Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a velour rug, comprising the following steps: a) needling of a nonwoven/mali nonwoven on a bristle strip using a needling machine, in the process of which a pile nonwoven/carrier nonwoven is pulled into and partially back out of the bristle strip such that the fibers of the pile nonwoven/carrier nonwoven are located in the plane of the bristle strip, b) separating the nonwoven from the bristle strip by means of a roller brush, c) brushing the pile side prior to cutting the loops, characterized in that, in order to increase the fiber density and enhance the pile stability, an additional nonwoven/mali nonwoven, especially a pile nonwoven/carrier nonwoven, is placed onto the reverse of the nonwoven/mali nonwoven, especially between a first and second needling unit, between steps a) and b).

Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustically effective wheel house covering for vehicles, i.e. a wheel house covering which can reduce transmission of splash water noises in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and which can absorb the sound of rolling tires on a roadway, which wheel house covering comprises several layers of material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a molded carpet part for motor vehicles with an acoustic function, in particular for use as the floor covering of a passenger compartment, comprising an upper textile material (1), which is connected to a carpet backing (5) by means of a multi-layer material composite (2-4), as well as a method for producing a molded carpet part of this type. The molded carpet part can be produced to a great extent without shrinkage and with a high fitting accuracy. This is achieved according to the invention by configuring the material composite that is located between the upper material (1) and the carpet backing (5) from a first needle punched nonwoven (2) consisting of bi-component fused fibres, which is bonded to the upper material, a subsequent second needle punched nonwoven (3) consisting of single component fibres and a subsequent third needle punched nonwoven (4) consisting of bi-component fused fibres.

Abstract: The invention relates to a floor covering for motor vehicles, comprising a tufted velour carpet layer. The floor covering has a tuft carrier carrying pile knots and provided with longitudinal rows of tufts, comprising zigzagged back-stitches, on the lower side thereof. In order to reduce the weight of one such motor vehicle carpeted floor system and to improve the acoustic efficiency, the tuft carrier comprises a plurality of perforations defining gaps between the pile knots, the perforations being produced by tufting needles without pile yarns.
