Double-Fabric Presentation Sample With Folded Edge Concealment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing presentation samples of double-fabric materials do not effectively showcase a larger portion of the front side, often hiding raw edges and internal structures, detracting from the ornamental value and clarity of the display.
Innovation Solution
A method of cutting and folding the loose ends of the double-fabric material to create a main sample face that hides the back side and raw edges, using folds and cuffs to maintain a neat appearance, and optionally incorporating a manipulation card for ease of handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the double-fabric material is cut to create a presentation sample, then a smaller portion of the material is provided for display, but the raw edges and back side become visible, reducing the ornamental value
Solution Approach 1:
The loose ends are folded back before the sample is displayed, creating a finished appearance in advance. This preliminary folding action hides the raw edges and back side, transforming the sample into an aesthetically pleasing display piece without requiring complex post-processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The loose ends are treated as separate elements that can be independently folded and positioned. By segmenting the sample into the main body and the loose ends, the invention allows the loose ends to be folded back to create a neat appearance, while the main body displays the full front side pattern.
2Ease of operation
If the loose ends are left as they are, then the sample structure is simple, but the raw edges and internal structures are visible, detracting from the presentation quality
Solution Approach 1:
The folding of loose ends is performed as a preliminary action during sample preparation. This creates a finished, neat appearance before the sample is displayed, hiding raw edges and internal structures without requiring complex mechanisms or additional components.
Solution Approach 2:
The loose ends are folded back to conceal their own raw edges and the internal cell structure. The sample structure itself serves the dual purpose of displaying the front side pattern and concealing its own construction details, eliminating the need for separate masking or finishing components.
3Area of stationary object
If a larger portion of the double-fabric material is displayed, then more of the front side pattern is visible, but the sample becomes larger and harder to handle
Solution Approach 1:
The sample is segmented into the main body, which displays the front side pattern, and the loose ends, which are folded back. This segmentation allows the main body to be sufficiently large for display while the folded loose ends prevent the sample from becoming unwieldy, maintaining ease of handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The loose ends are folded back as a preliminary action to create a compact, manageable sample. This preliminary folding ensures that even when a larger portion of the fabric is displayed, the sample remains easy to handle and display, as the loose ends are already positioned to constrain its size.

AI summary
A presentation sample (100) of a double-fabric product comprises at its upper end a first loose upper fabric portion (8) and a second loose upper fabric portion (9) which are arranged substantially parallel to each other, which at their lower ends are connected together at a connection portion (6; 1727; 32), and which at their respective upper ends have respective first and second cut edges (137; 138). The first loose upper fabric portion (8) extends over the connection portion (6; 1727; 32) and over at least part of the second loose upper fabric portion (9), and has a first cuff (54) between a distal fold (52) and the first cut edge (137).
