Method and device for making a non-woven pile web

Method for making a nonwoven pile web from differently coloured pile yarns lying side by side and being arranged so as to form a colour-figuration and being adhered perpendicularly in a sub-layer, characterized in that simultaneously two rows of differently coloured yarn end portions having a length equal to a multiple of the desired pile height are arranged in the sequence of the desired colour-figuration, between which in cross-direction and at a mutual spacing of two times the desired pile height a number of adhesive-impregnated threads extending parallel to each other and disposed in series of two are pressed and joined to said yarn end portions to form a continous, multicoloured web, cutting the yarn ends of said multicoloured web in a direction parallel to the impregnated threads before the first impregnated thread and between the threads of each pair of impregnated threads to form a number of strips, advancing said multicoloured web and repeating the above steps to form additional sections of each individual strip to provide a length equal to the desired width of the carpet web to be made and a width equal to twice the desired pile height of the web to be made and stacking and mutually connecting said strips along the adhered, impregnated threads.
