发明名称 Floor groover
摘要 A floor groover used to facilitate specialized heat welding of floor covering materials. The groover cuts a groove for receiving a welding rod at the edges or seam of abutting pieces of flooring materials. The groover can provide for a groove not only up to the wall, but also up the wall and in the radius of the coved-sticked area. Some embodiments of the groover can provide enhanced freedom of movement, which can be helpful when creating grooves of certain shapes in the flooring.

主权项 1. A floor groover comprising: a body having a length defining a longitudinal groove cutting direction, a width perpendicular to the length, a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side; a first grooving blade coupled to the body, including a first grooving blade cutting edge disposed below a bottom side of the body, the first grooving blade comprising a cutting edge extending transversely to the longitudinal groove cutting direction, comprising a lower middle portion and upturned left-side and right-side portions, and being configured to engage a seam formed by abutting contact of adjacent floor coverings, when the body is placed on top of the seam, and to cut a groove along the seam when the body is moved along the seam in said longitudinal direction; a second grooving blade coupled to a an adjustment block that is pivotably coupled to the body such that the second grooving blade can be secured in a plurality of positions at a plurality of different angular orientations with respect to the body by securing the adjustment block at a plurality of corresponding positions, including a wall grooving orientation in which a second grooving blade cutting edge is disposed at a location rearward of the rear of the body; at least one of the first grooving blade and the second grooving blade being a planar grooving blade formed into a U shape and including upturned straight portions disposed to the left and right of a bottom curved portion; and the body including a convex curved face extending at least from the position of the second grooving blade cutting edge in the wall grooving orientation to a highest point of the body.
