A device for manufacturing a pleated curtain includes elongate pleating means for forming a first fold in the curtain by folding the curtain around a long side of the pleating means along a fold line, clamping means for clamping a pleat portion of the curtain on either side of the first fold along a clamping line parallel to the fold line such that the pleat portion forms a loop, and control means for controlling the pleating means and the clamping means. The control means move the pleating means and/or clamping means such that the pleating means are arranged from a position inside the loop to a position adjacent the loop, while the clamping means clamp the pleat portion, such that a remaining portion of the curtain is folded round an outer end of the clamping means and a second fold is formed adjacently of and parallel to the first fold.

An active-insulation paneling component and garments including an active-insulation paneling component. The active-insulation paneling component includes insulated panels separated by gussets. The gussets are configured to expand upon an outward pulling force to allow the active-insulation paneling component and/or garment to expand even where the active-insulation paneling component and/or garment are not manufactured from elastic materials.

The present application provides a honeycomb curtain and a manufacturing method thereof. The honeycomb curtain includes at least one first fabric layer and at least one second fabric layer. Each first fabric layer includes multiple sequentially connected first folding units, and a first folding edge is provided at a connection position of every two adjacent first folding units; each second fabric layer includes multiple sequentially connected second folding units, and a second folding edge is provided at a connection position of every two adjacent second folding units; the multiple first folding units correspond one-to-one with the multiple second folding units, and the first folding edges correspond one-to-one with the second folding edges; each first folding edge is connected to a corresponding second folding edge, and each first folding unit is enclosed with a corresponding second folding unit to form a hollow cavity.

A self-folding and/or self-rolling fabric, such as, for example, a towel or the like, comprises an internal structure of a memory material such as, for example, a metal or metal alloy wire, a metal or metal alloy foil, a polymeric material, or combinations thereof having a memory. When the memory material is heated, such as within a common heat-generating clothes dryer, the memory material reforms into a shape, thereby imparting the shape onto the fabric.
