Abstract: A two-part molding system for use in connection with a floor and wall. The two-part molding system comprises a mounting portion having a back surface, a front surface, a top side and a bottom side. A projection or abutment is provided on the front surface of the mounting portion which has an underside for defining a receiving area. A molding portion is provided which has a back surface, a front surface, a top side, a bottom side and a toe. The top side defines a surface for engaging with and corresponding with the receiving area of said underside of the projection or abutment. The molding portion engages with the mounting portion to create a compression engagement between the molding portion and the floor.

Abstract: A transition support for flooring extending between a floor area of a high height and a floor area of a low height, said support being in the shape of a wedge which is generally unnoticeable by persons walking across the support and which does not jostle wheeled vehicles crossing the support.

Abstract: A system for installing carpet including a sheet which essentially includes a non-woven or flexible plastic backing with adhesive on both the top and bottom sides of the backing is disclosed. Release paper is placed on the adhesive on at least one side of the backing. When the carpet is ready to be installed the release paper from the side of the backing is removed so that the backing may be applied to a subfloor which may be a floor or pre-existing carpet. A carpet tile or carpet is placed on the top side of the backing. Thus, the present system provides dimensional stability to carpet tiles or carpet and to the existing floor.

Abstract: A transition support for flooring material extending between a floor area of a high height and a floor area of a low height, said support being in the shape of a wedge with an attached flat section in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the wedge having a thick end whose thickness is the same as that of the flat section. The transition support is generally unnoticeable by persons walking across it and does not jostle wheeled vehicles crossing the support.

Abstract: A transition support for flooring extending between a floor area of a high height and a floor area of a low height, said support being in the shape of a rectangle at the high height and a wedge spanning the distance between the high height and the low height. The transition support is generally unnoticeable by persons walking across it and does not jostle wheeled vehicles crossing the support.

Abstract: A device for lifting modular furniture comprising a base member, an elongated member pivotally connected to the base member and a furniture engaging portion rotatably mounted to one end of the elongated member. The furniture engaging portion includes a plate having a plurality of teeth extending from one end thereof for mating with slots in the modular furniture.

Abstract: A manual wrench includes a plate-like member having a plurality of substantially equally spaced projections extending around the periphery of the plate-like member. A slot is formed between two projections. A handle can be friction fitted over one of the radially extending projections for increasing the amount of leverage that can be applied to the wrench.

Abstract: The cove base is made from a relatively thin extruded vinyl and has a height dimension which is substantially greater than the thickness. Although the cove base is used as a top set base and covers imperfections in the outer edges of floor tiles or the like, it has the appearance of a straight base in that it does not include a rounded toe. The cove base is wedge shaped in that it is thinner at the top and gradually thickens toward the bottom while the front surface remains substantially planar. A flexible projection which is a continuation of the front surface extends slightly downwardly and conforms to any high or low spots that may be in the flooring. This projection also defines a space behind the projection and beneath the remaining parts of the cove base which may be used to contain a foam strip or caulking material. The cove base, the foam strip and/or the caulking material may include an antimicrobial agent therein.

Abstract: A prehung gauged cove base is adapted to be secured to a wall base and cooperates with the outer edges of a floor covering. The cove base of the invention has an upper portion which resembles an extruded vinyl straight cove base. Extending downwardly from the rear of said upper portion is a thin walled lower gauging portion. The bottom of the gauging portion is adapted to rest on the floor and to raise the lowermost part of the upper portion above the floor a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the floor covering whereby the edges of the floor covering can be tucked under the upper portion of the cove base. The forward end of the lowermost part of the upper portion is preferably pointed downwardly to better flex around and hold the floor covering. The gauging portion may have one or more continuous longitudinal grooves so that portions can be removed by stripping areas away in order to change the height of the gauge.
