Embodiment Construction

[0037]Referring initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary embodiment of a device for removing a surface covering material from a substrate is shown. The device is referred to as a powered shingle remover 100. The remover 100 comprises a handle assembly 102 connected to a housing referred to as operating head 112. The handle assembly 102 includes an elongate shaft 104 with a linear, straight, section 106 terminating in a curved section 108. The linear section 106 of the shaft transitions into the curved section 108 through a plurality of elbows 120 to define a generally “C” shape lying in a transverse plane. Situated on the linear straight section 106 is a stabilising handle 110, whose position may be adjusted along the linear section 106 to suit the operator using the remover 100.

[0038]The handle assembly 102 terminates in a yoke 114 for primary control by the operator. A plurality of switches are located on the yoke 114 for access by the operator including a switch 116 for manual ov...

Abstract

A device used to remove surface covering materials such as shingles. The device is comprised of an end handle having a plurality of switches and an anchoring mechanism, a handle shaft with a straight and curved portion, a secondary handle, and a base assembly. The anchoring mechanism can be used to secure the device to its work surface. The base assembly provides the mechanisms to automate the removal of shingles or other surface covering materials fastened using fasteners such as nails. The base assembly includes a blade assembly, a rotary support, a lever, a piston assembly, and a switch valve. The switch valve controls the routing of the fluid supply connected to the device. The device is powered by a supply of air or other fluid from a source such as a compressor.
