Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fabric bonding methods, such as sewing and adhesive use, fail to provide durable connections while preventing filling discharge, especially when ventilation holes or sewing lines are formed, leading to issues with product quality and durability.

Innovation Solution

A fabric bonding structure using a bonding member with a strap form, folded to create internal regions, where fillings are isolated from the outside, and a sealing line is formed without sewing, using an adhesive to bond the member to the fabrics, ensuring even distribution of deformation forces and preventing filling discharge.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If sewing is used to connect fabrics, then bonding strength is improved, but filling discharge occurs through needle holes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidfilling discharge
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A bonding member is introduced as an intermediary component between the first and second fabrics. This bonding member includes a first surface that bonds to the first fabric and a second surface that bonds to the second fabric, eliminating the need for direct sewing between fabrics and preventing filling discharge through needle holes while maintaining bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If adhesive bonding is used to prevent filling discharge, then filling discharge is prevented, but bonding force deteriorates over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilling discharge preventionVSAvoidbonding force durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding member is constructed as a composite structure with a first surface optimized for bonding to the first fabric and a second surface optimized for bonding to the second fabric. This composite design allows the use of different bonding mechanisms or materials on each surface, achieving both filling discharge prevention and long-term bonding force durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Object-generated harmful factors

If adhesive bonding is used to connect fabrics, then filling discharge is prevented, but bonding structure deforms under external force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilling discharge preventionVSAvoidbonding structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding structure is segmented into distinct components: the first fabric, the bonding member, and the second fabric. The bonding member acts as a separate structural element that can be designed with specific mechanical properties to resist deformation under external force while maintaining its bonding function, thus preventing both filling discharge and structural deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If sewing lines are formed for finishing clothes, then design and function are improved, but filling discharge occurs through sewing lines

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign and functionVSAvoidfilling discharge
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding member serves as an intermediary that enables the formation of sewing lines or ventilation holes for design and functional purposes while preventing filling discharge. By providing a dedicated bonding interface, the bonding member allows sewing operations to be performed on the bonding member itself rather than directly on the fabric layers, thus maintaining both design flexibility and filling containment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
