Briefly, this method is to measure the height of a certain amount (30 ± 0.1 g) of a feather placed in a cylinder having an inner diameter of 290 ± 1 mm in mm. Therefore, the larger the value is, the less the feather is likely to be shifted. That is, since the value of the bulkiness is 165 mm or more, there is an effect that the feathers filled in the inner bag are not easily shifted.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a washable down comforter 1 according to an example of the present invention. In appearance, there is no difference from a normal comforter, and the side has a joint 9 between the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3 of the comforter. This joint 9 may be provided with a known opening / closing device such as a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a string and a hook directly on the side outer fabric 2 and the side lining 3 of the comforter, or a central opening / closing device using a three-dimensional gusset. May be attached. There is a seam 21 on each surface of the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3. This seam 21 sewes the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3 with the three-dimensional gusset 4 and arranges the inner bag 8 with feathers. It is not formed by quilting the side facing material and the side lining and the wadding together to fix the wadding found in the prior art. As the material of the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3, either synthetic fiber or natural fiber may be used, and it is preferable to use a material that has a low shrinkage ratio due to washing and has a quick drying property.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 3, the interior of the comforter 1 is divided into a plurality of chambers 5 by a three-dimensional gusset 4 sewn to the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3. In each of the chambers 5, a middle bag 8 containing feathers is arranged, but the middle bag 8 is omitted in FIG. The three-dimensional gusset 4 is provided so that each chamber 5 has a certain shape such as a quadrilateral. For example, in FIG. 2, there are two solid gussets parallel to the vertical direction, while there are three solid gussets parallel to the horizontal direction. Therefore, since the vertical direction is divided into three rows and the horizontal direction is divided into four rows, the number of chambers in which the inner bag 8 with feathers is arranged is twelve. Note that the number of three-dimensional gusset rows and the number of rooms are not limited to such a configuration, and may be arbitrary. The material of the three-dimensional gusset 4 may be the same or different from the material of the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3. Preferably, a mesh material or a knitted material is used because air can flow easily.
[0013]
The three-dimensional gusset 4 defining the chamber 5 has an opening / closing opening 6, and by opening / closing the opening / closing opening 6, the inner bag 8 with feathers is taken in and out. In the case where the chamber 5 is formed by the four gussets 4, the opening / closing port 6 is provided in at least two gussets 4. When the chamber 5 is formed by two or three solid gussets 4 (when the chamber 5 is formed by the solid gusset 4 and the side edge), at least one solid gusset 4 is opened and closed. A mouth 6 is provided. In short, the opening / closing port 6 is provided so that the inner bag 8 with feathers arranged in each chamber 5 can be taken in and out through the opening / closing port 6. The opening and closing port 6 may be configured in any manner as long as it can be opened and closed. Specifically, a known opening and closing tool such as a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a string or a hook is provided. Can be opened and closed. In addition, in this invention, what consists of the side outer material 2 and the side lining 3, and the three-dimensional gusset 4 sewn on these is called a side material.

As the engagement means B, a conventionally known engagement tool such as a hook, a string or a hook-and-loop fastener tape may be used. Although the location where the engagement means B is provided is a position near the opening / closing port 6 in FIG. 3, other locations may be used. For example, it may be provided on the three-dimensional gusset 4 where the opening 6 is not provided. When the engaging means B is a string or a hook-and-loop fastener tape, the shape may be a tape shape as shown in FIG. 3 or another shape such as a loop shape. In the case of a hook, the hook may be provided directly on the three-dimensional gusset 4, or a hook may be provided on this string via a string.
[0015]
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the inner bag 8 with feathers used in the present invention. The inner bag 8 with feathers is formed by filling the bag with feathers having a bulkiness of 165 mm or more. The reason why the bulkiness of the feather is set to 165 mm or more is that the feather is hardly shifted in the bag as described above. As the material of the bag, any material can be adopted, but in particular, it is preferable to use a clogged fabric in order to prevent the feather from scattering to the outside. Further, it is preferable to apply quilting 22 to the inner bag 8 containing feathers to fix the feathers. The method, form, number, and the like of the quilting 22 may be appropriately determined depending on the type of feather. Instead of the quilting 22, a three-dimensional gusset formed on the side ground may be provided, and each chamber may be filled with feathers.
[0016]
The inner bag 8 with feathers is provided with an engagement means A. As the engagement means A, a conventionally known engagement tool such as a hook, a string or a hook-and-loop fastener tape may be used.

The position where the engagement means A is provided is generally the edge of the inner bag 8 with feathers as shown in the figure, but is not limited to this position. In addition, the shape and the way of providing the engaging means A are also arbitrary as long as they can engage with the engaging means B. For example, the engaging means A shown in FIG. 4 has a string formed as a loop, and the loop is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener tape as the engaging means B provided on the three-dimensional gusset 4 (this hook-and-loop fastener tape is a single-sided After passing through, the hook-and-loop fastener tapes are looped and overlapped and crimped, so that the engaging means A and B can be engaged.
[0017]
The inner bag 8 with feathers may be provided with an engaging means C together with the engaging means A. As the engaging means C, a conventionally known engaging tool such as a hook, a string, or a hook-and-loop fastener tape may be used. In short, any means that engages with the engaging means A may be used. Good. The position where the engaging means C is provided is generally the edge of the inner bag 8 with feathers facing the position where the engaging means A is provided as shown in the figure, but is not limited to this position. is not. In addition, the shape and the method of providing the engaging means C are also arbitrary as long as they can engage with the engaging means A.
[0018]
When the engagement means A and C are provided in the feather-containing inner bag 8 as described above, the feather-containing inner bags 8 arranged in the respective chambers 5 can be engaged with each other. That is, the engaging means A of the middle bag 8 with feathers arranged in the chamber 5 and the engaging means C of the middle bag 8 with feathers arranged in the chamber 5 adjacent to the chamber 5 can be engaged. Since this engagement is performed through the three-dimensional gusset 4, it is necessary to provide the three-dimensional gusset 4 with a gap 7 through which the engagement means A and / or C can pass. The shape of the gap 7 is arbitrary, and may be any shape as long as the engaging means A and / or C can pass therethrough. In addition, the position where the gap 7 is provided may be an arbitrary position of the three-dimensional gusset 4, and may be provided, for example, at a corner of the three-dimensional gusset 4 as illustrated.
