This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat with a hidden base component. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.

A drop cloth retention system includes a drop cloth that may be positioned on a support surface. Thus, the support surface is protected from being contaminated. A clamping unit is provided and the clamping unit may be positioned on the support surface. The clamping engages the drop cloth such that the drop cloth is inhibited from moving on the support surface.

A multi-component floor mat has a base or frame layer, intended to be positioned on the floor, that is dimensioned to accommodate a flexible textile mat or rug top layer portion that is releasably held in place on or in the base or frame layer by an attachment coupling feature associated with one or both portions, thereby allowing for the easy removal or replacement of the textile top layer of the mat and its economical laundering.

A carpet metal sticker for fixing a carpet and a carpet fixing structure, the carpet fixing structure is used to fix at least four carpet. The carpet includes a composite back layer. The carpet fixing structure includes at least one carpet metal sticker. Four corners of the four carpets are respectively attached to the four hook fixing-carpet areas. A length of each of the hook needles taken along an extension direction thereof is equal to a thickness of the composite back layer. When the carpet is fixed onto the hook fixing-carpet areas, the hook needles are inserted into the composite back layer and is bent and fallen, and the hook needles are contained in the composite back layer. The hook needle can buckle the composite back layer of the carpet so as to fix the carpet onto the carpet metal sticker and avoid the phenomenon of warping and displacement of the carpet.

A rug fastening device for attaching a rug to an installed carpet includes a fastener, which in turn comprises a plate and a screw. The screw is attached to a lower face of the plate and extends helically therefrom. The screw is pointed distal from the plate and thus can penetrate a substrate, such as a rug, a runner, or a mat. The fastener is one of a plurality of fasteners. Each fastener can be screwed through the substrate and into a carpet to affix the substrate thereto to prevent slipping and bunching of the substrate.

A modular doormat having at least one profile having an elongated configuration, the profile being shaped in the form of a channel in accordance with a “U”-shaped transverse cross section; a covering element located in the channel and disposed for the contact thereof with the soles of footwear; first coupling device disposed in correspondence with one elongated side of the profile; second coupling device disposed in correspondence with another elongated side of the profile, the first coupling device and the second coupling device being mutually complementary; and adhesion device, the adhesion device being disposed adhering to an external, lower surface of the profile. The at least one profile may be disposed attached to a surface by the adhesion device.

A clip for attachment of a floor carpet includes a male member having a lower flange portion, and a shaft portion projecting from the lower flange portion; and a female member having a cylindrical portion to which the shaft portion is inserted, an upper flange portion projecting around an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, and an engaging portion at an inner periphery of the cylindrical portion. The male member also includes a hole portion penetrating through the lower flange portion and the cylindrical portion, engaging projections formed around an outer periphery of the shaft portion, and a regulation member inserted into the hole portion. In case the male member is inserted into the female member to engage the engaging projections with the engaging portion and the regulation member is inserted into the hole portion, the regulation member prevents the engaging projections from being disengaged from the engaging portion.

Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.

An anti-curling reinforcement device can be applied to corners of a rug, such as an area rug, to prevent the corners from curling. By adhering to the underside of the rug, and not the floor, the anti-curling reinforcement device does not damage the floor as may occur with double-sided carpet tape. The device utilizes a specially designed shape and structure that straightens and reinforces the corner to prevent further curling and possible damage to the rug. The device straightens, reinforces and adds weight to the rug corner to prevent curling, keeping the corner flat, and preventing possible damage to the rug as well as minimizing tripping hazards from curled corners.

The invention pertains to a method to removably connect a carpet product having a pile side and a fibrous back side to a surface, wherein the method comprises the step of adhering a double face tape with a first side of the tape to the fibrous back side of the carpet product and connecting the carpet product to the surface by adhering the second side of the double face tape to the surface, the first side of said double face tape is provided with multiple hooks extending from this side and having a length of 0.1-10 mm, and the second side of said double face tape is provided with multiple adhesive nano fibres extending from the second side, each fibre having a distal tip that has a surface extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fibre, the surface having a diameter of 1-900 nm. The invention also pertains to a carpet product and double face tape for use in the above described method.
