Definitions

  • This invention relates to quilting for use in making, for example, quilted garments such as anoraks, coats, waistcoats, or continential quilts or articles of similar nature, such as, pram quilts, baby nests, or sleeping bags.
  • Quilting heretofore has been formed of a filled flexible carcass.
  • One such carcass comprises simply two pieces of cloth material of similar width and length dimensions and having a soft pad of natural or synthetic material located therebetween and held in position by stitching right through .the materials thus closing them together at the stitching points.
  • the two pieces of cloth material have a series of equi-spaced parallel strips of cloth material stitched between said two pieces thus forming with said pieces a cellular structure with the strips serving as panel walls or partitions to compartment the carcass of the quilting.
  • This invention is particularly concerned with quilting of the second carcass type with a row of parallel compartments, but can be applicable to quilting of the first carcass type.
  • the pieces and walls of a second carcass referred to above when fully extended and unfilled, define a row of parallel compartments each having a rectangular cross-section, such compartments then having a determined amount of filling located therein before the ends of the compartments are closed by sewing together the two pieces trapping therebetween the internal walls, then collapsed at the outer ends.
  • the main aim of all these constructions and material is to provide a quilt which insulates the user's body from cold air i.e. a person underneath a quilt is kept warm by trapping his/her own body heat. Since air is a good insulator, then the filling materials are chosen generally to have a high air content (usually implying a filling material or large surface area).
  • An object of the present invention is to provide quilting for which different insulation values under the same given conditions are obtainable depending on which surface of the quilting is uppermost or outermost.
  • quilting of the type stated having a carcass of the second type in which one of the pieces of cloth material has a greater dimension transverse of the compartments than the other piece to give for each compartment opposed sides defined by the two pieces of cloth material different width dimensions, the compartments then having similar determined amounts of filling located therein resulting in a quilting which upon reversal of the surfaces give different insulation values under the same given conditions.
  • each compartment when fully extended is of trapezoidal cross-section.
  • quilting of the type stated having a carcass of the first type in which the soft pad of natural or synthetic material located in each compartment does not fully occupy the compartment adjacent to one surface.
  • quilting of the type stated has a carcass of the second type in which one of the pieces of cloth material has a greater dimension transverse of the compartments than the other to give for each compartment opposed sides defined by the two pieces of cloth material of different width dimensions.
  • each compartment 10 When fully extended and forming, in space, an arcuate appearance as shown in Fig. 1, each compartment 10 has a trapezoidal cross-section in which the opposed sides 11, 12 are parallel and the panel walls 13 are diverging outwardly in the arcuate appearance. Similar determined amounts of filling are then located in the compartments 10. In the case of natural filling material, this can be duck feathers and down, and in the case of synthetic filling material, this can be discrete pieces of foamed or fibrous plastics-material. Also, firmer solid filling 14A can be located in each compartment topped or bottomed by a softer filling 14B of material.described above, and shown in Figs. 4, 5'and 6.
  • This embodiment is particularly for quilting for use as continental quilts and like, and the compartments are arranged to run longitudinally of a bed and of a person using said quilt.
  • a quilt above-described will tend to be stretched across its 'shorter' surface 11 i..e. taut, and lobse across its 'long' surface 12 i.e. loose, thus giving a curved effect.
  • a general explanation of the function of the quilting is that when as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the loose side 12 is outer or uppermost and as the air in the compartments heats, e.g. by body heat, then the air expands and tends to rise.
  • each compartment 10 The design of the each compartment 10 is such that the surface 12 being loose provides the least resistance to this expansion and the maximum volume of air/filling mixture is available for insulation, the top surface 12 bulging upwardly drawing in the panel walls 13 to a parallel or almost parallel state as shown.
  • the quilting is reversed so that the taut surface 11 is outer or uppermost then the converse situation arises.
  • Tension in the top surface tries to flatten the surface 11 and restricts the warm air from expanding upwards and lifting the material.
  • the angle of the panel walls 13 also tends to make the surface 11 collapse due to gravity. The combination of these effects produce a smaller volume for air/filling mixture available for insulation.
  • quilting of the type stated using a carcass of the second type has filling of natural or synthetic material located in each compartment 10 such as not to fully occupy the compartment 10 adjacent to one surface thereby to allow for air expansion as shown in Fig. 4, 5 or 6.
  • the object of this construction is to change the surface area of the filling and hence the amount of trapped air on one side of the quilting, and leave the other side as normal, or change both sides so as to produce an even greater difference in the amount of trapped air, or to allow drape. This is achieved by the following changes or combination of changes in, or construction of the synthetic or natural material by:
  • the top and bottom, inner and outer surface of the pieces of cloth material may be of the same width or of varying widths with respect of each other.
  • quilting of the type stated using a carcass of the first type has a soft pad 16 of synthetic material of same areal dimensions as the two pieces of cloth and having at least one major surface corrugated whereby the compart.- ments when sewn as shown at 15 with tight or loose stitches are not fully occupied by filling thereby leaving an air gap to allow for air expansion and therefore an increase in thermal insulations.
  • Quilting of the second embodiment is particularly used for quilted garments.
