Description:
A Process for manufacturing Rubber Woven Rug Field of Invention

This invention in general relates to textile technology. More particularly this invention relates to manufacturing of doormats and rugs. In particular this invention relates to doormats and rugs made of rubber yarn. This invention relates to a manufacturing process of doormats and rugs having rubber yarn.

Prior Art

This is for the very first time a product being developed having rubber yarns. When a rug or a doormat is made using rubber yarns and conventional weaving, the product becomes a versatile and affordable one.

It offers high utility and convenience of usage. The product is washable and can be made in vibrant colors.

It is an innovative product and it is a revolutionary concept in the category of hand woven doormats or Rugs. For the first time in the world a rug or doormat is being made using traditional hand weaving technology and using rubber yarns.

Summary of Invention

The , inventor has made a great effort to provide a method to meet the requirements of the industry and to overcome the problem associated in the prior art.

According to another object of invention there is provided a method to

improve the product so that it is unique, rugged and economical. Another object of the invention is to employ traditional and conventional method of weaving in order to manufacture doormats or rugs.

Another object of the invention is to employ rubber being natural product as raw material for manufacture of doormats or rugs.

Another object of invention is to invent a novel method of manufacturing doormats or rugs, which provide increased softness.

To achieve the above object according to first feature of the invention there is a method provided to improve the quality of the product.

At the outset of the description which follows it is to be understood that ensuing description only illustrate a particular form of this invention. However, such particular form is only an exemplary embodiment without intending to imply any limitation on the scope of this invention.

Accordingly, the description is to be understood as any exemplary embodiment and reading of the invention is not intended to be taken restrictively. The above and other objects, features and disadvantages will be clear from the following description of preferred embodiment of the invention.

Those skilled in the art should realize such equivalent conception do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention in its broadest form.

DETAILED PESRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT QF INVENTION

Materials Used 1. Special Rubber compound

2. Extruder for making Rubber yarns

3. Conventional Loom (Thari) Making of rubber yarn Compounds Used 1) Natural Rubber - 17.5%

2) Reclaimed Rubber - 17.5%

3) Stearic Acid - 0.65%

4) Zinc Oxide - 0.60%

5) Sulphur - 0.45% 6) Barites - 35%

7) Mer Cure -F- 0.3% (Accelerator)

8) Rubber Process oil - 10.5%

9) Tyre Powder- 17.5%

(10)Coloring agent - As per requirement

The rubber process oil is used as per the requirement of the final color required.

For Black color rubber yarn, Black oil is used and for any other color yarn white oil is used. All the above compounds are mixed together thoroughly and the resulting mixture is passed through a mould of various thickness connected to an extruder to make the rubber yarns.

The rubber yarns made is then put in to the steam chamber for vulcanizing.

The vulcanizing yarn is taken to the Thari for weaving. In the thari the rubber yarn is loaded on both warp and weft and woven in different styles.

Utility of the Product

The product which would henceforth be known as Rubber Woven Rug can be put on the walk way of a house or a building, can be used for the purpose of laying on the floor where people have to stand for a long time such as counters at the airport, banks, railway stations, bus stations, boat houses, immigration counters, cinema halls, super markets, behind any counter where people stand and transact and interact with people/customers and in hotel or restaurant kitchens.
