Claim:
A rug shaver to remove loose fibers from an object, the rug shaver comprising: a handle having a handle length of at least two feet, where the handle includes shaft sections configured to lock in position relative to each other and to slide one within another to vary the handle length; a swivel; a shaver head connected to the handle through the swivel, where the shaver head includes a container having a container left side and a container right side attached between a container front and a container rear, where the container left side, the container right side, the container front, and the container rear are positioned between a container top and a container bottom to form a container interior, where the container top has material removed to form a basket cutout; a basket removeably retained within the basket cutout, where the basket includes a basket left side and a basket right side attached between a basket front and a basket rear, where the basket left side, the basket right side, the basket front, and the basket rear are positioned between a basket top and a basket bottom to form a basket interior, where the basket top includes basket vents that are large enough to permit air to flow from the basket interior through basket vents but small enough to assist in preventing loose fibers from flowing through the basket vents, where the basket right side includes basket intake openings that are exposed to the container interior; a filter positioned within the basket interior against the basket vents; a grill plate removeably attached within the container interior at the container bottom, where the grill plate has grill plate slots, where each grill plate slot is large enough to permit one or several fiber strands to pass through that grill plate slot; a mounting plate anchored within the container interior between the grill plate and the container top; a motor attached to the mounting plate; and blades connected to the motor through a drive belt and attached to the mounting plate above the grill plate.
