Application tiled July 1G, 155ml. Serial No. m.
To all wwm it mcy concern.'
Be it known that l, ANTON DANEK, a resident ol Chicago, in the county of Cook and Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rug Holders or Stiieners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The invention relates to devices for holding the edges or corners 'of a rug in flat position.
In rugs, e. g., oriental ru lfs,tlie Woven fabric is of such a character t at its corners or edges Will curl in lieu of remaining lot on a floor. l
lt has heretofore been proposede to sew strips or devices on the rug to prevent the corners thereof from curling. An objection incident to these sti'lening devices Which were seWed on the rug Wes that the rug could not be rolled up Without detacliing the stii`iening devices and furthermore it is objectionable in inenting or cleaning e rug to do so when the metallic stifening device 1s secured thereto.
The invention designs lto overcome these objections to such devices and to provide a holding-device Whichis provided with teeth or means for detachably engaging the mg so that each holder may be placed at any portion of the rug which has a tendency to curl. which may be quickly detached when it is desired to cleen the rug and which, when in position, will not cause the overlying portions of the rug to project so that 1t will be* come Worn.
With these objects in view, the invention consists in the several novel features hereinafter set forth and more particularly' defined by claim at the conclusion lie-reci.
l In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective ola rug having several of the improved hold ing-devices applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a per` spective ol' one of the stiffening-devices. Fig. 3 is e. section illustrating the holding-device comiected to the under side of a rug. Fig. 4 is a perspective oi a modiiied forno of the device.
The holding-device is formed el' a narrow strikp of flat thin spring-metal, such as steel, su ciently rigid to hold a portion of a rug overlying it, taut. The strip a is formed of a thin flot strip of metal having oints a and e2 at its ends which extend su stantially in the plone of the body of the strip and are adapted to be inserted into the rug to secure the strip on the under side thereof. The teeth on the strip are outwardly dpointing so that the device may be connecte to and detached from the under side of the rug b flexing to force the points into or out of t e rug and so that when the points at the opposite ends of the strip lieve been inserted into the rug, the strip will be detachably secured to the rug and Will hold the edge-portion of the rug from curling. The teeth on the o pnsite ends of the strip ore o positel pointe so the stri will be held in t 1e rug y the inherent stillness of the strip.
To attach the strip it will be -ilexed as indicated in dotted lines Fie. 3, and its points inserted into the ru and` will flatten itself ande held in the rug as indicated in full lines in said gure, and electively secure the edge-portion of ythe rug so it will not curl. By employing a lat strip of spring or resilient metal, the device Wil be held under the rug 'end Will embeditself in the rug Without causing any substantial projection of the rugliliely to cause it to become Worn.
An important advantage of the improved stiilening device is that it may be readily and quickly applied. to Whatever portion of the rug may have a tendency to curl. Furthermore, alter the strip has been applied to one portion of the rug for a period, it may be aplied to some other portion, if the former has iiecome so that it will inherently remain liet.
So also, the fastenin device maybe detached from the rug W enthe latteris to be when released, it
cleaned or when it may be desired to roll up y the rug. By employing teeth extendine' outwardly or longitudinally of the strip and substantially in the plane of the strip, the teeth-` Will not pass through the 'fabric of the rug and will be invisible.
It .is desirable Where the edge or corner of the rug is thinly Woven to employ two teeth as shown .at a to cause the rug to be more firmly held by the strip.
I Iny the modification illustrated in Fig. 4, positely extending teeth dis osed to engae both ends of the stiening strip are provided and for'removably securing oth ends o t e 10 with a pair of teeth a. strip in a rug.
Havm thus described the invention, what 5 I claim ai new and desire to secure by Letf ANTON D ANEK' ters Patent, is:v Witnesses: A holdinmdevice for ru s formed of a thin FRED GERLACH, strip of resiient metal am? provided With op- LEONE S. RUSSELL.
