Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour la fabrication d'un tapis ayant un effet vintage ou d'apparence usé. L'invention se rapporte également au tapis obtenu par l'utilisation du procédé de l'invention.The present invention relates to a method for producing a rug having a vintage effect or worn appearance. The invention also relates to the carpet obtained by using the method of the invention.

Art antérieurPrior art

Un tapis ayant un effet vintage ou une apparence usée est obtenu en soumettant le tapis nouvellement produit à des traitements physiques et/ou chimiques. Ces traitements sont appliqués pour effacer et/ou déteindre, au moins partiellement, la couleur du tapis. Les traitements sont généralement appliqués sur certaines zones du tapis créant ainsi une apparence usée ou vintage.A carpet having a vintage effect or a worn appearance is obtained by subjecting the newly produced carpet to physical and / or chemical treatments. These treatments are applied to erase and / or fade, at least partially, the color of the carpet. Treatments are usually applied to certain areas of the carpet creating a worn or vintage look.

Ledit traitement physique et/ou chimique des tapis prolonge le temps de fabrication dudit tapis, augmente le cout de fabrication et peut aussi présenter des risques de santé si des produits chimiques sont utilisés pour la création de l'apparence usée.Said physical and / or chemical treatment of the mats prolongs the manufacturing time of said carpet, increases the cost of manufacture and may also present health risks if chemicals are used for the creation of the worn appearance.

DE 22 28 837 décrit une étoffe de base pour travaux à la main et tissu de fond pour tapis faits à la main. Dans un tissu de fond normal pour travaux à la main ou pour tapis, on lie au surplus, uniquement dans le sens de la chaine, des fils flottés constitués en un fil autre que celui du tissu de fond. Ces flottés enjambant plusieurs croisements du tissu de fond forment des boucles de différentes longueurs et sont décalés les uns par rapport aux autres. Les flottés, qui ressortent dans la chaîne en divers endroits du tissu de fond, servent au nouage des bouts de fil qui constituent le travail à la main ou le tapis. DE 22 28 837 Describes a basic fabric for handmade and hand-made carpet floor work. In a normal background fabric for handwork or for carpets, only floats made of a yarn other than that of the bottom fabric are bonded in the direction of the warp. These floats spanning several crossings of the bottom fabric form loops of different lengths and are offset with respect to each other. The floats, which stand out in the chain at various places in the bottom fabric, are used to knit the ends of the threads that make up the work in the hand or the carpet.

US 5 343 600 décrit un tissage de tapis oriental qui comprend: a) une pluralité de fils de chaîne placée verticalement sur deux niveaux, l'un directement derrière l'autre; b) une pluralité de fils de trame de base placée horizontalement entre les deux niveaux de fils de chaîne, de façon à être utilisé comme une base solide pour le tapis; et c) une pluralité de fils de trame d'enrobage de brochage décoratifs placée horizontalement avec chaque boucle successivement sur un groupe de deux desdits fils de chaîne sur les deux niveaux, ce qui produit une structure de chaîne continu, de sorte que ledit fil de trame décoratif d'enrobage de brochage alterne avec les fils de trame de base, de manière à former un tapis oriental très fine bien fait. US 5,343,600 discloses an oriental carpet weave which comprises: a) a plurality of warp threads vertically arranged on two levels, one directly behind the other; b) a plurality of basic weft yarns placed horizontally between the two warp thread levels, so as to be used as a solid base for the carpet; and c) a plurality of decorative broach coating weft threads placed horizontally with each loop successively on a group of two of said warp yarns on both levels, thereby producing a continuous warp structure, whereby said warp yarn decorative frame of broaching coating alternates with the basic weft threads, so as to form a very fine oriental carpet well done.

Description des modes de réalisation exemplairesDescription of exemplary embodiments

L'invention concerne un procédé pour la fabrication d'un tapis ayant un effet vintage ou d'apparence usé. L'invention se rapporte également au tapis obtenu par l'utilisation du procédé de l'invention. Le tapis selon un mode de réalisation préféré est pourvu de finitions soignées.The invention relates to a method for producing a rug having a vintage effect or worn appearance. The invention also relates to the carpet obtained by using the method of the invention. The carpet according to a preferred embodiment is provided with neat finishes.

Le terme « liage » est utilisé pour désigner l'entrelacement des fils de trame avec les fils de chaine pour former un tapis.The term "bonding" is used to designate the interlacing of the weft yarns with the warp yarns to form a carpet.

Les termes « zone » et « région » sont utilisés comme synonymes et font référence à une partie de l'une des deux faces du tapis.The terms "zone" and "region" are used as synonyms and refer to part of one of the two faces of the carpet.

Dans un premier aspect, la présente invention fourni un procédé pour la fabrication d'un tapis ayant une apparence usée dans lequel on utilise des fils de chaine et au moins un fil de trame. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes :

  • disposer dans un plan les fils de chaine les uns à côté de l'autre sans chevaucher entre eux, autrement dit parallèles entre eux, formant ainsi un support pour les fils de trame et donc pour le tapis. Les fils de chaines sont de préférence tendus entre les ensouples d'un métier à tisser connu par l'homme de l'art. Le dit métier à tisser peut avoir une forme rectangulaire ou circulaire.
  • insérer et entrelacer lesdits fils de trame à travers lesdits fils de chaine tel que lesdits fils de trame sont positionnées en lignes consécutives et essentiellement perpendiculaires auxdits fils de chaine. Dans une même ligne, les fils de trame sont insérés de façon répétitive et selon un modèle d'insertion prédéfini. Les lignes de fils de trames consécutives peuvent être placées l'une au-dessus de l'autre si le métier à tisser et les fils de chaines sont disposés verticalement par rapport à une personne. Les lignes de fils de trame seront placées l'une à côté de l'autre si le métier à tisser et les fils de chaines sont disposés horizontalement par rapport à une personne.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing a carpet having a worn appearance in which warp yarns and at least one weft yarn are used. The method comprises the following steps:
  • arrange in one plane the warp threads next to each other without overlapping them, in other words parallel to each other, thus forming a support for the weft son and thus for the carpet. The warp yarns are preferably stretched between the beams of a loom known to those skilled in the art. The said loom can have a rectangular or circular shape.
  • inserting and interlacing said weft yarns through said warp yarns such that said weft yarns are positioned in consecutive lines and substantially perpendicular to said warp yarns. In one line, the weft threads are inserted repeatedly and in a predefined insertion pattern. The rows of consecutive weft yarns can be placed one above the other if the loom and the warp yarns are vertically arranged relative to a person. The weft lines will be placed next to each other if the weaving loom and the warp threads are arranged horizontally with respect to one person.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les fils de chaines sont disposés dans au moins deux plan parallèle entre eux. Dans chaque plan, les fils de chaine sont disposés les uns à côté de l'autre sans chevaucher entre eux. Les deux plan forment un support pour les fils de trame et donc pour le tapis.In a preferred embodiment, the warp threads are arranged in at least two planes parallel to each other. In each plane, the warp threads are arranged next to each other without overlapping them. The two planes form a support for the weft son and thus for the carpet.
