ABSTRACT:
A seam roller to be used when installing carpeting which, when used, draws the opposed edges of adjacent runs of carpeting together while applying a downward pressure to tightly bond the carpeting to an adhesive layer. The tool comprises a roller mounting plate having at least two pairs of integrally formed opposed legs bent out of the plane of the mounting plate a first of said pair being generally at right angles to the plane of the plate while a second pair is bent at a predetermined acute angle with respect to the plane of the plate. A first roller assembly is journaled for rotation on an axle extending between the first pair of legs while each of the legs in the other pair supports two flat disc-like washers on independent axles in a parallel and spaced-apart relationship to one another. The respective diameters of the spaced-apart washers rotationally supported on the second pair of legs are such that their peripheries lie in a common horizontal plane.
When the above-described tool is drawn along the seam area between two runs of carpeting under which seam area an adhesive has been pre-applied, the skewed disc-like washers urge the two carpet edges together as the first roller forces the seam area downward into the softened adhesive resulting in an almost imperceptible seam between the two carpet runs.
