Abstract
Embodiments include a floor covering comprising one or more patches, wherein each patch comprises one or more braids of jute-like fibers. In one aspect, at least one of the braids is wrapped around itself to form a first patch. In another aspect, the first patch is operatively connected to a second patch. In one embodiment, the floor covering resembles a quilt. Further embodiments include a method for forming the floor covering.
Claims27
A method for forming a floor covering, comprising:
- providing a first, second, and third section, each section comprising a plurality of jute-like fibers;
- braiding the first, second, and third sections with one another to form a first braid, wherein the braiding comprises interweaving the sections together in a diagonally overlapping pattern by placing one section over the other in a regular sequence;
- and
- winding the first braid around itself to form a first pattern.
(canceled)
A floor covering, comprising:
- at least one pattern, the at least one pattern comprising:
- a braid having at least three sections braided together, each section comprising a plurality of jute-like fibers, the at least three sections braided together by interweaving the at least three sections together in a diagonally overlapping pattern by placing one section over the other in a regular sequence,
- wherein the braid is wrapped around itself to form the at least one pattern.
A floor covering, comprising:
- an interior patch;
