Patent ID: 10655252

Abstract:
A fabric includes a backing fabric having binding warp yarns, weft yarns, and pile warp yarns interlaced with the weft yarns. In a weft receiving opening, one of the weft yarns is positioned at a back side relative to a weft separating warp yarn extending in the backing fabric in the warp direction and the other weft yarn is positioned at the pile side. A pile warp yarn is interlaced with the weft yarn positioned at the back side relative to the weft separating warp yarn to extend out of the backing fabric between this weft yarn and the other weft yarn. In a transition zone, two transition weft yarns provided immediately adjacent to each other in the warp direction extending through a weft receiving opening are positioned at substantially the same level in a direction that is perpendicular with a plane defined by the warp and weft directions and/or are not separated by a weft separating warp yarn.
