A method of applying an elongate strip of pile fabric to a carpet intended to simulate grass playing surface or grass.

摘要

The invention relates to a method of applying an elongate strip of fill-in material to a carpet adapted to simulate a grass playing surface and wherein the pile of the carpet comprises strips, filaments or threads of synthetic material, comprising the steps of reducing the height of the pile in an elongate path in the carpet surface to form a channel in said pile and inserting in said channel a strip of the fill-in material substantially to occupy the channel and restore the original overall height of the pile. Conveniently, the fill-in material is a strip of pile fabric of a colour which contrasts with the carpet and forms a demarcation line. Alternatively the channel may be formed along a join in the carpet and the strip is of the same colour to mask the join.
