Abstract

A tool for removing a skirting board is provided, which includes a connection plate, an engagement plate, and a prying plate; the engagement plate extends downward from a front end of the connection plate and continues to extend forward to an upper end of the prying plate so as to form an inner bending area; the connection plate is provided with a striking part that cooperates with a hammer to knock the prying plate downward into a gap between the skirting board and a wall surface; a handle is fixed at a rear end of the connection plate; an abutting plate is provided above the prying plate, a rotating structure is provided between the abutting plate and the engagement plate, and the rotating structure is provided in the inner bending area.

Claims (20)

1. A tool for removing a skirting board, configured to pry open the skirting board located at a bottom of a wall surface, wherein the tool comprises:

a prying plate main body, which comprises a connection plate, an engagement plate, and a prying plate; the engagement plate extends downward from a front end of the connection plate and continues to extend forward to an upper end of the prying plate so as to form an inner bending area; wherein an extension direction of the connection plate is a first direction, an extension direction of the prying plate is a second direction, the first direction and the second direction form an angle with each other; the connection plate is provided with a striking part that cooperates with a hammer so as to knock the prying plate downward into a gap between the skirting board and the wall surface;

a handle, fixed at a rear end of the connection plate;

an abutting plate, provided above the prying plate, there is a rotating structure between the abutting plate and the engagement plate, and the rotating structure is provided in the inner bending area;

wherein the tool has a working state and a non-working state; when in the working state, the abutting plate abuts against the wall surface, and the prying plate is rotated backwards through the rotating structure and prying open the skirting board; when in the non-working state, a front end of the abutting plate and a front end of the prying plate are coplanar;

wherein the rotating structure comprises:

a first shaft sleeve, which is fixed at one side of the inner bending area of the engagement plate;

a third shaft sleeve, which is fixed at a rear side of the abutting plate;

a first shaft rod, which is rotatably connected inside the first shaft sleeve and the third shaft sleeve;

wherein the striking part is provided at the front end of the connection plate;

wherein when in the non-working state, a lower end of the abutting plate abuts against the upper end of the prying plate.

2. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the prying plate is provided with a plug-in end configured to be inserted into the gap between the skirting board and the wall surface, and the plug-in end is in a wedge shape.

3. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 1 , wherein left and right sides of an upper end of the abutting plate are provided with two bending portions extending backward, and a yielding port is provided between the two bending portions.

4. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 3 , further comprising a shovel blade, which is rotatably installed above the connection plate; an end of the shovel blade extends to a front end of the prying plate main body and being in a shoveling state when the shovel blade is rotated forward; the shovel blade is attached to an upper end of the connection plate and being in a storage state when the shovel blade is rotated backward.

5. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 4 , wherein the upper end of the connection plate is provided with a second shaft sleeve, one end of the shovel blade is provided with at least one sleeve block; the at least one sleeve block is provided with a strip-shaped hole, and the strip-shaped hole extends along an extension direction of the shovel blade;

wherein the second shaft sleeve is rotatably provided with a second shaft rod, which passes through the strip-shaped hole;

a tension spring is provided between the shovel blade and the second shaft rod.

6. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 5 , wherein upper and lower sides of the shovel blade are respectively provided with a pull-up block and a pull-down block; the connection plate is provided with a first bayonet and a second bayonet; the second bayonet is located behind the first bayonet;

when in the storage state, the pull-down block is clamped in the first bayonet, and in the shoveling state, the pull-up block is clamped in the second bayonet.

7. The tool for removing the skirting board according to claim 6 , wherein the connection plate is provided with a downward concave portion, the concave portion is located behind the striking part; a socket block and the second shaft sleeve are both provided above the concave portion.
