Abstract
The present invention is directed to an improved floor covering measuring and cutting apparatus which includes a measuring and cutting table and an adjustable roll holding cradle. Bulk rolls on the cradle may be readily adjusted relative to the position of the cutting table and the guides thereon to assure proper feed of the floor covering material from the bulk roll through the measuring and cutting table. The measuring and cutting table includes an improved means for positioning the floor covering material on a roll up shaft to insure proper feed to the shaft and uniform wrapping of the floor covering material thereon. The adjustable bulk roll holding cradle includes improved means for loading and unloading bulk rolls thereon. The improvements facilitate operation of the apparatus by a single operator, making it readily adaptable for all sizes of floor covering material and enabling the operator to load and unload the bulk roll, reroll it after cutting and to unload the measured and cut roll.
