The apparatus also includes a shaft extending from the bracket. The shaft is substantially horizontal and the apparatus also includes a scraping element pivotally mounted on the shaft. A torsion spring biases the scraping element with respect to the shaft. In some forms of the invention the scraping element comprises a first and second journals engaging the shaft at axially spaced points and the scraping element further includes first and second arms extending radially away from the shaft that are respectively fixed to the first and second journals. The apparatus may further include a first plate shaped member carried on the first and second arms and a second plate shaped member removably attached to the first plate shaped member.
