Abstract: The present invention provides a transition device assembly for transitioning between a first floor covering and a second floor covering that includes an elongated T-shaped member, a covering and an elongated base. The elongated T-shaped member has an upper portion and a base portion. The covering is attached to the elongated T-shaped member and covers a top and each side of the upper portion of the T-shaped member. The elongated base has a substantially flat portion and a longitudinally extending upwardly opening channel for receiving the base portion of the elongated T-shaped member. There may also be a notch in each end of the covering and the elongated T-shaped member to accommodate a doorstop. Alternatively, the covering also extends beyond the ends of the elongated T-shaped member and has a notch in each end of the extended covering to accommodate a doorstop.
Abstract: The present invention provides a device for transitioning between a first floor covering and a second floor covering wherein the transition device includes an elongated core and a covering. The elongated core has a top, a bottom, opposing sides and opposing ends. The covering is attached to the elongated core and covers the top and opposing sides of the elongated core. The present invention also provides method for manufacturing the transition device. In addition, the present invention provides a system having an elongated core and a covering as described above. A first floor covering is attached to the floor and abuts one side of the transition device. Similarly, a second floor covering is attached to the floor and abuts the other side of the transition device.
