ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a carpet seam finishing tool for smoothing and shaping the carpet at a seam joined with conventional hot glue carpet seaming tape comprising a pair of similar generally rectangular bodies hinged back-to-back having a width of at least about six inches and substantially greater than (four-inch wide) carpet seaming tape, the bottom smooth surface of each said body having longitudinal ridges on each lateral edge forming runners to guide the body along a carpet seam. The bottom surface of the body is preferably slightly convex across its width with air vent holes located to receive hot vapors or moisture from the hot carpet seam which is passes over. Each bottom surface further preferably includes an indentation on the end to allow the body to accommodate greater carpet height over tack strips near a wall. Preferably each body has a longitudinal V-shaped groove of diminishing width as it runs from the front to the center of said bottom surface to secure the carpet edges firmly together and avoid gaps between carpet edges along the seam. The hinged attachment of the tool permits it to first be used in folded position with a short longitudinal extent of contact area and to be unfolded to double the longitudinal contact area when used away from the walls of the room. The top is padded for comfort of the mechanic in riding the tool while operating the glue melting iron in front of it.
