FLOOR-COVERING.
To aZZ whom t may concern.'
Be it known that` I, RALPH G. JACKSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chester, county of Delaware, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Floor-Coverings, of which the following is a specification.
li/ly invention relates to certain improvements in floor coverings of the oil cloth or linoleum type, in which the base consists of felted material.
The object of the invention is to prevent the material from tearing when excessive Strains are placed upon it during the handling of the goods, or while the material is on the floor.
The invention is particularly adapted for use in connection with rugs made of this material which have a base of felt, although it will be understood that it can be used in connection with strip material as well.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure l is a plan view showing a rug, with a portion of the felt exposed, showing the reinforcing stitching;
Fig. 2 is a sectional perspective view, showing the felt after stitching and before the paint is applied;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the rug, showing the paint wearing Surface applied;
Fig. 4 is a plan View illustrating a rug in which the reinforcing stitching extends across the entire body of the rug; and
Fig. 5 is aview of a base made in two plies stitched together.
Referring to the drawings, 1 is a rug of any suitable size. This rug has a felt base 2 and a paint wearing surface 3, of any suitable thickness, and there is usually a paint cover surface t at the bottom so as to lend finish to the rug and to prevent it from adhering to the floor. The rug has usually an ornamental center 5, shown in Fig. 1, and a border 6, of any suitable design, to harmonize with the center.
Rugs of this type have been manufactured, but unless Considerable care is exer- Specication of Letters Patent.

jected to excessive strains. This is particularly true in rugs of large sizes, which are now being made. To overcome this diiiiculty, I form a row of stitches w, preferably at each side of the rug near the edge, and also a row of Stitches m at or near each end of the rug, and, inv some instances, these stitches are supplemented by a second row of stitches mi' at the inner edge of the border, both at the side and at the end, as shown in Fig. 1. These stitches prevent the tearing of the felt when strains are placed upon it and also add considerably to the durability of the rug as a whole.
The stitches are formed before the paint covering is applied and when the rugs are made in long strips the end stitches a" and m2 are so distributed that they will come at the proper places when the rug is printed. In some instances, the stitches may extend across the entire surfacel of the rug, where additional reinforcement is required, and these stitches may be formed as illustrated at x3, Fig. 4, or in any other manner desired so as to strengthen materially the felt base. The stitching is completed prior to the saturation of the rug with a semi-solid bituminous compound so that the compound will fill the holes made by the stitching and when the paint is applied to the surface the stitches are covered so as to beV imperceptible, theappearance of the rug being the same as that of an ordinary rug.
Where the rug is made in. two or more plies of felt, as in F ig. 5, the stitchingmay be used not only as a means of preventing the tearing of the rug, but also as a means for holding the plies together, in addition to the ordinary felting of the plies.
' I claim:
l. A floor covering having a felt base and a painted Wearing surface; and a series of reinforcing stitches extending through the base for preventing tearing of the felt, the painted Wearing surface covering JBhe stitches on the surface of the material.
2. A floor covering having a saturated felt base and having a painted Wearing surface; and a series of reinforcing' stitches formed near the edge of the base so as to prevent tearing of the seine, the openings in the felt :formed by the Stitches being closed by the 10 saturating material, the painted Wearing Surface concealing the stitches.
n Witness whereof I aHiX Inv signature.
