Abstract
A tufted carpet comprising a secondary backing which defines a volume being a parallelepiped having three pair of parallel faces, a first pair of parallel faces defining a upper surface of the secondary backing and a lower face of the tufted carpet, at least a second pair of parallel faces being inclined with respect to the first pair of parallel faces under an angle α1 less than 90°, preferably in the range of 10 to 87°, the angle being the smallest angle measured between the planes defining the first pair of parallel faces and second pair of parallel faces.

1-19. (canceled)
A tufted carpet tile in the form of a parallelepiped having three pair of parallel faces comprising:
- a first pair of parallel faces comprising a top face of carpet tufts and a bottom face of a secondary backing;
- a second pair of parallel faces being inclined with respect to the first pair of parallel faces by a first angle of less than 90°, the first angle being the smallest angle measured between the planes defining the first pair of parallel faces and second pair of parallel faces.
A tufted carpet having a secondary backing comprising:
- a volume being confined by:
- a pair of mutually parallel faces, wherein each of the mutually parallel faces comprises four edges, and wherein the first face of the pair of mutually parallel faces is an upper surface of the secondary backing and the second face is a lower surface of the tufted carpet;
- and
- four sides, wherein each side comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein each top edge of each side couples to an adjoining edge of the upper surface, and each bottom edge of each side couples to an adjoining edge of the lower surface;
- and
- wherein the four sides comprise two pairs of parallel faces, wherein for at least one of the two pairs of parallel faces, a perpendicular projection of one of the two faces has a point inside a perimeter defined by the edges of the lower surface, and the perpendicular projection of the other of the two faces having a point outside the perimeter defined by the edges of the lower surface.
A carpet comprising:
- one or more backings which define a volume being a parallelepiped having three pairs of faces;
- a first pair of faces defining respectively an upper face of said one or more backings and a lower face of the carpet;
- a second pair of faces, wherein a first face and a second face of said second pair of faces is inclined with respect to the first pair of faces by an angle of less than 90°.
