Abstract
Abstract A process for manufacturing a magnetic material-containing carpet tile which comprises: forming a uniform fluid mixture of a liquid resinous material (e.g., vinyl chloride plastisol or poly(acrylic acid) water-based emulsion) and at least about 60% by weight of the mixture of a particulate magnetizable material (e.g., barium ferrite), applying the uniform fluid mixture to the back of a carpet facing to form a carpet composite, heating the carpet composite to solidify the mixture and fuse the mixture with the carpet facing and thereby provide a carpet covering, forming the resulting magnetized carpet covering into carpet tiles and applying a magnetic force to the carpet tiles to magnetize the particulate magnetizable material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A process for manufacturing a magnetic material containing carpet tile comprising: forming by high shear dispersal a uniform fluid plastisol mixture of a liquid resinous material comprising a polymer of a vinyl or vinylidene chloride, a wetting agent and at least about 60 percent by weight of the mixture of a particulate magnetizable material; applying the said uniform fluid mixture to the back of a carpet facing to form a carpet composite; heating the said carpet composite to solidify the mixture and fuse the mixture with the carpet facing and thereby provide a carpet covering; cutting the resulting magnetized carpet covering into carpet tiles; and applying a magnetic force to the carpet tiles to magnetize the particulate magnetizable material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A process for manufacturing a magnetic material containing carpet tile comprising: forming by high shear dispersal a uniform fluid plastisol mixture of a liquid resinous material comprising a polymer of a vinyl or vinylidene chloride, a wetting agent and at least about 60 percent by weight of the mixture of a particulate magnetizable material; applying the said uniform fluid mixture to the back of a carpet facing to form a carpet composite; heating the said carpet composite to solidify the mixture and fuse the mixture with the carpet facing and thereby provide a carpet covering; cutting the resulting magnetized carpet covering into carpet tiles; and applying a magnetic force to the carpet tiles to magnetize the particulate magnetizable material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the uniform fluid mixture contains at least about 75 percent by weight of the mixture of the particulate magnetizable material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claims 1 or 2 wherein the particulate magnetizable material is a barium, calcium or strontium ferrite.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the uniform fluid mixture is a plastisol of a vinyl chloride polymer or copolymer with polyvinyl acetate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
The process of claim 4 wherein the said uniform fluid mixture is formed by first forming a uniform mixture of the particulate magnetizable material, a wetting agent and a plasticizer for the liquid resinous material and thereafter adding that mixture to a separate mixture of the liquid resinous material, a plasticizer therefor and a stabilizer therefor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
8 words
The product of the process of claim 5.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the uniform fluid mixture contains at least about 90 percent by weight of the magnetizable particulate permanent magnet material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 7 wherein the particulate permanent magnet material is a ferrite of the general formula MO.6Fe 2 O 3 wherein M is one or more of Ba, Sr, Ca or Pb.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 8 wherein M is Ba.
