Abstract
A carpet setter is provided. The carpet setter has a gripping head having a plurality of prongs extending downwardly therefrom wherein the plurality of prongs are adapted for engaging a carpet, at least one handle, and a mechanical system for providing an impact type force to the gripping head, the force being generated within the system by mechanical means.
Claims (13)
1. A carpet setter comprising:
a gripping head having a plurality of prongs extending downwardly therefrom wherein the plurality of prongs are adapted for engaging a carpet;
at least one handle; and a mechanical system for providing an impact type force to the gripping head, the force being generated within the system by mechanical means.
a gripping head having a plurality of prongs extending downwardly therefrom wherein the plurality of prongs are adapted for engaging a carpet;
at least one handle; and a mechanical system for providing an impact type force to the gripping head, the force being generated within the system by mechanical means.
2. The carpet setter according to claim 1 wherein the system comprises:
a fluid cylinder adapted for receiving a fluid;
a slidably movable piston within the fluid cylinder, the slidable movement within the fluid cylinder in reaction the provision of the fluid to the fluid cylinder;
a shaft in mechanical communication with the gripping head wherein the shaft receives the impact force from the piston; and a fluid provision system, the fluid provision system, when operating in conjunction with the cylinder, provides the impact type force to the gripping head.
a fluid cylinder adapted for receiving a fluid;
a slidably movable piston within the fluid cylinder, the slidable movement within the fluid cylinder in reaction the provision of the fluid to the fluid cylinder;
a shaft in mechanical communication with the gripping head wherein the shaft receives the impact force from the piston; and a fluid provision system, the fluid provision system, when operating in conjunction with the cylinder, provides the impact type force to the gripping head.
3. The carpet setter according to claim 2 wherein the carpet setter further comprises:
a housing having a forward end and a rearward end;
a sleeve affixed to the forward end of the housing and wherein the shaft is slidably moveable within the sleeve;
a travel stop attached to the shaft and being adapted to contact the sleeve and thereby determine a forward limit to the motion of the shaft; and at least one spring adapted to slidably move the piston from the forward limit to a rearward position.
a housing having a forward end and a rearward end;
a sleeve affixed to the forward end of the housing and wherein the shaft is slidably moveable within the sleeve;
a travel stop attached to the shaft and being adapted to contact the sleeve and thereby determine a forward limit to the motion of the shaft; and at least one spring adapted to slidably move the piston from the forward limit to a rearward position.
4. The carpet setter according to claim 2 wherein the carpet setter further comprises a fluid supply system appropriate for the provision of the fluid to the fluid cylinder, the fluid supply system comprising:
a first fluid conduit for supplying fluid;
a switch appropriate for controlling the provision of fluid to the fluid cylinder and the switch receives fluid from the first fluid conduit; and a second fluid conduit for the provision of fluid from the switch to the fluid cylinder.
a first fluid conduit for supplying fluid;
a switch appropriate for controlling the provision of fluid to the fluid cylinder and the switch receives fluid from the first fluid conduit; and a second fluid conduit for the provision of fluid from the switch to the fluid cylinder.
5. The carpet setter according to claim 2 further comprising;
a first handle adapted for engagement by a first hand of an operator of the carpet setter;
a trigger integrally attached to the first handle; and a second handle adapted for engagement by a second hand of an operator of the carpet setter.
a first handle adapted for engagement by a first hand of an operator of the carpet setter;
a trigger integrally attached to the first handle; and a second handle adapted for engagement by a second hand of an operator of the carpet setter.
6. The carpet setter according to claim 2 wherein the fluid is air.
7. The carpet setter according to claim 3 wherein the carpet setter further comprises:
a lower surface of the housing; and a plurality of prongs affixed to the lower surface proximal to the rearward end of the housing.
a lower surface of the housing; and a plurality of prongs affixed to the lower surface proximal to the rearward end of the housing.
8. The carpet setter according to claim 5 wherein the switch and the handle are arranged such that the switch and handle are adapted for operation by a single hand of an operator.
9. A method of setting a carpet with a carpet setter, the method comprising the steps of:
aligning the carpet setter such that a plurality of prongs of a gripping head comprised by the carpet setter are aligned appropriately for engaging the carpet;
engaging the carpet with the plurality of teeth;
providing a supply of fluid to a fluid cylinder of the carpet setter to thereby slidably move a piston contained within the cylinder; and communicating the sliding movement of the piston to the plurality of teeth such that the carpet is stretched.
aligning the carpet setter such that a plurality of prongs of a gripping head comprised by the carpet setter are aligned appropriately for engaging the carpet;
engaging the carpet with the plurality of teeth;
providing a supply of fluid to a fluid cylinder of the carpet setter to thereby slidably move a piston contained within the cylinder; and communicating the sliding movement of the piston to the plurality of teeth such that the carpet is stretched.
10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the carpet setter is aligned such that the lower surface thereof is substantially parallel to a plane defined by the carpet to be set and a plurality of prongs on the lower surface of the carpet setter engage the carpet to be set.
11. The method according to claim 9, wherein the carpet setter is aligned such that the lower surface thereof is at an angle to the carpet to be set.
12. The method according to any of claims 9 to 11 wherein the carpet setter is aligned such that a front most edge of the gripping head is spaced within about several inches from a wall adjacent to which the carpet is being set.
13. The method according to claim 9 wherein the fluid is air.
