Abstract: A pillow is provided with an insert or inner pillow that is removable. Having removable insert or inner pillow enables filling of the removable inner pillow with a different filling material that is not amenable to washing. Thus the outer pillow that is in contact with a person's body and tends to accumulate dust and microbes among the fill can be washed after removal of the insert or inner pillow. The insert or inner pillow can be filled with a less expensive filling material such as synthetic fibers, viscoelastic foam, latex etc. whereas the outer pillow can have a superior quality filling material that is softer, fluffier and has better insulating properties such as down or down mixed/blended with feather, thus providing an affordable pillow with comfort and superior characteristics of down and can be laundered to maintain hygiene. The outer surface of the inner pillow may include a fluid impermeable material.

In the microfiber blend embodiments, each strand may preferably have 6 to 9 crimps per inch, and the microfiber strands may preferably be 0.8 to 1.4 denier.

Abstract: The invention concerns a feather-based padding product having a coherent shape resulting from the presence of a structure in the form of a three-dimensional network; said network consists of mutually bound thermoplastic fibres (2), which enclose said feathers. Said fibres (2) are first mixed with the feathers, then with appropriate heat treatment, said fibres are bonded at their contact points (5). The padding product is thus in the form of a web and it is packed in rolls or in the form of slabs.

Abstract: An ornamental light string stand includes a substrate, a shaft mounted on top of the substrate and having a star mounted on a free end of the shaft. Supporting units are securely connected to the shaft. Each supporting unit has a base, a centrally defined through hole defined in the base to communicate with the sleeve so as to allow the shaft to extend through the sleeve and the through hole. Cutouts are equally distributed on and defined through the base. A ring is securely connected to an underside of the base. Extensions are pivotally connected to the ring and each extension extends out from a corresponding one of the cutout. A stop is securely mounted on a top face of the base to limit pivotal movement of each extension in the corresponding cutout.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for mounting and displaying a taxidermy display, usually a bird or fowl. A bird is mounted on a rod appropriately sized to the birds size and weight. Said rod may be bent to effect the desired presentation of the mounted bird. Types of mounts include landing birds, flying birds right and left directions, or others not traditionally used. The bird is secured on the rod eliminating wires for holding the bird and eliminating driftwood as a mounting base. The resulting combination of the rod with its ability to be bent to and then holding the desired position, the affixing of the bird to that rod, and the affixing of the rod to a mounting base which may be securely affixed to a wall provides unsurpassed stability for the mounted bird. The rod being fixedly or adjustably joined to the mounting base also provides a permanent and more stable mounting apparatus than the heretofore unstable methods of mounting birds.

Abstract: The invention relates to superabsorbent fibre flocks comprising a core of absorptive polymer wherein short polymer fibres have been embedded, such short polymer fibres protruding at least partially from the core. Such superabsorbent fibre flocks can be produced by binding absorbent polymer particles to each other and to the polymer fibres with the aid of a bonding agent and by grinding the fibre flocks thus obtained to the required particulate size. The superabsorbent fibre flocks according to the invention can be used to advantage in sanitary products, especially in baby diapers, menstrual pads and incontinence articles and have further application in separating water and aqueous components from hydrophobic liquids.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the treatment of insulating materials in the supple, fluffy state, such as down, wherein the fluff of the down is subjected to a physical treatment adapted to take the filaments of the fluff into a substantially radial position, giving the fluff its maximum volume in which it is stabilized by the superficial deposit of a resin. The apparatus for carrying out the process comprises a dehydration enclosure in the form of a rotating drum with inner blades, hot air inlet and upper evacuation. The invention is more particularly applicable to the treatment of down for filling duvets, sleeping bags or the like.

Abstract: This invention relates to filling material composed of crimped fibers joined together at one end with a high density, and having crimps located in mutually deviating phases, while the other ends of the fibers stay free, and a process for manufacturing such filling material. The filling material exhibits superior bulkiness and thermal insulation, since the recovery force or resiliency of the crimps located in mutually deviating phases causes the fibers to spread sufficiently to contain a large quantity of air among themselves.
