HAND TOOL HAVING INTERCHANGEABLE ACCESSORIES

摘要

A hand tool (10) having a frame (12) which holds interchangeable working heads (16) for scraping ice and other materials, scrubbing and sanding. The frame (14) pivotally carries the working head (16) at one end and has a curved forearm brace (22) at the other end. A hand grip bar (18) is located between the ends of the frame (14) such that the forearm provides force against the brace (22) to hold the working head (16) against the work surface. This creates a leverage effect and relieves stress on the wrist. The pivotal head (16) allows angled or contoured surfaces to be followed without requiring the wrist to flex at different angles. The scraping head has two scraping edges (28, 30) which scrape on both push and pull strokes. An accessory head (40) which is interchangeable with the ice scraping head (22) can hold two metal scraping blades (56) or interchangeable base plates which provide a sanding sheet (78) and a scrubbing pad, respectively.
