Abstract: A carpet binding tape which abuts the cut edge of the carpet with a glue-filled stitched matrix, resulting in a closer fitting binding than prior art carpet binding tapes.

Abstract: A machine for on-site folding and securing a tape to an unfinished edge of a carpet. A housing rolls under the carpet. A heating unit is contained in the housing and heats the tape to melt an adhesive thereon. A die is interchangeably mounted to the housing and has the tape feed therethrough to be folded and attached to the carpet by way of the melted adhesive thereon. A first embodiment of the die has spaced-apart bottom and a top walls to receive the tape therebetween. A second embodiment of the die further has a pair of flanges extending outwardly from free edges of the bottom and top walls, respectively. The pair of flanges fold inwardly onto the bottom and top walls, respectively, and are spaced a slight distance from the bottom and top walls, respectively, so as to form a pair of guides that receive the tape.

Abstract: A thermoglue binding tape to protect and decorate carpet's edges and borders with a fuse system. An adhesive is disposed at strategic locations on a tape. In one embodiment, the adhesive completely covers one surface of the tape and the tape is bent into a channel shape that adhesively captures the unfinished edge of the carpet. In another embodiment, one strip of adhesive extends along one surface of the tape adjacent one edge thereof, another strip of adhesive extends along the other surface of the tape adjacent the other edge thereof, and the tape is bent into a channel shape that adhesively captures the unfinished edge of the carpet, with a terminating portion of the tape bent under itself. In still another embodiment, one strip of adhesive completely covers one surface of the tape and another strip of adhesive extends along the other surface thereof adjacent one edge thereof.

Abstract: A system that will provide a stitch-free binding tape for protecting carpet edges that consists of a fabric tape covered with a film of thermoglue so that it may easily be applied to an edge of the carpet with the use of a special iron designed for just this purpose.
