A bulk material conveyor belt scraper assembly comprising: a) a bulk material conveyor belt scraper having a leading side and a trailing side, the belt scraper comprising: i) a scraper portion, the scraper portion having a scraping edge that lies on the leading side of the belt scraper, the scraping edge being configured and adapted to engage a moving conveyor belt in a manner such that the scraper portion removes bulk material from the conveyor belt with the leading side of the belt scraper leading the trailing side; ii) a mounting portion, the mounting portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion as a monolithic part, the mounting portion protruding from the scraper portion opposite the scraping edge, the mounting portion tapering in a narrowing manner as it extends away from the scraper portion; and iii) a skirt portion, the skirt portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion and the mounting portion as a portion of the monolithic part and forming a portion of the leading side of the belt scraper, the skirt portion protruding from the scraper portion and being adjacent to and spaced from the mounting portion in a manner such that the skirt portion lies between the mounting portion and the leading side of the belt scraper and such that a slot extends through the belt scraper parallel to the scraping edge; and b) a mounting member, the mounting member being adapted and configured to connect the belt scraper to a conveyor belt system, characterized in that the mounting member comprises a tapered pocket surrounded by four wall portions, the mounting portion of the belt scraper is being positioned in the tapered pocket of the mounting member with one of the walls of the mounting member lying between the mounting portion of the belt scraper and the skirt portion of the belt scraper, wherein two through-holes (40, 50) extend through the mounting portion and the skirt portion of the belt scraper and through two of the walls of the mounting member, and wherein the assembly further comprises two securing pegs that fill the through-holes (40, 50) in a manner preventing the mounting portion of the belt scraper from being removed from the pocket of the mounting member and such that the securing pegs are positioned within the skirt portion of the belt scraper, through a first wall of the mounting member, through the mounting portion of the belt scraper, and within a second wall of the mounting member. a) a bulk material conveyor belt scraper having a leading side and a trailing side, the belt scraper comprising: i) a scraper portion, the scraper portion having a scraping edge that lies on the leading side of the belt scraper, the scraping edge being configured and adapted to engage a moving conveyor belt in a manner such that the scraper portion removes bulk material from the conveyor belt with the leading side of the belt scraper leading the trailing side; ii) a mounting portion, the mounting portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion as a monolithic part, the mounting portion protruding from the scraper portion opposite the scraping edge, the mounting portion tapering in a narrowing manner as it extends away from the scraper portion; and iii) a skirt portion, the skirt portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion and the mounting portion as a portion of the monolithic part and forming a portion of the leading side of the belt scraper, the skirt portion protruding from the scraper portion and being adjacent to and spaced from the mounting portion in a manner such that the skirt portion lies between the mounting portion and the leading side of the belt scraper and such that a slot extends through the belt scraper parallel to the scraping edge; and i) a scraper portion, the scraper portion having a scraping edge that lies on the leading side of the belt scraper, the scraping edge being configured and adapted to engage a moving conveyor belt in a manner such that the scraper portion removes bulk material from the conveyor belt with the leading side of the belt scraper leading the trailing side; ii) a mounting portion, the mounting portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion as a monolithic part, the mounting portion protruding from the scraper portion opposite the scraping edge, the mounting portion tapering in a narrowing manner as it extends away from the scraper portion; and iii) a skirt portion, the skirt portion being integrally formed with the scraper portion and the mounting portion as a portion of the monolithic part and forming a portion of the leading side of the belt scraper, the skirt portion protruding from the scraper portion and being adjacent to and spaced from the mounting portion in a manner such that the skirt portion lies between the mounting portion and the leading side of the belt scraper and such that a slot extends through the belt scraper parallel to the scraping edge; and b) a mounting member, the mounting member being adapted and configured to connect the belt scraper to a conveyor belt system, characterized in that the mounting member comprises a tapered pocket surrounded by four wall portions, the mounting portion of the belt scraper is being positioned in the tapered pocket of the mounting member with one of the walls of the mounting member lying between the mounting portion of the belt scraper and the skirt portion of the belt scraper,
