GEORGE G. NOYES, OF 'WORCESTER MASSACHUSETTS.
CARPET-FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 25,519, dated September 20, 1859.
T o all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE G. NoYEs, of lVOi'cester, in the county of Torcesterand State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Carpet-Fastening for Securing Carpets to Floors; and I do hereby de clare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1, is a side view of my invention showing the way in which it is applied to the Hoor. F ig. 2, is a side view of the same, secured to the floor and a carpet attached to it. Fig.` 3, is a detached perspective view of the same. Fig. 4, is a bottom view ofthe same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention consists in having a hook at the outer end of a small metal bar, the opposite or inner end being provided with a knife-edge and the bottom of the bar near its inner end provided with spurs, substantially as hereinafter fully shown and de.
scribed, whereby the bar may be readily and securely adjusted to the floor without a permanent attachment and consequently readily detached, the device therefore admitting of the ready adjustment of the carpet to the floor and its ready detachment therefrom when necessary.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention I will proceed to describe it.
A, represents a short metal bar which laterally may be of slightly taper form. This bar has a hook B, at its inner and smaller end, said hook curving inward or toward the outer end of the bar, as shown clearly in Figs. l, 2 and 3. The outer end of the bar A, has a sharp knife-edge a, which is formed by rounding upward the bottom of the bar at its inner end, as shown at b, and forming a slightly inclined recess c, transversely in its upper surface at said. inner end. The bottom of the bar A, has
two spurs (Z, d, the back sides of which are inclined and the front sides at right angles with the bottom of the bar A, as shown clearly in Figs. l and 2. This bar A, with its hook, outer knife-edge and spurs constitute my invention, and it is applied in the following way Any proper number of fast-enings are used according to the distances at which they are to be placed apart. The bars A, are slightly inclined, the inner ends being elevated and the inner ends are tapped by a hammer so as to drive the knifeedges a, at the outer ends of the bars A, into the base-board C, see Fig. l. The bars A, are then pressed down and the spurs (Z, CZ, forced into the floor D, as shown in Fig. 2. The carpet E, then has its edges fastened on the hooks B, and the tension of the carpet prevents the inner ends of the bars from rising, the knife-edges a, at the outer ends of the bars A, prevent the outer parts of the bars from rising while t-he spurs (l, d, prevent the carpet from drawing the fastenings horizontally from their proper position.
From the above description it will be seen that the bars A, are not secured to the floor by any permanent or positive fastening and 'consequently the bars and carpet may be readily secured to the flooring and removed, the bars A becoming detached by simply drawing upward their inner ends, the tension of the carpet preventing the casual using of the inner ends of the bars.
The device is extremely simple and efficient and may be manufactured of the best material at a tritling cost.
Having thus described my invention what I claim new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,
The bar A, provided with the hooks B, knife-edge a, and spurs d, substantially as shown, so that it may be readily secured to and detached from the base-board and Hoor for the purpose set forth.
