UNITED STATES PATE-NTv OFFICE.
G. S. GREENLEAF AND CYRUS BUCKLAND, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.
CARPET-STRETCHER.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 31,383, dated February 12, 1861.
the letters thereon, making part of this' specification.
Of the said drawings Figure 1 shows a side elevation of our improved carpet stretcher. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section showing the plan of extension or adjustment.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the drawings.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A is a block which is provided with a roughened surface on its underside at (a) which may be a piece of common cotton or woolen cord or other similar material which will grasp and hold the carpet.
B is a bar which is hinged at (Zi) to the block A at one end while the other is hinged at (c) to the bar C. This bar C is strapped to another D at (e e) in such a manner as to slide freely one within the other for the purpose of adjusting the apparatus to the length or width of the room as shown in Figs. l and 3. The bar D is hinged to another bar E at (f) which is provided with a covering of leather or similar substance at (-g) to prevent marring the wall of the room H.
F is a bar, hinged to the bar B, and provided with a series of ratchet teethwhich catch upon the end of the bar C at (d) to lock the bars and hold the carpet in place while securing the same to the iioor.
In the face of the bar C there is a series of ratchet teeth (i z') while the bar D is provided with a pawl G, (to t these teeth) which has its fulcrum at (la) and is kept in place by a spring and is also provided with a handle to operate the said pawl all of which is plainly shown in Fig. 3.
Operation: The operator adjusts stretcher to the length or width of the room and places the end (g) against the wall H (one side or end of the carpet having previously been secured to the floor) and lifts the bars C, B and D to the position shown in Fig. l, the rough surface resting on the carpet I, and by pressing down the bars the block A carries the carpet to the proper position next the wall when the ratchet lever is pressed upon the point (d) which securely holds the carpet until it is secured to the floor, when the apparatus is moved along a sufficient distance for a fresh holdv upon the carpet.
Having thus described our invention we `will state what we claim and desire to se- J. C. WooDwoR'rH.
