FIBERFILL CLUSTERS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240287717 titled 'FIBERFILL CLUSTERS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SAME

The invention provides a discrete fiberfill cluster made up of a plurality of fibers randomly intermingled with each other.

The fiberfill cluster contains 25 to 3600 fibers with a denier of 0.2 to 12.0 and a length of 8 to 160 mm.
The fibers within the cluster are randomly and non-uniformly oriented with respect to each other.
The cluster includes densely populated regions of fibers with a high degree of entanglement, as well as less densely populated regions with a lower degree of entanglement.

Potential Applications: - Bedding and pillows - Upholstery - Insulation materials

Problems Solved: - Provides improved comfort and support in bedding and pillows - Enhances the durability and resilience of upholstery - Increases the thermal efficiency of insulation materials

Benefits: - Enhanced comfort and support - Improved durability and resilience - Increased thermal efficiency

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Fiberfill Cluster Technology for Enhanced Comfort and Durability This technology can be used in the manufacturing of bedding, pillows, upholstery, and insulation materials, catering to the comfort and durability needs of consumers in various industries.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the fiberfill cluster technology improve the comfort of bedding and pillows? 2. What are the advantages of using this technology in insulation materials?

Original Abstract Submitted

the invention provides a discrete fiberfill cluster that is made up of a plurality of fibers that are randomly intermingled with one another. within the plurality of fibers there are 25 to 3600 fibers having a denier of 0.2 to 12.0 and a length of 8 to 160 mm. the plurality of fibers are randomly and non-uniformly oriented with respect to one another. within the discrete fiberfill cluster, there are: one or more relatively densely populated regions of fibers having a first degree of entanglement; and, proximate to at least one of the one or more relatively densely populated regions, one or more relatively less densely population regions of fibers having a second degree of entanglement that is less than the first degree of entanglement.
