Abstract
A carpet pulling apparatus includes a base including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface. The bottom surface includes a plurality of spikes. A winch is attached to the top surface of the base. A cable extends from a first end to a second end. The first end is received by the winch. A clamp is attached to the second end of the cable. A diverter is configured to receive the cable at a location between the first end and the second end and divert a direction of extension of the cable. The diverter is capable of being moved relative to the base.
Description
- During a carpet removal job, it can be time-consuming and laborious for a human to remove carpet without the aid of tools or machinery. Carpets are often secured to a flooring via some sort of adhesive, for example, glue. To separate and remove the carpet from the floor, a bond created by the adhesive must be broken. A winch may be used to pull back the carpet, thus breaking the bond and separating the carpet from the floor.
- A winch, cable and clamp connection is used to pull carpet as an alternative to humans pulling carpet by hand. By using this winch, cable and clamp connection, the physical motion of pulling the carpet, and, thus, breaking the bond between the carpet and the flooring, is done by the winch as opposed to the human. There may be a variety of obstructions in a room, for example, support beams, pipes, etc., which may interfere with a direction of extension of the cable from the winch to the clamp. This interference may prohibit the carpet from being pulled in a straight line. Therefore, a movable diverting mechanism may be used to divert the direction in which the cable is pulling the carpet. This allows the position of the winch to be maintained, while the diverting mechanism is relocated to avoid the obstruction, which increases the speed and efficiency of the carpet removal job.

Alternatively, theclamp 30 may move between the unlocked position and the locked position in any suitable manner. Thesecond clamp 66 may move between the unlocked position and the locked position in a substantially similar manner to, or different than how theclamp 30 moves between the unlocked position and the locked position. Theclamp 30 and thesecond clamp 66 may move between the unlocked position and the locked position independently of each other. - As set forth above, the
diverter 36 is configured to receive thecable 22 at a location between thefirst end 24 and thesecond end 26 and divert the direction ofextension 28 of thecable 22. Thediverter 36 may have a generally rectangular shape, as shown inFIG. 1 . Alternatively, thediverter 36 may have any suitable shape. Thediverter 36 may include a divertingpulley 38 configured to receive thecable 22. For example, the divertingpulley 38 may divert the direction ofextension 28 of thecable 22. The divertingpulley 38 may divert the direction ofextension 28 of thecable 22 by any suitable magnitude, for example, by 90 degrees as shown inFIG. 1 . The divertingpulley 38 may rotate about arod 64. Therod 64 may be generally vertical, and may be fixed, i.e., unable to rotate, to thediverter 36. The divertingpulley 38 may be plastic, metal, or any other suitable material. - The
diverter 36 may include atop surface 40 and abottom surface 42 opposite thetop surface 40. Thetop surface 40 of thediverter 36 may be capable of receiving anoperator 68, as shown inFIG. 1 . Thetop surface 40 and thebottom surface 42 may be generally flat, thus, allowing theoperator 68 to, for example, stand, kneel, etc., on thetop surface 40. Alternatively, thetop surface 40 may be configured in any suitable manner. - The diverting
pulley 38 may attach to thetop surface 40. For example, therod 64 may attach to thetop surface 40. Alternatively, the divertingpulley 38 may be attached to thetop surface 40 in any suitable manner. - The
bottom surface 42 may include a plurality ofspikes 44. Thespikes 44 may be, for example, nails, screws, teeth, etc. Thespikes 18 may be equally spaced from each other, randomly spaced from each other, or have any other suitable configuration. Thebottom surface 42 may be generally flat. Thebottom surface 42 and thespikes 44 of thediverter 36 may be configured similarly to thebottom surface 16 and thespikes 18 of thebase 12. Alternatively, thebottom surface 42 and thespikes 44 may be configured in any suitable manner. - The
diverter 36 is capable of being moved relative to thebase 12, i.e., thediverter 36 is not fixed to afloor 72. For example, there may be a distance between the base 12 and thediverter 36 along thefloor 72. The distance between the base 12 and thediverter 36 along thefloor 72 may be increased or decreased by physically moving thediverter 36. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , thebase 12 may include afirst latching mechanism 46 and thediverter 36 may include asecond latching mechanism 48. Thefirst latching mechanism 46 and thesecond latching mechanism 48 may be engageable with each other. When thefirst latching mechanism 46 and thesecond latching mechanism 48 are engaged with each other, thebase 12 and thediverter 36 may be connected to each other. For example, thebottom surface 16 of the base 12 may abut thebottom surface 42 of thediverter 36. Another set of latching mechanisms may be disposed on sides of thebase 12 anddiverter 36 opposite the sides of thefirst latching mechanism 46 andsecond latching mechanism 48. Ahandle 82 may be attached to either the base 12 or thediverter 36. Thehandle 82 may be configured to be gripped by theoperator 68. - In light of the foregoing, the operation of the
carpet pulling apparatus 10 will now be described. Acarpet 84 may be cut to create the strip ofcarpet 70. The base 12 may be set down on thecarpet 84. Thespikes 18 of the base 12 may grip thecarpet 84, i.e., thespikes 18 may prohibit lateral movement of the base 12 with respect to thecarpet 84. Thediverter 36 may be set down on thecarpet 84. For example, if there is an obstacle in the way, thediverter 36 may be positioned such that thecarpet pulling apparatus 10 may pull the strip ofcarpet 70 without having to move thebase 12. Thespikes 44 of thediverter 36 may grip thecarpet 84, i.e., thespikes 44 may prohibit lateral movement of thediverter 36 with respect to thecarpet 84. - The
second end 26 of thecable 22 may be extended away from thebase 12 and towards thediverter 36. Thecable 22 may engage and abut the divertingpulley 38, and thesecond end 26 of thecable 22 may extend towards the strip ofcarpet 70. Theclamp 30 may be moved to the unlocked position. The grippingmechanism 32 of theclamp 30 may then be aligned with the strip ofcarpet 70. Theclamp 30 may then be moved to the locked position. The grippingmechanism 32 of theclamp 30 may engage or grip the strip ofcarpet 70. - The
winch 20 may be powered on. For example, if thewinch 20 is electrical, the winch may be plugged into an electrical outlet and turned on via a button. Thewinch 20 may then be turned to a winding mode in which the motor rotates the drum, and thefirst end 24 of thecable 22 wraps around the drum. In the winding mode, thecable 22 pulls the strip ofcarpet 70 towards thediverter 36 and separates any bonding (e.g., glue) between the strip ofcarpet 70 and thefloor 72. - As another example, as shown in
FIG. 5 , thecarpet 84 may be cut into two parallel strips ofcarpet 70. The base 12 may be set down on thecarpet 84. Thespikes 18 of the base 12 may grip thecarpet 84, i.e., thespikes 18 may prohibit lateral movement of the base 12 with respect to thecarpet 84. - The
second end 26 of thecable 22 may be extended away from thebase 12 and towards the strips ofcarpet 70. Thepulley 56 may be attached to thesecond end 26 of thecable 22. Thesecond cable 58 may engage thepulley 56. Theclamp 30 and thesecond clamp 66 may each attach to one of the strips ofcarpet 70, in a similar manner as described above. When the winch is turned to the winding mode, thefirst end 24 of thecable 22 wraps around the drum and thesecond end 26 of thecable 22 moves towards thebase 12. - The
pulley 56 pulls on the first and second ends 60, 62 of thesecond cable 58, and, consequently, pulls on theclamp 30 and thesecond clamp 66. Thesecond cable 58 may be engaged with thepulley 56 at a location between thefirst end 60 and thesecond end 62, and a distance from thepulley 56 to theclamp 30 may not be equal to a distance from thepulley 56 to thesecond clamp 66. This may be, for example, because a bonding strength between the strip ofcarpet 70 theclamp 30 is attached to and thefloor 72 is stronger or weaker than a bonding strength between the strip ofcarpet 70 thesecond clamp 66 is attached to and thefloor 72. - The
diverter 36 may be introduced to receive thecable 22 at a location between thefirst end 24 and thesecond end 26 and to divert the direction ofextension 28. The operation of thediverter 36 may operate in a similar manner as described above. - When the
carpet pulling apparatus 10 needs to be transported, thefirst latching mechanism 46 and thesecond latching mechanism 48 may be engaged with each other and theoperator 68 may pick up the carpet pulling apparatus by thehandle 82. - The disclosure has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Many modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible in light of the above teachings, and the disclosure may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
