Abstract: |
A new meat scraping tool for easily dislodging meat by pressing a button. The inventive device includes a handle. A plurality of generally cylindrical stationary blade members arranged in a concentric configuration are included. The stationary blade members have coextensive end portions extending inwardly of an end of the handle. The stationary blade members each have a blunt upper edge and a sharp lower edge. A plurality of generally cylindrical pivoting blade members each are positioned in an abutting relationship with an interior surface of respective stationary blade members. The pivoting blade members have coextensive end portions extending inwardly of the end of the handle. The pivoting blade members each have a blunt upper edge and a sharp lower edge. The pivoting blade members are pivotable with respect to the stationary blade members.

I claim:
1. A new meat scraping tool for easily dislodging meat by pressing a button comprising, in combination:
- a handle having a generally rectangular configuration, the handle having an inner end and an outer end, the inner end having an end recess extending inwardly thereof, the handle further including a top recess extending through an upper surface thereof into communication with the end recess, the outer end of the handle having a protuberance of a side edge thereof;
- three generally cylindrical stationary blade members arranged in a concentric configuration, the stationary blade members having coextensive end portions extending inwardly of the end recess of the handle, the end portions being secured within the end recess by a retaining bolt, the stationary blade members each having a blunt upper edge and a sharp lower edge;
- three generally cylindrical pivoting blade members each being positioned in an abutting relationship with an interior surface of respective stationary blade members, the pivoting blade members having coextensive end portions extending inwardly of the end recess of the handle, the end portions of the pivoting blade members being coupled within the end recess by a pivot pin, the pivoting blade members each having a blunt upper edge and a sharp lower edge; and
- a trigger mechanism disposed within the top recess of the handle, the trigger mechanism including a button slidably disposed within the top recess, the button having a spring extending downwardly from a recessed lower surface thereof, a free end of the spring secured to a lower recessed end of the top recess, the button having an arm portion extending laterally therefrom for coupling with the coextensive end portions of the pivoting blade members whereby pressing downwardly on the button facilitates upward raising of the pivoting blade members with respect to the stationary members.
