<p>A pile weatherstrip is formed from a multiple-filament yam (11) that is knitted into a tape (10) where the yam lengths extend side-by-side in a direction normal to the length of the tape (10). Side-by-side yarns are held together by stitching (14, 15, 16) to form a coherent tape (10) which is then fed to a connection zone where the tape is formed into a V and the base of the V is welded into a channel (25) on a carrier (20). After welding, the top ends of the V-shaped tape are cut off to form a pile.</p> |
