EDGE-RETAINER FUR CARPETS AND THE LIKE.
arenas.
' ain, residinga-t London, England, have in vented new and useful Improvements in Edge-Retainers for Carpets and the Like, of which the followingis a specification.
When loose carpets and rugs are in use it frequently happens that one of the edges curls upward. 'lhis edge is then sometimes nailed down, but if the carpet.- or rug should be laidon a stone or tiled floor, it is impossible to employ nails. Such-loose or upturned edges have been retained in position by broad strips of lead, but these latter get dis-v placed and are unsightly:
The object of the presentinvention is to provide an improved attachable and detachable device which when lapplied to a new carpet or rug will prevent: the edges curling up, and which when applied to a carpet having curled up edges will securely hold said edges in a flat condition; against the floor without obscuring to any great extent the upper surface of the carpet.-
Various methods of carrying the invention into elfe'et are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a plan of the device made of thin sheet material. and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of the device, also made of sheet 'ntaterial but slightly modified from thearticle shown in Figs. l and Fig.- 4 is a plan and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the dtwice made of wire. Fig. 6 is a plan and l ig. T is a side elevation of a modification specially intended for preventing carpets slipping on a polished tloor,
ln (fi2ti" "-'l11g theinvcnt-ion into effect as shown in Fig; and 2, l employ a narrow strip a of suitable material, preferably spring steel or brass, and l turn over one end 7) of said narrow strip so that it 'will pass around the edge ofthe carpet c and be in close contact with the same throughout its length, as shown in dotted lines in. Fig. and press upon or grip/ the upper surf: :e thereof. The loose end of the turned over portion 6 is preferably turned slightly down at 7) so that in use it presses into the upper surface of the carpet, as shown at Fig. 2 and does not present any obstruction.
According to the present invention the main portion a of the strip is preferably.
slightly bent downwardtoward each end from a noint (2 Situated about one third of Specification of Iietters latent.

its length from the end which is turned over. This construction raises the carpet.- about an eighth of an inch on a line about one and a half inches from the edge of the carpet but holds the extreme edge of the carpetin contact with the floor, not only at those points where the device placed in position but interlnediate of such devices.
In order to prevent the strips a being moved away from the carpet by eonst ant use, a small inclined tooth a may be pressed up out of the body of the strip a, which will on ter the underside of the carpet and effectually prevent the strip moving so long as it is lying flat on the floor. The overturned ends which are seen on top of the carpet may be suitably ornamented.
In the modification. shown at Fig. 3 the bent ever end 7) is cut away at 6 merely leaving two parallel strips of metal which are hardly seen as they sink into the upper surface of the carpet or are pressed into the end from the point (1 The device may be made from a single length of wire shown in Figs. 4% and The wire is bent at its center to form a loop B to rest on the surface of the carpet. The
wire passes downward from the loop and forward in two parallel portions A, A, to form the main portion of the device and is returned, the returned portions being con nected at their ends and being bent up at A} to form a tooth which enters the under surface of the carpet. The two parallel por tions A, A; are bent downward toward each end from the point (1'.
In the modification shown at vFigs. t3 and 7, the main portion 0, is not narrow as shown in Figs. 1 to l but is of greater width relative to its length and is shown as a circular portion (1, which is covered on its underside with a sheet of india rubber (Z. This latter does not readily slip on a polished floor. I prefer to employ such a wide or broad por.- tion a. as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, or some other broad shaped portion whemconstructing the device with the object of preventing the carpet slipping as well aspreventing the edges curling, as. such abroad portion provides a larger surface for the india-rubber than a narrow strip. The narrow strips (0, shown in Figs. 1 2 and 3, may however be provided on their under-sides with sheet rubber or othersuitable gripping material,
either to pre'yeiit them slipping or to prevent as' shown.
I pets and the like in a flat condition, comprisward each end, and it turned over portion fitting closely throughout its length upon the top of the carpet, substantially as herein shown and described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
