Abstract
A car emblem remover for cleaning removing car emblems from a car to preserve both the car emblem and the painted surface of the car. Features of the car emblem remover include paper-thin spacers to space the cutting edge of the blade from the painted car surface, a tubular-like handle for receiving and shielding the car emblem being removed, an inclined inner surface to slowly lift the emblem from the car, and slightly raised bottom runners to account for curvature of the painted car surface.
Claims7
A car emblem remover for cleanly removing an emblem from the painted surface of a car, comprising:
- (a) a base portion for engaging the painted surface of the car;
- (b) a blade portion extending from the base portion and having a cutting edge for cutting between the emblem and the painted surface of the car for removing the emblem from the car, wherein the blade portion includes a pair of side portions that are generally parallel to one another and which are transversely spaced from one another with the cutting edge extending between the side portions;
- and
- (c) a paper-thin spacer means extending from the base portion and disposed adjacent to and below the cutting edge of the blade portion for spacing the cutting edge of the blade portion from the painted surface of the car to minimize damage to the painted surface, wherein the base portion includes a pair of forwardly extending base feet extending adjacent to and below the side portions of the blade portion, the base feet further having respective front ends, wherein the base feet carry said paper-thin spacer means adjacent said front ends thereof located proximate to and below the cutting edge of the blade portion.
A car emblem remover for cleanly removing an emblem from the painted surface of a car, comprising:
- (a) a base portion for engaging the painted surface of the car, wherein the base portion includes a pair of side sections that are transversely spaced apart from one another;
- (b) a blade portion extending from the base portion and having a cutting edge for cutting between the emblem and the painted surface of the car for removing the emblem from the car;
- and
- (c) a handle extending from the side sections of the base portion, wherein the handle comprises a pair of sidewall portions extending from the side sections and a ceiling portion extending between the sidewall portions such that the user can grip the sidewall portions with the user's hand at least partially overlying the ceiling portion, the base portion, sidewall and ceiling portions forming a shielded passage for receiving the emblem being removed and for shielding the emblem from breakage by the hand on the handle.
