Filed:

Dec 6, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/163045

Inventors:

John Faldetta - New York NY

International Classification:

A47L 1308

US Classification:

15105

Abstract:

A hand tool for removing adhesive material, such as ceramics, from cylindrical containers and/or scraping such containers clean of residual adhesive material, thereby salvaging such material and reducing the labor and material costs of construction work, includes a handle and two different sized blade members of semicylindrical shape. The dual size feature makes the tool suitable for a range of container sizes, especially one gallon and one quart containers. The absence of a bottom surface connected to the blade members enhances the efficiency of the tool. By one or two simple hand rotations of the tool while the appropriate blade member is inside the container, virtually all of the adhesive material can be removed. The length of the blade members, their placement with respect to one another and the placement of an angulated rod connecting the blade members to the handle make use of the tool simple and effective.
