HOLLAND, l' BBIDGEPOBT, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOB TQ SIDNEY BLUIEN- THAI. C0. ING., 0F NEW YORK, N. Y., A COBPORATION- 0F NEW YORK FLOOR COVEBING 0R `RUG- Applieation. med-August 39, 1931. Serial In. 500,089.
This invention relates to an improvement in floor coverings or rugs, and particularly to such coverings or rugs as include a fabric or textile surface permanently combined with a resilient backing material.
` An object of the invention is to rovlde such a structure in which a sheet of plle fabric is secured to a sheet of sponge rubber, so that the latter will serve as a resilient backing for the former while at the same tlme acting to prevent slipping -or creeping of the nother object consistsl in providin a rug or floor covering having a finish edge l5 formed by turning under a marginal portion of the fabric. 5
-A further object consists in providing a. rug or floor covering having an edge portion of the character indicated 1n which the peripheral bottom surface is the same as the top surface.
Another object consists in providing such a structure in which the body of the rug is formed of a ile fabric secured to a sheet of spongerub r, while the edges are formed of two thicknesses of the pile fabric secured together back to back.
A further object consists in providin such a structure in which the resiliency of t e peripheral portions is substantially the same as that of the body portion.
AnotherI object is to provide certainimprovements in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts whereby the above named and other objects may effectively be attained.
A practical embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Y 40 Fig. 1 represents a top plan view on an enlarged scale of a corner of rug or iorf covering, the remainder being broken away; Fig. 2 represents a bottom plan view of the same, a portion of the sponge rubber backing being broken away, and
Fig. 3 represents a vertical section along the line III-III of Fig.` 1. u
As shown in the drawings, there is provided a pile fabric 1 of usual construction, including warp threads 2, weft threads 3, and
loops of pile 4. Intimately and rmly secured to the back of this fabric is an impervious layer of .iexible backing material 5, such as rubber. This layer may be of any .desired lthickness but should desirably be only thick enough to ensure its remaining, impervious 1n use and to reinforce the fabric adequatelg, while permitting the greatest possible lex- 1 1 lity. 4A relatively thick layer of sponge rubber 6 is secured to the.bottom of the lay er 5 by any suitable means such as cement or vulcanizmg, and it may be desirable to have this sponge rubber of a high degree-of porosity and resiliency so as to provide, in eHe'ct, an a1r cushion beneath the flexible but relatively non-resilient upper rubber portion. This effect is enhanced by leaving the lower surface 7 of the sponge rubber in its natural porous open state. In this state also the surface is of such roughness as to holdl lirmly `u on the oor, however smooth, thereby conn p etely preventing slipping or creeping of the floor covering or rug.
A feature of this invention is the formation of a finished edge, as shown, in which the sponge rubber base 6 is made to terminate at a point 8 spaced somewhat from the desired extreme outside edge of the rug. The pro jecting marginal portions of fabric backed by the layer of rubber 5 are turned under and inward, and the contacting backing'portions are joined together into a double layer backing 9 having fabric above, beneath, and beside it. As shown in Fig. 3 the inturned edge of the fabric abutsvthe edge of the base 6 at the point 8 and may desirably be secured thereto.
With this construction it results that a pile floor covering is provided having a softness and resiliency out of all proportion to that normally expected in a pile of the length shown. At the same time a very neatly finished edge is formed, while the sponge rubber base is well concealed when the rug is in use.
'diicult or impossible to notice the existence' of this peri heral construction when stepping or Wal ing upon the rug.
It is evident that various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction, material fand arrangement kof the several parts Without departing from'` the-spirit 'and' scope` of my invention, and hence I .do not intend to be limited to the details herein shown and f described, except as the same may beset forth in the claims.
What I claim is:
1. A floor covering or rug of the character described comprisi-ng, a pile fabric surface portion, a flexible intermediate backing portion anda resilient base portion, the peripheral portions of said pile fabric and backing being folded under so as to form an edge Vhaving pile fabricon the bottom of the rug as Well as on the top.
2. A Hoor covering or rug of the character described comprising, a pile fabric surface portion, a flexible 'intermediate backing portion and a resilient base portion, said base portion terminating at a point spaced from the outer edge of the rug, and the peripheral portions of said pile fabric and backing being folded under so as to form an edge consisting of two layers of fabric and backing in back to back relationship.
3. A Hoor covering or rug of the character described comprising, a pile fabric surface portion, a flexible intermediate, backing porf tion and a resilient base portion, said base portion terminating at a point spaced from the outer edge of the rug, and the peripheral portions of said pile fabric and backing being folded under and secured at their in- 'Y turned edgeto the outer edge of the base portion, so as to form an edge for the rug 40 consisting of tWo layers of fabric and backing in back to back relationship.
4. A Hoor covering or rug of the character. described comprising, a pile fabric surface portion, a flexible intermediate backing portion and a resilient base portion, portions of the rug being formed of two layers of fabric and backing in back to back relationship, and the resiliency of said last named portions being approximately the same as that of the remainder of the rug.
5. A floor covering or rug of the character described comprising, a pile fabric surface portion, a flexible intermediate backing portion and' a resilient base portion. peripheral i l portions of the rug being formedr of two layers of fabric and backing in back to back rel lationship, and the resiliency of said peripheral portions being approximately the same as that of the main body of the rug. In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 26th day of August, 1931.
