A cut surface smoothing device which can smooth the cut surface of a filament three-dimensional bonded member is provided. The cut surface smoothing device includes a high temperature portion which is heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the filament three-dimensional bonded member, and the high temperature portion is applied to the cut surface of the filament three-dimensional bonded member to smooth the cut surface.

Disclosed is a fabric for a roofing membrane adapted to waterproof a roof of a building, the fabric including: warp and weft yarns laid on each other on the front and back sides thereof in such a manner as to have numbers and lengths corresponding to an area of the fabric; ground yarns wound around one side warp yarn and the other side warp yarn in a zigzag form in such a manner as to interlace the weft yarn; and finishing yarns arranged on edges thereof to allow the ground yarns to be arranged therebetween, upper loops and lower loops being formed alternately on the warp yarns where the ground yarns, the finishing yarns, or the ground yarn and the finishing yarn are laid on each other.

A carpet product including a primary backing layer and a plurality of yarn tufts. The plurality of yarn tufts are tufted in and extend upwardly from a top surface of the primary backing layer to form a tufted carpet product. The carpet product has an inner portion and a peripheral portion surrounding at least a portion of the inner portion and extending along at least one of the edges of the primary backing layer. The plurality of yarn tufts include a plurality of peripheral yarn tufts positioned within the peripheral portion of the tufted carpet product. A portion of the peripheral yarn tufts are anchored to other peripheral yarn tufts. At least a portion of each anchored peripheral yarn tuft is entangled with one or more of the other peripheral yarn tufts.

Tinkles (also known as gotchas) (see reference number 20 in FIGS. 1 and 2) are portions of knitted metal loops produced when a tube of knitted wire mesh is cut into individual pieces. In the prior art, tinkles have been considered a fact of life and the approach has been to try to shake them out of the mesh or immobilize them on or in the mesh. By producing a knitted tube (11) having alternating segments (12,13) of knitted rows of yarn and knitted rows of wire, completely tinkle-free knitted socks are produced which are used to produce completely tinkle-free knitted wire mesh filters. Knitted wire mesh filters that cannot release tinkles because they do not have any tinkles can be used in such applications as fuel filters and airbag filters.

A coated nonwoven product used to make engine hood insulation material is produced by a method which involves needle punching a carded, cross-lapped web, then calendering the resulting web and then applying a foam coating. Rotary screen printing is used to apply a dot pattern of an acrylic emulsion to the dried, foam-coated web. Thermoplastic and/or thermoset material is deposited onto the acrylic coating and excess material is removed by vacuum, leaving a corresponding dot coating pattern of said material. The coated web is heated using infrared energy before cooling, cold calendering and winding-up.
