gasket il. A slight pressure upon the handles l0 and ll to move the jaws toward each other, gently iorces the wedges under the cover A to permit oli the admittance of air beneath the cover to facilitate its removal. Each ofthe jaws 13 is provided at spaced points with lugs 15 which lie in a plane above the extensions M, the lugs 15 of the respective jaws engaging the cover `A at diametrically opposite points to Jfacilitate the removal of the cover after the extensions 14: have been wedged under the lower,edge ot the cover.
While I have shown andV described what I consider the preferred embodiment of the invention, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself in this connection and that such changes may be resorted to tance of air to the cover for the purpose specified.
