Claim:
A self-moving ground compactor comprising: a compacting roll; a scraper device for the compacting roll, the scraper device including a scraper that is pivotally supported at a support device such that the scraper can be pivoted to an operating position in which the scraper contacts the compacting roll, and pivoted to a non-operating position in which the scraper does not contact the compacting roll; an operating lever configured to pivotally operate the scraper; a latching arrangement configured to fix the scraper in the non-operating position; wherein the latching arrangement comprises a latching organ that is pre-stressed towards an active position and can be engaged to a counter latching organ to fix the scraper in the non-operating position; wherein the latching organ is adjustable between an active position in which the latching organ is in a latching engagement with the counter latching organ, and a passive position in which the latching organ is not in a latching engagement with the counter latching organ; and wherein the counter latching organ includes a deflection incline that is configured to shift the latching organ towards the passive position when the scraper is pivoted from the operating position towards the non-operating position, and is configured to shift the latching organ such that the latching organ comes into latching engagement with the counter latching organ when the scraper reaches the non-operating position.
