The invention has for its principal objects to provide a simple and cheap tool of the character hereinafter more fully specified which is more especially adapted for family use and can be employed for the purpose of stretching the carpet and at the same time locating the tack in the proper place prior to being driven by means of a hammer through the body of the carpet and into the floor.
Claim:
A combined carpet stretcher and tacker, comprising, a flat main body portion 2, provided with an opening, an upwardly-extending tubular post connected with said body, the interior tubular portion of said post registering with the opening in said main body portion, said post being provided with a tack-retaining means, a laterally-extending groove in the under surface of said body, a spring in said groove having a portion extending into the interior tubular portion of said post so as to be brought in engagement with the tack when the tack is in position in said post, a plunger in said post, and a plate secured to the under surface of the body portion and over said laterally-extending groove to retain the spring in said groove. |
