ABSTRACT:
A stripper device for use in removing a covering from a flat surface, such as tile from a floor. The device includes an elongated member or arm for pushing a blade over the surface, the arm having a connecting portion, for example, at an inner end for mounting on a fork-lift truck. At the outer end of the arm, there is provided a connector for the blade which is in the form of a disk having a sharp peripheral edge. The disk includes a mating connector, and preferable, the connectors of the blade and arm are in the form of a ball and socket combination so that the blade can rotate about a vertical axis, and the axis of rotation can vary relative to the arm so that the peripheral edge can lie flatly against the floor at all times. The disk has a convex upper surface which intersects a lower surface at a shallow angle relative to the horizontal plane containing the peripheral edge. The device is effective in removing a covering such as tile from a floor surface by pushing the arm across the floor so that a portion of the edge of the blade rotates under the edge of the covering. The device is of simpler construction than known floor strippers which have become complex, usually including a wheel carried frame mounting a motor driven rotating cutter or brush or oscillating blade.
