Abstract:
1. A device for scraping debris from a honey super having upper and lower ends, a vertically disposed front wall, a vertically disposed back wall, a vertically disposed first side wall, a vertically disposed second side wall, the walls having inner and outer surfaces with the inner surfaces of each of the front and back wall having an elongated, horizontally disposed recess formed therein at the upper end thereof which extends between the inner surfaces of the first and second walls, comprising: a frame means having a lower end, an upper end, a front side, a back side, a first side and a second side; a horizontally disposed super support including a front end, a back end, a first side and a back side adapted to have a super selectively removably positioned thereon so that the front side of the super is positioned at the front end of said super support; a first power cylinder operatively secured to said frame means and said super support which selectively moves said super support between a lower loading/unloading position to an upper position and vice versa; a first generally horizontally disposed scraping assembly mounted on said frame which is adapted to scrape debris from the inside wall surfaces of the super as the super is raised from its said lower position to its said upper position by said first power cylinder; a second generally horizontally disposed scraping assembly selectively movably mounted on said frame means above said lower end thereof; said second scraping assembly being horizontally movable between first and second positions; said second scraping assembly including first and second scrapers which protrude into the recesses at the upper inner surfaces of the front and back walls of the super when said super support has moved from its said lower position to its said upper position with a super thereon; said first and second scrapers being selectively movable between the ends of the respective recesses to scrape debris therefrom.
