Description

4w. H.`- CURTIS. Carpet-Stretchers.
Patented Sept. 8,1874.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
WILLIAM H. CURTIS, OF BUCHANAN, MICHIGAN.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARPET-STRETCHERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,848, dated September 8, 1874 application filed June 17, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. CURTIS, of Buchanan, in the county of Berrien and State of Michigan, have invented an Improved Carpet-Stretcher, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to provide a device by .means of which a considerable breadth of carpet may be stretched and held while being tacked to the floor; and it consists in a toothed bar having a lever attached to it by a bail, and provided with a pawl-bail, which engages with a ratchet-bar having a hook at one end to drive into the floor, the wdhole being arranged to operate as more fully herein after set forth.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus as in use. Fig. 2is a bottom perspee.
tive view, 'showing` the bottom of the toothed bar.
In the drawing, Areprcsents the wooden bar, armed on its lower face with teeth a to engage with the carpet. B is alcver, whose and a hook, d, at one end to drive into the oor. b is a pawl-bail, hinged to the middle part of the bar A. l
To stretch a carpet, one end and one side of which are already tacked to place, drive the hook d into the iloor near the base-board, and bring the bar A under the rear end of the hook-bar, dropping the pawl-bail into the back part of the ratchet; then engage the notched plate B of the lever with the ratchet, and push the lever toward the wall, which will draw the toothed bar and the carpet under it toward the wall, until sufficiently stretched, when the latter will be held fast by the engagement of the pawl-bail with the ratchet, until the carpet can be tacked at the edge, repeating the operation and changing the position of the stretcher until the work is complete.
What I claim as my invention, and desire tov secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the toothed bar A, lever B, bails b b', and the bar C, provided with the ratchet c and hook d, substantially as and for the` purpose set forth.
