Abstract
An apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner including a rigid and planar body having a planar top and planar bottom. The rigid and planar body being a laminate structure and including an adhesive layer having a top surface configured to adhere the body to an underside of the rug corner, an elastomer layer that includes a bottom surface configured to contact the floor surface and prevent slippage between the body and the floor surface, and a rigid layer between the adhesive layer and the elastomer layer configured to maintain the body in rigid form. Upon removal of a protective cover provided over a top surface of the adhesive layer, said body is adherable to the underside of the rug corner by said adhesive whereby said body maintains the rug corner in a flat condition.

An apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner away from a floor surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a rigid and planar body having a planar top and planar bottom, the rigid and planar body being a laminate structure and including:
- an adhesive layer at the planar top of the body and having a top surface configured to adhere the body to an underside of the rug corner;
- an elastomer layer at the planar bottom of the body that includes a bottom surface configured to contact the floor surface and prevent slippage between the body and the floor surface;
- and
- a rigid layer between the adhesive layer and the elastomer layer configured to maintain the body in rigid form;
- and
- a protective cover provided over the top surface of the adhesive layer and removable from the top surface of the adhesive layer to expose the adhesive layer for adhering to the underside of the rug corner,
- wherein upon removal of said protective cover and exposure of said adhesive layer, said body is adherable to the underside of the rug corner by said adhesive layer whereby said body maintains the rug corner in a flat condition.
An apparatus to prevent curling of a rug corner away from a floor surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a rigid and planar body having a planar top and planar bottom, the rigid and planar body being a laminate structure and including:
- an adhesive layer defining the planar top of the body and having a top surface configured to adhere the body to an underside of the rug corner;
- an elastomer layer defining the planar bottom of the body that includes a bottom surface configured to contact the floor surface and prevent slippage between the body and the floor surface;
- and
- a rigid plastic layer between the adhesive layer and the elastomer layer configured to maintain the body in rigid form;
- a removable backing covering the bottom surface of the elastomer layer;
- and
- a protective cover provided over the top surface of the adhesive layer and removable from the top surface of the adhesive layer to expose the adhesive layer for adhering to the underside of the rug corner,
- wherein upon removal of said protective cover and exposure of said adhesive layer, said body is adherable to the underside of the rug corner by said adhesive layer whereby said body maintains the rug corner in a flat condition.
