Abstract: Provided is a carpet having transmissiveness and capable of retaining quality including the light transmissiveness, where in one embodiment, the carpet comprises a pile layer in which a plurality of pile yarns are tufted on the front face of a primary base fabric; and a backing layer disposed on the back face side of the primary base fabric, wherein the total light transmittance of the carpet is 0.5% or higher; the lightness when the carpet is viewed from the front face side of the primary base fabric is 30 or higher; and the thickness loss rate under dynamic loading accompanied by friction of the carpet is 25% or lower.

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.

Abstract: A tufted carpet has a high density portion and a low density portion. The high density portion has pile yarns implanted into a base fabric with high density. The low density portion has pile yarns implanted into the base fabric with low density. The fiber density of the high density portion is in the range of 280 to 700 g/m2. The fiber density of the low density portion is in the range of 200 to 500 g/m2. The fiber density of the high density portion is set to a value greater than the fiber density of the low density portion. The difference between the fiber density of the high density portion and the fiber density of the low density portion is set to a value in the range of 30 to 250 g/m2.
