2 Claims.
This invention relates to a rug or the like and method of producing the same. and has for an object to provide an article of this character that has a pile fabric surface and edges, a sponge rubber back, and an intermediate 'reinforcing layer.
Another object consists in providing such an article in which the pile fabric covers and conceals the edges but does not extend underneath the edges, thereby presenting the sponge rubber as a backing support throughout the area of the ymg.
Another object consists in providing such an article that includes fastening devices for securing the same against sliding, which fastening devices are rooted in the reinforcing layer intermediate the pile fabric facing and sponge rubber backing.
A further object consists in providing certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts, and in the steps followed in the production of the same, whereby the above named and other objects may effectively be attained.
A practical embodiment of a rug made according to my invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 represents a detail broken top plan view;
Fig. 2 represents a section taken in the plane of the line II-II of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows; and s- Fig. 3 represents a detail bottom plan view.
The facing of the'rug is denoted by I and is preferably composed of V-pile fabric which is devoid of extra threads, such as backing warps or the like, for the purpose of securing the pile Vs in the ground. This weave is relatively simple and cheap to produce.
The back of the ground of the said pile fabric I is preferably coated with a thin application of cementitious binding material 2, such, for instance, as some form of rubber, in order rmly to lock the pile Vs to the warp and weft threads of the ground. This coating and the manner of its application are now Well understood in this industry, and its effectiveness for the purpose has been thoroughly demonstrated.
A layer or reinforcing material 3, such as duck or canvas, is applied to the rubber coating on the back of the pile fabric and secured thereto by vulcanized rubber cement or by any other suitable adhesive.
The sponge rubber backing, denoted by 4, is secured to the under side of the reinforcing layer of duck by vulcanized rubber cement or by any other suitable adhesive.
The edges of the pile fabric I are turned down along the edges of the sponge rubber 4, which latter is relatively thick, and secured in such 5 turned-down position by vulcanized rubber cement, or any other suitable adhesive.
If it is desired to equip the rug with fasteners for securing it in poitlon and against slipping the said fasteners may be forced through from 10 the upper side of the reinforcing layer 3, before the latter is associated with the pile fabric layer, and arranged to appear on the lower face of the sponge rubber layer 4. The head of such a fastener is indicated by 5 and its operative end 15 is marked 6. As this form of fastener is conventional and its mode of operation well known, there is no cause for further describing it, but it may be said that its association with the rug elements as just set forth serves to root it firmly 20 in the reinforcing duck 3 and thereby prevent it from being loosened or separated from the rug when the latter is in service.
In producing this rug, I prefer to proceed as follows: 25 The pile fabric I is first woven as described and then coated with the application of cementitious binding material 2. The reinforcing layer 3, of duck or the like, is pre-shrunk. One side of the said layer is then coated with a 30 vulcanizable rubber cement, and the sponge rubber layer 4, which has been cut to size, is then applied to the cement and allowed to set for a reasonable period to secure adhesion. The duck is then out to approoximately the same size 35 and shape as the sponge rubber layer, and the composite sheet is placed in a heater to vulcanize the cement. After vulcanizatlon the composite sheet is trimmed to exact size and formed with any apertures or slits which may be de- 40 sired-in case, for instance, the rug is to be used as a floor covering for the front floor-board of an automobile. The fasteners, 5, 6 are also inserted at this time.
A portion of the coated pile fabric. cut to ap- 45 proximately the required size, is treated on its back with vulcanizable rubber cement and the composite sheet of duck and sponge rubber is then applied to the cemented side of the pile fabric with the duck adhering to the cement. 50
Thereafter the edges of the sponge rubber are treated with the vulcanizable rubber cement and the same is allowed to become tacky. The edges of the pile fabric are then turned down along the edges of the sponge rubber layer and pressed 55 so as to cause them to adhere to the cement. Thereupon the rug is placed in a heater to vulcanize the cement which rmly unites the reinforcing canvas layer to the back of the pile fabric layer and the edges of the pile fabric layer to the edges of the sponge rubber layer.
Finally the edges of the pile fabric are trimmed so as to be exactly level with the under face of the sponge rubber, and the rug is completed.
It will be found that the rug embodying my invention makes a very fine appearance, is extremely wear-resisting, and decidedly resilient. The turning of the pile fabric edges down along the edges of the thick sponge rubber backing makes an attractive finish, and yet the pile fabric edges are not turned under so as to in any way limit the area of resilient support provided by the sponge rubber. Such a turning down of the pile fabric may, of course, be accomplished at all edges, including the edges of slits or apertures which may be formed in the rug as previously indicated. The provision of the reinforcing duck layer 3 not only strengthens the whole structure and forms an anchoring support for the fastening elements, but it also holds the rug in form to withstand the severe service to which it may be submitted, particularly in cases where it is used as a covering for automobile footboards.
It will be understood that various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts, in the materials employed, and in the steps of the method followed, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence I do not intend to be 5 limited to the details herein shown and described, except as the same may be included in the claims.
What I claim is:
1. A rug or the like comprising a pile fabric facing, a sponge rubber backing, and an intermediate reinforcement composed of strong woven fabric, the sponge rubber backing being relatively thick, and the edges of the pile fabric being turned down and having their back surface secured to the vertical edges of the sponge rubber backing.
2. A rug or the like comprising, a pile fabric facing, a sponge rubber backing, an intermediate reinforcement composed of strong woven fabric, the sponge rubber backing being relativelythick, and the edges of the pile fabric being turned down and having their back surface secured to the vertical edges of the sponge rubber backing, and a floor fastening element anchored in the .intermediate fabric reinforcement and having its operative portion exposed on the lower face of the sponge rubber backing and embedded therein.
