DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The present invention is a sponge with a permanently affixed scraper blade, known hereon after as the scraping element, permanently affixed to one of the edges of the sponge. Currently, there exists sponges, but none that have an additional scraping element, allowing the user to clean surfaces with more efficiency. The sponge's added scraping element will allow the user to get rid of harder to remove substances such as dirt, food, stains, etcetera from surfaces. Currently, on the market and available to the public are sponges, but none with an added scraping element. Additionally, currently on the market and available to the public are scraper blades.

We all know that there are three levels of cleaning a surface. 1) Substances that can be removed with a towel; 2) substances that need to be removed with a sponge; and 3) substances that need to be removed with your fingernail or a scraper blade; we've all been there! The present invention places a scraper blade, the scraping element, permanently affixed to a sponge. This allows the user to clean with more efficiency by allowing the user to get rid of harder to remove substances from surfaces while also allowing the user to wipe down or clean surface with the sponge.

While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications can be made to the structure and elements of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as a whole.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is the front view of a sponge (labeled A) comprising a scraper blade (labeled B).

FIG. 2 is the side view of a sponge, comprising two sides. One side of the sponge is a soft sponge (labeled C) and the other side of the sponge is a scouring sponge (labeled D), comprising a scraper blade (labeled E) sandwiched in between the two sides of the sponge.

FIG. 3 is a cross-section of a sponge (labeled F) comprising a scraper blade (labeled G). As you can see, the scraper blade is extended downward between the sandwiched sponges to provide stability for the scraper blade.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

A sponge, comprising two sides, one side a soft sponge and the other side a scouring sponge.
