Title: Surface mounted decorative element removal device
Inventor: ASHMORE WINSTON
IPC: B66F15/00
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: A tool for removing decorative elements (eg. tiles, skirting boards, dado rails) which are affixed to a surface, whilst minimising damage to the element or the surface. The tool comprises a planar section 12, the front edge of which is chamfered 28 such that its upper surface 14 overhangs its lower surface (26). A cranked section 16, which may be integral with or attached to the planar member, supports a handle 18. The lower end of handle 18 is strengthened to resist blows from eg. a hammer or mallet without significant damage. The handle points forwardly of the cranked section, its longitudinal axis forming an acute angle with the plane of the planar section. In use, the planar section is lodged under the edge of an article to be removed and then hammered fully under it, before being used as a lever to remove the said article. The reverse chamfer on the planar section ensures that the planar section is not driven into the surface on which the article is mounted and the cranked section provides room for the user to apply hammer strokes without impacting on that surface.
