Abstract
A carpet stretcher for stretching carpet is provided. The carpet stretcher comprises a gripping portion having a first end and a second end and a pneumatic portion having a first end and a second end. An interchangeable moving head is releasably secured to the first end of the gripping portion with the moving head having a plurality of gripping mechanisms for gripping the carpet. A pneumatic actuator assembly is mounted to the pneumatic portion and securing the first end of the pneumatic portion to the second end of the gripping portion with the pneumatic actuator selectively moving the gripping portion in a general direction away from and toward the pneumatic portion. A compressed air line extends from a compressed air source to the pneumatic actuator assembly. A trigger mechanism selectively introduces compressed air to each of the pneumatic cylinders wherein as the trigger mechanism is actuated, the interchangeable head moves away from the pneumatic portion causing the carpet to be stretched.
