Abstract: Spacers for a carpet sample board are described comprising two pieces, each with an outer flange to cover the hole cut in the sample board. The carpet sample board includes at least one spacer to prevent boards arranged in a binder or carrier from rubbing against or flattening the fabric of carpet samples on subsequent boards. The spacers are typically attached to the board by the mating of male and female members, where a male member is placed on the top surface of the board and penetrates the board through an aperture in the board. The male member is then coupled by a female member on the opposite surface of the board.

Abstract: A handle for a carpet sample board is described comprising two grommets, each with an outer flange to cover the hole cut in the sample board, an arcuate section defining an ovular hand opening and thereby provide a comfortable grip while simultaneously preventing fraying of the hole in the board. The grommets are joined about the hole in the sample board by mating male and female plugs.

Abstract: A carpet sample display rack having a support stand and divider units for supporting carpet samples positioned edgewise upon the stand utilizes linear and parallel U-shaped channels arranged so as to provide a guideway along which the divider units are slidably positioned. The channels capture the divider units in a manner which resists separation of the divider units from the stand and facilitates assembly of the rack.
