ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for tucking carpet. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus is provided with a base plate, a handle, and three wheels. The leading wheel sets the edge of the carpet in the gap between the wall and the tack strip, the middle wheel tucks the carpet passing beneath the base plate completely into the gap and the trailing wheel ensures uniformity. By using three wheels, the carpet can be quickly and easily tucked in a single pass, thereby saving the carpet installer precious time. In another embodiment, the position of the wheels can be adjusted in relation to the base plate. The position of the wheels is adjusted and positioned in proportion to the thickness of the carpet being tucked. This allows the carpet tucking apparatus to be used with practically any type of carpet available on the market today.
