Claims11
A kneeler device for use in making carpet seams comprising:
- an elongated, generally rectangular rigid member of a width sufficient to accommodate only one knee of a user kneeling thereon with one knee, said member having a flat bottom unencumbered with obstructions so as to enable exerting pressure by the flat bottom extending across a carpet seam and under at least part of the weight of the user having one knee resting atop the member at a forward location thereon;
- a curved recess formed into an upper surface at said forward end of said member adapted to receive the bent knee of the user, with a forward ridge extending across the width of the member at a forward edge of said forward ridge, whereby a user can move said member forward along a seam solely by leg movement and engagement with said bent knee.
