ABSTRACT:
A rug hoist and method of use thereof enables a single operator to conveniently and safely suspend a rug from an elevated display rack. In a presently preferred embodiment, the hoist includes a pneumatically operated telescoping lift having a carriage with a V-shaped trough mounted on top thereof. The rug to be suspended on the display rack is rolled into a tubular configuration and mounted onto the carriage. The pneumatic lift then elevates the rug toward an upper mounting bar of the display rack so that a free edge of the rug can be safely and conveniently clipped to the mounting bar by a single individual. Once it is attached to the display rack, the rug hoist lowers the carriage and thereby unrolls the rug into a planar and generally vertical orientation for display on the rack.
