Description
lCHARLES RCKERT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
Letters Patent No. 86,253, dated .Taima/ry 26, 1869.
IMPROVED. CARPET-STRETCHER.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom 'it ma/y concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES RGKERT, 'of the city, county, and State of N ew York, have intented a new and improved Carpet-Stretcher; and l do hereby declare that the following'is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiica tion.
Figure l represents a side view of my improved carpet-stretcher.
Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a new device for stretching carpets while the same are being put down; and
The invention consists in the use of a jointed. lever, which swings on a bifurcated support, and which carries a toothed tool, by means of which the carpet can be grasped. The support is forced into the ground, and then the lever is caused to take hold of the carpet with its teeth, and is then swung downward, whereby the toothed part is moved'forward to stretch the carpet.
A, in the drawing, represents a metal bar, made of wire or other-shaped metal. Its ends are parallel, and project vertically from the main part, which is bent into the form of an acute or other angle, as is clearly shown in fig. 2. The ends of the rodA are pointed, as shown.
G, which has a lat-toothed lower edge, a, as is clearly shown in the drawing.
The lever and arm may be made of wood or other suitable material, and the metal-toothed edge a may be a separate piece, fastened to the arm C, or may form part of the same.
The instrument is applied by forcing the pointed ends of A into the floor, as close as possible to a wall, by then letting the teeth of a enter the carpet, and by then swinging the outer end of the lever down, so as thereby to push the jointedl arm forward, which will stretch the carpet, and carry it toward the wall.
Instead of being one rod, the support A may consist of two separate pieces, pivoted to the lever B.
Having thus described my invention,
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A carpetstretcher, consisting of the rod or support A, which has the pointed ends, and of the lever B and arm O, pivoted to the short arm of said lever B, and having the toothed edge a', substantially as herein shown and described, all made and operating as specified.
CHARLES RGKERT. Witnesses:
FRANK BLOGKLEY, ALEX. F. ROBERTS.
