WOVEN CARPET TILES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009980 titled 'WOVEN CARPET TILES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a carpet tile and the process of making it. The carpet tile consists of a woven facecloth with a latex or hot-melt adhesive precoat, an extruded polymer backing layer, and an optional polyester cushion with a reinforcing scrim layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the polyester cushion or extruded layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the pre-coat of the facecloth to form a uniform backing layer, and the polyester cushion can be laid onto the extruded polymer backing layer while it is still soft. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer backing layer, and the web is chilled.

  • The patent application is for a carpet tile and the process of making it.
  • The carpet tile consists of a woven facecloth with a latex or hot-melt adhesive precoat, an extruded polymer backing layer, and an optional polyester cushion with a reinforcing scrim layer.
  • The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the polyester cushion or extruded layer, respectively.
  • A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the pre-coat of the facecloth to form a uniform backing layer.
  • The polyester cushion can be laid onto the extruded polymer backing layer while it is still soft.
  • The entire multi-layer web is passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer backing layer.
  • The web is chilled to complete the process.

Potential Applications

  • Flooring for residential and commercial buildings
  • Carpet tiles for offices, hotels, and other high-traffic areas
  • Modular carpet systems for easy installation and replacement

Problems Solved

  • Provides a durable and stable carpet tile construction
  • Ensures proper adhesion between layers
  • Reinforcing scrim layer improves strength and dimensional stability

Benefits

  • Enhanced durability and longevity of carpet tiles
  • Improved resistance to wear and tear
  • Easy installation and replacement of carpet tiles
  • Provides a stable and comfortable flooring surface


Original Abstract Submitted

a carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a woven facecloth with an applied latex or hot-melt adhesive precoat, an extruded polymer backing layer, and an optional polyester cushion, comprising a reinforcing scrim layer within a polyester layer. the top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the polyester cushion or extruded layer, respectively. a polymer-based resin is extruded onto the pre-coat of the coated facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform backing layer, and the polyester cushion may be laid onto the extruded polymer backing layer while the extruded polymer backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. the entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer backing layer, and the entire web is chilled.
