Abstract:
An automotive tufted carpet with improved acoustic properties is formed with a two-part primary backing. The first backing layer is formed of a woven or non-woven or spunbond material, and the second backing or layer is formed of a microfilament spunlaced material possessing sound absorbing acoustic properties. The tufts of yarn are sewn through both parts of the primary backing which are then thermobonded together with an adhesive web positioned therebetween. The resulting acoustically enhanced automotive tufted carpet may be backcoated or precoated, and may have a secondary backing adhered thereto as a matter of choice.
Abstract:
Constructions for surface coverings such as wall coverings or floor coverings are provided. Components for surface coverings, precursors, materials, and the like are also provided. In one embodiment, a pile fabric suitable for use as a primary carpet fabric (122A’) within a carpet construction or composite such as a cushioned carpet or tile includes a plurality of pile-forming yarns tufted through or adhered to a primary backing of integral dimensionally stable character (114A, 115A) . A cushioning layer of foam, felt, fabric, or other suitable cushioning material may be disposed at a position below the primary carpet fabric (122A’) .
Abstract:
Tufted carpets bonded with thermoplastic binders and having improved resistance to fuzz formation due to removal of pile yarn filaments from tuft bundles comprise one or more backings, face yarn that forms a pile on one side and stitches on an opposite side, a thermoplastic binds stitches and the backing or backings, and an organic polymer that bonds filaments of the stitches. Processes for making carpets comprise applying to a stitched side of a tufted backing a liquid stitch bind composition comprising an organic polymer component, removing a liquid component of the composition to bond filaments of the stitches and bonding stitches and one or more backings with a thermoplastic binder that is melted or applied as a melt in contact with the stitched side and the backing or backings and solidified.
Abstract:
A durable floor covering article comprises a pile fabric, pile yarns forming a pile surface projecting from and covering the upper surface of the fabric, and a coating on the lower surface of the fabric for securing the pile yarns to the fabric wherein the coating comprises a blend of neoprene rubber and natural rubber.
Abstract:
This invention pertains to carpet, carpet backing systems, and methods for their preparation, from polymers which comprise at least one substantially random interpolymer which in turn comprises polymer units derived from ethylene and/or one or more alpha -olefin monomers with specific amounts of one or more vinyl or vinylidene aromatic monomers and/or sterically hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomers.
Abstract:
A carpet whose face yarn includes a bulked continuous filament face yarn wherein said yarn comprises: a) a bundle of drawn and crimped bi-component filaments, b) each filament consisting essentially of an outer lengthwise sheath of Nylon surrounding a core of polymeric material.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a composite floor covering having a lower cushioning layer, at least one dimensionally stabilizing intermediate layer, and an upper layer of a decorative fabric. At least the upper surface of the decorative fabric has a protective polymeric coating. The floor covering has a resiliency of no greater than about 55 % and a density of at least about 10 lbs/ft .
Abstract translation:本发明涉及具有下缓冲层,至少一维尺寸中间层和装饰织物上层的复合地板覆盖物。 至少装饰织物的上表面具有保护性聚合物涂层。 地板覆盖物具有不大于约55%的弹性和至少约10lbs / ft 3的密度。
Abstract:
A carpet underlay comprising a fibrous non-woven substrate composed of natural or synthetic fibers having in or on it a repellent finish which makes said substrate substantially impervious to liquids.
Abstract:
In a tufting carpet, the tufting threads (2) are tufted into a tufting backing (1) and firmly bonded thereto. The back side (1a) of the tufting carpet (1) bears a layer (5) made up of pieces of thermoplastic foil material cut into pieces and interconnected under heat and pressure. The back branches (2a) of the tufting threads (2) are firmly tied into the layer (5).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fully recyclable tufted carpet and a process for its production and its use. Its components backing, pile yarn, textile backing and the necessary adhesives all belong to the same polymer family, preferably polyamides, polyesters or polypropylene. The backing and pile yarn are secured together with the aid of a melt-type adhesive in hot or cold past form. The fact that it is fully recyclable means that carpets or parts thereof to be disposed of can be processed without separation into regenerated fibres which can be re-used in the recyclable carpets.
