Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for dismantling a weather strip from the door opening of a discarded automobile. The apparatus comprises a main control body, a working arm pivotally mounted on the main control body, a weather strip remover mounted at the end of the working arm, the weather strip remover pulling the weather strip and detaching it from the body of the automobile, an arm supporter supporting the main control body relative to the door frame of the automobile; and a movable means for transporting the body with the weather strip remover and the working arm to the working area. The weather strip of the door opening is automatically removed from the discarded automobile, thereby reducing cost and labor hours and allowing for recycling of the rubber.
