ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for installing floor covering. The present invention provides a floor-engaging roller to the rear portion of a "kicker", used in the trade to install floor covering. The roller vertically spaces the rear, knee-butting portion of the kicker from the floor, and maintains the forward head portion in proper position, so it more effectively engages the floor covering. The roller also provides significantly reduced friction in forward movement of the kicker, reducing the work effort of the installer. Interchangeable face plates on the head of the kicker allow it to be used both on carpet and on vinyl floor coverings. A complete, new kicker and structures for modifying existing kickers in accordance therewith, and methods for using same, are disclosed.
