Duvet Inserts and Methods of Manufacture Thereof

Abstract

Duvet inserts are provided with at least two chamfered or beveled corners to prevent overhanging of the corners. Additional drag caused by the overhanging corners and frequent handling of duvet inserts by the corners causes migration of fillers contained therein and this is mitigated by the chamfered corners. Again, sectional barriers, preferably by stitching zigzag, waves or triangle wave stitches along the periphery of duvet inserts are capable of minimizing migration of fillers. Furthermore, quilted or line stitches on at least two corners can also be provided to contain the fillers. Duvet inserts of the present disclosure are durable and chamfered corners provide a neat and tailored look thereby enhancing bed presentation and also avert accidents such as tripping over the overhanging portion.

1 . A duvet insert comprising at least two corners configured to minimize overhang of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         2 . The duvet insert of  claim 1 , wherein said at least two corners are either chamfered or bevelled. 
     
     
         3 . The duvet insert of  claim 1 , wherein at least two corners of said duvet insert are provided with at least one of quilted or line stitches for containing fillers and minimizing filler migration. 
     
     
         4 . A duvet insert comprising:
 a main body; and   a frame defined around said main body and extending along the periphery of said duvet insert,   
       wherein at least said frame is configured with intersecting sectional barriers for containing fillers at least within said main body. 
     
     
         5 . The duvet insert of  claim 4  further comprising at least two corners configured to minimize overhang of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         6 . The duvet insert of  claim 5 , wherein said at least two corners are either chamfered or bevelled. 
     
     
         7 . The duvet insert of  claim 4 , wherein said sectional barriers are defined by stitching a pre-determined pattern. 
     
     
         8 . The duvet insert of  claim 7 , wherein said pre-determined pattern is at least one selected from the group consisting of zigzag, waves, triangle and triangle wave stitches. 
     
     
         9 . The duvet insert of  claim 4 , wherein said frame is at least three inches wide along the periphery of said duvet insert. 
     
     
         10 . The duvet insert of  claim 4 , wherein at least two corners of said duvet insert are provided with at least one of quilted or line stitches for containing fillers and minimizing filler migration. 
     
     
         11 . A method of making a duvet insert comprising: configuring at least two corners to minimize overhang of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the configuring comprises chamfering or bevelling of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said chamfering or bevelling comprises one or more combinations of cutting, folding and stitching to obtain finished contours at the corners. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising: providing at least one of quilted or line stitches on at least two corners of said duvet insert for containing fillers and minimizing filler migration. 
     
     
         15 . A method of making a duvet insert comprising: configuring intersecting sectional barriers at least on a frame defined around a main body and extending along the periphery of said duvet insert, said sectional barriers adapted to contain fillers at least within said main body and minimize migration of fillers therein. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising: configuring at least two corners to minimize overhang of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the configuring comprises chamfering or bevelling of said at least two corners. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the configuring intersecting sectional barriers comprises stitching a pre-determined pattern. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the pre-determined pattern is at least one selected from the group consisting of zigzag, waves, triangle and triangle wave stitches. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising: providing at least one of quilted stitches or line stitches on at least two corners of said duvet insert to contain fillers and minimize filler migration.
