ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent tube breaker apparatus includes a housing assembly which defines a bulb-receiving chamber for receiving a fluorescent tube. The housing assembly includes a first end portion, a body portion, and a second end portion. The second end portion is selectively removable and replaceable with respect to the body portion, and the body portion includes a spike-receiver aperture. A tube breaker assembly is connected to the housing assembly and includes a housing-connection portion connected to the housing assembly. A hinge portion is connected to the housing-connection portion. A lever portion is connected to the hinge portion, and a spike portion is connected to the lever portion. The spike portion projects from the lever portion and is in registration with the spike-receiver aperture of the body portion of the housing assembly. The spike portion includes a connected end which is connected to the lever portion of the tube breaker assembly. A main body of the spike portion is connected to the connected end. A free tip end is connected to the main body. A spring member is positioned between the lever portion of the tube breaker assembly and the body portion of the housing assembly. The spring member normally positions the lever portion with respect to the body portion such that the main body of the spike portion is normally positioned outside of the bulb-receiving chamber.
