ABSTRACT:
An improved cutter for carpet tiles is provided which can be used to quickly and accurately cut individual tile sections for completing a carpet installation between previously laid field tile and adjacent baseboards or walls. The preferred cutter includes a base plate together with a depending stop designed to engage the exposed edge of a field tile; a horizontally reciprocal, carriage-supported knife blade is mounted adjacent and above the upper surface of the plate in alignment with the stop. In practice a tile to be cut is slid under the knife until it engages the adjacent wall, whereupon the knife is moved horizontally to cleanly cut a tile section for insertion in the space therebelow. Use of a cutter in accordance with the invention can double or even triple the work output of an installer, as compared with conventional trimming practices.
