Patent 9415495 was granted and assigned to Marquette University on August, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Disclosed is a novel nail removing tool that requires lower force to remove an embedded nail from a substrate than nail remover tools currently in use via use of a sliding fulcrum. The disclosed nail remover tool also minimizes damage to the substrate as the nail is being removed from the substrate via use of a dimple for facilitating access of the tool to a nail head.
