Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005024121
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A reinforced secondary backing (40) and method of using the same, in which the reinforced secondary backing (40) includes reinforcing yarns (42) interconnect to the secondary backing fabric (32). The reinforcing yarns (42) generally extend in the longitudinal or warp direction and provide additional surface area to which an adhesive (26) may bind when combining the reinforced secondary backing (40) to a primary backing (24) in forming a laminate carpet (10). The reinforcing yarns (42) may be spaced across at least a portion of the backing (32) uniformly, concentrated in an area that typically displays weakness (such as adjacent the edges of the carpet), or a combination thereof.
