Abstract
A carpet rolling machine for quickly and efficiently rolling carpet around a core without causing damage to the carpet. The machine includes a moveable dispenser for applying an adhesive flap to the core prior to winding the carpet around the core. The leading edge of the carpet is positioned between the flap and the core so that it may attach to the adhesive on the interior surface of the flap. Once the leading edge of the carpet is properly positioned, the carpet is wound around the core by a roll up.
