ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating layers comprising a stack of material includes an elongate blade having a relatively sharp distal end, a handle pivotally supported at the proximal end of the blade, and a hammer supported on the handle for striking the proximal end of the blade to drive the blade between selected layers comprising the stack of material. After the blade has been inserted between the selected layers to a predetermined extent, the handle is pivoted into a perpendicular orientation relative to the blade and is utilized to pivot the blade through an arc of 90 degrees, thereby separating the selected layers of material to permit the insertion of a spacer therebetween. The foregoing steps are repeated until the selected layers of material have been fully separated.
