Abstract
Abstract A composite fabric in the form of a carpet tile including a fibrous material and a substrate material formed of deaerated thermo-plastics material having a density in the range 4-10 lbs./sq. yard. The thermo-plastics material forms an exposed surface of the carpet tile and the fibrous material forms a layer embedded in the deaerated thermo-plastics material remote from the exposed surface. A lightweight layer of pile-forming material having a density in the range 6-8 oz/sq. yard is bonded to the substrate material at the surface thereof remote from the exposed surface and a bonding agent, in the form of a layer of a foamed plastics material in a gelled state, secures the layer of pile-forming material to the substrate material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A composite fabric comprising: a substrate material formed of deaerated thermo-plastics material and fibrous material, the thermo-plastics material forming an exposed surface of the composite fabric, the fibrous material forming a layer embedded in said deaerated thermo-plastics material remote from said exposed surface, a layer of porous lightweight pile material being of lesser density than the deaerated thermo-plastics material and bonded to the substrate material at the surface thereof remote from said exposed surface, and a bonding agent in the form of a layer of foamed plastics material securing said layer of porous, lightweight pile material to said substrate material without substantial penetration of said pile material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A composite fabric comprising: a substrate material formed of deaerated thermo-plastics material and fibrous material, the thermo-plastics material forming an exposed surface of the composite fabric, the fibrous material forming a layer embedded in said deaerated thermo-plastics material remote from said exposed surface, a layer of porous lightweight pile material being of lesser density than the deaerated thermo-plastics material and bonded to the substrate material at the surface thereof remote from said exposed surface, and a bonding agent in the form of a layer of foamed plastics material securing said layer of porous, lightweight pile material to said substrate material without substantial penetration of said pile material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
126 words
A composite fabric in the form of a carpet tile comprising: a substrate material formed of deaerated thermo-plastics material having a density in the range 4-10 lbs/sq. yard and fibrous material, the thermo-plastics material forming an exposed surface of the carpet tile, the fibrous material forming a layer embedded in said deaerated thermo-plastics material remote from said exposed surface, a lightweight layer of porous pile-forming material having a density in the range 6-8 oz/sq. yard bonded to the substrate material at the surface thereof remote from said exposed surface, and a bonding agent in the form of a layer of a foamed plastics material in a gelled state securing said layer of porous pile-forming material to said substrate material without substantial penetration of said pile-forming material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
126 words
A composite fabric in the form of a carpet tile comprising: a substrate material formed of deaerated thermo-plastics material having a density in the range 4-10 lbs/sq. yard and fibrous material, the thermo-plastics material forming an exposed surface of the carpet tile, the fibrous material forming a layer embedded in said deaerated thermo-plastics material remote from said exposed surface, a lightweight layer of porous pile-forming material having a density in the range 6-8 oz/sq. yard bonded to the substrate material at the surface thereof remote from said exposed surface, and a bonding agent in the form of a layer of a foamed plastics material in a gelled state securing said layer of porous pile-forming material to said substrate material without substantial penetration of said pile-forming material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A composite fabric as claimed in claim 2, wherein said fibrous material is in the form of a scrim made of fiberglass.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composite fabric as claimed in claim 2, wherein said thermo-plastics material comprises P.V.C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
