Abstract
Demolishing glazing at a distance uses a demolition ram comprising a pusher, a handle having proximal and distal ends, and fasteners connecting the handle at the distal end to the pusher. The demolishing comprises touching a subpane of the glazing with the pusher, pushing the subpane out of the glazing, and moving the subpane so that it can fall due to its weight, and then catching the falling subpane with a receptacle comprising a mat. The pushing comprises exerting a force about the proximal end, and generating an impulsive force onto the subpane by the exerting through the touching. The impulsive force is generally coaxial with the force of the exerting. The handle has a slenderness ratio of at least twenty-five and not more than one hundred ten that distances the exerting from the generating.
Claims10
A method of demolishing glazing at a distance with a demolition ram wherein the glazing comprises at least one subpane having a weight:
- wherein the demolition ram comprises:
- a pusher comprising a plate having a proximal surface, a distal surface, and a perimeter,
- a handle having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the ends, and
- fasteners, comprising a first plurality, that connect the handle to the pusher;
- wherein the first plurality is on the pusher;
- wherein:
- the handle is rigidly connected at the distal end to the plate on the proximal surface spaced from the perimeter,
- the longitudinal axis is generally perpendicular to the proximal surface, and
- the handle is centrally located on the proximal surface;
- wherein said method comprises:
- touching the subpane with the pusher;
- pushing the subpane out of the glazing with the demolition ram, wherein said pushing comprises:
- exerting a force about the proximal end, and
- generating an impulsive force onto the subpane by said exerting through said touching;
- and
- moving the subpane by said impulsive force to a position where the subpane can fall due to the weight thereof;
- wherein said impulsive force is generally coaxial with said force of said exerting;
- wherein said method further comprises a step for distancing said exerting from said generating;
- and
- wherein said step for distancing comprises the handle having a slenderness ratio of at least twenty-five and not more than one hundred ten.
