ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for the removal of carpet adhesively attached to a floor. The carpet is cut into strips of predetermined width and an end of each strip is pulled up. A clamp is provided to grip the pulled-up strip end. The clamp has an elongate lower jaw with a plurality of upright longitudinally spaced-apart spikes extending therefrom. An inverted, U-shaped upper jaw is hingeably mounted to swing down over the spikes to impale the carpet thereon, and a locking ring locks the upper jaw in place. An elongate handle is rigidly attached to the jaws to rotate and pull the jaws, thus pulling up the carpet.
