REPOSITIONABLE CARPET HOLDING APPARATUS (VERSIONS) AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING CARPET FROM LATERAL DISPLACEMENT ON FLOOR SURFACE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: carpet securing facilities.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has continuous layer of foamed material including continuous lower layer of foamed material with non-sliding and non-adhesive lower surface contacting directly with floor surface, and continuous upper layer of foamed material with upper surface for contacting with lower side of covering. Apparatus is further provided with continuous thin woven layer intermediate lower layer of foamed material and upper layer of foamed material, and adhesive layer on upper surface of layer of foamed material. Adhesive layer may be layer of acrylic adhesive. According to second version, adhesive layer may be pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. According to third version, apparatus has layer of detachable paper coated with silicone, said paper layer covering said adhesive layer. Method involves providing carpet holding apparatus consisting of non-sliding and non-adhesive separate non-bound and continuous sheet with upper surface adapted for engagement with carpet lower side, and lower side adapted for preventing carpet from displacement relative to floor surface without utilization of adhesive; applying adhesive means onto upper surface of said sheet; placing said sheet between carpet and floor surface so that said adhesive means cooperates with carpet and said lower surface of said sheet cooperates with floor for preventing carpet from displacement relative to floor.

EFFECT: simplified method for operation of repositionable carpet holding apparatus, reduced production costs and increased efficiency in preventing carpet from sliding relative to floor.
