Carpet Structures

Carpet Structures

Double wefting face to face weaving represents the principal method of producing self color,all -over cut pile carpets which after separation by the knife become structurally identical with those produced by the wire insertion method.Any constructions described in connection with the latter method can be used although the too-short structure is mainly employed,as depicted in the figure.All the healds are tappet controlled;the chain or ground ends are operated alternately two up,two down in each cloth,the stuffer yarns one down one up whilst the pile threads oscillate between the two cloths and are anchored around alternate picks in each fabrics.

Similar qualities can be made to those described with regard to carpets produced by the wire insertion method.Frequently high twist yarns are employed for the pile which have the merit of yielding carpets which are not only hard wiring and resilient but also less prone to show furniture marks, etc

Production rate of the face to face system compares very favorably with the wire loom.weaving identical quality body width carpeting in a too-short structure the face to face loom will produce 105 horizontal rows of tufts per minute as oppose to 55 by the wire loom.Similar proportional advantage is retained in broad loom weaving.
