Description

UNITED STATES GEORGE GRARDIN, OF GALION,
OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARPET-FASTENERSt Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,054, dated February 3, 1874; application iled November 15, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE GRARDIN, of Galion, in the county of Crawford and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Carpet-Fastening, of which the following is a specification In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a side elevation of my improved carpet-fastening device, and Fig-..2 is a top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the drawing, A represents the links of suitable wire, which are connected, forming a continuous cha-in. Each link is bent at one end in a downward or vertical direction into the shape of a ring, while the other end is passed through the ring end of the adjoining link, and bent first into a horizontal loop and then in a downward-extendin g direction ,ending in a sharp point. The end links are provided in the place of the outer ring or loop ends with sharp points, so that the beginning and end ofthe series of links, as well a-s the intermediate points of each link, maybe driven through the carpet into the iloor, and therebyT firmly fastened therewith. The chain-link fastener may be of such length as to extend around the outward border of the carpet, and hold the carpet securely fixed on the floor Without being pierced by so many holes in the common tacking. The body or bar of each link presses on the border part of the carpet like a band or seam, distributingthe strain on the carpet evenlyT along the border, while the easy manner of detaching the links from the floor allows a rapid taking up and replacing of the carpet for cleaning or other purposes. The carpet and the floor is thereby less injured, and the connected links may be used repeatedly without difficulty, forming thus a very convenient carpet-fastening.
In case of lire, the carpet-fastening may be taken up in an instant, and the carpet be taken up and saved in many cases.
Having thus described my invention,Iclai1n as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent-- A carpet-fastener consisting of a single chain, each link A provided with one or more 4sharpened points that hold it and the carpet to the floor, as set forth.
GEORGE GERARDIN.
