ABSTRACT:
A shiftable, roller-type, high mechanical advantage carpet device (10) is provided to facilitate the rapid and firm attachment of carpeting (44) to upstanding tack stripping (52) typically provided adjacent a baseboard (50). The device (10) preferably includes an integral metallic frame (12) presenting an obliquely oriented central handle section (26) providing ample clearance for use of the device (10) adjacent a wall or baseboard (50). The device (10) further includes a pair of spaced, fore and aft wheel assemblies (14, 16) rotatably secured to the frame (12) and adapted to contact the upper surface of carpeting (44) above the tack stripping (52). Each wheel assembly (14, 16) includes three spaced apart wheel elements (28-32, 28a-32a) which are arranged for straddling respective tack rows (54, 56) of the tack stripping (52); in this fashion, as the device (10) is shifted along the carpet margin, the wheel elements (28-32, 28a-32a) act to press the carpeting (44) into firm interengagement with the tack rows (54, 56).
