Introduction
RESUME
Due to prolonged and demanding physical effort that requires manual removal of ceramic tiles, cements and
glues, we have developed a tool allowing the operator to have a better posture and this for all phases and
materials to be removed.
ERGONOMICS
An ergonomic tool for removing ceramic floor covering whose design focuses on reducing physical effort and
prevention of professional injuries to the operator.
Thanks to its geometry allowing a wide variation of angles of attack on the various coatings to remove and its
minimum height of the handles, the tile breaker tool provides a comfortable position to the operator.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The system consists of a percussion tool, system of positioning and adjustment of angles, handle with a switch
and control knobs, folding column and fork, wheels and chisels 1'', 2'' and 3''.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The electric actuator allows the positioning of the tool to the different necessary angles for the work to be done.
On the opposite side of the actuator, we have added a graduated sticker and needle showing the degrees of the
tool to the operator. For example, an angle of + or – 30 degrees is used for the removal of ceramic tiles rather
than an angle of 70 degrees used to remove the grout. This rule then becomes a reference point for the operator.
The electric actuator is connected to a control Up & Down integrated in the handle which allows the safe
positioning of the tool without manual effort.
