  • Publication number: 20150291074
    Abstract: The carpet is a tufted carpet for automobiles formed by implanting pile yarns into a base fabric, including: a high basis weight part having the pile yarns implanted at a high basis weight, a low basis weight part having the pile yarns implanted at a low basis weight lower than the high basis weight, and a middle basis weight part provided between the high basis weight part and the low basis weight part and having the pile yarns implanted at a basis weight between those of the high basis weight part and the low basis weight part. The basis weight of the middle basis weight part becomes smaller stepwise from the side adjacent to the high basis weight part toward the side adjacent to the low basis weight part.
