UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
MICHAEL HENERYSULLYIVAN, OF CARBONDALE, PENNSYLVANIA.
CARPET-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 569,525, dated October 13, 1896.
Application filed October 3, 1895. Serial No. 564,550. (No model.)
To all whoml t may concern:
Beit known that I, MICHAEL HENERY SUL- LIvAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Carbondale, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Carpet-Holder, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to carpet holders or fasteners of that class which are secured to the floor a short distance from the base board and which have engaging prongs or spurs along the edge opposite to or facing the said base-board to receive and secure the carpet.
This invention aims to simplify and cheapen this class of devices and to dispense with extra fastenings for attaching the holder to the floor and to enable lighter material being employed in their manufacture.
The improvement consists of a metal strip having spurs along one edge and having the edges of the spurs recurved to prevent cutting the carpet or other licor-covering, and having points punched from the body of the strip to be driven into the floor, and having ribs or grooves spun, swaged, or otherwise provided along the edges to stiften and strengthen the strip and enable it to withstand the strain to which it will be subjected without buckling or giving way.
For a full understanding of the invention and the advantages attendant thereupon reference is to be had to the subjoined description and the drawings hereto attached, forming a part of this specification.
In the drawings, Figure l is a detail view showing the invention applied. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the holder. Fig. 3 is an edge view thereof. Fig. #L is a cross-section on the line X X of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an end view of the holder.
The same numerals of reference denote corresponding and like parts in all the figures of the drawings, and in the latter l indicates the holder, which is formed of a strip of metal about a foot in length, and having a series of prongs or spurs 2 along one edge, and having points 3 punched or cut from the body of the strip to provide means for attaching thc holder to thc floor.
Grooves or ribs i are provided along the edges of the strip, either by spinning or swaging or in any of the usual ways, for the purpose of strengthening and stiffening the strip and enabling it to be made of comparatively light metal. The points 3 will be provided in sufficient number to secure the holder to the floor in a substantial manner and will project from the nether or rear side of the holder about at right angles, and these points may have any desired shape, and, as shown, their edges extend in parallelism and converge, forming blunt penetrating terminals thereto. These points extend crosswise of the strip in aline parallel with the strain upon the carpet or floor-covering, so as to sustain the strain to which they will be subjected.
In reducing the invention to practice the holders are secured to the iloor 5 of a room or apartment a short distance from the baseboard by driving the points 3 into the floor, and these holders will be spaced apart a proper distance, so as not to have the engaging spurs 2 at the ends of adjacent holders come too close together. The carpet or floorcovering U is drawn over the holder, and its edge portion is caused to engage with the spurs or prongs 2, asindicated most clearly in Fig. l of the drawings.
The prongs or spurs 2 are located at one edge of the strip and are pointed, so as to readily penetrate the carpet or door-covering, and are approximately wedge-shaped in plan elevation and have their outer portions deflected or curved away from the plane of the strip, so as tofacilitate the engagement therewith of the carpet or floorcovering. The opposite edges of the prongs or spurs 2 are curved slightly, as shown at 7 to prevent them cutting or severing the strands of the carpet or floor-covering.
A holder constructed substantially as herein specified can be cheaply manufactured by passing a ribbon ofv metal between companion Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- An article of manufacture, a carpet holder or fastener constructed substantially as here- IOL) 1o between the parallel grooves or ribs and extending transversely of the strip, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I Claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afxed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
v MICHAEL HENERY SULLIVAN.
