The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing a flexible floor covering from a floor. The apparatus has a frame supported on a plurality of castors to allow rolling motion of the frame along the floor. A roller is supported on the frame for rotational motion relative thereto. The roller has an axis of rotation disposed substantially parallel to the floor when the apparatus is in use. A drive assembly is operatively connected to the roller for rotatively driving same. Gripping means in the nature of a plurality of gripping members, are carried on the roller for grippingly engaging a portion of the flexible floor covering. The apparatus further includes a grip releasing means for urging the gripping means to disengage from the portion of the flexible floor covering after the flexible floor covering has been detached from the floor. The grip releasing means is mounted to the frame and disposed adjacent the roller. The grip releasing means is operable to discourage the portion of the flexible floor covering from being wound about the roller. In operation, the gripping members grippingly engage the portion of flexible floor covering and cause it to detach from the floor as the roller rotates about its rotational axis. The grip release means meets the gripping members and functions as a wedge placed between the portion of flexible floor covering and the gripping members thereby causing the portion of flexible floor covering to physically separate from the gripping members.
