Abstract

To reduce the required number of quilt sizes corresponding to the commerically available bed dimensions, this quilt is equipped with pull-through ribbons which are inserted in tunnels, alternate with cottonwool-filled chambers which permit gathering of the quilt and thus adaptation of the basic sizes to the existing piece of lying and sitting furniture. The quilt is held in any desired gathered state by means of looping of the pull-through ribbons and the small transverse ribbons sewn into the tunnels, which prevent the pull-through ribbons from slipping away. The multiplicity of possible uses and visually attractive variations in conjunction with relatively inexpensive range production and storage constitute an innovation in international quilt production.

Description

The invention relates to a duvet, characterized by a square basic shape, alternating chamber / tunnel principle and gathering by means of drawstrings, which varies the size and function of the use of the duvet ( Fig. 1 and 2).

It is known that duvets are only available in fixed dimensions to be produced. That is why national and international national markets the duvet the respective norm and extra sizes of the beds can be adjusted. For the Industry means high manufacturing costs.

The invention is based on the task of diversity the duvet dimensions by a changeable basic dimension cover up.

This object is achieved in that in the bedspread Tunnels with drawstrings are incorporated using whose duvet is gathered and thus changed can (see claim 1).

The further design lies in the cross band incorporated in the tunnel and the formation of loops in the through band, which prevents it from slipping in when the duvet is gathered (see subclaim 2) ( Figs. 2.1.2 and 2.3.)

The advantages achieved with the invention are, in particular, that all commercially available sizes can be covered with a duvet size and a specific gathering around the bed edges prevents the duvet from slipping ( Fig. 4.1.4.1.). In addition, the gathering offers a visual appeal and uses that go beyond the bed, such as B. on all types of seating and reclining furniture ( Fig. 4.3. And 4.4.).

The making of a duvet collection and its Warehousing becomes considerably cheaper.  

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings Fig. 1 to 4 and are described in more detail below.

The base of the bedspread, square or rectangle (I), consists of an alternating sequence of tunnels (a.) Made of fabric for the drawstrings and cotton chambers filled with cotton wool (b.) (II).

Pure wool, Down, synthetic wadding, etc. are used by which gives the duvet its warming effect.

The drawstrings or cords run through the tunnels are used to gather and thus reduce or deform the surface ( Fig. 2). Depending on the degree of gathering, the duvet can be used for any bed size ( Fig. 4). The maximum size of the duvet is identical to its base. The gathering principle is not only used to vary the base in the transverse and longitudinal directions, but also to adapt to different plastic shapes such as. B. sofa, armchair, bed with headboard and other seating and reclining furniture ( Fig. 4).

As described under point (I), the base consists of a square or rectangle. The square as a shape is ideal because the sides are the same and the duvet can be used lengthways and crossways. In the case of a rectangle, however, this option is restricted ( Fig. 3).

The base area is as in point (II) in chambers and tunnels that line up. The The number of tunnels is decisive in relation to the Function and for evenly gathering the duvet. The optimal division with a basic dimension of (example) 245 cm × 245 cm are 6-8 chambers and thus  7-9 tunnels, opposite 3-5 chambers where one functional gathering is not guaranteed or 9-15 and more chambers where the gathering becomes too strong and also increase the production costs of the blanket would.

The width of the chambers and the way in which they are strung together can also become a design principle if, instead of the same width chambers, as can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2, non-uniform widths are used and they are creatively arranged, e.g. B. Figs. 3.6 to 3.8.

Due to the type of assembly, the top and bottom are the structure of the duvet is the same. For the design, d. H. optical design of the Duvet can be different on both sides be designed.

A ready-made example of the invention for a square basic shape with the dimensions 245 cm × 245 cm and 8 chambers is shown in the drawing Fig. I to X and is described in more detail below.

• Required materials
• - approx. 600 cm × 250 cm fabric,
• - 45 m drawstring or cord,
• - 45 cm band for the cross ribbons,
• - 250 cm diagonal stripes,
• - sewing thread,
• - 250 cm × 250 cm fleece or wadding for the filling.
• Cutting
• - 18 a . Strips 5 cm × 247 cm
• - 16 b. -Strip 25 cm × 247 cm
• - 9 drawstrings 5 m
• - 9 cross ribbons 5 cm
• - 8 cotton strips 23 cm × 245 cm.  
• Sewing instructions
• I. a. - and b. - Neaten the strips on one side of the head, ie fold them down and topstitch ( Fig. I).
• II.2 a. - Place strips and a cross ribbon ( Fig. II) on top of each other and stitch together with 1 cm seam allowance.
• III. Unfold the strips and turn them over so that the seam allowance and the cross band are on the inside ( Fig. III).
• IV. Insert the conveyor belt so that it is double between the a. - The strip lies and is led around the cross ribbon ( Fig. IV).
• V. The sewn together a. -Strip with drawstring between 2 b. - Place strips so that the open sides of the a. -Strip flush with the b. -Lay the strips on top of each other and stitch them together with 1 cm seam allowance ( Fig. V).
• VI. The b. - Fold the strips over so that the seam allowance is on the inside and this in turn is flush between 2 a. - Place strips with cross ribbons, as in point II ( Fig. VI). Stitch the strips together again and proceed as described under point III.
• VII. In turn, a. Strips and b. -Strip as sewn together under point II to VI, so that tunnels and chambers are created. Attention: The cross ribbons are only between the a. Strips inserted. The conclusion is 2 a. - Stripes with sewn-in cross ribbons and inserted drawstring that are stitched together as Fig. VII.
• VIII. Pull cotton strips or filler into the chambers ( Fig. VIII).
• IX. The chambers on the overcast A side of the bedspread, ie the side where the a. - and b. - Stripes are stitched over, close with a stitching ( Fig. IX).
• X. Clean the open D- side of the bedspread with a bias tape, which also fastens the pull-through tapes.
