View Patent ↗An attachment device for floor shaving systems includes a machine mounting coupler and a joint that connects the mounting coupler to a tool receptacle. A receiving block is configured to engage the mounting coupler and an inside edge of a tool receiver of a floor scraping machine to secure the mounting coupler to the floor scraping machine.
1. A device, comprising:
a mounting coupler having a first end and a second end;
a tool receptacle having a first end and a second end;
a joint that connects the second end of the mounting coupler to the first end of the tool receptacle; and
a receiving block,
wherein the first end of the mounting coupler is configured to be positioned through a tool receiver of a floor scraping machine, and
wherein the receiving block is configured to engage the first end of the mounting coupler and an inside edge of the tool receiver to secure the mounting coupler to the floor scraping machine.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the receiving block is secured to the first end of the mounting coupler by a first bolt.
3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a pair of fixed pins that extend outward from the mounting coupler.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the pair of fixed pins are configured to engage an outer edge of the tool receiver when the receiving block is engaged with the first end of the mounting coupler.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the mounting coupler and the tool receptacle are constructed from steel, and the joint comprises a weld.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the tool receptacle includes an opening along the second end.
7. The device of claim 6 , further comprising:
a hollow channel that extends from the opening toward the first end of the tool receptacle.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the hollow channel includes a shape and a size that is complementary to a shape and a size of a shaft of the scraping tool.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the scraping tool is removably positioned within the channel.
10. The device of claim 8 , further comprising:
a magnet that is positioned within the hollow channel, said magnet functioning to engage and secure the shaft of the scraping tool to the tool receptacle.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the scraping tool is removably and rotatably positioned within the channel by the magnet.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the tool receptacle is configured to engage and position a scraping tool at the acute angle relative to a direction of travel of the floor scraping machine.
13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the tool receptacle includes a shape and a size that is complementary to a shape and a size of a receiver on the floor scraping machine.
