ABSTRACT:
An elevating type scraper for earth moving purposes having an open-fronted bowl with a scraper blade along the leading edge and with a rearwardly inclined elevator for sweeping the loosened soil from the blade into the bowl. The back of the bowl and the base of the blade are fixed to provide bowl reinforcement. The bottom of the bowl is enclosed by a horizontally slidable floor member for movement from an enclosing position forwardly into an out-of-the-way position nested under the blade base. In the preferred embodiment, the floor consists of two sections, a front floor member and a "mid" floor member which are arranged substantially edge-to-edge but which are simultaneously moved to a stacked position under the blade base. Rearwardly of the mid floor member is a full-width pivoted strike-off member which is hinged under the back of the bowl, having a horizontal enclosing position and a vertical striking position. Means are provided for moving the floor members forwardly and for simultaneously dropping the strike-off member into vertical striking position so as to uncover substantially the entire bottom area of the bowl for prompt discharge of the collected soil which is thereupon leveled, full width, by the striker blade.
