Abstract
A carpet mat nameplate/gripping device comprising a bezel cap plate portion having an area recessed below a facing surface for receiving an insert plate, a protuberant short stud boss extending from the opposing side of the bezel cap plate, a base retainer plate portion having a hole pattern extending therethrough for receiving the protuberant short stud boss and said base retainer plate portion further having a plurality of anti-slip carpet hooks extending from a face of the base plate to form a snag having a beveled pointed end and said hook positioned in a symmetrical pattern about a central area of the face of the base plate and such that the pointed ends of each hook are directed radially away from the central area, which teaches a novel nameplate and anti-slip device for floor mats.
Abstract
A carpet removal or stripping method and system (machine) employs a common dolly. The backside of the dolly member has a plurality of teeth. A motorized winching system is coupled to the front side of the dolly member. A dual purpose safety shield covers the teeth during transportation and serves as a protective screen for the user during carpet removal operation of the invention machine. The winching system automates carpet peeling activity with the dolly member lying backside down during operation, and the teeth provide an anchoring effect. A pull bar removably grasps the subject carpet. A cable is coupled between the winching system and the pull bar. The winching system takes up or pulls the cable and hence the pull bar, such that the carpet is peeled away and separated from the subfloor.
Abstract
A portable carpet binding machine comprising a housing defining an interior region, a drive mechanism supported by the housing and at least partially disposed in the interior region, a prime mover operatively coupled to the drive mechanism for providing motive power to the drive mechanism, a sewing assembly driven via the drive mechanism for sewing a strip of material to a piece of carpet. The portable carpet binding machine includes a carpet feeding assembly including a feed driver mechanism and a coacting puller mechanism operating in substantially synchronous movement to linearly feed the piece of carpet relative to the sewing assembly. The feed driver mechanism includes a feed-dog driven via the drive mechanism that intermittently engages the bottom of the piece of carpet to thereby advance the piece of carpet forward. The coacting puller mechanism includes first and second feed rollers driven via the drive mechanism. The first feed roller engages the top of the piece of carpet and the second feed roller engages the bottom of the piece of carpet. The first and second feed rollers pull the piece of carpet forward substantially simultaneously with respect to the advancement by the feed-dog of the feed driver mechanism. |
