Embodiment Construction

[0032]The present art overcomes the prior art limitations by providing a rug hold down corner, as in FIG. 1, generally part of a kit of four, that overcomes the limitations of prior devices and methods for weighting corners of rugs and mats. The present invention shown in FIG. 1 begins with the invention 1 shown placed upon the four corners of an area rug R. Though rugs R are described, the applicant foresees usage of the invention upon mats. Here the rug has a generally rectangular shape with four of its own corners at the intersection of two edges E. The edges generally intersect at a right angle and have the tip of the intersection, or corner, reinforced using existing rug making methods. Sometimes, the tip of the intersection rises up or curls because of various conditions including humidity, temperature, hygiene, and objects. The curled tip often catches a person's foot, leading to further curling of the rug and disturbance of the gait of a person. To prevent a person catching ...

Abstract

A rug hold down corner has a planar plate connecting to a base beneath. The plate and base have triangular forms, preferably a right triangle and alternatively an isosceles right triangle. The triangular forms include two edges intersecting at a common point and a hypotenuse opposite the common point. The plate connects to the base using mechanical fasteners preferably upon the edges and alternatively upon the interior of the plate and the base. The plate may have various geometric patterns formed therein while the base generally remains solid and includes at least one felt pad, generally opposite the plate. The felt pad contacts a floor surface or other carpet beneath the rug. In a further alternate embodiment, the edges of the plate extend outwardly and downwardly so the edges extend over and down the periphery of a rug's corner.

The invention relates to area rugs placed upon floors generally away from walls. An area rug, or mat, generally has a defined size and finished edges that remain visible when the area rug, or mat, is upon a floor.[0003]Over the centuries, various forms of rugs and floor coverings have sought to protect floors from abrasion, to decorate homes, to muffle sounds, and to protect the inhabitants of a home. Additionally, rugs see use in offices to reflect a certain status. Persian rugs with their intricate woven patterns have been desired for decades. The earliest Persian rug dates to 500 B.C. Rugs have been made from wool, cotton, polyester, and various o...
