  • Patent number: 6302178
    Abstract: A carpet seaming tool which is constructed to be of a heavy weight so as to exert a pressure against the carpet onto a carpet glue tape to facilitate bonding between the glue tape and the carpet. This carpet seaming tool is to facilitate connection, during non-usage, with a separate carpet seaming iron which is used to melt the glue on the carpet seaming tape. The carpet seaming tool includes a handle to facilitate movement of the tool along the carpet seam line during a seaming operation. The tool is constructed to eliminate the possibility of transfer of heat from the iron to the carpet which could result in damage to the carpet.
