Abstract: A free fibre or loose fibre structure for padding comprising a shell containing a plurality of free or loose fibres, said structure being characterised in that said free or loose fibres have a cut that reproduces the length, and in part the fineness, of genuine goose down.

Abstract: A method for making a thermoinsulating padding, particularly for the cloth article and furniture fields, comprises the steps of: providing a lap by carding in bulk fibers comprising at least a thermobinding fiber; applying, by spraying or spreading, a low glass transition temperature resin, or a mixture of resins comprising at least a low glass transition temperature resin at least on a side of said lap only to the surface layers of said side; drying the resin coated lap in a drying oven to start a cross linking of said resins; actuating said low glass transition temperature resin (previously applied either individually or in a mixture with other resins) by pressure calendering under a controlled temperature, thereby providing a dynamically operating padding.

Abstract: A method for making a thin padding from stabilized fibers, for clothing articles, quilts and sleeping bags, having the steps of: providing a synthetic fiber lap; processing the synthetic fiber lap by spreading thermoplastic resins on a surface of the synthetic fiber lap; recovering excess thermoplastic resins from the processing step where thermoplastic resins are spread, recycling the excess thermoplastic resin in another processing step where thermoplastic resins are spread; heating said thermoplastic resins and said lap synthetic fibers; and reducing a thickness of said lap and smoothing the synthetic resin lap to provide a thin padding.

Abstract: A method for making a wadding strip element, in particular to be used for making paddings of clothing articles such windcheaters and/or shoes, the wadding material being adapted for depositing thereon at least an auxiliary material, comprises at least the further step of subjecting the wadding strip element to a combined chemical, mechanical and thermal treatment process adapted to increase the mechanical strength of the wadding strip element and reduce its porosity, thereby allowing the deposit on at least a surface of at least a printing material or an auxiliary material thereby the deposited material only slightly penetrates the wadding material to create on the surface a predetermined printed pattern configuration adapted to withstand washing operations and inevitable wear, without decomposing.

Abstract: A method for making a thin padding from stabilized fibers, for clothing articles, quilts and sleeping bags, comprises the steps of: providing a synthetic fiber lap; resin processing said synthetic fiber lap by thermoplastic resins spread on a surface of said lap; recovering said resins spread in said resin application step for reusing said resins in another resin processing step; heating said thermoplastic resins and said lap synthetic fibers; reducing a thickness of said lap and smoothing said lap to provide a thin padding.
