Abstract
A device for removing self-adhesive labels from a substrate includes a blade portion and a handle portion. The blade has a first normally downwardly facing flat surface for contacting the substrate and a second opposed normally upwardly facing generally convex surface. The first and second surfaces come together along a generally curved periphery at a small angle to define a sharp edge. The blade and handle are preferably of unitary construction and may be fabricated from a self-lubricating plastic material such as acetal resin, thus avoiding the need for a separate source of lubricant.
