Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure for manufacturing a mattress cover with a padded outer layer and a gusset, and a mattress cover manufactured thereby.
  • the mattress panels are attached to the side bands by means of a seam that is concealed by a fabric edging tape that simultaneously joins and covers the join between the two component parts: this solution determines a tension on the surface of the mattress panels.
  • steps include first preparing the gusset 4, the fabric 5 of which has to be coupled with a padding material 6 (generally similar to the material comprising the side band 2), folded in two parts 7 and 8, with a seam 9 stitched along the fold ( figures 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ).
  • a padding material 6 generally similar to the material comprising the side band 2
  • the resulting gusset is then measured and cut into four portions A, B, C, D, two of which C, D, correspond approximately to the lengthwise dimensions of the mattress, and two A, B, correspond approximately to the width of the mattress ( fig. 3 ).
  • each portion must be cut to form a 45° angle so that, when placed at a 90° angle with respect to another portion, at their point of contact E, they can be matched with the other portions without leaving any excess material: the joins between the four portions of gusset coincide with the corners of the mattress. In practical terms, the joining of the four portions of gusset gives rise to a frame that has the same dimensions as the mattress.
  • the upper part 10 of the gusset 4 is attached to the mattress panel, then the lower part 11 of the gusset 4 is attached to the side band 2 by means of a seam 3, concealed with edging tape, all around the perimeter ( fig. 1 ).
  • this known method for manufacturing mattresses with a gusset and a padded surface layer on the mattress panel calls for highly-skilled workers and carries the risk of reducing the life of the mattress. It also has another drawback in common with traditional mattresses, in that the mattress panels are never perfectly flat; instead, where they are joined 12 to the side band, they become a few centimetres lower because of the tension generated at the interface between the side band and the mattress panels: see figure 4 , showing the difference 13 between the height at the centre 11 and at the edge 12 of the mattress.
  • US-A-5782190 discloses a method for the assembly of a pillow-top mattress cover, in which the gusset for the pillow-top mattress cover is prepared in a single step in which the gusset material is folded longitudinally, and the flange material is attached thereto and the gusset material is sewn together in one stitch. Thereafter, the gusset is attached to each of the top and bottom panels of the cover along its outer edge. Each gusset is secured to the underside of its associated top or bottom panel at the folded edge using a blind stitch which is not visible externally of the panel.
  • the object of the present invention is a procedure for manufacturing a mattress cover with a padded surface layer and a gusset, and a mattress cover
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a procedure for manufacturing a mattress cover, said mattress cover comprising at least one mattress panel, a side band and at least one gusset joining said mattress panel to said side band, comprising the following steps:
  • Another object of the present invention is a device for implementing the procedure according to any of the previous claims, characterized in that it comprises:
  • the procedure according to the present invention involves concentrating the previously-described steps forming part of the known state of the art into a single step, i.e.
  • the mattress panel may not necessarily be padded, it may consist of fabric alone.
  • the result is a quilted panel 1' with the gusset 14 attached to its underside all around its perimeter by means of a seam 15 for attaching the gusset that is also visible on the upper side, forming a contour in the mattress panel that lies a constant distance away from its edge corresponding to approximately the width of the underlying folded gusset.
  • This "visible” seam also makes it possible to avoid what was previously unavoidable, i.e. the curvature of the mattress panel. In fact, where this seam is made between the mattress panel and the gusset, the thickness of any padding is reduced to a few millimetres due to the effect of the through stitching.
  • the parts 16 around the edge of the quilted panel, particularly the outermost part 17, all around the perimeter of the mattress can even rise towards the inner part of the panel 1', because they are no longer restricted, thus avoiding the above-described problem of the mattress sloping away at its edges.
  • the gusset according to the invention can be achieved by coupling the fabric used for lining the mattress (on the outer side) with a backing material (a fabric, nonwoven, PVC, polyurethane or other material suitable for the purpose) of suitable thickness, which may also be considerably less than the one used in the previously-described known procedures.
  • a backing material a fabric, nonwoven, PVC, polyurethane or other material suitable for the purpose
  • the gusset according to the invention can be achieved using a different fabric from the one used for lining the mattress, e.g. a heavy fabric, in a single layer, instead of being coupled to a backing material.
  • any backing material can be done using adhesives, heat, ultrasound methods or simply by stitching straight seams along the length of the strip of fabric, or by any other means suitable for keeping the two (or more) materials joined together.
  • a sewing machine 20 modified according to the present invention, comprises a head 21 fitted with a straight needle 22 that performs a vertical reciprocating movement to stitch seams.
  • the internal components of the machine can be made according to the known state of the art.
  • the sewing machine 20 comprises guiding means 23 consisting of the following elements:
  • the band 14' is passed between the guide rollers 31 and inserted in the opening 30; then the arm 24 is turned so as to bring the saddle 27 into position opposite and juxtaposing the needle 22.
  • the saddle can be fitted with a recess so that it surrounds the area in which the needle punctures the fabric.
  • the band 14' is thus fed through the member 29 so that it emerges from the saddle 27 ready folded in two and opposite the needle.
  • the quilted panel 1' is positioned underneath the needle, so that the folded gusset 14 comes to lie above it, aligned with its outer edge.
  • the sewing machine 20 is operated, making the needle 22 pass through both the gusset 14 and the panel 1', producing the above-described seam 15 in line with the fold in the gusset as the juxtaposed mattress panel and gusset are progressively fed forward.
  • the seam 15 is sewn at a distance from the edge of the panel 1' that approximately corresponds to the width of the side of the folded gusset in contact with the mattress panel.
  • the seam can thus be completed even at the rounded edges of the mattress panel 1', which is generally rectangular in shape, simply by turning the panel through 90°, without interrupting or cutting the gusset 14, but simply making it curve around the panel as it proceeds, obtaining a result as shown in the previously-mentioned figure 5 .
  • the sewing machine 20 can be of the type operated entirely manually, or it can be fitted with suitable automatic or semiautomatic, possibly computer-aided controls. Its automatic control can be implemented in any known manner.
  • the new method for manufacturing a mattress with a padded surface panel is in fact:
