Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to improvement of down comforters.

Down comforters are particularly popular as comforters because they are soft, lightweight, and have excellent heat retention.However, unlike cotton comforters, the feathers filled inside the comforter do not move easily. easy to do,
For this reason, it is not possible to prevent the feathers from becoming uneven even if the feathers are sewn in appropriate places with thread, as is the case with cotton futons.
Therefore, in conventional down comforters, stitches are added in the shape of a frame or quilted to suppress the movement of the down feathers.

However, although down comforters with this type of embroidery can prevent the feathers from moving and shifting within the comforter, they compress the feathers within the comforter,
The plump and soft feel is reduced, and
Since the feathers cannot move, it is difficult for air to enter, making it impossible to obtain sufficient swelling, and since it is difficult for air to enter, the heat retention properties are also poor.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the feathers be exposed to air as much as possible, and if the feathers are not easily exposed to air, the down comforter will quickly become useless.

In addition, especially in the case of comforters, the thickness of the feathers filled in the skin of the comforter does not need to be uniform; for example, a comforter with a biased area with a larger amount of feathers in the areas that cover the legs or shoulders may be used. You may want to use it as This is suitable for people who are sensitive to cold or dislike cold air entering from their shoulders.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to move and prevent the feathers filled in the futon skin, thereby facilitating the introduction of air into the filled feathers, and
This is a method that artificially causes the feathers to be uneven within the futon skin so that a comforter, etc. can be formed according to the preference of the user and the purpose of use. The present invention is characterized in that a removable fastening mechanism is provided for partially joining the outer fabric and the lining fabric of the futon skin to prevent the movement of the feathers.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows an example of the down comforter method of the present invention applied to a down comforter.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a duvet body, and this duvet body 1 consists of a duvet skin 2 made of woven fabric sewn into a rectangular bag body, and feathers 3 filled in the duvet skin 2, and, The futon skin 2 has a removable fastening mechanism 4 to prevent the feathers 3 filled inside from moving.
are disposed at desired locations, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, in discontinuous lines along the four peripheral edges of the duvet main body 1 and in the direction dividing the duvet main body 1 in its length direction.

The fastening mechanism 4 consists of a hook-and-loop fastener 5 having a desired length, and the hook-and-loop fastener 5 is sewn to the opposing inner surfaces of the outer fabric 2a and the lining fabric 2b that constitute the futon 2, as shown in FIG. By engaging these hook-and-loop fasteners 5, 5 with each other, the outer fabric 2a and the lining fabric 2b are partially combined, and thereby the futon skin 2
The movement of the inner feathers 3 is restrained.

Therefore, by grasping the outer fabric 2a and the lining fabric 2b with your fingertips or the like and pulling them apart from each other and peeling off the fastening mechanism 4, that is, the hook-and-loop fasteners 5, 5, the deterrent function of the feathers 3 is released. The feathers 3 can be moved freely within the futon cover 2. This facilitates the introduction of air into the filling feathers 3,
In addition, the elastic restoration of the feathers 3 is facilitated to ensure the light and fluffy expansion restoration which is a feature of the down comforter, and it is particularly suitable when drying the comforter in the shade, and the lifespan of the feathers can be maintained for a long time. In addition, air can be easily mixed into the down comforter, and it is easy to keep the down comforter inflated, so when the down comforter is displayed in a show window or in a store, it is more attractive than other products. It can give a good impression to customers.

Figure 3 shows a case where the feathers are artificially uneven according to the user's preference or purpose of use. The amount of feathers is increased to make it suitable for people who are sensitive to cold, and in this case, a part of the feathers 3 in the other part 1b is artificially inserted into the futon skin 2 of the part 1a that covers the feet of the comforter body 1. After that, the fastening mechanism 4 located at the boundary between the portions 1a and 1b is coupled, and the fastening mechanism 4 of the other portion 1b is also coupled to fix the movement of the feathers within each portion. In such a state, the thickness and weight of the part 1a that covers the foot become larger than the other parts 1b, and accordingly, the heat retention of the part 1a increases,
It can be used as a blanket suitable for people who are sensitive to cold.

That is, the fastening mechanism 4 for suppressing the movement of the feathers.
By making the feathers removable and allowing the feathers to be moved artificially, it is possible to give the quilt a function that suits the user's preference or purpose of use.

In the above embodiment, the case where the fastening mechanism 4 is made of a hook-and-loop fastener has been described, but the fastening mechanism 4 is not limited to this, and a snap, a hook, etc. may also be used.
The form of fastening by these fastening mechanisms 4 is not limited to the discontinuous linear form as in the embodiment, but may be a continuous linear form or a dotted form. Further, it goes without saying that the method according to the present invention is not limited to down comforters, but can be similarly applied to mattresses, seat cushions, and the like.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fastening mechanism 4 is sewn directly to the futon, but it is also possible to
It is possible to attach it via other base members or connecting materials such as strings.

As described above, according to the present invention, a removable fastening mechanism is provided for restraining the movement of feathers by partially joining the outer fabric and lining fabric of the futon at a desired location on the inner surface of the futon. Therefore, if the fastening mechanism is left open, the feathers inside the futon skin can be moved freely or artificially, which makes it easier to introduce air into the filled feathers, and the feathers and air can be moved freely. This is very good for the feathers, as the contact with the feathers improves, the elasticity of the feathers is restored, and the swelling caused by drying the down comforter in the shade can be made more effective and larger, which is also very good for the feathers.

Furthermore, if the fastening mechanism is left open, the feathers inside the futon skin can be moved arbitrarily, which causes the feathers inside the futon skin to be artificially shifted, which may cause the down comforter to be used by people who are sensitive to cold, etc. the preferences of those who
It has the effect of being able to modify the futon to be suitable for the purpose of use.
