Scraper attachment for sponges

摘要

A scraper attachment for mounting onto sponges used in cleaning applications is described. The inventive attachment comprises a leading scraping edge, a serrated raised edge, a debris catch, finger grips and side flaps formed integrally as a single piece of material. A support rod integral a side flap of the inventive scraper attachment is pierced through the body of a sponge for securely mounting the inventive attachment on a sponge to by fastening to the opposite side flap. The inventive scraper attachment can be easily dismounted from the sponge for reuse and cleaning, and be used independently with any brand of sponge. The serrated raised edge serves to help break up stubborn deposits, while the debris catch collects the loosened material for convenient cleaning. Additionally, a liquid soap or detergent dispensing means is included to infuse liquid soap or detergent into the sponge.

主权项

1. A scraper attachment for a sponge, comprising:
(i) a main body adapted to be removably affixed to a body of a sponge, said main body comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, front and rear edges, the front edge adapted to scrape material from a surface, a first side edge and a second side edge, a first flap hingedly affixed to the first side edge and a second flap hingedly affixed to the second side edge and thereby bendably articulate with the main body, each flap having an outer surface and an inner surface; (ii) least one elongate rod for piercing and penetrating through both sides of the body of the sponge to securely affix the scraper attachment to the sponge, said at least one elongate rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end affixed to the inner surface of the first flap in such a way that the at least one elongate rod extends from the inner surface of the first side flap to the inner surface of the second side flap when both the first and second side flaps are bent to form substantially right angles with the bottom surface of the main body such that the sponge is partially enclosed by said scraper attachment; and (iii) at least one receiving means disposed on the inner surface of the second flap, said receiving means adapted to receive the distal end of the at least one elongate rod in such a way so as to form a fixed configuration of the side flaps bent with respect to the bottom surface plane.
