Abstract
A skirting assembly comprises a skirting board 14 of either wood, plastic or metal material and a backing plate 13 which are secured to the floor 11 and, or wall 10. There is a gap formed between the lower surface of the skirting board and the backing plate sufficiently deep to accommodate the thickest carpet 12. On the lower part of the backing plate there are one or more rows of upturned spikes 15 suitable for the retention of carpet. A finishing strip 16, whose purpose is to conceal the gap left between the top of the carpet and the skirting board, is releasably secured to the skirting board by adhesive. The skirting assembly may be cut, joined or mitred and besides securing carpet it will also accommodate other flexible floor coverings. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Skirting for securing floor carpet
This invention relates to a skirting board having provision for the retention of floor carpet.
Skirtings are incorporated in most buildings which are used for either residential or office accommodation. The fundamental purpose ofthe skirting isto provide a both decorative and protective finishing strip between walls and floors together with their re spective coverings. The traditional construction material employed for skirtings is wood, which is subse quentlyfinished with a decorative coating. Such skirtings fulfil no purpose with regard to the retention of floor carpets.
According to the present invention there is provided a skirting assembly, comprising a skirting board and a backing plate, which is secured to either the wall orfloor or both and has means on the backing plate for releasably securing carpet or other flexible floor coverings.
A specific embodiment ofthe invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which :
Figure ishowsin perspective,theskirting in position.
Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the skirting components.
Referring to the drawing the skirting assembly comprises a skirting board 14 of either wood, plastic or metal material and a backing plate 13. On the lower part of the backing plate are positioned one or more rows of upturned spikes 15 which are set at an angle suitable for the retention of the carpet 12 when it is positioned on these spikes.
The skirting assembly is secured to eitherthewall 10 orfloor 11 or both by, for example, nails, screws, adhesive orsimilar means 17.
Between the lowersurface of the skirting board
and the surface of the backing plate there is formed a
gap sufficiently deep to allow entry to the thickest
carpet. During the fitting of a carpetthe edge of a
carpet isfed intothe gap and secured on thespikes 15. Depending upon the thickness of the carpetfitted there may be a gap remaining between the top ofthe carpet and the bottom of the skirting board. In order
to conceal the gap remaining there is provided a fin
ishing strip 16 of thin material which is releasably
secured to the skirting board by adhesive.
This skirting assembly may be cut, joined and mit
red to negotiate angles in the wall or floor structure
withoutthe need for additional components.
Besides securing carpet the skirting assembly will
accommodate otherflexible floor coverings.
1. A skirting assembly, comprising a skirting
board and a backing plate, which is secured to the
wall or floor or both by nails, screws, adhesive or the
like, and has means on the backing plate for releas
ably securing carpet or other flexible floor covering.
2. A skirting assembly as claimed in Claim 1,
wherein the skirting board consists of a length of wood, plastic or metal material.
3. Askirting assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the means on the backing plate for releasably securing the carpet or otherflexiblefloorcovering is one or more rows of upturned spikes.
4. A skirting assembly as claimed in Claims 2 and 3, wherein there is a gap between the bottom of the skirting board and the backing plate sufficiently wide to enable the edge of any carpet to be inserted into the gap and to be secured on the retai ning means on the backing plate.
5. Askirting assembly as claimed in Claim 4, wherein a finishing strip ofthin material is releasably secured by adhesive to the skirting board in orderto conceal the gap remaining between the skirting board and the carpet.
6. A skirting assembly as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the skirting assembly may be cut, joined, and mitred to negotiate angles in the wall orfloorstructure.
7. A skirting assembly substantially as described hereinbefore with reference to Figures 1 and 2 ofthe accompanying drawings.
Amendments to the claims have been filed, and have the following effect:
(a) Claims 1,3 & 4 above have been deleted or textually amended.
(b) New or textually amended claims have been filed as follows:
1. A skirting assembly, comprising a skirting board and a backing plate, which is secured to the wall orfloor or both by nails, screws, adhesive orthe like, and has upturned spikes on the backing plate for releasably securing carpet or otherflexiblefloor covering.
3. Askirtingassemblyasclaimed in claim 2, wherein there is a gap between the bottom of the skirting board and the backing plate sufficiently wide to enable the edge of any carpet to be inserted into the gap and to be secured on the upturned spikes on the backing plate.
(c) Claims 5,6 & above have been re-numbered as 4,5 & 6 and their appendancies corrected.
