Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the above - described feather futon cover with a storage bag, in order to store the feather futon in the storage bag, an operation of rolling the feather futon along the front - rear direction is required. Since it is necessary to press with both hands from the upper direction of the feather futon toward the lower part of the feather futon and perform the rolling operation while removing air, a problem may occur in that the work burden becomes large.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide bedding and a method for manufacturing bedding that can reduce the work burden of the operation of compacting the bedding.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] (1) The bedding according to the present disclosure comprises a bedding body extending in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, and an attachment extending in the first and second directions and attached to the cover fabric of the bedding body in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions. The attachment has a first connecting portion located on one side of the second direction when viewed from a reference line passing through the center of the attachment and extending in the first direction, and a second connecting portion located on the other side of the second direction when viewed from the reference line. The first connecting portion is folded with respect to the reference line when the bedding body is placed on the attachment, and is detachably connected to the second connecting portion when the bedding body is housed in the attachment.

[0007] In this bedding, the bedding body can be placed on the attachment in a third direction, and the attachment can be folded while housing the bedding body within it. The first connecting part is located on one side of the second direction relative to the reference line, and the second connecting part is located on the other side. The attachment is folded relative to the reference line, and the first connecting part is detachably connected to the second connecting part. Therefore, when the attachment is folded relative to the reference line with the bedding body placed on it, the first connecting part can be connected to the second connecting part while housing the bedding body within the attachment. This allows the bedding body to be housed within the attachment. As a result, it becomes unnecessary to roll up or compress the bedding, thus reducing the workload involved in making the bedding more compact. Furthermore, this bedding can be used as a cushion when the bedding body is housed within it.

[0008] (2) In (1) above, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion may constitute a first fastener extending in the first direction. In this case, the attachment containing the bedding body is opened and closed by the first fastener, so the attachment can be closed easily and securely.

[0009] (3) In (1) or (2) above, the attachment may further have fastening members provided at each of the ends of the attachment in the first direction. The fastening member may have a bag portion extending in the second direction and a string portion passed through the bag portion. When the string portion is pulled while the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, the fastening member may fasten the openings formed at each of the ends of the attachment in the first direction. In this case, the opening formed by the attachment accommodating the bedding body can be fastened by pulling the string portion. This allows the bedding body to be bundled together, making the bedding even more compact. Also, since the opening is fastened, the bedding body can be hidden. Therefore, the appearance of the compacted bedding is improved.

[0010] (4) In any of (1) to (3) above, the attachment may be sewn to the cover fabric of the bedding. The internal space defined by the attachment and the cover fabric may be filled with stuffing. In this case, the stuffing filled in the internal space defined by the attachment and the cover fabric can enhance the heat retention of the bedding.

[0011] (5) In any of (1) to (4) above, the bedding body may have a third connecting part located on one side in the second direction when viewed from the reference line, and a fourth connecting part located on the other side in the second direction when viewed from the reference line. The third connecting part may be detachably connected to the fourth connecting part when the bedding body is folded. In this case, the third connecting part can be connected to the fourth connecting part by folding the bedding body, so that the bedding body can be kept in a folded state. This makes it possible to easily store the bedding body in the attachment part.

[0012] (6) In (5) above, the third and fourth connecting parts may constitute a second fastener extending in the first direction. The length of the second fastener in the first direction may be shorter than the length of the bedding body in the first direction. In this case, when the bedding body is folded and the third connecting part is connected to the fourth connecting part, an open part is formed at the end of the tubular bedding body in the first direction, which is the part where the bedding body is not connected to each other. In this case, the tubular bedding body can be used as a sleeping bag, and the open part can be the part where the user's head is exposed. In this way, the bedding can be used not only as bedding and a cushion, but also as a sleeping bag.

[0013] (7) The method for manufacturing bedding according to this disclosure is any of the methods for manufacturing bedding described in (1) to (6). The method for manufacturing bedding comprises the steps of attaching an accessory to the first outer fabric of the bedding body and sewing the first outer fabric with the accessory attached to the second outer fabric of the bedding body.

[0014] In this bedding manufacturing method, the attachment is first attached to the first outer fabric, and then the first outer fabric is sewn to the second outer fabric. Since the attachment is attached to the first outer fabric before the second outer fabric is sewn to the first outer fabric, it is possible to avoid accidentally sewing the attachment and the first outer fabric together as one unit to the second outer fabric. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] The following describes embodiments of the bedding and the method for manufacturing the bedding according to this disclosure, with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted as appropriate. For the sake of ease of understanding, some parts of the drawings may be simplified or exaggerated, and the dimensional ratios, etc., are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0018] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the bedding 1 according to this embodiment. Figure 2 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the bedding 1. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along line III-III in Figure 1. The bedding 1 can be used as a comforter when unfolded and as a cushion when compacted. The bedding 1, for example, takes the shape of a candy when used as a cushion (also referred to as a candy cushion). The bedding 1 comprises a bedding body 2 and an accessory part 3.

[0019] The bedding body 2 extends in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1. The bedding body 2 has thickness in a third direction D3 that intersects the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The bedding body 2 has a rectangular shape. The first direction D1 is the longitudinal direction of the bedding body 2. The second direction D2 is the short direction of the bedding body 2. The internal space V1 of the bedding body 2 is filled with stuffing C1.

[0020] The bedding body 2 has a first bedding side 2a located at one end of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1, and a second bedding side 2b located at the other end of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1. The first bedding side 2a and the second bedding side 2b extend in the second direction D2. The bedding body 2 has a third bedding side 2c located at one end of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2, and a fourth bedding side 2d located at the other end of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2. The third bedding side 2c and the fourth bedding side 2d extend in the first direction D1.

[0021] The bedding body 2 comprises a first cover fabric 21 (cover fabric), a second cover fabric 22, a three-dimensional gusset 23, a second zipper 24, and a second connecting member 25. The first cover fabric 21 and the second cover fabric 22 constitute the outer surface of the bedding body 2. An internal space V1 is formed between the first cover fabric 21 and the second cover fabric 22. The first cover fabric 21 and the second cover fabric 22 extend in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. The length of the first cover fabric 21 in the first direction D1 and the length of the second cover fabric 22 in the first direction D1 are, for example, 2000 mm or more and 2500 mm or less (2260 mm as an example). The length of the first cover fabric 21 in the second direction D2 and the length of the second cover fabric 22 in the second direction D2 are, for example, 1400 mm or more and 1800 mm or less (1600 mm as an example).

[0022] The first and second outer fabrics 21 and 22 are rectangular in shape. The first outer fabric 21 has the same shape as the second outer fabric 22. The bedding 1 is used with the second outer fabric 22 facing the user. The first and second outer fabrics 21 and 22 are made of, for example, woven fabric. The first outer fabric 21 has an outer surface 21a that forms the outer surface of the bedding body 2 and an inner surface 21b that faces the opposite side of the outer surface 21a.

[0023] The three-dimensional gusset 23 is positioned between the first outer fabric 21 and the second outer fabric 22. The three-dimensional gusset 23 divides the internal space V1 into multiple spaces. The three-dimensional gusset 23 has a plurality of (for example, three) first partition fabrics 231 extending in the first direction D1 and a plurality of (for example, four) second partition fabrics 232 extending in the second direction D2. The first partition fabrics 231 are sewn to the second partition fabrics 232 in a state where they intersect. At the point where the first partition fabrics 231 intersect the second partition fabrics 232, for example, there is a sewn portion where the first partition fabrics 231 are sewn to the second partition fabrics 232 and an unsewn portion where the first partition fabrics 231 are not sewn to the second partition fabrics 232.

[0024] Multiple first partition cloths 231 are arranged at equal intervals along a second direction D2, for example. The distance between two adjacent first partition cloths 231 is, for example, 370 mm or more and 410 mm or less (390 mm as an example). Multiple second partition cloths 232 are arranged at equal intervals along a first direction D1, for example. The distance between two adjacent second partition cloths 232 is, for example, 440 mm or more and 470 mm or less (458 mm as an example).

[0025] The length from the second partition cloth 232 closest to the end of the first partition cloth 231 in the first direction D1 to the end of the first partition cloth 231 in the first direction D1 is, for example, 175 mm or more and 190 mm or less (184 mm as an example).

[0026] Each of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21 and the second outer fabric 22. One end of the first partition fabric 231 in the third direction D3 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21, and the other end of the first partition fabric 231 in the third direction D3 is sewn to the second outer fabric 22. Each of the multiple second partition fabrics 232 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21 and the second outer fabric 22. One end of the second partition fabric 232 in the third direction D3 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21, and the other end of the second partition fabric 232 in the third direction D3 is sewn to the second outer fabric 22.

[0027] Each of the multiple spaces formed by dividing the internal space V1 is filled with a stuffing material C1. The stuffing material C1 is, for example, feathers or polyester fiberfill. For example, the stuffing material C1 that is filled in one of the multiple spaces does not move to another of the multiple spaces. The total weight of the stuffing material C1 that is filled in the internal space V1 is, for example, 700g or more and 900g or less (800g as an example).

[0028] The second fastener 24 extends in the first direction D1. The second fastener 24 has a third connector 241, a fourth connector 242, and a slider 243. For example, the third connector 241 and the fourth connector 242 are elements of the second fastener 24. The third connector 241 and the fourth connector 242 can interlock with each other. The third connector 241 is located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from a reference line L2 that passes through the center of the bedding body 2 and extends in the first direction D1, and the fourth connector 242 is located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L2.

More specifically, the insertion hole 371a has openings 371b and 371c located at each end in the second direction D2. The insertion hole 372a has openings 372b and 372c located at each end in the second direction D2. The openings 371b and 372b are located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and the openings 371c and 372c are located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1.

[0048] The extended portion 361 of the first string 36A, which is inserted through the insertion hole 371a, is folded back on the outside of the opening 371c, enters the insertion hole 372a through the opening 372c, and extends out from the opening 372b. On the other hand, the extended portion 361 of the second string 36B, which is inserted through the insertion hole 371a, is folded back on the outside of the opening 371b, enters the insertion hole 372a through the opening 372b, and extends out from the opening 372c. One end of the first string 36A extending from the opening 371b is tied to the other end of the first string 36A extending from the opening 372b, forming a knot 362 of the first string 36A on one side of the attachment 3 in the second direction D2. One end of the second string 36B extending from the opening 371c is tied to the other end extending from the opening 372c of the second string 36B, so that a knot of the second string 36B is formed on the other side of the attachment 3 in the second direction D2. Therefore, the knot 362 of the first string 36A is located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and the knot 362 of the second string 36B is located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1.

[0049] When the first string 36A and the second string 36B are pulled so that the knot 362 of the first string 36A and the knot 362 of the second string 36B move away from each other in the second direction D2, the bulkhead portion 373 is pushed in and contracted from the extended portion 361 of the first string 36A and the extended portion 361 of the second string 36B, respectively. At this time, the folded portions outside the openings 371c and 372c of the first string 36A and the folded portions outside the openings 371b and 372b of the second string 36B move toward each other, and as a result the bulkhead portion 373 is compressed toward the center of the attachment 3 in the second direction D2. This makes it possible to constrict the portion of the attachment 3 around the bulkhead portion 373. When the second connecting portion 322 is connected to the first connecting portion 321, openings 3a (see Figure 9) are formed at each of the ends of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1. In this state, as described above, the string portion 36 is pulled, causing the opening 3a to narrow and tighten.

[0050] The attached gusset 35 will now be described in detail with reference again to Figures 2 and 3. The attached gusset 35 is positioned between the attached body 31 and the first side fabric 21. The attached gusset 35 divides the internal space V2 into multiple spaces. The attached gusset 35 has a third partition fabric 351 extending in a first direction D1 and a fourth partition fabric 352 extending in a second direction D2. The attached gusset 35 has, for example, one third partition fabric 351 and one fourth partition fabric 352. However, the attached gusset 35 may have multiple third partition fabrics 351 and multiple fourth partition fabrics 352.

[0051] The third partition cloth 351 is, for example, located on the reference line L1 in a plan view. The fourth partition cloth 352 passes through the center of the attachment body 31 in a first direction D1. One end of the third partition cloth 351 in a third direction D3 is sewn to the attachment body 31, and the other end of the third partition cloth 351 in a third direction D3 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21. One end of the fourth partition cloth 352 in a third direction D3 is sewn to the attachment body 31, and the other end of the fourth partition cloth 352 in a third direction D3 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21.

[0052] Each of the multiple spaces formed by the division of the internal space V2 is filled with filling material C2. The weight of the filling material C2 in each of the multiple spaces is, for example, 30g or more and 50g or less (40g as an example). The total weight of the filling material C2 filling the internal space V2 is, for example, 160g. The filling material that is in one of the multiple spaces does not move to another of the multiple spaces.

[0053] The first connecting member 38 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 5(a) and 5(b). Figure 5(a) is a perspective view showing the first connecting member 38. Figure 5(b) is a diagram showing the state in which the first connecting member 38 is engaged with the second connecting member 25. The first connecting member 38 is strip-shaped. The attachment 3 has, for example, a plurality (three as an example) of first connecting members 38. The plurality of first connecting members 38 are provided at equal intervals on the first side 31a of the attachment body 31, for example. The distance between two adjacent first connecting members 38 is, for example, 250 mm. In a plan view, the first connecting member 38 is positioned to overlap the plurality of second connecting members 25 of the bedding body 2.

[0054] The first connecting member 38 has a fabric portion 381, a male portion 382 positioned on the fabric portion 381, and a female portion 383 positioned on the fabric portion 381 at a different location from the male portion 382. The fabric portion 381 is in the shape of a strip. One end of the fabric portion 381 is sewn to the attachment body 31, and the other end of the fabric portion 381 is not fixed.

[0055] The male part 382 and the female part 383 are provided on the same surface of the fabric part 381. The male part 382 is detachably connected to the female part 383 when the fabric part 381 is folded. In this embodiment, the male part 382 and the female part 383 are snap buttons. The male part 382 is connected to the female part 383 when the fabric part 381 is inserted through the ring-shaped second connecting member 25 and the fabric part 381 is folded. As a result, the first connecting member 38 is connected to the second connecting member 25. Consequently, the movement of the edge of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1 is appropriately restricted.

[0056] The restricting portion 39 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 6(a) and 6(b). Figure 6(a) is a perspective view showing the restricting portion 39. Figure 6(b) is a diagram showing the state in which the restricting portion 39 restricts the movement of the string portion 36. The restricting portion 39 is provided to restrict the movement of the end of the string portion 36. The attachment 3 has, for example, a pair of restricting portions 39. The pair of restricting portions 39 are provided at the end of the attachment body 31 opposite to the first connecting member 38 (see Figure 2). One of the pair of restricting portions 39 is located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and the other of the pair of restricting portions 39 is located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1. The distance from the reference line L1 to the restricting portion 39 is, for example, 250 mm.

[0057] The restricting part 39 has a first fabric part 391, a second fabric part 392, a male part 393, and a female part 394. The first fabric part 391 has a male part 393, and the second fabric part 392 has a female part 394. The male part 393 is connectable to the female part 394. The first fabric part 391 and the second fabric part 392 are in the shape of strips. The first fabric part 391 is folded, and both ends of the first fabric part 391 are sewn to the attachment body 31. Therefore, the first fabric part 391 is annular.

[0058] The second fabric portion 392 is folded, and both ends of the second fabric portion 392 are sewn to the attachment body 31. Thus, the second fabric portion 392 is annular. The folded first fabric portion 391 overlaps the folded second fabric portion 392. The second fabric portion 392 has a portion facing the first fabric portion 391, and the first fabric portion 391 has a portion facing the second fabric portion 392. The male portion 393 is provided on the portion of the first fabric portion 391 facing the second fabric portion 392, and the female portion 394 is provided on the portion of the second fabric portion 392 facing the first fabric portion 391. In this embodiment, the male portion 393 and the female portion 394 are snap buttons. When the male part 393 is connected to the female part 394 with the string part 36 positioned between the first fabric part 391 and the second fabric part 392, the string part 36 becomes sandwiched between the first fabric part 391 and the second fabric part 392. This restricts the movement of the string part 36.

[0059] Next, a method for transforming the bedding 1 will be described. In this embodiment, the bedding 1 is capable of transitioning between a state where it is open and used as a futon, a state where it is folded up and used as a cushion, and a state where it is partially closed and used as a sleeping bag. Figure 1 shows the bedding 1 in the state where it is open and used as a futon. Figure 7 shows the state where both ends of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2 are folded back and it is used as a sleeping bag. Figure 10 shows the state where the bedding 1 is folded up and used as a cushion.

[0060] First, as shown in Figure 7, position the bedding 1 so that the attachment 3 is located below the bedding body 2. Next, fold both ends of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2 to the side opposite (up) to where the attachment 3 is located. At this time, fold the bedding body 2 so that it rests on top of the attachment 3. By folding it in this way, the second cover fabric 22 is located inside the first cover fabric 21. At this time, fold the bedding body 2 so that the length of the folded bedding body 2 in the second direction D2 is equal to the length of the attachment 3 in the second direction D2.

[0061] By folding both ends of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2 toward the reference line L2, the third connecting part 241 and the fourth connecting part 242 located at each end of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2 face each other. Then, by passing the fourth connecting part 242 through the slider 243 and moving the slider 243 in the first direction D1, the second zipper 24 can be closed.

[0062] The bedding 1 can be used as a sleeping bag in the state shown in Figure 7. In this state, when the bedding body 2 is folded and the third connecting part 241 is connected to the fourth connecting part 242, an open part 2f is formed at the end of the cylindrical bedding body 2 in the first direction D1, which is the part where the bedding body 2 is not connected to each other. In the bedding 1, the cylindrical bedding body 2 is a sleeping bag, and the open part 2f is the part where the user's head is exposed.

[0063] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, one end of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1 is folded back toward the other end in the first direction D1. At this time, the portion of the bedding body 2 that extends from the attachment 3 in the first direction D1 is folded in the first direction D1 so that it rests on top of the attachment 3. The length of the folded bedding body 2 in the first direction D1 is approximately the same as the length of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1.

[0064] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the attachment 3 is folded so that the bedding body 2 is enclosed within it. More specifically, the attachment 3 is folded with respect to the reference line L1 of the attachment 3. This causes the first connecting part 321 and the second connecting part 322 to face each other. The first fastener 32 is closed by passing the second connecting part 322 through the slider 323 and moving the slider 323 in the first direction D1. When the first fastener 32 is closed, openings 3a are formed at each of the ends of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1.

[0065] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the opening 3a is tightened by the tightening members 34 (first string 36A and second string 36B). More specifically, the opening 3a is tightened by pulling the first string 36A and the second string 36B so that they move away from each other in the second direction D2. With the opening 3a tightened, the bedding 1 can be used as a cushion (candy cushion) by tying the first string 36A and the second string 36B together (for example, by tying a bow knot).

[0066] Next, an example of a bedding manufacturing method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 11. Figure 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the steps for a bedding manufacturing method. The bedding manufacturing method may be used for the bedding 1 described above, or for bedding other than bedding 1.

[0067] First, the components constituting the bedding body 2 and the components constituting the attachment 3 are prepared. In this embodiment, the components constituting the bedding body 2 are a first outer fabric 21, a second outer fabric 22, a three-dimensional gusset 23, a second zipper 24, and a plurality of second connecting members 25. In this embodiment, the components constituting the attachment 3 are the attachment body 31, a first zipper 32, a pair of bands 33, a fastening member 34, an attachment gusset 35, a plurality of first connecting members 38, and a pair of restricting parts 39. The length of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1 before the attachment 3 is manufactured is, for example, 1500 mm or more and 1700 mm or less (1636 mm as an example). The length of the attachment body 31 in the second direction D2 before the attachment 3 is manufactured is, for example, 900 mm or more and 1100 mm or less (980 mm as an example).

[0068] The length of the band 33 in the first direction D1 before the attachment 3 is manufactured is, for example, 1500 mm or more and 1700 mm or less (1636 mm as an example). The length of the band 33 in the second direction D2 before the attachment 3 is manufactured is, for example, 100 mm or more and 140 mm or less (120 mm as an example). The length of the first cord 36A and the length of the second cord 36B in the extending direction before the attachment 3 is manufactured is, for example, 2100 mm.

[0069] First, the attachment 3 is manufactured (step S1, process of manufacturing the attachment). An example of the process of manufacturing the attachment 3 will be described with reference to Figure 12. Figure 12 is a flowchart of an example of the process of manufacturing the attachment 3. As shown in Figure 13(a), the band 33 is sewn onto the attachment body 31 (step S101, process of sewing the band onto the attachment body). Figure 13(a) is a plan view showing the attachment body 31 with the band 33 sewn onto it. More specifically, a pair of bands 33 are sewn to each of the ends of the attachment body 31 in the second direction D2. For example, the band 33 includes an unsewn portion 33a that includes the center of the band 33 in the first direction D1, and a pair of sewn portions 33b that sandwich the unsewn portion 33a. The length of the unsewn portion 33a in the first direction D1 is, for example, 950 mm or more and 1000 mm or less (976 mm as an example). The length of the first direction D1 of the sewing portion 33b is, for example, 300 mm or more and 360 mm or less (330 mm as an example).

[0070] As shown in Figure 13(b), the first fastener 32 is sewn to the attachment body 31 (step S102, the process of sewing the fastener to the attachment body). Figure 13(b) is a plan view showing the attachment body 31 after the first fastener 32 has been further sewn on. More specifically, the first connecting portion 321 is placed on the unsewn portion 33a, and the band 33 is folded back toward the attachment body 31 with the sewn portion 33b as a fold. The attachment body 31, the band 33 and the first connecting portion 321 are sewn together as a single unit.

[0071] Similarly, the second connecting portion 322 is positioned on the unsewn portion 33a opposite to the side where the first connecting portion 321 is located when viewed from the reference line L1, and the band 33 is folded back toward the main body 31 of the attachment portion, using the sewn portion 33b as a fold. The main body 31 of the attachment portion, the band 33, and the second connecting portion 322 are sewn together as a single unit.

[0072] Next, a bag portion 37 is formed in the main body 31 of the attachment (step S103, the process of forming a bag portion in the main body of the attachment). Figure 14 is a diagram showing the process of forming a bag portion 37 in the main body of the attachment 31. The main body of the attachment 31 has folds 31h and 31k. The fold 31k is formed at a position away from the fold 31h toward the center of the first direction D1 of the main body of the attachment 31. The distance from the fold 31h to the fold 31k is, for example, 110 mm or more and 140 mm or less (126 mm as an example).

[0073] Multiple first connecting members 38 are sewn between a fold 31h located on one side of the first direction D1 (right side in Figure 14) and a fold 31k located on the other side of the first direction D1 (right side in Figure 14), as viewed from the center of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1. Multiple restricting parts 39 are sewn between a fold 31h located on the other side of the first direction D1 (left side in Figure 14), as viewed from the center of the first direction D1 of the attachment body 31 and a fold 31k located on the other side of the first direction D1 (left side in Figure 14).

[0074] The end portion 31g of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1 is folded back using the fold line 31h as a reference. The fold line 31h is formed at a position away from the end portion 31g of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1. The distance from the end portion 31g of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1 to the fold line 31h is, for example, 45 mm or more and 55 mm or less (50 mm as an example).

[0075] Next, using the fold line 31h as a reference, the end portion 31g in the first direction D1 is folded back, and the portion between the fold line 31h and the end portion 31g is moved to the underside of the attachment body 31. Then, using the fold line 31k as a reference, the portion between the fold line 31k and the fold line 31h is folded back and moved to the underside of the attachment body 31. As a result, the first connecting member 38 extends from the attachment body 31 to one side in the first direction D1, and the restricting portion 39 extends from the attachment body 31 to the other side in the first direction D1.

[0076] Next, the portion where the fold 31h was located is sewn to form a sewn portion 31m. Then, the portion between the sewn portion 31m and the end portion 31g is sewn to form a sewn portion 31n. The distance from the fold 31k to the sewn portion 31n is, for example, 70 mm or more and 90 mm or less (84 mm as an example). The distance from the sewn portion 31n to the sewn portion 31m is, for example, 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less (40 mm as an example). As described above, by forming the sewn portion 31m and the sewn portion 31n, the portion between the sewn portion 31m and the sewn portion 31n becomes a bag portion 37. In this way, the sewn portion 31m and the sewn portion 31n are formed to create bag portions 37 at each end of the attachment body 31 in the first direction D1.

[0077] Next, the string portion 36 is inserted through the bag portion 37 (step S104, step of inserting the string portion into the bag portion). More specifically, the first string 36A is inserted through the insertion hole 371a of the first bag portion 371, folded back outside the openings 371c and 372c, and inserted through the insertion hole 372a of the second bag portion 372. Then, a knot 362 of the first string 36A is formed outside the openings 371b and 372b. Subsequently, the second string 36B is inserted through the insertion hole 371a of the first bag portion 371, folded back outside the openings 371b and 372b, and inserted through the insertion hole 372a of the second bag portion 372. Then, a knot 362 of the second string 36B is formed outside the openings 371c and 372c.

[0078] Next, the attachment gusset 35 is sewn to the attachment body 31 (step S105, the process of sewing the attachment gusset to the attachment body). More specifically, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the third partition fabric 351 and the fourth partition fabric 352 of the attachment gusset 35 are sewn to the inner surface 31e of the attachment body 31. The end of the third partition fabric 351 in the third direction D3 and the end of the fourth partition fabric 352 are each sewn to the end in the third direction D3. The attachment 3 is completed after these steps.

[0079] Furthermore, a three-dimensional gusset 23 is sewn to the inner surface 21b of the first outer fabric 21 (step S2, the process of sewing a three-dimensional gusset to the inner surface of the first outer fabric). More specifically, each of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 and the multiple second partition fabrics 232 of the three-dimensional gusset 23 is sewn to the inner surface 21b of the first outer fabric 21. The ends of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 in the third direction D3 and the ends of the multiple second partition fabrics 232 in the third direction D3 are each sewn to the inner surface 21b.

[0080] Next, the attached gusset 35 is sewn to the outer surface 21a of the first outer fabric 21 (step S3, the process of sewing the attached gusset to the outer surface of the first outer fabric). More specifically, the third partition fabric 351 and the fourth partition fabric 352 of the attached gusset 35 are sewn to the outer surface 21a of the first outer fabric 21. At this time, the end of the third partition fabric 351 in the third direction D3, which is located on the opposite side of the inner surface 31e, and the end of the fourth partition fabric 352 in the third direction D3, which is located on the opposite side of the inner surface 31e, are sewn to the outer surface 21a.

[0081] Next, the attachment body 31 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21 (step S4, the process of sewing the attachment body to the first outer fabric). This attaches the attachment 3 to the first outer fabric 21. More specifically, the first side 31a, second side 31b, third side 31c, and fourth side 31d of the attachment body 31, which are the outer edges of the attachment body 31, are sewn to the outer surface 21a of the first outer fabric 21. At this time, a filling opening for filling the stuffing C2 is formed in each of the multiple spaces formed when the internal space V2 is divided by the attachment gusset 35. The filling opening is formed on each of the first side 31a, second side 31b, third side 31c, and fourth side 31d of the attachment, where the attachment body 31 is not sewn to the outer surface 21a.

[0082] Next, the filling material C2 is filled through the filling port (step S5, the process of filling the filling material through the filling port). More specifically, an injector (nozzle) is inserted into the filling ports formed on the first side 31a, second side 31b, third side 31c, and fourth side 31d of the attached part, and the filling material C2 is injected into each of the multiple spaces into which the internal space V2 is divided. This fills the internal space V2 with the filling material C2.

[0083] Next, the filling openings are closed (step S6, step of closing the filling openings). More specifically, the attachment body 31 is sewn to the first fabric 21 at the locations of the multiple filling openings formed on each of the first side 31a, second side 31b, third side 31c, and fourth side 31d of the attachment to close the filling openings.

[0084] Next, the three-dimensional gusset 23 is sewn to the second outer fabric 22 (step S7, the process of sewing the three-dimensional gusset to the second outer fabric). More specifically, each of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 and the multiple second partition fabrics 232 of the three-dimensional gusset 23 is sewn to the inner surface of the second outer fabric 22. The ends of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 located on the opposite side of the inner surface 21b in the third direction D3, and the ends of the multiple second partition fabrics 232 located on the opposite side of the inner surface 21b in the third direction D3 are sewn to the inner surface of the second outer fabric 22.

[0085] Next, the first outer fabric 21, the second outer fabric 22, and the second zipper 24 are sewn together (step S8, the process of sewing together the first outer fabric, the second outer fabric, and the zipper). This sews the first outer fabric 21, to which the attachment 3 is attached, to the second outer fabric 22. More specifically, the third connecting part 241 is placed on the edge of the first outer fabric 21 that will become the third side 2c of the bedding, and the fourth connecting part 242 is placed on the edge of the first outer fabric 21 that will become the fourth side 2d of the bedding. At one end in the first direction D1, the outer edge of the first outer fabric 21 is sewn to the outer edge of the second outer fabric 22. At the other end in the first direction D1, the outer edge of the first outer fabric 21 is sewn to the outer edge of the second outer fabric 22, except for the portion facing the ends of the multiple first partition fabrics 231. As a result, a filling opening is formed in each of the portions facing the ends of the multiple first partition fabrics 231 for filling the internal space V1 with stuffing C1. At the position where the third connecting portion 241 is located, the first outer fabric 21, the second outer fabric 22, and the third connecting portion 241 are sewn together as a single unit. At the position where the fourth connecting portion 242 is located, the first outer fabric 21, the second outer fabric 22, and the fourth connecting portion 242 are sewn together as a single unit.

[0086] The filling material C1 is filled from multiple filling ports (the process of filling the filling material from the filling ports, step S9). More specifically, a nozzle is inserted into a location (filling port) where the outer edge of the first outer fabric 21 is not sewn to the outer edge of the second outer fabric 22, and the filling material C1 is injected into each of the multiple spaces into which the internal space V1 is divided. The three-dimensional gusset 23 has a non-sewn section where the first partition fabric 231 is not sewn to the second partition fabric 232, so the nozzle can access each of the multiple spaces through this non-sewn section. The filling material C1 is injected by accessing each of the multiple spaces with the nozzle, and the internal space V1 is filled with the filling material C1.

[0087] Next, the filling openings are closed (the process of closing the filling openings, step S10). More specifically, the outer edge of the first fabric 21, which is not sewn to the outer edge of the second fabric 22, is sewn to the outer edge of the second fabric 22.

[0088] Next, the effects and advantages obtained from the bedding 1 and the manufacturing method of the bedding according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in Figures 7 to 10, in the bedding 1, the bedding body 2 is placed on the attachment part 3 in the third direction D3, and the attachment part 3 can be folded while housing the bedding body 2 in the attachment part 3. In the bedding 1, by folding back both ends of the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2, and folding back one end of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1 toward the other end of the first direction D1, the attachment part 3 can be folded while housing the bedding body 2 in the attachment part 3. When viewed from the reference line L1, the first connecting part 321 is located on one side of the second direction D2 and the second connecting part 322 is located on the other side, and the attachment part 3 is folded with respect to the reference line L1 so that the first connecting part 321 is detachably connected to the second connecting part 322. Therefore, when the bedding body 2 is placed on the attachment part 3 and the attachment part 3 is folded using the reference line L1 as a reference, the first connecting part 321 can be connected to the second connecting part 322 while the bedding body 2 is housed in the attachment part 3. This allows the bedding body 2 to be housed in the attachment part 3. As a result, it becomes unnecessary to roll up or press the bedding 1, thus reducing the workload involved in making the bedding 1 more compact.

[0089] As the bedding body 2 can be housed in the attachment part 3 in this manner, the bedding 1, with the bedding body 2 housed in the attachment part 3, can be transformed into a cushion shape. In the bedding 1, one end in the first direction D1 is folded back toward the other end in the first direction D1, so the bedding 1, with the bedding body 2 housed in the attachment part 3, can be transformed into a high-rebound cushion. Therefore, the bedding 1 can be used as a cushion with the bedding body 2 housed inside.

[0090] Since attachment 3 is attached to the bedding body 2, attachment 3 cannot be lost. Furthermore, there is no need to use a compression bag to make the bedding 1 more compact. Therefore, the construction of the bedding 1 can be simplified.

[0091] The first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 constitute a first fastener 32 extending in the first direction D1. With this configuration, the attachment portion 3, which houses the bedding body 2, can be opened and closed by the first fastener 32, so that the attachment portion 3 can be closed easily and securely.

[0092] The attachment 3 has fastening members 34 provided at each end of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1. The fastening member 34 has a bag portion 37 extending in the second direction D2 and a string portion 36 passed through the bag portion 37. When the first connecting portion 321 is connected to the second connecting portion 322, the fastening member 34 tightens the openings 3a formed at each end of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1 by pulling the string portion 36. With this configuration, the openings 3a formed when the attachment 3 accommodates the bedding body 2 can be tightened by pulling the string portion 36. This allows the bedding body 2 to be bundled together, making the bedding 1 even more compact.

[0093] Furthermore, since the opening 3a is tightened, the bedding body 2 located inside the attachment 3 can be hidden from view. In this embodiment, the bedding 1 can be transformed into a cushion shape that resembles a candy, composed of a candy and a wrapper. Therefore, the appearance of the compacted bedding 1 is improved.

[0094] The attachment 3 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21 of the bedding body 2, and the internal space V2 defined by the attachment 3 and the first outer fabric 21 is filled with stuffing C2. With this configuration, the stuffing C1 filled in the internal space V2 defined by the attachment 3 and the first outer fabric 21 can enhance the heat retention of the bedding 1.

[0095] In this embodiment, the reference line L1 is located on the reference line L2. The bedding body 2 has a third connecting part 241 located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and a fourth connecting part 242 located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1. The third connecting part 241 is detachably connected to the fourth connecting part 242 when the bedding body 2 is folded. With this configuration, the third connecting part 241 can be connected to the fourth connecting part 242 by folding the bedding body 2, so the bedding body 2 can maintain its folded state. This allows the bedding body 2 to be easily stored in the attachment part 3.

[0096] The third connecting portion 241 and the fourth connecting portion 242 constitute a second fastener 24 extending in the first direction D1, and the length of the second fastener 24 in the first direction D1 is shorter than the length of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1. With this configuration, when the bedding body 2 is folded and the third connecting portion 241 is connected to the fourth connecting portion 242, an open portion 2f is formed at the end of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1, which is a part of the bedding body 2 that is not connected to each other. In this case, the tubular bedding body 2 can be used as a sleeping bag, and the open portion 2f can be a part in which the user's head is exposed. In this way, the bedding 1 can be used not only as bedding and a cushion, but also as a sleeping bag.

[0097] In the manufacturing method of the bedding according to this embodiment, the attachment part 3 is attached to the first outer fabric 21 of the bedding body 2, and then the first outer fabric 21 is sewn to the second outer fabric 22 of the bedding body 2. Since the attachment part 3 is attached to the first outer fabric 21 before the second outer fabric 22 is sewn to the first outer fabric 21, it is possible to avoid accidentally sewing the attachment part 3 and the first outer fabric 21 together with the second outer fabric 22.

[0098] The embodiments of the bedding and the method for manufacturing the bedding described herein have been explained above. However, this disclosure is not limited to the contents of each embodiment described above, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist described in the claims. That is, the shape, size, number, material and arrangement of each part of the bedding described herein can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist described above, and the contents and sequence of the steps of the method for manufacturing the bedding described herein can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist described above. Various modifications will be described below.

[0099] As shown in Figures 15(a), 15(b), and 16, the accessory part 3A of the modified bedding 1A further has a plurality of (for example) adjustment parts 40. Figure 15(a) is a perspective view showing the modified bedding 1A. Figure 15(b) is a perspective view showing the bedding 1A in a state where the adjustment parts 40 tighten the accessory body 31 and the bedding body 2. Figure 16 is a perspective view showing the adjustment part 40.

[0100] The adjustment section 40 includes an adjustment tool 41 and a fabric section 42. The fabric section 42 extends in a second direction D2. The fabric section 42 is sewn to the outer surface 31f of the attachment body 31 in a third direction D3. Both ends of the fabric section 42 in the first direction D1 are sewn to the attachment body 31, while both ends of the fabric section 42 in the second direction D2 are not sewn to the attachment body 31. As a result, an insertion hole 40a extending in the second direction D2 is formed between the fabric section 42 and the attachment body 31.

[0101] The adjuster 41 comprises a belt 41a, a male snap button 41b, and a female snap button 41c. The belt 41a extends in a second direction D2. The belt 41a is inserted through the insertion hole 40a such that both ends in the second direction D2 are exposed.

[0102] The belt 41a has a pair of exposed portions 41d that are exposed from the insertion hole 40a. The male snap button 41b is attached to the exposed portion 41d of the pair that is further from the reference line L1. The female snap button 41c is attached to the exposed portion 41d of the pair that is closer to the reference line L1. Alternatively, the male snap button 41b may be attached to the exposed portion 41d of the pair that is closer to the reference line L1, and the female snap button 41c may be attached to the exposed portion 41d of the pair that is further from the reference line L1.

[0103] The female snap button 41c is movably attached to the belt 41a in a second direction D2. The male snap button 41b and the female snap button 41c are provided on the side of the belt 41a opposite to the side facing the outer surface 31f. The male snap button 41b is detachably connected to the female snap button 41c. An example of the adjuster 41 is the Free Adjust Tapy®.

[0104] The adjustment unit 40 has a pair of adjustment units 40A on one side of the first direction D1 when viewed from the center of the first direction D1 of the attachment unit 3, and a further pair of adjustment units 40B on the other side of the first direction D1. The pair of adjustment units 40A are aligned in the second direction D2. The pair of adjustment units 40B are aligned in the second direction D2. One adjustment unit 40A is located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and the other adjustment unit 40A is located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1. One adjustment unit 40B is located on one side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1, and the other adjustment unit 40B is located on the other side of the second direction D2 when viewed from the reference line L1. The distance between the pair of adjustment units 40A is smaller than the distance between the pair of adjustment units 40B.

[0105] With this configuration, when the female snap button 41c is moved on the belt 41a toward the male snap button 41b, the fabric portion 42 is tightened in the second direction D2. When the fabric portion 42 is tightened in the second direction D2, the attachment body 31 and the bedding body 2 are also tightened in the second direction D2. This reduces the gap between the user's neck and the bedding body 2. When the male snap button 41b is attached to the female snap button 41c, the gap between the user's neck and the bedding body 2 is kept small. As a result, the bedding 1 can keep the user warmer.

[0106] Furthermore, the adjustment section 40 includes a pair of adjustment sections 40A and a pair of adjustment sections 40B. By using each of the pair of adjustment sections 40A and 40B to tighten the accessory body 31 and the bedding body 2 in the second direction D2, the gap between the user and the bedding body 2 can be gradually reduced from the center of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1 toward the ends of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1.

[0107] Furthermore, since the distance between the pair of adjustment parts 40A is smaller than the distance between the pair of adjustment parts 40B, the gap between the user and the bedding body 2 can be appropriately reduced using the pair of adjustment parts 40B, while the gap between the user's neck and the bedding body 2 can be reliably reduced using the pair of adjustment parts 40A.

[0108] The arrangement and number of the adjustment units 40 are not limited to the above-described modifications and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the above summary.

[0109] The position of the attachment 3 relative to the bedding body 2 is not limited to the position in the embodiment described above. The attachment 3 may be positioned at any position on the outer surface 21a. For example, the reference line L1 does not have to be located on the reference line L2.

[0110] The attachment body 31 was sewn to the first outer fabric 21. However, the attachment body 31 may be attached to the first outer fabric 21 by means other than sewing, for example, by buttons, snap buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc.

[0111] The total weight of the filling C1 that fills the bedding body 2 may be set to 300g or more and 500g or less, thereby reducing the volume of the bedding body 2. With this configuration, the compacted bedding 1 can be used as a pillow.

[0112] The length of the attachment 3 in the first direction D1 may be equal to the length of the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1. With this configuration, when storing the bedding body 2 in the attachment 3, it is not necessary to fold the bedding body 2 in the first direction D1. The attachment 3 may also extend in a V-shape. With this configuration, the compacted bedding 1 can be used as a body pillow.

[0113] The main body of the attachment 31 may be made of mesh. In this case, the ventilation of the bedding body 2 housed in the attachment 3 can be improved in the compacted bedding 1, and the humidity of the bedding body 2 can be appropriately removed. In addition, the attachment 3 can be used as a laundry net.

[0114] The attachment 3 may have a string, hook-and-loop fastener, snap button, button, belt, or Free Adjust Tapy® instead of the first and second connecting parts 321 and 322, which are elements of the first fastener 32. In other words, the first and second connecting parts do not have to be elements of a fastener, and may be a string, hook-and-loop fastener, snap button, button, belt, or Free Adjust Tapy®. The same applies to the third and fourth connecting parts.

[0115] The third connecting portion 241 and the fourth connecting portion 242 may extend from the end of the third side 2c of the bedding in the first direction D1 to the fourth side 2d of the bedding. In this case, the feet of the user using the bedding 1 as a sleeping bag can be kept warm.

[0116] The attachment 3 does not need to have a fastening member 34. The internal space V2 defined by the attachment 3 and the first outer fabric does not need to be filled with stuffing C2. The bedding body 2 does not need to have a third connecting part 241 and a fourth connecting part 242.

[0117] The internal space V1 of the bedding body 2 does not necessarily have to be filled with stuffing C1. The bedding body 2 may be used with another bedding body placed between the first cover fabric 21 and the second cover fabric 22.

[0118] The first connecting member 38 may connect the male part 382 to the female part 383 with the string part 36 in between. In other words, the first connecting member 38 may restrict the movement of the string part 36. Furthermore, multiple first connecting members 38 may be located on the second side 31b of the attachment part, and multiple restricting parts 39 may be located on the first side 31a of the attachment part.

[0119] Instead of having multiple restricting portions 39 on the second side 31b of the attachment portion, multiple first connecting members 38 may be provided on the second side 31b of the attachment portion. That is, multiple first connecting members 38 may be provided on the first side 31a and the second side 31b of the attachment portion. Alternatively, instead of having multiple first connecting members 38 on the first side 31a of the attachment portion, multiple restricting portions 39 may be provided on the first side 31a of the attachment portion. That is, multiple restricting portions 39 may be provided on the first side 31a and the second side 31b of the attachment portion. [Explanation of Symbols]
