| 20110237147 | Textile fiber batting substitution for foam structures - A textile cushioning batting for use in furniture and the like having a high degree of loft and rebound is disclosed comprising: a non-woven blended batting comprising a major portion of a fine denier fiber and a minor portion of a coarse denier fiber. The fibers have increased crimping amplitudes, secondary crimping, sharper crimp and optimized crimps per inch. A low melt binds fiber binding the fine and coarse denier fibers together in the batting; and a sufficient number of the fibers being heat are bonded together at their intersections to provide a high loft resilient batting for cushioning. | 09-29-2011 |
