Abstract: A mobile articulable cutter apparatus for the cutting and dismemberment of a building structure to permit the environmentally safe removal of such structure from a building site. The apparatus comprises a mobile base support having an articulable lift arm extending therefrom. The arm has a distal end thereon. A guidable cutter head is arranged on the distal end of the lift arm. A fluid jet is nozzle arranged in the cutter head. A pressurizable fluid source is arranged in fluid controlled communication with the nozzle. The nozzle is arranged to be in closely positioned guided travel adjacent the surface of the structure to be cut by a jet of fluid under pressure from the nozzle.

Abstract: A mobile trailer adapted to receive hazardous waste building products such as lead painted windows, doors, door frames, sills and the like. The trailer is lined to prevent escape of toxic air and dust. The trailer contains wood working machinery to plane and cut lead painted wood surfaces from the wood building material fed therein. The lead painted wood scraps are then encapsulated into compact bales, washed and stored within the trailer to await hauling by a waste haul service. The stripped wood once having had its lead paint surfaces cut away, is passed from the trailer.

Abstract: A treatment system for the safe disposal and containment of lead base painted wood comprising a mobile chipper arranged in a housing with an articulable conduit arranged to direct the chips to a container and further to a filtration unit. The chipper unit generates its own vacuum to pressurize the chips down the conduit and keep hazardous debris from escaping into the envirinment.

Abstract: An arrangement for safely covering lead-base paint painted trim surfaces typically found in older homes, by determining and recording the measurement and shape of the lead-base painted trim such as members subject to heavy, wear, tear and abuse, consisting of doorframes, window sills or the like, and cutting and shape forming to the trim's shape, a sheet of 18-gauge sheet aluminum. The shaped metal component is applied to the offending trim after a bead of adhesive has been applied thereto. Typically the metal component is of a U-shaped configuration, so as to cover the exposed 3 sides of the trim's surface.

Abstract: A needle scaling device for environmentally safe removal of material such as lead paint or the like, from difficult to clean surfaces, such as bridges. The needle scaling device includes a plurality of reciprocably movable needles which strike the surface being treated, to chip away the paint. A cowling is disposed about the distal end of the device to enshroud the needles. The cowling has an annular array of bristles disposed on its distal end, to provide a flexible shroud and hence a containment plenum around the needles.

Abstract: An arrangement for safely covering lead-base paint painted trim surfaces typically found in older homes, by determining and recording the measurement and shape of the lead-base paint painted trim such as woodwork consisting of doorframes, window frames of the like, and cutting and shape forming to the trim's shape a sheet of 20-gauge sheet aluminum. The shaped metal component is applied to the offending trim after a bead of adhesive has been applied thereto. Typically the metal component is of a U-shaped configuration, so as to cover the exposed 3 sides of the trim's surface.
