Rotational scratch-off card surface remover

Abstract

A rotational remover including a body assembly and a tip drive assembly. The body assembly includes a body front containing a convoluted bearing race, a body back which fastens to the body front and a main spring housed within. The tip drive assembly includes a bearing guide having a threaded barrel at the front end which receives a tip, a center section which receives at least three ball bearings and a spring pivot. The ball bearings are housed in the tip drive assembly rolling in the bearing guide and within the convoluted race formed in the body front assembly. The spring pivot is housed in the body assembly between the main spring and the bearing guide. The depression of the body assembly in a vertical movement actuates the ball bearings within the convoluted bearing race, thereby rotating a tip with a serrated, abrasive surface received in the bearing guide in a rotational movement. The main spring provides resistance for and returns the tip drive assembly to a starting position after the body assembly is vertically depressed.

1 . A rotational remover comprising:
 a body assembly including a main spring;   a tip drive assembly including a tip, a bearing guide having a threaded barrel at the front end which receives the tip, a center section which receives at least three ball bearings and a spring pivot. The ball bearings are housed in the tip drive assembly rolling in the bearing guide and within the convoluted race formed in the body front assembly. The spring pivot is housed in the body assembly between the main spring and the bearing guide, and the depression of the body assembly in a vertical movement actuates the ball bearings within the convoluted bearing race, thereby rotating a tip received in the bearing guide in a rotational movement; and   wherein the main spring provides resistance for and returns the tip drive assembly to a starting position after the body assembly is vertically depressed.   
   
   
       2 . A rotational remover according to  claim 1 , wherein the body assembly is repeatedly depressed to remove more surface area by additional rotations of the tip when the ball bearings are actuated within the convoluted bearing race. 
   
   
       3 . A rotational remover comprising:
 a body assembly including a main spring;   a tip drive assembly including a tip, a bearing guide having a threaded barrel at the front end which receives a tip, a center section which receives at least three ball bearings and a spring pivot. The ball bearings are housed in the tip drive assembly rolling in the bearing guide and within the convoluted race formed in the body front assembly. The spring pivot is housed in the body assembly between the main spring and the bearing guide, and the depression of the body assembly in a vertical movement actuates the ball bearings within the convoluted bearing race, thereby rotating a tip received in the tip holder in a rotational movement.   
   
   
       4 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , further comprising a spring pivot. 
   
   
       5 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , further comprising a bearing guide configured to receive the tip. 
   
   
       6 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein the tip is manufactured from plastic. 
   
   
       7 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein the tip is manufactured from metal. 
   
   
       8 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein formed on the topmost part of the tip is a serrated, abrasive surface. 
   
   
       9 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein the tip is replaceable. 
   
   
       10 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein the body assembly is repeatedly depressed to remove more surface area by additional rotations of the tip when the ball bearings are actuated within the convoluted bearing race. 
   
   
       11 . A rotational remover according to  claim 3 , wherein the main spring provides resistance for and returns the tip drive assembly to a starting position after the body assembly is vertically depressed.
