ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (12) for moving carpet rolls is provided which enables positioning the handle (16) to be gripped by the mover at a preselected location. The apparatus handle (16) is connected to a roll engaging member (20) which in one embodiment comprises a tubular shaped device suitable for being inserted into the centrally disposed tube (14) about which the carpet is rolled. Means (26) are provided to assist in preventing the roll engaging member and the carpet roll from becoming disengaged during moving operations. The connection between the handle (16) and the roll engaging member (20) is accomplished by the length of chain (30) in one embodiment. The location at which the handle (16) and/or roll engaging member (20) are joined with the chain can be adjusted thereby adjusting the effective spacing between the handle (16) and the roll engaging member (20) for purposes of positioning the handle at a selected location during movement thereby reducing back strain.
