`The present new utility model relates to beddings, including bed covers, bed
`
`sheets, pillow covers and pillow cases, etc. More specifically, it is a bedding with a
`knitted fabric.
`
`Backorou nd Technolou, y
`Existing beddings all use the woven fabrics made by waip machines. Though
`woven fabrics are resistant to washing and it is not easy for them to become deformed,
`they lack comfort and softness. With an improvement in the people's standards of living.
`people have a higher demand for the comfort and softness of beddings. The common
`knitted fabrics have the comfort and softness requiied, but certain technical
`measurements are required to be taken to achieve the use of the common knitted fabrics
`on beddings.
`Contents of the Invention
`
`The purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the
`existing technology by providing an improved bedding, so that beddin gs are more
`comfortable and softer.
`
`The technical solution used by the president utility model in resolving the
`aforementioned technical issue is: A bedding with a knitted fabric, comprising a weft
`
`knitted textile substrate. It is characterized in that on the edges of the aforementioned
`textile substrate, there are overseams comprising two needles and four threads or three
`needles and five threads.
`
`To optimize the aforementioned technical solution, the measures adopted by the
`present new utility model also include:
`On the textile substrate, there are reinforcement ribs comprising cutting needles.
`There an: sock sockets on the textile substrate.
`
`A dustproof layer is placed on the textile substrate. The aforementioned dustproof
`layer comprises a water solution, which comprises a fluoride, organic silicone
`compounds, surfactants, adhesives and a nano ceramic and which is then applied on the
`textile substrate.
`
`Since the present new utility model has adopted the aforementioned technical
`
`measures, compared with the existing technology, it has the following advantages:
`1.
`It is quite comfortable and soft;
`2.
`It is stiff, smooth, flexible and uesistant to wrinkles;
`
`3.
`4.
`5.
`
`It has good moisture absorption;
`It is easy to treat for functions, such as dustproofing treatment, etc.; and
`It is easy to clean.

`
`Specific Embodiment
`
`Following is a detailed for the description of the present new utility model in
`combination with the figure.
`Refer to the figure. The present new utility model comprises a weft knitted textile
`substrate 1. On the edges of textile substrate 1, there are overseams 2 comprising two
`needles and four threads or three needles and five threads. To make the bedding stronger
`and more appealing, reinforcement ribs 3 comprising cutting needles can be formed on
`textile substrate 1. Based on the need, sock sockets 4 can also be placed on textile
`substrate 1. Weft knitting machines generally can only knit materials with a smaller
`breadth, whereas beddings are rather wide. To overcome the limits of conventional
`production equipment, a plurality of sewing equipment tables can be pieced together for
`operations. The sewing process is easy. Functional treatment can also be performed on
`the bedding in the present new utility model. A dustproof layer 5 is placed on textile
`substrate 1. The aforementioned clustproof layer 5 can comprise a water solution, which
`comprises a fluoride, organic silicone compounds, surfactants, adhesives and a nano
`ceramic and which is then applied on the textile substrate 1. The present utility model can
`be made into beddings such as bed covers, bed sheets, quilt covers and pillow cases, etc.

`(54) [Title of the Invention] Functional bedding
`(5?) [Abstract]
`[Purpose] The present invention is to provide bedding that is capable of replacing a part thereof so as to
`recover functionality in an arbitrary manner, or to allocate another functionality thereto.
`[Constitution] Functional bedding comprising a multiple number of separate pieces that can be mutually
`freely attached or detached, wherein functionality is allocated to at least one of the separate pieces.
`
`
`
`000623
`
`

`
`[Claim]
`[Claim 1] Functional bedding comprising a multiple number ot' separate pieces that can be mutually freely
`attached or detached, wherein functionality is allocated to at least one of the separate pieces.
`
`[Detailed Explanation of the Invention]
`[0001]
`[lndustrial Field ol‘ Application] The present invention relates to bedding that is obtained by the arbitrary
`allocation of functionality to at least a portion thereof.
`[0002]
`[Background Technologies] Traditionally, the allocation of functionality to bedding has been conducted by
`means of physical techniques that utilire unique characteristics possessed by the libers themselves. such as
`insulating tibcr materials, absorbent fiber materials, and the like.
`In some special cases, materials that
`have been processed by chemical treatments have been also utilized.
`[{l[)0'3]
`[Problem that the Invention is to Solve] However, in every case, the allocation of functionality to bedding
`has been conducted to the entire portion of the bedding cover or the bedding pad. Thus, when
`functionality has been allocated through chemical treatments, functions have been diminished by repeated
`washing.
`In an attempt to retain the initial functions, it has been necessary to replace the entire portion of
`the cover or the pad even when they have not at all been damaged, which has been problematic.
`Alternatively, if it has been necessary to allocate some other functions, it has been necessary to replace the
`entire portion of the cover or the pod even when the functions have been allocated through physical
`techniques. The present invention is designed to solve such traditional problems, and to provide bedding
`that is capable of replacing a part thereof so as to recover functionality in an arbitrary manner, or to allocate
`another functionality thereto.
`[0004]
`[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention solves the problem stated above, by means of
`functional bedding that comprises a multiple number ofseparate pieces that can be mutually freely attached
`or detached, wherein functionality is allocated to at least one ofthe separate pieces.
`[0005] The number of separate pieces that constitute the bedding ofthe present invention is not particularly
`limited; however, it
`is desirably in the range from 5 to 15.
`If it is smaller than 5, this is economically
`advantageous. but the separate pieces might not be positioned at a location that requires the functionality.
`Conversely, if it exceeds 15, the separate pieces may be positioned at a location requiring the functionality,
`but the cost involved in forming the bedding is increased; moreover, because the bedding is divided into
`many small pieces, the resulting bedding becomes rough, which makes it difficult to obtain comfortable
`sleep.
`[0006] Moreover, “bedding" in the present invention collectively refer to items utilized for sleeping, such
`as comforters, mattresses, blankets, sofas, cushions, sleeping bags, blankets utilized in vehicles, and the like.
`“Functionality” in the present invention refers to various types of functions that are required for bedding,
`such as hygrosco_picity, deodorization, antibacterial, fi‘agrance_. frcsliness, insulation. and the like, These
`ii.i.rictions are usually allocated to the cover‘ or the pad ofthe be-Llditig.
`[(lt‘ril'.7] Figure l
`is a plan view showing an example of the functional bedding of the present invention.
`which has been embodied as a mattress comprising live separate pieces.
`Separate piece l
`is positioned at
`the head. and separate piece 5 is positioned at the feet.
`In this case, in order to render the separate pieces
`to be mutually freely attachable and detachable, desired connecting members, such as snaps, hooks,
`buttons, planar tapes, ribbons, and the like, may be piovided on the sides of separate pieces i
`to 5.
`[0008] Hygroscopicity can be allocated through the thllowing methods: a liydrophilic compound such as
`polyethylene glycol and the lik
