Abstract

Apparatus usable in power-operated floor stripping apparatus that includes a frame, a drive carried on the frame, wheels supporting the frame, a handle to guide the frame, and a cutting blade carried by a head which is pivotally mounted to the frame, the apparatus comprising a lightweight rugged connecting element having a first tubular part and a second tubular part, those parts having spaced, parallel axes, the second tubular part pivotally connected to the head. The connecting element includes two parallel and spaced legs extending between the first and second tubular parts and integrally merging with the sides thereof at locations spaced from the opposite ends thereof. First webs on each leg have edges tangent with the tubular parts, and they define planes intersecting thickened lugs on the head, and also eccentrics on a drive shaft. Second webs on the legs intersect the first web at enlarged areas of the legs.
