Abstract: A hammer mounting apparatus includes a main frame having a front face and a rear face. A slide assembly is connected to the front face of the main frame. The slide assembly includes two elongated guides having an upper and lower end, stops, two elongated followers shorter in length than the guides and a slide. Each guide is bordered on its upper and lower end by a stop, the guides are positioned about the followers and the followers are rigidly connected to the slide. A tool mounting clamp is connected to a face of the slide of the slide assembly. A mounting flange is connected to the rear face of the main frame. Two tool handle mounts are also connected to the main frame.

Abstract: Apparatus for cutting carpet mounted on a supporting surface into elongated strips includes a frame having forward and rearward ends, a handle extending from the frame for guiding and maneuvering the apparatus, a horizontally disposed drive roller, rotatable about a drive roller axis mounted between the forward and rearward frame ends for propelling the apparatus in a forward direction as the drive roller is rotated engaging a plurality of generally radially extending carpet engagement members for non-slippingly engaging the carpet between the drive roller and supporting surface, and a pair of knives spacedly mounted about the forward end of the apparatus for cutting the carpet into an elongated strip as the carpet stripping apparatus is propelled forward.

Abstract: This invention relates to a self-propelled carpet stripping apparatus (10) which comprises a frame (12) and a pair of driven rollers (22) mounted on the frame (12) for rotation about horizontally disposed parallel axes. The rollers (22) are operable for receiving a loose end of a carpet therebetween to pull the carpet up off its supporting surface. As the carpet is pulled by the action of the rollers (22), the apparatus (10) is propelled forward and the carpet cut by knives (24) into an elongated strip.
