CARPET PAD

Abstract

A carpet pad includes a top hook layer and a bottom anti-slip layer. An upper surface of the hook layer is provided with protruding monofilaments in a bent shape. Top ends of the protruding monofilaments are provided with bumps formed by melting/softening and then cooling the protruding monofilaments. The protruding monofilaments on the hook layer are heat-treated to make their top ends melted/softened into the small bumps. The heat-treated protruding monofilaments have a certain degree of curvature and inclination, and thus can firmly hook with various carpets above and provide a large friction force, in particular in a vertical direction. The length and density of the protruding monofilaments are reasonably designed to make the protruding monofilaments well hook and lock with the carpet above. In addition, the protruding monofilaments touch soft, and the bumps are not prickly.

The test results were 52.128 Newton, 52.128 Newton, and 53.252 Newton.

[0118] 3. A 30 cm?30 cm heat-treated carpet pad in Embodiment 1 was overlapped with a 30 cm?30 cm knitted fabric. The overlapped fabric was rolled twice with a 6 kg roller, and was subjected to three upward peel force tests by a tensile testing machine. The test results were 5.258 Newton, 5.587 Newton, and 6.487 Newton, respectively.

[0119] 4. A 30 cm?30 cm anti-slip adhesive cushion provided by Chinese Patent Application CN201921334346. X was overlapped with a 30 cm?30 cm knitted fabric.

[0126] A 30 cm?30 cm heat-treated carpet pad in Comparative Example 2 and a carpet surface layer were overlapped with each other, and were moved back and forth by a hand. Due to the small height of the protruding monofilaments, the hooking effect of the protruding monofilaments on the carpet was poor.

[0127] A 30 cm?30 cm heat-treated carpet pad in Comparative Example 3 and a carpet surface layer were overlapped with each other, and were moved back and forth by a hand. The protruding monofilaments were too thin to support and fix the carpet.
