A filling for frameless furniture is provided that vastly increases the positional stability of the filling by being comprised of high aspect ratio particles that contact and interlock with many more nearby particles than can be accomplished by substantially mono-dimensional prior art particles. The invention further features a process and apparatus for the manufacture of the high aspect ratio particles that provide substantial advantages over the prior art. Included in the advantages are uniformity of support, minimizing voids without support, and lack of resiliency from clustering, clumping and dense packing, all of which result from size disparity of prior art filling that is made rather crudely by foam shredding machines. The invention further includes an apparatus for fabricating the filler.

A filling system includes a first component having a fiber opener configured to open fibers. A second component is connected to the first component. The second component includes a fiber blower configured to blow opened fibers. A third component is connected to the second component. The third component includes a weighing system configured to weigh the opened fibers. A fourth component is connected to the third component. The fourth component includes a filler configured to dispose the opened fibers into a shell. Methods of use are disclosed.

A pet bed includes an exterior cover and an interior wall. The exterior cover has an interior surface that defines an interior of the pet bed, and the exterior cover has an upper portion and a lower portion. The interior wall is connected to both the upper and lower portions of the exterior cover. The interior wall separates the interior of the pet bed into a first filling chamber and a second filling chamber. The interior wall is configured to prevent a first portion of filling material disposed in the first filling chamber from moving into the second filling chamber, and the interior wall is configured to prevent a second portion of filling material disposed in the second filling chamber from moving into the first filling chamber.

A down-fill pillow with a core formed from down feather sheet material pieces used in the fabrication of down insulated products. The size and shape of the pieces do not exceed predetermined sizes. The pieces may have a variety of shapes, such as in block or strip form or of irregular size if formed from trimmings of down sheet material in which is cut patterns for use in the fabrication of insulated articles. The down feather sheet pieces are placed in an envelope formed from one or more down feather sheets and the pieces entangle with one another due to their captive retention in the pillow envelope which restrains the pieces in close contact with one another and limited movement. When the head of a user person is rested on the down-fill pillow, it causes the mixture to compress and mold about the head while remaining entangled and recovering its loft when the head is removed. The method of forming the pillow core by the use of down feather sheet material pieces is also described.

A headrest in which a pad layer is integrally formed, including a portion with a narrow gap, between a mechanism having various types of incorporated functions and a skin member. A shock absorbing member that is an injection-passage-forming member having a foaming raw material injection passage formed so as to run substantially along a direction that is the vertical direction of the headrest in orientation of when a seat is attached, is set in the inside of a skin member, and a foaming raw material for forming the pad layer is injected through the foaming raw material injection passage. The configuration preferably causes the foaming raw material to spread by the foaming start time, as the foaming raw material spreads to the outer side of the headrest, that is, to the inner surface of the skin member, where the pad layer is required to be formed.

The present invention provides a kind of sleeping pillow complying with the spinal medical theories, including the pillow case and fillers. The space enclosed by the said pillow case is divided into the isolated head bearing area and neck bearing area, and the said head bearing area is divided into the middle dented face-up sleeping head bearing area and the side sleeping head bearing area whose sides are higher. The said neck bearing area is divided into the face-up sleeping neck bearing area set in the middle and the side sleeping neck bearing area set on both sides of the said face-up sleeping neck bearing area. The height of the said the side sleeping neck bearing area is not lower than that of the said face-up sleeping neck bearing area. The adjustable sleeping pillow in the present invention that makes the body pressure balanced has a standalone head bearing area and neck bearing area, which can avoid random movement of fillers to ensure the stability of the pillow shape; moreover, the head bearing area is provided with the face-up sleeping and side sleeping bearing areas at different heights, which make a human head feel naturally comfortable while a person is sleeping. The neck bearing area can make the neck closely fit to the sleeping pillow during side sleeping and face-up sleeping giving the neck a mild support force.
