Claim:
A two handed force applying ceiling scraper unit allowing a user to reach aloft and scrape acoustic “popcorn” ceiling material from an acoustic ceiling, said scraper unit comprising: a crooked elongated handle having a first forward end connected to a tray shaped trough and a second rearward end opposite said first end, with said rearward end being formed as a rocker shaped arm rest with a concave upper surface adapted to receive and conform to an underside portion of a user's arm at the user's elbow and forward of the user's elbow to the user's wrist for holding said unit during use; a tray-shaped trough connected at the first forward end of said crooked handle with said trough having a scraper blade across a top front upper leading edge of said trough; a vacuum opening in a lower rearward portion of said trough allowing attachment at said trough of a suction hose to be applied to the interior of said trough for removal of debris scraped from a ceiling by said scraper blade; said arm rest at the second rearward end of said elongated handle having an upper curved concave surface substantially conforming to said underside surface portion for one of the user's arms and allowing a user to hold the ceiling scraper aloft and a pistol-like grip with an arch shaped extension over the grip located just forward of the concave surface as additional support for said handle which allows a user to apply a ceiling scraping force at said blade location on said trough with a first arm and hand; and a double bend upward offset in said handle located forward of said pistol-like grip, which upward offset includes a side projecting handle allowing the user to place a second hand on the side projecting handle to apply a force at the pistol-style grip and at said side projecting handle for said two handed force for the ceiling scraper unit.
