2. Description of the Related Art Urethanes, feathers, feathers, cotton or wool, which are excellent in heat retention, hygroscopicity and cushioning properties, have been conventionally used as batting such as futons such as hangers and mats and cold protection.

[0003] Recently, silk which can be applied to the field of bedding and the like has been developed by utilizing raw silk processing technology. As a method of utilizing such silk, a silk thread in which a single cocoon thread is entangled in a cotton-like manner, or silk cotton made of scrap cocoon that cannot be used as raw silk is processed and used as a batting such as a futon, a garment, and a cold protector. I have.

[0004]

In the case where the conventionally used urethane, wool or cotton is used as the batting, the mass production and the production cost are excellent, but the texture and the texture are not always satisfactory. It was not something.

[0005] In addition, a silk thread in which a single cocoon thread is entangled in a cotton-like manner is formed into a hemp-like shape due to the formation of a twisted portion of irregularities during production, so that a high quality texture cannot be obtained. Furthermore, when using cotton wool made from waste cocoons, it does not provide a delicate texture
It was not suitable for use for batting such as futons.

In view of the above points, the inventor of the present invention has studied diligently as a material used for batting, such as futons, clothing, and winterization equipment, which can realize a delicate texture and a luxurious feeling. It has been found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by using the bundle as a batting, and a patent application has been filed for a futon using such batting (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei.
No. 258281). An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing batting, which can easily and surely produce such futons, clothing, and winterization equipment, and a production apparatus used for the method.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a method for producing batting, comprising the steps of: winding a plurality of boiled cocoons and winding the cocoons around a winding frame; And a step of cutting the sewn bundle of cocoon thread.

[0008] The bundle of cocoon thread wound on the winding frame may be sandwiched between two cloths and then subjected to a sewing step.

Further, the batting production apparatus of the present invention comprises a cocoon container for accommodating a plurality of boiled cocoons, an automatic winding device for winding the cocoon in the cocoon container and winding the cocoon around a winding frame. A horizontal shaft installed between the cocoon container and the winding frame, a sewing machine having a long sewing machine for sewing an appropriate portion of the cocoon thread wound on the winding frame, And a set table for cutting the bundle.

[0010] The winding frame can be stretchable in a vertical direction and / or a horizontal direction.

[0011] By the above method and apparatus, batting such as a futon made of a bundle of cocoon filaments having excellent heat retention, moisture absorption and cushioning properties can be easily and reliably produced. In other words, such batting separates cocoons of long fibers one by one,
It is arranged in a continuous state from end to end of the futon etc., so there is an appropriate space between the yarns, excellent heat insulation, and since the cocoon yarns are independent one by one, they are twisted or twisted Or worry about it. Furthermore, since the cocoon thread itself contains sericin, it has a moderate elasticity and waist, it can reduce thread cutting during the use period, and can effectively exhibit the original advantages of silk, so it is different from feathers etc. Luxury feeling is obtained.

[0012] Further, since the cocoon thread bundle as the produced batting is sewn at appropriate places, there is no fear of fraying.
From the above, the batting produced by the method and apparatus of the present invention can be used not only as bedding, but also as batting, such as throws, wrappers, cushions or pillows, clothing, and winter clothing.
