Claims23
A carriage apparatus for carrying a roll of fabric as the roll of fabric is being dispensed along a wall structure, said carriage apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a carrying member connected to said frame which is so constructed and located such that it is capable of supporting a roll of fabric in a substantially vertical orientation at one end of the fabric roll;
- at least a first wall engagement member connected to said frame and being rotatable about a first substantially vertical axis;
- at least a second wall engagement member connected to said frame and being rotatable about a first substantially non-vertical axis;
- wherein said first and second wall engagement members, in combination, are so located so as to be capable of cooperating with at least two surfaces of a wall structure such that said carriage apparatus will be moveably engaged to the wall structure.
A carriage apparatus for carrying a roll of fabric as the roll of fabric is being dispensed along a wall structure, said carriage apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- means for rotatably carrying a fabric roll in a substantially vertical orientation by supporting the fabric roll at an end thereof;
- first means for engaging a wall surface connected to said frame;
- second means for engaging a wall surface connected to said frame;
- and
- wherein said first and second means for engaging a wall surface, in combination, are so located and constructed so as to be capable of cooperating with at least two surfaces of a wall structure such that said carriage apparatus will be moveably engaged to the wall structure.
