Definitions

  • the present application relates to an improved joining tape for joining the edge of sheet material, a method of making such a tape and an improved method of joinin carpet or other sheet material.
  • the invention also relates to an improved heating strip fo use in conjunction with a separate joining tape having heat softenable adhesive thereon
  • the application relates to improvements in joinin adjacent edge portions of carpet.
  • Australian Patent No. 464878 describes such a joining tape which consists of layer of heat insulating material such as paper, a layer of metal foil, a joining medium and an upper layer of a ribbon of heat softenable adhesive composition.
  • the joining medium may be filaments, threads, scrim, woven material or the like secured to the tape.
  • Australian Patent No. 529440 describes another such joining tape which consists of a layer of backing paper, such as crepe paper, a strip of metal foil overlying the paper, a layer of reinforcing filaments such as rayon, glass fibre or the like which extend substantially transversely of the tape and one or more beads of adhesive extending longitudinally of the tape overlying the filaments or fibers.
  • the layers may be laminated together or sewn together by one or more lines of stitching.
  • a disadvantage of the above joining tapes is that their strength is not uniform in all directions along the plane of the tape. This is especially the case where reinforcing filaments extend substantially transversely of the tape or in the case of woven reinforcing materials with cross wefts. In practice, such filaments or wefts are spaced such that there may be two or three filaments/wefts per centimeter of the tape. Traffic along the carpet join, such as a person walking on the join, causes the tape to flex and constant flexin causes weakening of the tape, such that the tape is prone to split lengthwise.
  • the heating strip comprises a backing of crepe or kraft paper to which one or two laterally spaced strips of metal foil are sewn using cotton or fiberglass thread.
  • spaced foil strips are electrically shorted at one end by the use of an electrical shorting member so that the circuit can be completed at the other end of the heating strip.
  • a difficulty with the above heating strip is that in use, moisture released by heating of the carpet wets the crepe paper backing and/or the stitching. This causes the backing and the stitching to deteriorate thereby reducing the useful life of the heating strip. Moisture trapped between the backing and the strip also causes corrosion on the side of the metal foil facing the strip.
  • a further difficulty with the strip is that continual heating and reheating results in buckling of the metal foil in the strip. This may be caused by the foil having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion as compared to the relatively inextensible strip to which the foil is inextensibly secured by the stitching. It may be due to the continual uncontrolled rate of heating and cooling which the foil undergoes each time it is used or the uneven heat loss from the foil where parts contact the joining tape. It may be due to the combined effects of the above factors. Irrespective of the cause, the buckling is undesirable as it results in uneven heatin of the separate joining tape and an unsatisfactory join in the carpet. Further, the fo strains against the relatively inextensible stitching producing lines of weakness along th seam lines. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved joining tape whic has more uniform strength in all directions along the plane of the tape.

Abstract

Bande chauffante (30) servant à chauffer une bande de jonction séparée, dotée de colle se ramolissant à la chaleur mais dépourvue d'un élément chauffant intégré. La bande chauffante (30) comprend une feuille métallique (33) ou une paire de bandes latéralement espacées fixées à une bande de matière porteuse (32) telle qu'une maille de fibres de verre. La feuille métallique (33) peut être chauffée jusqu'à la température de ramollissement de la colle se ramollissant à la chaleur. La bande chauffante est fixée à la matière porteuse (32) par un élément de liaison dilatable à ladite température, si bien que la dilatation thermique de la feuille (33) n'est pas entravée. Une couche de matériau isolant (34) est éventuellement prévue pour réguler la vitesse de chauffe ou de refroidissement, et donc la vitesse de dilatation et de retrait de la feuille. On a également prévu une bande de jonction améliorée (10) à éléments chauffants incorporés (14, 15).
