Abstract
A scraper apparatus (20) includes a fixed length elongated hollow shaft (24) having a first end (26), a second end (28), and a reinforcement region (22) intermediate to the first and second ends (26, 28). A handle (30) is coupled to the first end (26) of the shaft (24) and one of a generally flat scraper blade (32) and a T-shaped scraper blade (56) is coupled to the second end (28) of the shaft (24). The reinforcement region (22) may include a double layer of material that resists bending, bowing, and breaking. Alternatively, a reinforcement region (56) may be a hollow stepped section (76) having a wall thickness (78) that is thicker than wall thicknesses (80) of corresponding adjoining shaft portions (68, 72) of a shaft (58).
