System for and method of demolition

A method for demolishing horizontally extending surfaces, said methods comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a horizontally extending surface to be demolished;
• b. in combination with step a. providing a vehicle with a standard universal skid steer loader mount configured for horizontal, vertical, and rotational movement:
• a demolition attachment for said vehicle having a plate configured for connection to said mount and a pry hook assembly which comprises a spear and a pry hook, which when viewed in side elevation, is shown projecting in a substantially horizontal direction with said spear being affixed atop said pry hook assembly and also projecting in a substantially horizontally direction beyond said pry hook assembly with said pry hook projecting downwardly and back toward said attachment means;
• c. affixing said plate to said mount
• d. orienting said pry hook assembly above said horizontally extending surface so that said spear projects substantially downward and is oriented for repeatedly pounding said horizontally extending surface until it is cracked;
• e. alternatively orienting said pry hook assembly above said horizontally extending surface so that said spear project other than substantially vertically and said pry hook projects generally downward and back toward said plate, so that said pry hook is positioned to snag an edge or created crack in said horizontally extending surfacer and then moves horizontally so as to pry said cracked portions of said horizontally extending surface away from remaining portions thereof;
• and
• f. alternatively utilizing said spear to move pieces of said horizontally extending surface.

A method of demolishing comprising:

• a. providing a substantially vertically oriented structure and a motor vehicle;
• b. in combination with step a. providing tool which comprises:
• attachment means;
• and a pry hook assembly which comprises a spear;
• and pry hook;
• and said pry hook;
• a pry hook assembly which comprises a spear;
• and pry hook;
• which tool, as viewed in side elevation, presents with said attachment means at one lateral end thereof, said pry hook assembly being affixed thereto and projecting essentially horizontally therefrom, said spear being affixed to a top aspect thereof and projecting essentially horizontally therefrom past the end of said pry hook assembly distal from said attachment means, while said pry hook projects downward and back toward said attachment means.
• b. affixing said tool to said vehicle for causing said tool to assume orientation between substantially vertical and substantially horizontal, and to cause said to move, up and down vertically, and/or back and forth horizontally.
• b. causing said vehicle to cause said pry hook to be positioned such that it snags a portion of said substantially vertically oriented structure and then moves substantially horizontally so as to cause said substantially oriented structure to be demolishing;
• and
• c. using said spear to move resulting demolishing portions of the substantially vertically oriented structure.

A method for demolishing concrete or asphalt or the like comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a region of concrete or asphalt or the like to be demolished;
• b. in combination with step a. providing tool which comprises attachment means;
• and a pry hook assembly which comprises a spear;
• and pry hook;
• and said pry hook;
• a pry hook assembly which comprises a spear;
• and pry hook;
• which tool, as viewed in side elevation, presents with said attachment means at one lateral end thereof, said pry hook assembly being affixed thereto and projecting essentially horizontally therefrom, said spear being affixed to a top aspect thereof and projecting essentially horizontally therefrom past the end of said pry hook assembly distal from said attachment means, while said pry hook projects downward and back toward said attachment means.
• c. via said attachment means affixing said tool to a vehicle for causing said tool to assume orientation between substantially vertical and substantially horizontal, and to cause said tool to move, up and down vertically, and/or back and forth horizontally to provide movable pieces of concrete or asphalt or the like,
• practicing at least one selection from the group consisting of steps d and e wherein step d. is using vehicle to orient said tool vertically above said concrete or asphalt or the like so that said spear projects substantially downward and thereafter cause said spear to repeatedly pound on concrete or asphalt or the like is that is targeted for demolition to the end that the concrete or asphalt or the like is cracked and step e. is using said vehicle to orient said system above concrete or asphalt or the like that is targeted for demolition so that said spear projects other than substantially vertically and said pry hook projects generally downward and back toward said attachment means to cause said pry hook to be positioned such that it snags an edge or created crack in the concrete or asphalt or asphalt or the like targeted for demolition and then moves horizontally so as to pry the cracked concrete or asphalt or the like away from remaining areas of concrete or asphalt or the like;
• and
• practicing at least one selection from the consisting of steps f and g wherein f. is the step of utilizing said spear to move pieces of concrete or asphalt or the like and g. is the step of utilizing said pry hook to move pieces of concrete or asphalt or the like.
