Claims10
A floor covering removal tool comprising a first part and a second part coupled together by a hinge to form a roller having a substantially cylindrical body with a longitudinal opening for insertion of an end of the floor covering to be removed, means for holding the end of the floor covering in place inside the cylindrical body, a coupler at least at one end of the cylindrical body for coupling the roller to a drive mechanism to roll the roller over the floor covering to be removed so that the floor covering rolls onto the roller.
A floor covering removal tool comprising a roller having an essentially cylindrical outer body made of sufficiently rigid material so that the roller will not twist and will not skew the floor covering on the roller as the covering is rolled onto the roller and a means for clamping an end of the floor covering inside the cylindrical body.
A floor covering removal tool comprising a first part and a second part coupled together by a hinge to form a roller having a substantially cylindrical body, each part having an essentially half cylindrical shape with a longitudinal open face means for holding the end of a floor covering internal of the cylindrical body, the holding means comprising a first plate attached to the first part to cover the open face of the first part and having a length nearly equal to the longitudinal length of the first part to form a partition across the first part and a second plate attached to the second part to cover the open face of the second part and having a length nearly equal to the longitudinal length of the second part to form a partition across the second part.
