Abstract
Abstract An ornamental dual-patterned tuft pile carpet with a backing material having a repeat color patterned pre-printed warp formed in a higher and lower tuft pile textured pattern with the latter pattern correlated and combined with the repeat color patterned warp, and in which carpet the tuft pile may be either woven or tufted, and wherein the patterns, or either of them, may be repeated transversely, longitudinally, or both.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
41 words
An ornamental dual-patterned tuft pile carpet having back material, repeat color patterned pre-printed warp, said preprinted warp being formed in a higher and lower tuft pile textured pattern with the latter pattern correlated and combined with said repeat color patterned warp.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
41 words
An ornamental dual-patterned tuft pile carpet having back material, repeat color patterned pre-printed warp, said preprinted warp being formed in a higher and lower tuft pile textured pattern with the latter pattern correlated and combined with said repeat color patterned warp.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tuft pile is woven.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tuft pile is tufted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein lengths of correlated printed and textured patterns are repeated transversely as well as longitudinally of the carpet.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein one printed pattern length includes the aggregate length of a multiplicity of textured patterns.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein certain higher pile tufts and certain lower pile tufts are pre-printed by colors extending throughout their lengths.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein the printed pattern length differs from a multiple of the texture pattern length.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 7 wherein the over-all lengths of the pile yarns are substantially equal.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A carpet as claimed in claim 1 wherein the over-all lengths of individual pile yarns are substantially equal.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
111 words
The method of making a dual-patterned ornamental tuft pile carpet which includes color-printing a sheet of warp yarns in longitudinally extended repeat pattern form, beaming the warp yarns on warp beams, assembling on a tuft pile forming machine in color pattern-synchronized relation to each other a plurality of said warp beams, and then with required additional back material, on said tuft pile forming machine forming a higher and lower tuft pile texture pattern in correlated repeating relation to the color printed repeat pattern appearing in the exposed portions of the tuft pile thus formed as thereby shortened to finished carpet repeat pattern length from its original extended warp printed pattern length.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
111 words
The method of making a dual-patterned ornamental tuft pile carpet which includes color-printing a sheet of warp yarns in longitudinally extended repeat pattern form, beaming the warp yarns on warp beams, assembling on a tuft pile forming machine in color pattern-synchronized relation to each other a plurality of said warp beams, and then with required additional back material, on said tuft pile forming machine forming a higher and lower tuft pile texture pattern in correlated repeating relation to the color printed repeat pattern appearing in the exposed portions of the tuft pile thus formed as thereby shortened to finished carpet repeat pattern length from its original extended warp printed pattern length.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the pile forming is pile weaving.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the pile forming is pile tufting.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 10 in which substantial carpet lengths of printed and textured patterns include more repeats of the textured pattern than of the printed pattern.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 10 in which carpet one printed pattern length is approximately transversely coincident and equal to the aggregate length of a multiplicity of pile patterns.
