A method and system for the production of a web the fibers of which form a mean angle with respect to the longitudinal direction. The method and system include the passage of the web through a looping system, the passing of the web over a conveyor provided with brushes, the deposition of a first pre-needle-punched layer of fibers over the accumulated undulations, the assembling of the accumulated undulations with the first pre-needle-punched layer by needling, the assembling of the structure with a second pre-needle-punched layer of fibers, so as to obtain a sandwich structure, and the separation of the sandwich structure so as to obtain two symmetrical velour coverings. The web is a card web with a mean angle between 5 and 10° and an area density between 80 and 120 g/m. The method includes a longitudinal drawing of the web, with a stretch ratio between 1.5 and 2.

The invention concerns a method for making meshed textile products from fibres and/or filaments moving past in the form of a web. The method involves subjecting the fibres and/or filaments to transverse looping with joint drawing by means of an assembly including a set of interpenetrating identical looping discs spaced apart and located on a common transverse axis with a set of identical looping elements, the looping discs having on their periphery relatively spaced apart teeth; accumulating the fibres and/or filaments in the form of at least a crinkled pseudo-yarn of a certain length wherein the fibres and/or filaments are paralleled, the accumulation of the fibres and/or filaments being carried out against the slope of a tooth opposite the input of the web; transferring into the eye of the set of needles over the entire length of the pseudo-yarn; and carrying out in standard manner another fabric course using the pseudo-yarn transferred into the eye of the needles.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a textile product of the lapped/bonded type from fibers and/or filaments travelling in the direction of advance in the form of a web, this method comprising at least one step, called the &ldquo;prelooping step&rdquo;, in which the fibers and/or filaments individually undergo looping transversely to the direction of advance of the web, if appropriate accompanied by transverse drawing, characterized in that it subsequently comprises a step of confining the parallelized fibers and/or filaments in the form of loops, this latter confining step taking place directly on a support, without transport members, such as needles or transfer elements, being involved.
