Abstract
Disclosed are a stuffing ( 4 ) and a method for manufacturing the same, the stuffing ( 4 ) comprising a branch ( 402 ) and trunk ( 401 ) structure formed with a microporous polymer, and having a trunk ( 401 ), and branches ( 402 ) formed by splitting from the trunk ( 401 ). The stuffing ( 4 ) of the present invention can still maintain at a dispersedly stuffing state after multiple washings, without notable phenomena such as agglomeration and entanglement.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A stuffing, characterized in that the stuffing comprises a branch and trunk structure formed by a microporous polymer, wherein the branch and trunk structure comprises a trunk and branches formed by splitting from the trunk, and wherein the branch and trunk structure has a maximum longitudinal length of about 10 to about 130 mm on average and a maximum lateral dimension of about 2 to about 15 mm on average.
2 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the trunk has an average lateral dimension of about 1 to about 10 mm.
3 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the branches have an average lateral dimension of about 0.5 to about 5 mm.
4 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the trunk length is equal to or less than the longitudinal length of the branch and trunk structure.
5 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the branches have an average length between about 1 and about 6 mm.
6 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the branches are formed by laterally splitting along a longitudinal length direction of the trunk at an interval of about 1 to about 6 mm on average.
7 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the branches are formed by splitting at one end of the trunk.
8 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the branch and trunk structure has a planar two-dimensional structure.
9 . The stuffing of claim 8 , characterized in that the branch and trunk structure has an average thickness of about 0.25 to about 2 mm.
10 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the microporous polymer is selected from thermal insulating materials.
11 . The stuffing of claim 10 , characterized in that the thermal insulating materials are expanded plastics.
12 . The stuffing of claim 11 , characterized in that the expanded plastics include expanded materials produced from one of the following materials: polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene or polyurethane.
13 . The stuffing of claim 1 , characterized in that the stuffing has water-wash resistance.
14 . A method for manufacturing a stuffing, including providing a microporous polymer sheet having a thickness of about 0.25 to about 2 mm, allowing the sheet to be positioned between two gear blade-bearing roller wheels rotating in reverse directions for cutting, and adjusting a gap between the two gear blade-bearing roller wheels to between 0 and about 1 mm so as to cut and mold the sheet into a branch and trunk structure.
15 . The method of claim 14 , characterized in that the gear blade-bearing roller wheels have blades arranged at an interval and spirally distributed along an axial line thereof.
16 . The method of claim 14 , characterized in that the gear blade-bearing roller wheels have a linear velocity of about 100 to about 300 mm/s.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
