A detachable carpet is provided. The detachable carpet includes a carpet surface layer and an adhesive anti-skid layer, and the carpet surface layer and the adhesive anti-skid layer are detachably connected. The carpet surface layer includes a surface layer and a sticky layer, and the surface layer is arranged at a top end of the carpet surface layer. Bent protruded monofilaments are distributed on a lower surface of the sticky layer, and lumps are formed at the tops of the monofilaments after the monofilaments are melted/softened. The adhesive anti-skid layer includes a hooking surface layer and an anti-skid layer, and the anti-skid layer is arranged at a bottom of the adhesive anti-skid layer. After the protruded monofilaments on the lower surface of the sticky layer are subjected to thermal treatment, the top ends of the protruded monofilaments are melted/softened to form small lumps.

A seaming tape for joining pieces of floor-covering together, such as carpet or resilient floor covering material, and a method for using the same to join adjacent pieces of planar material is provided. The seaming tape can include an upper mesh tape portion and a lower blocking tape portion that is narrower in width than the mesh tape portion. The mesh tape portion can further include a pressure-sensitive adhesive to hold the blocking tape portion in position.

A dimensionally stable floor covering comprises a tufted textile substrate and a reinforcement layer attached to the textile substrate. The reinforcement layer includes an adhesive backing compound and reinforcement fibers surrounded by the adhesive backing. The fibers may form a continuous layer on the back side of the floor covering or may be dispersed within the adhesive backing compound. The adhesive backing compound may be hot water-soluble to facilitate recycling of the floor covering. The floor covering may optionally include additional backing layers (including cushions) and may be used as a broadloom carpet, a carpet tile, or other modular floor covering products. Methods of manufacturing, installing, and recycling the present floor coverings are also provided.

Embodiments are directed to collections of flooring tiles, such as carpet tiles, that can include (1) a first group of tiles that has a first uniform appearance, visual field, and/or pattern across the entire tile, (2) a second group of tiles that has a second uniform appearance, visual field and/or pattern across the entire tile, and (3) a third group of tiles that are divided into three portions: a first portion that bears the first visual field, a second portion that bears the second visual field, and a third portion generally interposed between the first portion and the second portion and that has an appearance different from both the first and the second visual field. Tiles from the collections can be installed to create a desired appearance on a floor.

A carpet pile seam roller includes handle and a roller, the roller attached to the handle. The handle includes a first recess adapted to receive at least a first portion of a first hand of a user, and a second recess adapted to receive at least a first portion of a second hand of a user.

A carpet seaming iron comprising a heater plate arranged for contact with at least one of carpet seaming tape and carpet, and at least one electrical heating element in thermal communication with a heater plate. The carpet seaming iron may be cordless and comprise a battery in the form of a rechargeable battery.

A carpet stretcher comprising: a head mechanism; a tail mechanism; and an elongate extender; wherein the head mechanism is connected to a distal end of the elongate extender, and the tail mechanism is connected to a proximal end of the elongate extender; and wherein: the head mechanism comprises: a head element having a carpet engaging surface; an extension element for extending the elongate extender at its distal end so as to urge the head element distally; and a lever mechanism for actuating the extension element; characterised in that the tail mechanism comprises a tail element having a carpet engaging surface.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.
