Patent ID: 7152930

Claim:
A stripper usable by an operator to remove a flooring material from a floor surface, the stripper comprising: an eccentric driver; a driven member having first and second ends, the first end operably connected to the eccentric driver; a structure defining a coupling point; a working element operably connected to the second end of the driven member, wherein the second end reciprocates and moves transversely relative to the coupling point, wherein the eccentric driver is operable to drive the first end of the driven member in a non-linear input motion, wherein the driven member is coupled to the coupling point at a location between its first and second ends, wherein the location of the coupling between the coupling point and the driven member is adjustable by a user of the stripper, wherein the structure defining the coupling point comprises a pin coupled to a slot on the driven member, and wherein the pin is fixed to a pin bracket, and wherein the location of the pin bracket is adjustable by the floor stripper's operator: a frame including at least two frame rails disposed apart from one another; and an apparatus for adjusting the location of the pin bracket along the frame and securing the pin bracket to the frame rails.
