Abstract
A carpet cutter having a base with guiding side edges and also having a vertical frame.

Claims3
A carpet cutter comprising
- a base adapted to be drawn across the floor and having a plate that fits under the flange of an anchoring strip about which the edge of the carpet is to be folded so that the edge of the plate forms a guide for the cutter,
- a generally vertical frame mounted on the base and having opposed ends and generally flat vertical surfaces,
- a pair of horizontal slots in the frame extending toward the center of the frame, one from each end and disposed above the base,
- a pair of blades provided in the frame between the flat vertical surfaces and with one blade intersecting each horizontal slot, said blades lying in a plane parallel to the edge of the plate and spaced from said edge a distance which causes the cut made by either blade to form a margin on the carpet that can be folded under the flange,
- and a handle for manually engaging the cutter and carried on the frame.
