BEAN BAG CHAIRS WITH PILES AND RELATED APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURING METHODS

摘要

Bean bag chairs and related manufacturing methods and apparatus. Some methods comprise joining first and second panels defining corresponding surfaces. The second panel further comprises piles projecting from its surface with a portion of its surface being substantially smooth. A seam between the substantially smooth portion and the first panel joins the panels. The piles can be chenille piles and some of the piles can be removed to create the smooth portion. The second panel, though, can be received with the smooth portion being free of holes. Various methods include joining a zipper to the second panel via another smooth portion. In some chairs the seam is behind the piles. A jig can be placed in the chairs to expand the chairs and the chairs can be supported from above during filing. The chairs can also be vented during the filling via a clamped aperture defined by the chair.
