  • Patent number: 5946808
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a device designed to cut or score floor covering materials such as vinyl, linoleum, carpet and other sheet goods. The device has a metal base with a straight edge located on the front and rear portions of the meal base. Stabilizing members fixed to the top surface of the metal base provide a support for positioning pins which hold the metal base to the carpet. When cutting vinyl of linoleum floor coverings, the positioning pins are adjusted upward and the non-slip rubber coating on the bottom surface of the metal base prevents the straight edge from moving. A first guided track is fixed to the top surface of the metal base between the front portion of the metal base and the stabilizing members. The first guided; track has a channel designed to receive a cutting member. The cutting member has a vinyl knife or a carpet knife mounted to a second guided track. The cutting member is available in a right handed version and a left handed version.
