Abstract: A carpet which is suitable for use in a vehicular passageway, includes a backing fabric that is woven by using the multi-filament yarns for the warps and wefts. A binding resin is applied to the filaments which compose the weft. The filaments which make up the weft are partially fixed to one another through the binding resin. The warp and the weft are partially fixed through the binding resin sticking on the filament of the weft before the tufting process.

Abstract: A display device for upholstery material and the like including a central section and an arched surface of an upwardly inclined inner surface and downwardly inclined outer surface joined by a curved section on each side of the central section. A channel is formed at the intersection of the arched surface and the central section and channels are formed across the length and width of the central section. The material is draped over the central section and the arched surface and depressed into one or more of the channels to hold the material and to correspond to the various parts of an article on which the material is to be used.

Abstract: Artificial leather having a crepe pattern is produced by a process comprising preparing a base cloth material at least a part of which is composed of highly heat shrinkable yarn and less heat shrinkable yarn, said highly heat shrinkable yarn having a heat shrinkage rate of at least 10 percent at a temperature within the range at 80.degree. to 230.degree.C and the difference in the heat shrinkage rate between said highly heat shrinkable yarn and said less heat shrinkable yarn being at least 5 percent within the same temperature range, forming a synthetic resin film layer on said base cloth material to obtain an artificial leather material having a smooth synthetic resin surface, and subjecting said artificial leather material to a heat treatment to form a crepe pattern on said synthetic resin film layer due to the heat shrinkage difference between said highly heat shrinkable yarn and said less heat shrinkable yarn of said part of said base cloth material.
