(54) Wallpaper pasting tool


(57) A decorating support 1 comprising a support plate 4 mounted on a arm 13 supported through a variable height support 3 mounted on a wheeled base unit 2. The height of the support plate 4 can be varied by raising or lowering the arm 13 on the support 1 while the horizontal location of the support plate 4 can be varied by moving the base unit 2 on its wheels 9. The support plate 4 is movably attached to the arm 13 so that pasted wallpaper can be folded on support plate and then carried to and placed upon the arm. Wallpapering can then be carried out with the bulk of the weight of the wallpaper supported by the support plate, easing positioning of the wallpaper and preventing stretching and tearing. As the wallpapering operation proceeds the position of the support tray 4 can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally for the convenience of the decorator allowing both the walls and ceilings to be papered.
