Apparatus for dispensing and re-rolling floor covering materials

摘要

A device for measuring and re-rolling floor covering material, particularly carpet comprises a base member having sides and a transverse table top. On each side of the table top is mounted a cradle which extends downwardly from the table top and outwardly to the side of the device. Each cradle is formed by four rollers, two of which are carried directly on the base and two of which are cantilevered outwardly therefrom and are pivotally moveable inwardly to a retracted position. The re-roll cradle allows two of the rollers to pivot about the axis of the next adjacent roller so that the rollers can be folded inwardly to form a confined space acting to commence the re-rolling of a carpet edge. A knife is carried on a chain movable across the table top and includes guide wheels which hold the carpet down onto the knife blade.
