Abstract
A carpet which is suitable for use in a vehicular passageway, includes a backing fabric that is woven by using the multi-filament yarns for the warps and wefts. A binding resin is applied to the filaments which compose the weft. The filaments which make up the weft are partially fixed to one another through the binding resin. The warp and the weft are partially fixed through the binding resin sticking on the filament of the weft before the tufting process.
Claims5
A tufted carpet comprising:
- a backing fabric comprising:
- a plurality of warps, each of said warps being comprised of a plurality of filaments;
- a plurality of wefts, each of said wefts being comprised of a plurality of filaments and a binding resin mixed and distributed therein and partially on the surface thereof;
- and
- said binding resin partially sticking on each of said filaments of said wefts and partially fixing each of said filaments of said wefts with one another, and partially fixing said warps and said wefts to each other;
- a first set of piles made of a first pile yarn, the first set of piles being tufted to the backing fabric with a needle gauge ranging from ⅛ inch to {fraction (1/10)} inch;
- and
- a second set of piles made of a second pile yarn, the second set of piles being tufted to the backing fabric with a needle gauge of twice the needle gauge of the first set of pile yarns and arranged in double lines longitudinally front and rear in the longitudinal direction of the backing fabric together with respect to the first pile yarns set of piles, and disposed each one of the second set of piles lies between any one pair of adjacent ones of the first piles first set of piles which are ajacent in the lateral direction of the backing fabric.
