Abstract: The present invention provides fabrics with cut loop pile comprising a core yarn of a synthetic multifilament yarn and covering yarn of a split microfiber yarn and a manufacturing method thereof. The core yarn at the section where said loops are cut is outwardly protruded from the covering yarn, wherein the synthetic multifilament core yarn has been separated into multiple filaments to function as hooks. The fabrics with cut loop pile show superior characteristics in polishing properties, sliding properties, water absorption properties, rapid drying properties and feeling of touch since polishing can be performed while easily catching foreign substances such as extremely minute dust particles or human hairs and the like by the hook-shaped multifilaments of the core yarn. Thus the fabrics with cut loop pile according to the present invention can be used usefully in products such as various kind of mats, towels, bathroom products, and the like including dishcloths and mops.

Abstract: The present invention provides fabrics with cut loop pile comprising a rayon core yarn and covering yarn of a split microfiber yarn and a manufacturing method thereof. The rayon core yarn at the section where said loops are cut is outwardly protruded from the covering yarn, wherein the rayon core yarn is separated into multiple filaments to function as hooks. The fabrics with cut loop pile show superior characteristics in polishing properties, sliding properties, water absorption properties, rapid drying properties and feeling of touch since polishing can be performed while easily catching foreign substances such as extremely minute dust particles or human hairs and the like by the hook-shaped rayon core yarn. Thus the fabrics with cut loop pile according to the present invention can be used usefully in products such as various kind of mats, towels, bathroom products, and the like including dishcloths and mops.

Abstract: The present invention provides fabrics with cut loop pile comprising a synthetic filament core yarn and covering yarn of a split microfiber yarn and a viscose rayon yarn and a manufacturing method thereof. The core yarn at the section where said loops are cut is outwardly protruded from the covering yarn, wherein the synthetic multifilament core yarn is separated into multiple filaments to function as hooks. The fabrics with cut loop pile show superior characteristics in polishing properties, sliding properties, water absorption properties, rapid drying properties and feeling of touch owing to the split yarn of microfibers and the viscose rayon yarn which comprises the covering yarn, and polishing can be performed while easily catching foreign substances such as extremely minute dust particles or human hairs and the like by the hook-shaped multifilaments of the core yarn.

Abstract: A yarn tuft holder (11) for holding yarn tufts received from one or more yarn tuft inserting devices (2) prior to removal by grippers (13) of a carpet manufacturing machine, comprising a resiliently deformable comb portion (17) for receiving and holding yarn tufts and a rigid comb portion (16) disposed adjacent the resiliently deformable comb portion and for guiding grippers configured to remove yarn tufts held by the resiliently deformable comb portion. Also, a loom for making carpet, comprising one or more of the yarn tuft holders, and a method for making carpet using the loom.

Abstract: A woven exercise rug having contours on the exercise surface for the purpose of reducing the chance of a user slipping during exercise is disclosed. The woven characteristic of the exercise rug provides for some moisture absorption and the contours provide additional gripping for the user of the rug to help reduce the chance of slipping due to moisture accumulation on the rug, due, for example, to perspiration. The contours of the rug may be provided by supplementary wefts or warps in the weave of the rug which are not required for the structural stability of the rug.

Abstract: A method for making a fabric having a ground and pile threads inserted between the ground threads is provided. The method comprises a step of weaving two fabrics simultaneously so that the fabrics are positioned parallel and spaced by a predetermined distance, and the pile threads are inserted alternately between the ground threads of one fabric and between those of the other fabric. Also, each pile thread is wound around one of the ground threads by one or more turns. The method further comprises cutting the pile threads between the fabrics, and heat setting the fabrics to bind the pile threads to the ground firmly. The pile threads are made of acrylic yarn, and the weight percentage of the pile threads in the fabric is between 80 and ninety-five 95, and the weight percentage of the ground threads in the fabric is the remainder.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a loop pile fabric with a varied appearance includes a woven backing fabric. Loop weft yarns (12A), (12B) are provided outside the backing fabric, and loop warp yarns (1), (2), (3) are so provided that they are alternately inwoven in the backing fabric and form a pile loop (13), (14) over at least one loop weft yarn (12A), (12B), and the loop weft yarns (12A), (12B) are subsequently removed. By providing first (12A) and second loop weft yarns (12B) with a different thickness, pile loops (13), (14) of different height are formed. To obtain a fabric in which both pile loops (13) and cut pile (15) occur subsequently a top part can be removed from a number of pile loops (13). In areas (19) where no pile loops are formed effect backing weft yarns (11B) with laterally protruding filaments can be inwoven in the backing fabric. A loop pile fabric can be manufactured according to this method.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a loop pile fabric with a varied appearance, whereby a backing fabric is woven, whereby loop weft yarns (12A), (12B) are provided outside the backing fabric, whereby loop warp yarns (1), (2), (3) are so provided that they are alternately inwoven in the backing fabric and form a pile loop (13), (14) over at least one loop weft yarn (12A), (12B), and whereby the loop weft yarns (12A), (12B) are subsequently removed. According to this invention by providing first (12A) and second loop weft yarns (12B) with a different thickness, pile loops (13), (14) of different height are formed.
