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 material, and the second backing layer is formed of a microfilament spunlaced material possessing sound absorbing acoustic properties. The first backing layer and second backing layer are thermobonded together with an adhesive web positioned therebetween to form the two-part primary backing. Tufts of yarn are then sewn through the two-part primary backing. 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:
An upper surface layer 2 and a nonwoven fabric sound absorption layer 3 are integrally secured via an air permeable adhesive resin layer 4 formed by melting thermoplastic resin powder, and the air permeability of the thickness direction of the entire carpet 1 falls within the range of 1 to 50 cm3/cm2nullsecond. This effectively absorbs noise from the upper side entering via a roof, doors and windows as well as noise from the lower side. The carpet can be manufactured by scattering thermoplastic resin powder on an upper surface member, heating the thermoplastic resin powder into melted thermoplastic resin, placing a nonwoven fabric on the upper surface member via the melted thermoplastic resin, and pressing the nonwoven fabric and the upper surface member in a laminated state. It is preferable that powder of particle size of 90 to 10,000 nullm is scattered in the amount of 5 to 500 g/m2.

Abstract:
A variety of embodiments of layered and laminated fabric systems, each, preferably, including a puncture-resistant layer are disclosed. The puncture-resistant layer(s) of the layered systems can, in some embodiments, comprise or consist essentially of high tenacity fibers having a tensile breaking strength of at least about 10 g/Denier. The puncture-resistant layer(s) can be combined with one or more additional layers providing one or more desirable attributes of an article of apparel for use in, for example, rugged outerwear (e.g., dyeability, printability, soft hand, breatheability, abrasion resistance, etc.). The puncture-resistant layers can comprise fabrics or non fabrics and, when comprising a fabric, can comprise a woven or non-woven fabric (e.g., felts and knitted fabrics). In some embodiments, puncture-resistant layers of the multi-layer constructions and systems can comprise intimate blend fabrics comprising two or more different fiber types and/or high cover factor, small fill yarn fabrics or, in other embodiments, can comprise one or more conventionally constructed puncture-resistant layer(s).
Abstract:
A floor covering article comprises a decorative fabric layer, pile yarns forming a decorative pile surface projecting from and partially covering the upper surface of the decorative fabric layer, and means for securing the pile yarns to the decorative fabric layer. The decorative pile surface covers between about 5% to about 95% of the upper surface of the decorative fabric layer so that the decorative fabric is clearly visible when the floor covering article is in planar orientation. The overall effect of the floor covering article, including the decorative fabric and the decorative pile surface, is decorative.
Abstract:
A carpet composite is provided having improved static electricity characteristics which comprises: a surface layer comprised of face yarn, said face yarn being embedded into a backing layer of thermoplastic resin material into which has been incorporated a mixture of carbon black and carbon fibers in an amount sufficient to improve the static electricity characteristics of said carpet composite.
Abstract:
A carpet construction wherein a primary carpet backing is coated with an elastomeric film and face yarns are stitched into the coated primary carpet backing.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward a method for improving the tuft bind of yarn in textile coverings. The method comprises applying to the yarn, prior to applying an adhesive, a functional amount of an aqueous dispersion comprising a surfactant and/or polymeric component wherein the aqueous dispersion has a surface tension approximately equal to or less than the surface tension of the yarn. The present invention also is directed toward a textile covering having improved tuft bind prepared by the aforementioned method. The method is advantageously employed in the preparation of floor coverings to maintain the original appearance and resist the loss of pile or a condition known as pill and fuzzing.
Abstract:
Substrates having a backing of fine celled polyurethane foam are prepared by applying to the back of the substrate a frothed polyurethane forming composition containing small amounts of a silicone surfactant having an average molecular weight below about 30,000 which provides the resultant foam with a cell count value of greater than about 16 per 0.0025 square inches and wherein the unfilled, unfrothed liquid components of said polyurethane forming composition obtains a viscosity of greater than 10,000 centipoise in less than 40 minutes at 25.degree. C.
Abstract:
A fire suppressant composition is provided for particular use in polyurethane backed carpets for airplanes which suppressant comprises a combination of (1) an organic filler composition comprising (a) a hydrated alumina compound, (b) a hydrated zinc borate, (c) an inorganic lead-containing compound and (d) an inorganic antimony-containing compound and (2) a halogen-containing resin.
Abstract:
An automobile floor mat designed to reduce movement of the mat relative to the floor having a relatively stiff portion and a second portion having a relatively flexible portion, the stiff and second portions each having base portions of monolithic elastomeric materials connected in a hinge area so that the mat can be molded in a single molding operation. The relative difference in rigidity permits the flexible portion to bend relative to the stiff portion and can be accomplished by materials of different thickness or rigidity or both.
