Apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner

Apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner away from a floor surface comprising:

• a rigid and planar body having a planar top and planar bottom,
• a hook part of a hook-and-pile fastener secured to said planar top of said body, and a pile part of the hook-and-pile fastener secured to a bottom of the rug, and
• a synthetic rubber layer that includes a first surface and an opposite second surface, said first surface is directly attached to at least a portion of said planar bottom of said body, said second surface of said synthetic rubber layer is configured to contact the floor surface,
• wherein said body and said synthetic rubber layer are a laminate structure.

Apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner away from a floor surface, the apparatus consisting of:

• a laminate structure comprising:
• a rigid and planar body having a planar top and an opposite planar bottom;
• and
• an elastomeric layer that includes a first surface and an opposite second surface, the first surface is laminated to said planar bottom of said body, and
• a hook part of a hook-and-pile fastener secured to the planar top of the body, and a pile part of the hook-and-pile fastener secured to a bottom of the rug,
• wherein the laminate structure is secured to the rug corner by the one part of the hook-and-pile fastener and the other part of the hook-and-pile fastener whereby the body maintains the rug corner in a flat condition and the elastomeric layer is configured to contact the floor surface.
