ABSTRACT:
A seaming iron is disclosed for use in carpet repairs requiring a replacement patching plug to be fitted into a cut-out opening in a carpet and attached to carpet surrounding the cut-out opening by hot-melt adhesive seaming tape positioned under the carpet and around a periphery of the cut-out opening. The seaming iron comprises: a heated base member sized and shaped for insertion into the cut-out opening to enable sufficient maneuverability of the seaming iron within the cut-out opening to permit direct contact between the heated base member and all of the seaming tape to activate hot-melt adhesive thereon and for preventing the seaming iron from becoming caught in the cut-out opening as the patching plug is attached to the surrounding carpet; a heat shield at an upper surface of the base member; a sole plate at a bottom surface of the base member for contacting and heating the hot-melt adhesive tape used to attache the patching plug to the carpet surrounding the cut-out opening in the carpet; a heater core located adjacent to the sole plate for heating the sole plate; and a handle having an elongated shaft and a pistol grip at a distal end of the shaft.
