Abstract
The invention relates to an anti-slip insert mat having a carrier layer and a textile catching layer formed of filaments/fibers, wherein the catching layer has raised regions and compressed regions of lower height, wherein the raised regions are formed by free ends of the fibers and the compressed regions of the catching layer are formed by permanently pressing the free ends of the fibers.
Claims32
An anti-slip insert mat comprising:
- a backing layer and a textile hooking layer including a plurality of filaments/fibers wherein the hooking layer has raised regions and compacted regions of lower height, with the raised regions having free ends of the fibers and the compacted regions of the hooking layer being produced by permanent compression of the free ends of the fibers;
- and during proper use, the hooking layer is oriented toward an underlying passenger vehicle carpet, and is able to hook into the underlying passenger vehicle carpet.
A method for producing an anti-slip insert mat, comprising the following steps:
- preparing a backing layer of a hooking layer of an insert mat;
- producing a hooking layer on at least one side of the backing layer by tufting a pile yarn or mounting a layer of velourized needle punched nonwoven to an entire surface of the backing layer;
- using a pile yarn which is composed of a multifilament, with the tufted pile yarn, and cutting the pile yarn to produce free pile ends, or using a velourized needle punched nonwoven to form the hooking layer;
- and
- compressing and/or permanently compacting subregions of the hooking layer in a manner that produces raised regions of the hooking layer, composed of pile ends of the pile yarn or free fibers of the velourized needle punched nonwoven.
