An artificial down filling material comprising artificial down clusters (), wherein each of the down clusters () comprise a number of filaments () arranged side by side in a bundle, the filaments () being bonded, preferably melt bonded, together at a bonding location, wherein the filaments () are self-crimped, multi-component filaments (), the cross-section of the multi-component filament having at least three corners ().

Artificial down filling material

A fiber block molding apparatus comprising: —a mold having a lower part and an upper part forming between them a cavity for forming a fiber blank into a fiber block article upon closing the mold; —a conveyor system for receiving the fiber blank to be molded at a receiving position, transporting the fiber blank via a heater for activation of a binding agent, and delivering the heated fiber blank into the lower part of the mold at a delivery end of the conveyor system, and —a horizontal position shifting arrangement for shifting the horizontal position of the delivery end of the conveyor system relative to the lower part of the mold between a first and a second position to lay the fiber blank on the lower part of the mold.

Molding of fiber blanks into three-dimensional fiber block articles

The present invention concerns a spring core () that may be used in e.g. bed mattresses, chairs or sofas. The spring core () comprises springs placed inside pocket (). The pockets () are placed in a number of rows, which rows of pockets () are placed side by side. The spring core () is held in a compressed state by means of at least one cord (). The at least one cord () is formed into braids () at opposite outer ends () of each row of pockets (). Further, the at least one cord () forms a number of loops () on at least one side of each row of pockets (). By pulling at one free end () of the at least one cord () the braids () and loops () are dissolved, allowing the spring core () to return to the non-compressed state.
