ABSTRACT

A fastener extractor 1 for extracting multiple fasteners 3 from a material 2
to which the fasteners are affixed. The fastener extractor 1 includes a clamp
5 with a pair of mutually opposing clamping members 6a, 6b. The clamping
members 6a, 6b reciprocate between open and closed positions. Each clamping
member 6a, 6b has a fastener-engaging surface 7a, 7b and is elongate in a
direction transverse to the clamping force. A powered actuator 8 moves the
clamping members together to the closed position, thereby moving the
fastener-engaging surfaces 7a, 7b to engage with the fasteners 3 located
therebetween and apply a clamping force thereto. A powered separator 9a, 8b
provides relative movement of the material 2 and clamping members 6a, 6b to
thereby remove the fasteners 3 from the material 2.
