Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sponges and, more particularly, to scraper sponges made of natural and/or man made materials adapted for cleaning and scraping a desired area.
  • Sponges have been used for many years as a tool for cleaning cookware, utensils, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, automobile surfaces, windows, floors, furniture and a myriad of other objects and surfaces. Sponges are used in these applications in part because they are absorbent, reusable, light weight, and easy to grasp and manipulate.
  • a primary disadvantage of sponges is that by themselves, sponges are too soft and pliable to scrape away unwanted substances such as dirt, hardened oils or grease, mildew, waxes or foods that stick and adhere to surfaces and reside in corners, grooves and crevices.
  • abrasive layers have been added to sponges to enable users to scrape away substances.
  • abrasive layers do not effectively allow users to remove substances residing in tight corners, grooves and crevices because neither the sponge nor the abrasive layer provide a rigid enough edge, particularly when saturated with liquid, to enable users to impart the requisite forces necessary for scraping and removing unwanted substances from these tight locations and, in some cases, from flat surfaces as well.
  • a scraper sponge comprising a sponge body defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a scraper secured to one of the first and second surfaces, the scraper having a tip portion extending outwardly and defining at least one edge and a depressible surface to which forces are applied to manipulate the scraper and apply enough pressure to effectively scrape unwanted substances from an object or surface.
  • the depressible surface is contoured for receiving at least a portion of (i) a human finger, (ii) multiple human fingers, (iii) a human hand, or (iv) two human hands.
  • the at least one edge is at least one of (i) semi rigid and (ii) substantially rigid to facilitate effective scraping.
  • the sponge body comprises multiple layers including a first layer defining the first surface of the sponge body and a second layer defining the second surface of the sponge body.
  • the scraper sponge comprises a sponge body defining an outer surface and an aperture and a scraper fixedly secured within the aperture, the scraper having a tip portion defining at least one edge and a depressible surface to which forces are applied to manipulate the scraper.
  • the at least one edge and depressible surface extend outwardly from the outer surface of the sponge body.
  • the depressible surface optionally is contoured for receiving at least a portion of (i) a human finger, (ii) multiple human fingers, (iii) a human hand, or (iv) two human hands.
  • the at least one edge is at least one of (i) semi rigid and (ii) substantially rigid to facilitate effective scraping.
  • the scraper sponge comprises a sponge body defining an outer surface and including a first layer and a second layer and a scraper fixedly secured between the first and second layers, the scraper defining at least one edge and a depressible surface to which forces are applied to manipulate the scraper, the at least one edge and depressible surface extending outwardly from the outer surface of the sponge body.
  • the depressible surface optionally is contoured for receiving at least a portion of (i) a human finger, (ii) multiple human fingers, (iii) a human hand, or (iv) two human hands.
  • the at least one edge is at least one of (i) semi rigid and (ii) substantially rigid to facilitate effective scraping.
  • FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of the scraper sponge according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the scraper sponge of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of the scraper sponge of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the scraper sponge of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 5 is a rear perspective view of the scraper sponge of FIG. 1 including an additional layer on the sponge body.
  • FIG. 6 is a front perspective view of the scraper sponge of FIG. 5 .

  • FIG. 10 is a front perspective view of a scraper sponge according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 11 is a front perspective view of a scraper sponge according to a third embodiment of the invention.
  • the present invention is directed to a scraper sponge or pad adapted for scraping and removing unwanted substances such as dirt, hardened oils or grease, mildew, waxes, stuck on foods, or other substances that adhere to surfaces and reside in corners, grooves, holes and crevices.
  • the scraper sponge 10 comprises a sponge body 20 defining a first surface 24 , a second surface 26 opposite the first surface and a continuous side surface 25 around the perimeter.
  • the sponge body 20 can be made from numerous materials such as polyester foam, natural sponges, polyurethane foams, cellulose, absorbent arrays of synthetic fibers or any combination thereof.

  • the thickness T of the sponge body 20 ranges from about 1 ⁇ 2 inch to about 3 inches.
  • the thickness T of the sponge body 20 ranges from about 3 ⁇ 4 inch to about 2 inches.
  • a scraper 30 is fixedly secured to one of the first and second surfaces 24 , 26 of the sponge body 20 by way of heat fusion and/or the application of an adhesive (not shown), or by any other method that is currently known or later becomes known to one skilled in the art.
  • the scraper 30 is movably attached to one of the first and second surfaces 24 , 26 allowing the user to adjust the position of the scraper 30 relative to the sponge body 20 .
  • the scraper 30 includes a tip portion 34 extending outwardly from the sponge body 20 , and tapers into at least one defined edge 38 along the perimeter of the tip 34 .
  • the tip portion 34 extends outwardly from the broad end 22 of the sponge body 20 and, in an alternative embodiment (not shown), the tip portion 34 extends outwardly from the tapered end 23 of the sponge body 20 .
  • the edge 38 ranges from being semi rigid to substantially rigid for scraping unwanted substances and is narrow at its apex for entering tight corners, groves and crevices and for effectively scraping surfaces.
  • the scraper 30 defines a depressible surface 36 to which normal and angular forces are applied by the user to manipulate the scraper 30 and apply pressure as required to scrape away and remove substances where desired.
  • the scraper 30 can be made from numerous materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, plastics, polymers, wood, metal or any combination thereof.
  • the depressible surface 36 is contoured in a concave-like manner and, depending on the size, is adapted for receiving at least a portion of: (i) a human finger, (ii) multiple human fingers, (iii) a human hand, or (iv) two human hands, for applying pressure and manipulating the scraper 30 as noted above.
  • the sponge body 20 comprises multiple layers including a first layer 40 defining the first surface 24 and a second layer 42 defining the second surface 26 .
  • the layers 40 , 42 are heat fused and/or bonded together using an adhesive (not shown) such as glue, or by any method that is currently know or later becomes known to those skilled in the art.
  • the first and second layers 40 , 42 can be made from numerous materials such as polyester foam, natural sponges, polyurethane foams, cellulose, absorbent arrays of synthetic fibers, non-woven materials or any combination thereof; in one embodiment, the second layer 42 is made from open cell foam material made from melamine resin such as, for example, material manufactured by BASF corporation in Ludwigshaffen, German and sold under the name BASOTECT®.
  • the scraper 30 is secured to the first surface 24 and the thickness of the second layer 42 may comprise between about 10% to about 80% of the total thickness of the scraper sponge 10 .
  • the second layer comprises between about 20% to about 60%, and more preferably between about 25% to about 50%, of the total thickness of the scraper sponge 10 .
  • the second layer 42 comprises about 30% of the total thickness of the cleaning pad.
  • the second layer 42 can be made surface scrubbing materials known in the art for their scouring abilities such as, for example, non-woven material.
  • the scraper sponge 110 defines a sponge body 120 defining an outer surface including a first surface 124 , a second surface 126 , a continuous side surface 125 , and an aperture 128 extending through the side surface 125 for receiving the scraper 130 .
  • the scraper 130 is fixedly secured within the aperture 128 by way of heat fusion or by an adhesive (not shown) such as glue and, like the scraper described above, has a tip portion 134 defining an edge 138 and a depressible surface 136 to which forces are applied to manipulate the scraper.
