Abstract: An assembly designed to strip carpet or like floor covering from the surface of a floor to which it is directly adhered as by adhesive or the like wherein a gripping jaw or like gripping structure is affixed to a carpet portion to be stripped and interconnected to an anchored driving assembly in the form of a winch and interconnecting cable. Activation of the winch causes a pulling force exerted on the gripping structure and steadily pulls and thereby strips the carpet from the surface to which it was adhered. One or more supplementary anchor assemblies may be secured between the driving assembly and the gripping structure so as to vary and determine the direction of pull of the gripping structure and carpet portion secured thereto relative to the driving assembly.
