ABSTRACT:
A plurality or kit of brace assemblies for a carpet stretcher of the type having a carpet gripping head supported by a plurality of elongated telescoping tubular sections that are adjustable to vary the effective length of the head from a fixed support. Three interchangeable brace assemblies are provided, each of which may be substituted by the installer for the standard wall engaging foot on the end telescopic section. Each of the braces is adapted to fit around a fixed discrete vertical support commonly found in areas where carpets are installed such as support posts. All the brace assemblies include a "U" shaped retainer and a tubular base. The largest of these brace assemblies includes a U-shaped arcuate retainer that is adapted to fit around and grasp one of the cylindrical support posts in the carpet installation area. This retainer has a non-pivotal connection to a base that snaps in the telescopic tubular sections of the stretcher. A second brace assembly is provided in the kit having a smaller U-shaped retainer with a rectangularly shaped interior surface adapted to grasp a rectangular support in the carpet area. This brace has a vertical pivotal connection between its retainer and base. A third brace assembly is provided in the kit having an even smaller U-shaped retainer with a vertical pivotal interconnection to its base.
