ABSTRACT:
This relates generally to devices used in the removal of excess spray-applied insulation from building components, and more particularly to an improved rotary scrubber that is readily extendable for reaching areas of extended elevation. To facilitate the scrubbing of insulation from areas of extended elevation, one embodiment of the scrubber has an adjustable handle assembly connected to the housing. The adjustable handle assembly preferably comprises a receiver connected to the housing and an extension and a support handle adjustably connected with the receiver. The extension preferably defines an extension handle, with the support handle adjustably connected with the receiver forward of the extension handle when the extension is adjustably connected with the receiver. In other embodiments, the scrubber further comprises at least one extender optionally removably connectable between the scrubber's housing and the framework. The at least one extender comprises a ferrule member, connecting the housing to the gearbox of the framework and enclosing an extender drive link operably associating the motor and gearbox. The at least one extender, may comprise any number of extenders, from one extender to a plurality of extenders. If desired, a plurality of extenders may be utilized in end-to-end relation, with each extender adapted for a removable connection between the housing and the framework, between another extender and the framework, between another extender and the housing or between other extenders of the plurality.
