Abstract

One possible embodiment for the invention could be a carpet-anchoring carpet stretcher comprising a front telescopic portion, the front telescopic portion reversibly anchors only to a carpet and connects to a rear anchor portion, the front telescopic portion further comprises a stretching mechanism that lengthens the front telescopic portion; the rear anchor portion, the rear anchor portion having a base with two opposing ends, each opposing end pivotally connecting to one end of a respective anchor leg while the other end of the respective anchor leg reversibly anchors only to the carpet; wherein the stretching mechanism generates a rearward force to the rear anchoring portion that laterally redistributes a portion of the rearward force to otherwise prevent the creation of one or more wrinkles in a portion of the carpet located proximately between the anchoring legs.

Abstract

A trowel blade includes a pre-finished, hardened and tempered blade having at least two apertures formed therethrough. Each aperture has a cross section tapering from a larger opening in a bottom of the blade to a smaller opening in a top of the blade. At least two cleats are also provided, each cleat being disposed in one of the apertures and each cleat having a lower portion, deformed within the aperture to have a frusto-conical shape mating with internal walls of the aperture. Each cleat also has an upper, inverted frusto-conical portion having a lower surface mating with an upper surface of the blade, and an upper shoulder. The upper shoulder of the upper portion extends upwardly from the lower surface of the upper portion and outwardly from a longitudinal axis of the cleat. The cleats are formed of an integral, rigid material and are collectively configured to provide a substantially rigid interface between the pre-finished blade and a removable handle of the pre-finished blade.
