ABSTRACT:
A hand held scraping device adapted for use by a person and having a handle portion and a concave scoop portion having a recess proximate the handle portion for receiving the user's thumb. This recess facilitates the user's grip and ability to manipulate the device. This recess can be further defined by a ridge and the side edges of the scoop. The scoop portion terminates in a distal cutting edge that extends transversely of the longitudinal axis. The scoop portion has a concavity with respect to a scoop plane. The distal cutting edge is upturned with respect to scoop plane when the concavity is upwardly opening. In the preferred embodiment the scoop portion includes a pair of side edges with an upturned side cutting edge. The scoop includes an interior scoop surface, a blunt flat distal end surface that is oriented transversely of the longitudinal axis and an exterior scoop portion. This flat distal end surface prevents inadvertent cuts and makes this scraper safer for child use. The distal end surface is oriented at an acute angle relative to the interior scoop surface forming the upturned cutting edge.
