Multi-layered constructions with shaped baffles

摘要

A multi-layered construction includes a first fabric, a second fabric, and a baffle disposed between the first and second fabrics. The baffle is attached to the first and second fabrics so as to form a plurality of triangular-shaped chambers between the first and second fabrics. In other words, the baffle forms a zigzag-like pattern between the first and second fabrics. Another multi-layered construction also includes a first fabric, a second fabric, and a baffle disposed between the first and second fabrics. This baffle has a non-rectangular cross-section. More particularly, in certain examples, the baffle may have at least one curved edge and/or at least one tapered edge. In other examples, the baffle may have a vase-like cross-section having at least two curved edges.

1. A multi-layered construction, comprising:
a first fabric; a second fabric; and a plurality of baffles disposed between the first and second fabrics, the plurality of baffles having at least a first baffle and a second baffle, wherein the plurality of baffles are attached to the first and second fabrics so as to form a plurality of chambers between the first and second fabrics, and wherein a cross-section of the first baffle varies along the first baffle thereby varying distance between the first and the second fabrics, wherein a cross-section of the second baffle varies along the second baffle thereby varying distance between the first and the second fabrics, and wherein the cross-sections of the first and second baffles are different.
