RETRACTABLE BLADE SCRAPER HAVING A BLADE-STORAGE DRAWER AND A BLADE SLIDE WITH UPPER AND LOWER BLADE-CLAMPING MEMBERS

摘要

A retractable blade scraper includes a handle body having a handle rear end and a handle forward end including a forward-end opening. An internal blade-slide cavity extends rearwardly from the forward-end opening toward the handle rear end and selectively receives a blade through the forward-end opening. A blade slide housed by the blade-slide cavity includes lower and upper blade slide members between which the blade is retained. A blade-slide actuator is accessible through an actuator slot defined through a wall of the handle body between slot first and second ends. Reciprocation of the actuator between the slot first and second ends reciprocates the blade slide and the blade between a rearward blade-storage position and a forward blade-changing position in which the blade protrudes to facilitate blade changing. Threadably cooperating members facilitate an alternative clamping and release of a blade between the blade slide members.
