Claim 0:
1. A flooring installation assembly for pressing a warped floorboard into position for proper installation, said assembly comprising:
a mounting plate being configured to be mounted to a floor joist during installation of floorboards onto the floor joist, said mounting plate comprising a first section being oriented perpendicular to a second section wherein said first section is configured to rest on the floor joist;
a pair of rods, each of said rods slidably extending through said second section of said mounting plate;
a pressure plate having each of said rods extending therethrough such that said pressure plate is spaced from said second section of said mounting plate, said pressure plate having a pair of welds between said pressure plate and a respective one of said rods to attaching said pressure plate to said rods;
a push plate being coupled to each of said rods, said push plate having a central member extending between a pair of lobes, each of said lobes having a primary surface being directed toward said forward surface of said pressure plate, said second end of each of said rods being welded to said primary surface of a respective one of said lobes, each of said lobes extending upwardly from said central member wherein said central member is configured to rest on the floor joist having each of said lobes abutting a lateral edge of a floorboard being installed on the floor joist;
a nut being coupled to said second section; and
a bolt being threaded into said nut and extending through said second section of said mounting plate, said bolt abutting said pressure plate, said bolt urging said pressure plate away from said second section of said mounting plate when said bolt is rotated in a first direction thereby urging said pressure plate away from said mounting plate wherein said push plate is configured to compress the floorboard into position for installation, said bolt facilitating said pressure plate to be moved toward said second section of said mounting plate when said bolt is rotated in a second direction.
