Abstract
A plurality of special metal clips is used to secure a wooden, carpet securing strip to a floor, and to retain a conventional threshold insert over the strip and the edge of any carpeting that is secured to the strip. Each clip has an upright, generally U-shaped section which extends along one side of the wooden strip (the side remote from the carpet), and which registers longitudinally with the other U-shaped sections of the remaining clips. These registering U-shaped sections of the clips are adapted to accommodate and frictionally to house the mounting rib of a conventional, elongate threshold insert, which is thus fastened by its rib to the clips so as to be held thereby in covering relation with the strip and the adjacent edge of the installed carpet, thereby to prevent accidental tripping over the carpet edge and any consequent damage thereto.
