DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

(10) The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be noted that, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined if not conflicted.

Embodiment 1

(11) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present application discloses a fabric layer 10. The fabric layer 10 includes an outer layer 1 and an inner layer 2. A plurality of first connecting portions 11 are arranged on the outer layer 1, and a plurality of second connecting portions 21 are arranged on the inner layer 2.

(12) The first connecting portions 11 on the outer layer 1 are bonded to the corresponding second connecting portions 21 on the inner layer 2 by dotted sol to form fabric layer connecting portions 101, so that a chamber 4 is formed by every two adjacent fabric layer connecting portions 101, the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 to accommodate a stuffing (e.g., down, cotton, etc.). The material for the stuffing is not specifically limited. With such an arrangement, a plurality of chambers are formed inside the fabric layer. Since the fabric layer connecting portions are formed by applying the dotted sol, the stitches of stitching lines can be avoided, and the stuffing is effectively prevented from leaking out from the stitches.

(13) The dotted sol for bonding the outer layer 1 to the inner layer 2 is heated when applied, that is to say, when the dotted sol is applied or dropped, for example, by a nozzle 201 (shown in FIG. 5) of a dotted sol dispenser (not shown), the dropped dotted sol has been heated to a certain temperature. The dotted sol may be commercially available quick-drying glue (e.g., quick-drying glue of the FASSO® PUR TW8099 type, etc.) or slow-drying glue. In a case where the dotted sol is quick-drying glue, a charging drum for the quick-drying glue is heated to about 130° C., a flow channel for the quick-drying glue is heated to about 180° C., and the quick-drying glue flows from the charging drum to the nozzle through the flow channel, so that the dotted glue is heated to about 130° C. to 180° C. when applied. In a case where the dotted sol is slow-drying glue, a charging drum for the slow-drying glue is heated to no more than 100° C., and a flow channel for the slow-drying glue is heated to no more than 100° C. Optionally, it is also possible to maintain the charging drum and the flow channel at the room temperature without heating (mainly depending upon the viscosity of the slow-drying glue and the glue outlet smoothness of the dispensing valve), so that the dotted sol should not exceed 100° C. during application. Such arrangement of the temperature is advantageous for the dotted sol to firmly connect the outer layer and the inner layer. In addition, the dotted sol can also realize the connection of the outer layer and the inner layer at the room temperature.

(14) The dotted sol is arranged like dots at intervals along the fabric layer connecting portions 101. Such dot-like arrangement at intervals is advantageous to enhance the strength of connection at the fabric layer connecting portions 101.

(15) The dotted sol is arranged in one or more rows along the fabric layer connecting portions 101. As shown in FIG. 1, the dotted sol arranged in three rows is schematically shown. However, the specific arrangement of the dotted sol is not limited thereto.

(16) As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, a method for manufacturing the fabric layer 10 is shown. The method may include steps of: applying, by the nozzle 201 of the dispenser, the dotted sol onto the second connecting portions 21 on the inner layer 2; placing the outer layer 1 on the inner layer 2, so that the first connecting portions 11 on the outer layer 1 are aligned with the corresponding second connecting portions 21 on the inner layer 2 and the dotted sol is located between the first connecting portions 11 and the second connecting portions 21; and, pressing, by the pressure device (not shown) of the dispenser, the overlapped outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2. The pressure device may be a conventional pressure device, for example, a plate-type pressure element. Both the pressure device and the nozzle 201 may be integrated on the dispenser.

(17) When quick-drying glue is selected as the dotted sol, the dotted sol for bonding the outer layer 1 to the inner layer 2 is heated to the temperature ranges from 130° C. to 180° C. when applied, and the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 are pressed for 6 to 8 seconds by the pressure device, the pressure device being heated to 80° C.; and, when slow-drying glue is selected as the dotted sol, the dotted sol for bonding the outer layer 1 to the inner layer 2 is heated to no more than 100° C. when applied, and the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 are pressed for 4 seconds by the pressure device, where the pressure device may not be heated. In this way, the outer layer and the inner layer can be connected firmly by the dotted sol.

Embodiment 2

(18) As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the present application further discloses a fabric layer 10′. The fabric layer 10′ may include an outer layer 1, an inner layer 2 and a plurality of baffle liners 3. A plurality of first connecting portions 11 are arranged on the outer layer 1, and a plurality of second connecting portions 21 are arranged on the inner layer 2. A plurality of baffle liners 3 are arrange at intervals between the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2. Each of the baffle liners 3 includes an upright portion 33, and a first baffle liner connecting portion 31 and a second baffle liner connecting portion 32 which are located at two ends of the upright portion 33; and, each of the baffle liners 3 is also divided into a first baffle liner portion 3a and a second baffle liner portion 3b, the first baffle liner portion 3a at least including the first baffle liner connecting portion 31 and the second baffle liner portion 3b at least including the second baffle liner connecting portion 32.

(19) The first baffle liner connecting portion 31 of each of the baffle liners 3 is bonded to the corresponding first connecting portion 11 on the outer layer 1 by dotted sol to form a first fabric layer connecting portion 101a, and the second baffle liner connecting portion 32 of each of the baffle liners 3 is bonded to the corresponding second connecting portion 21 on the inner layer 2 by dotted sol to form a second fabric layer connecting portion 101b, so that a chamber 4 is formed by every two adjacent baffle liners 3, the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 to accommodate a stuffing (e.g., down, cotton, etc.). The material for the stuffing is not specifically limited. Similar to the Embodiment 1, with such an arrangement, since the first and second fabric layer connecting portions are formed by applying the dotted sol, the stitches of stitching lines is avoided, and the stuffing is effectively prevented from leaking out from the stitches. Meanwhile, due to the arrangement of the baffle liners, there are more space in the chambers, which is helpful to accommodate the stuffing therein, and the fabric layer is more stereoscopic and aesthetic as a whole. FIG. 3 exemplarily shows the baffle liners 3, but the specific shape of the baffle liners is not limited thereto. For example, the upright portion of each of the baffle liners may be located in the middle of the first baffle liner connecting portion 31 or the second baffle liner connecting portion 32, or located at any other position.

(20) Similar to the Embodiment 1, when quick-drying glue is selected as the dotted sol, the dotted sol for bonding the baffle liners 3 to the outer layer 1 or the inner layer 2 is heated to the temperature ranges from 130° C. to 180° C. when applied, and the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 are pressed for 6 to 8 seconds by the pressure device, the pressure device being heated to 80° C.; and, when slow-drying glue is selected as the dotted sol, the dotted sol for bonding the baffle liners 3 to the outer layer 1 or the inner layer 2 is heated to no more than 100° C. when applied, and the baffle liners 3 and the outer layer 1 or the inner layer 2 are pressed for 4 seconds by the pressure device.

(21) The dotted sol may be arranged like dots at intervals along the first fabric layer connecting portions 101a or the second fabric layer connecting portions 101b.

(22) The dotted sol may be arranged in one or more rows along the first fabric layer connecting portions 101a or the second fabric layer connecting portions 101b.

(23) As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, a method for manufacturing the fabric layer 10′ is shown. The method may include steps of: applying, by the nozzle 201 of the dotted sol dispenser, the dotted sol onto the first connecting portions 11 on the outer layer 1 and the second connecting portions 21 on the inner layer 2; placing the first baffle liner portions 3a on the first connecting portions 11 with the dotted sol applied thereon, so that the first connecting portions 11 on the outer layer 1 are aligned with the first baffle liner connecting portions 31; pressing, by the pressure device of the dotted sol dispenser, the overlapped outer layer 1 and the first baffle liners 31; placing the second baffle liner portions 3b on the second connecting portions 21 with the dotted sol applied thereon, so that the second connecting portions 21 on the inner layer 2 are aligned with the second baffle liner connecting portions 32; pressing, by the pressure device of the dotted sol dispenser, the overlapped inner layer 2 and the second baffle liner portions 3b; and, connecting the first baffle liner portions 3a bonded to the outer layer 1 with the second baffle liner portions 3b bonded to the inner layer 2 again. The connection method of connecting the first baffle liner portions 3a with the second baffle liner portions 3b is not limited, and may be sewing, bonding or the like.

(24) As shown in FIG. 8, a sleeping bag 100 formed from the fabric layer is shown. The sleeping bag 100 includes a sleeping bag upper piece 110 and a sleeping bag lower piece 120, wherein the sleeping bag upper piece 110 and the sleeping bag lower piece 120 are integrally formed or connected together in other ways, for example, by a connector such as a zip fastener 130. Each of the sleeping bag upper piece 110 and the sleeping bag lower piece 120 may include the fabric layer 10 or the fabric layer 10′ described above and a possible stuffing. The sleeping bag shown in FIG. 8 is merely an exemplary form. The fabric layer 10 or the fabric layer 10′ can be applied to any type of outdoor sports equipment such as sleeping bags and tents, and can even be applied to garments such as down jackets, cotton jackets and outdoor jackets.

(25) The foregoing description merely shows preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various alterations and variations may be made to the present application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present application shall fall into the protection scope of the present application.
