ABSTRACT:
A reinforced composite backing tape for securing adjoining straight edges of textile sheets, and particularly, but not exclusive, for interconnecting abutting edges of carpet pieces. The backing tape comprises an elongated reinforced backing sheet having opposed elongated parallel edges. A plurality of spaced apart, transversely disposed, rigid stabilizing bars are immovably retained over a top surface of the backing sheet. The bars are formed from a material capable of providing resistance to bending forces to provide resistance against the tape folding along an elongated seam defined along the abutting edges of the carpet pieces connected thereto to prevent carpet peaking along the abutting edges. A thermo-meltable adhesive material is disposed over the top surface of the tape and the bars to adhesively secure the tape to edge surface portions of backing material of the carpet pieces.
