Suction-Cup Floor Mover for Precise, Damage-Free Board Repositioning

The patent introduces a specialized tool as an intermediary between the hammer and the floorboard. This tool includes a striking block with a large contact area that distributes the impact force, and a insertion component that fits into the gap between floorboards. The intermediary tool transforms the concentrated hammer blow into distributed, controlled force applied to the floorboard edge, preventing surface damage while maintaining moving effectiveness.

The patent changes the physical parameters of the striking interface by using a striking block with significantly larger surface area compared to direct hammer contact. This parameter change (increasing contact area) reduces the pressure (force per unit area) applied to the floorboard surface, preventing damage while still transmitting sufficient total force to move the floorboard into position.

The patent applies local quality by designing the insertion component with specific geometric characteristics suited for its function. The insertion component has a tapered or rounded leading edge that fits into the narrow gap between floorboards, allowing it to engage the floorboard edge at a specific location without forcing or splitting the surrounding floor structure. Different parts of the tool have different geometries optimized for their specific functions.

The insertion component serves as a mediator that bridges the gap between the hammer striking force and the floorboard. It fits into the narrow space between floorboards and provides a controlled interface for force transmission, avoiding direct hammer contact with the floor surface and preventing insertion-related damage.

The patent extracts the adhesive function from the tool by eliminating the need for adhesives entirely. Instead of adhering a striking block to the floor, the tool uses a mechanical insertion component that fits into the gap between floorboards and a striking block that is held in place by the tool's structure. This extraction of the adhesive function simplifies the process and eliminates cleanup issues.

The tool structure itself acts as an intermediary that holds the striking block in position during operation, replacing the adhesive function. The striking block is retained by the tool's mechanical structure rather than by adhesive, eliminating the need for adhesive application and removal while maintaining the striking function.
