摘要:
A textile product with enhanced flame and/or smoke retardant properties and a method of forming the same is disclosed. The textile product is comprised of a textile material having a primary layer or backing with intumescent particles coated, sprayed, sprinkled, or otherwise applied to the upper surface thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the particles may be incorporated into the tufting primary or backing. The intumescent particles may also be complexed with additional agents, such as antimicrobial agents, softening agents, pliability agent, stain resistant agents, waterproofing agents, static resistance agents and combinations thereof.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for preparing a moisture barrier fabric comprising needling the fabric in a direction substantially opposite to the advance direction of the fabric with barbed needles to increase the density of the fabric by entangling the fibers thereof, open-width washing of the needled facecloth fabric with a detergent and sodium carbonate to further increase fabric density by allowing the fabric to neck down or bulk at a substantially random rate, coating one side of the fabric with at least one coating of a latex formulation for use in forming the backcoating of the moisture barrier fabric, comprising a (meth)acrylic acid urethane copolymer having a curing temperature of approximately 250 to 275 °F, and immersing the dry moisture barrier fabric, including the latex backing, into a bath of fluorochemical and a solution containing about 10 to about 15 wt% polyurethane, and removing excess fluorochemical from the treated fabric.
摘要:
A carpet tile (11) and tile cutting apparatus (20) that produces a carpet tile with a removable cutout section (13) defined by discontinuous slits (19) and held in place by bridges (14). The apparatus includes a perimeter cutting assembly (50) and retractable inner cutting assembly (40). The perimeter cutting assembly is used to cut the carpet tile and the inner cutting assembly simultaneously forms the discontinuous slits in the inner portion of the carpet tile. The inner cutting assembly can be engaged or disengaged during the carpet tile cutting process. The carpet tile is installed by severing the bridges and laying the border sections (12) on the floor with dissimilar cutouts within the borders to create a visually interesting floor covering.
摘要:
A highly mobile, compact creel (20) that utilizes frames (22) for holding yarn packages (30) (or bobbins) for feeding yarn (33) to a tufting machine (58). Each frame (22) includes holders (60) affixed to the frame (22) for holding yarn packages (30) facing front (24) and back (26), a header (32) attachable to the frame (22) for directing yarn (33) from the yarn packages (30) to the tufting machine (58), and anti-static flexible tubing (50) for leading yarn (33) from the holders (60) to the header (32). The header (32) provides for aligning all the yarn ends in the same plane to join them to ends already threaded into the tufting machine (58). An optional frame overlay upright (81) having a ring (78) affixed thereto and strands (84) threaded through the ring (78) prevents yarn (33A) from upper yarn packages (30A) from falling onto tubes (6OB) holding lower yarn packages (30B) causing yarn entanglement.
摘要:
A carpet sample book (10) is provided which is constructed from a single sheet of material, such as cardboard. Tab and slot fasteners (40, 44) are used to avoid the need for adhesives. The samples are supported in the facing pages of the book by slots (16) which are cut into the cardboard surface. The slots are cut in a 'C' shape which allows the samples to be held at an angle.
摘要:
A modified bitumen sheet material (12) and method for a protective moisture barrier, particularly for masonry surfaces (42). The sheet material has a bitumen layer (14) modified by the addition of a minor amount of a long-chain polybutadiene-isocyanate urethane polymer and optionally, a modifying amount of hydrocarbon oil to provide stable, non-flow and selected tackified surface properties to the bitumen layer (14). The sheet material (12) includes a releasable casting paper film (16) on one surface of the bitumen layer (14), to be removed prior to use, and a cross-linked polyethylene film (12) bonded to the other outer surface of the bitumen layer (14) as a handling or moisture barrier sheet. The sheet material (12) is prepared by casting the hot, melted bitumen as a layer (14) onto a casting paper sheet (16) and applying the outer film to the exposed bitumen surface to bond to the top surface.
摘要:
A fusion-bonded carpet system and method of manufacture which method includes providing as all or a portion of the wear face surface cut yarn material in rope form prepared in rope bundles and implanting one or both ends of the rope bundle in an adhesive layer on a backing sheet to provide one or two I-bond, fusion-bonded carpet materials having a selected pattern on the wear face surface. The fusion-bonded carpet has a wear face surface composed of all or part of a yarn material in rope bundle form, for example, of a multicolored random or selected pattern. The carpet material may have a backing layer and form carpet tile.

摘要:
Procédé permettant la préparation combinée de moquette touffetée et de moquette collée par fusion, qui consiste à coller par fusion la surface supérieure d'une surface touffetée fibreuse de la moquette touffetée à une couche de matériau adhésif fixé sur une couche de support pour former un matériau de type sandwich et à séparer le matériau de type sandwich pour obtenir de la moquette touffetée et de la moquette collée par fusion, chacune ayant une surface d'usure exposée fibreuse séparée.
