Abstract
Abstract An antistatic and/or electrically conductive floor covering which comprises a sheet of a thermoplastic synthetic resin which is substantially electrically non-conductive, said sheet having a plurality of holes penetrating therethrough and electrically conductive material filling said holes with one side of the sheet being coated with said conductive material so that the materials in each of said holes are connected to one another.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A process for the production of a floor covering of a thermoplastic synthetic resin having a paste containing conductive material incorporated therein in the form of a plurality of thread-like projections connected together, which comprises heating a thermoplastic resin sheet to a temperature of between 40° and 60° C; punching holes that penetrate completely through the heated sheet; applying a paste containing a conductive material and plasticized synthetic resin to one side of the heated sheet so that the paste penetrates into the holes; and then heating the sheet to above 60° C. from the side where the paste has been applied, whereby, due to the contraction of the holes in the hotter zone, the paste is forced through to the other side of the sheet to form said thread-like projections within said holes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A process for the production of a floor covering of a thermoplastic synthetic resin having a paste containing conductive material incorporated therein in the form of a plurality of thread-like projections connected together, which comprises heating a thermoplastic resin sheet to a temperature of between 40° and 60° C; punching holes that penetrate completely through the heated sheet; applying a paste containing a conductive material and plasticized synthetic resin to one side of the heated sheet so that the paste penetrates into the holes; and then heating the sheet to above 60° C. from the side where the paste has been applied, whereby, due to the contraction of the holes in the hotter zone, the paste is forced through to the other side of the sheet to form said thread-like projections within said holes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The process of claim 1, in which the paste is applied to both sides of the hole-permeated, heated sheet and is forced through the holes by contraction due to the heating step, and the sheet is finally separated in the middle of its thickness.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1, in which the thermoplastic resin includes polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, and copolymers of vinyl chloride and copolymers of olefins.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1, in which the electrically conductive material within said paste comprises particles of carbon black, conductive metals, conductive metal compounds, or graphite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1, in which the paste cotains from 5 to 14% by weight of said conductive material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1, in which the synthetic resin contained in said paste is the same as the synthetic resin forming said thermoplastic sheet.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 6, in which the synthetic resin is polyvinyl chloride.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1, in which said floor covering has a thickness of from 1 to 3 mm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
The process of claim 1, in which a plurality of said holes are punched completely through the heated sheet by piercing the sheet with a plurality of needles, whereby said holes are produced by displacement of the thermoplastic synthetic resin in the zones of said holes.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1, in which the paste contains from about 50 to 70% by weight of plasticizer and about 40 to 20% by weight of synthetic resin.
