Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/728,396, filed 19 Oct. 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to an adjustable covering that can be used as a blanket, all-weather cover, sleeping bag, or the like.
- Blankets, sleeping bags, and other types of coverings are typically rectangular in shape. This shape is practical for manufacturing reasons, namely because it results in little or no material waste. However, the rectangular shape may not be the most ergonomical shape for a number of covering applications.
- Conventional sleeping bags, for example, are formed from a single rectangle folded in half to form a smaller rectangle with the fold along one edge, a zippered opening along two edges, and a fourth edge that remains fully opened. Thus, there is no way to adjust the fit if the sleeping bag to snugly and comfortably accommodate individuals of varying sizes and/or girth. Even cocoon-style sleeping bags provide no measures for adjusting the fit of the sleeping bag to accommodate various size individuals.
- Blankets are considerably flexible and can easily be wrapped or tucked around an individual, but conventional blankets fail to provide any measures for maintaining the blanket in the wrapped or tucked position. This feature, or lack thereof, is particularly important for people who toss and turn while sleeping, and for situations in which more than one person is wrapped or tucked within the blanket.
- When enduring inclement weather, or camping outside overnight, it is practical to place an all-weather cover over blankets, sleeping bags, as well as over individuals. However, weather-proof tarps are typically large sheets of plastic that lack the capability to be maintained in place over a blanket or a sleeping bag. Conversely, rainwear in the form of raincoats, rain jackets and rain pants is often too tailored to provide room for a blanket or sleeping bag beneath the rainwear, which results in keeping the body dry but lacks desired comfort.
- Thus, there is a continuing need for a covering, such as a blanket, all-weather cover, or sleeping bag, that can be adjusted to snugly accommodate various sizes of one or more individuals.
- The invention provides an adjustable covering that can be used as a blanket, all-weather cover, sleeping bag, or the like. The adjustability of this covering provides a snug, comfortable fit for individuals of all sizes, as well as for multiple individuals.
- The adjustable covering includes a one-piece back side having a non-angular peripheral shape, such as circular or oval-shaped. A two-piece front side is attached to the back side along a periphery of the back side. There is an opening between first and second front side pieces. The first and second front side pieces, in combination, form the same non-angular peripheral shape as the back side.
- The covering can be folded in practically any manner to encompass the individual or individuals therein. One or more adjustable closures maintain the covering in position. For example, one or more closures may be present along the opening between the first and second front side pieces. Alternatively, or in addition, one or more closures may be located on the back side to which at least one other closure, such as a closure extending from the periphery, may be fastened. Still, other closures may be positioned on the first and/or second front side pieces to which at least one other closure may be fastened. The closures may be located either on the outer surface of the covering or on the interior of the covering. Examples of suitable closures include buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, elastic, D-rings, circular rings, and combinations of any of these closures.
- The back side may be formed of a single, solid piece of fabric. The first and second front side pieces may be approximately identical in size and shape. In certain embodiments, there may be no openings between the front side and the back side along the periphery of the back side. In other embodiments, one or more openings may be formed between the front side and the back side along the periphery of the back side.
- The adjustable covering may be combined with other adjustable coverings. For example, one covering may be fit within another to provide multiple layers of warmth, or for the inner covering to provide warmth while the outer covering provides weather protection. As another example, the coverings may be attached to one another in a tandem manner to provide a greater size covering.
- The covering may be folded in a variety of ways to accommodate a wide range of individuals. For example, the covering may be wrapped around the individual. More particularly, opposing peripheral edges of the covering can be folded inward on top of the two-piece front side, thereby forming first and second parallel fold lines. The opening between the first and second front side pieces may be perpendicular to the first and second parallel fold lines, such that the opening is still fully accessible. Alternatively, the opening between the first and second front side pieces may be parallel to the first and second parallel fold lines, such that the opposing ends of the opening are folded onto the front side leaving only the central region of the opening accessible. A portion of the covering extending below the individual's feet may be folded upward to encompass the feet.
- In certain situations, the covering may first be folded in half, such that the first front side and the portion of the back side attached to the first front side are tucked between the second front side and the portion of the back side attached to the second front side, thereby forming a semi-circle. The covering may also provide closures for securing the covering in a compactly folded position for transporting and storing the covering.
- This invention will become more fully understood from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings described herein below, and wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts.

- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the covering 20 includes a one-piece back side 22 and a two-piece front side 24 attached to theback side 22 along aperiphery 26 of theback side 22. The overall shape of thecovering 20 is non-angular, as defined by theperiphery 26 of theback side 22. As used herein, the term “non-angular” refers to shapes having no more than two straight lines and no corners. For example, thecovering 20 may be circular (FIGS. 1 and 2 ) or oval-shaped (FIGS. 3 a and 3 b). - The
back side 22 of the covering 20 may be formed from a single, solid piece of fabric, as shown inFIG. 2 . Alternatively, two or more pieces of fabric may be sewn or otherwise attached to one another to form the one-piece back side 22 (not shown). - The two-
piece front side 24 may be formed from two single, solid pieces of fabric, as shown inFIG. 1 . Alternatively, two or more pieces of fabric may be sewn or otherwise attached to one another to form each piece of the two-piece front side 24 (not shown). A firstfront side piece 28 and a secondfront side piece 30 include anopening 32 therebetween. Together, the first and secondfront side pieces back side 22. The first and secondfront side pieces opening 32 and/or positioning theopening 32 within an overlap of the twofront side pieces opening 32 between twofront side pieces - The covering 20 may be used in a variety of configurations. For example, a
person 34 using the covering 20 can slip their legs into the covering 20 through theopening 32 between theback side 22 and one of thefront side pieces 30, as illustrated inFIG. 4 a. Opposingperipheral edges 36 can then be folded inward on top of the two-piece front side 24 and fastened in a central or side region of thefront side 24, as illustrated inFIG. 4 b, thereby forming first and secondparallel fold lines opening 32. The opposingperipheral edges 36 can either overlap one another, meet edge-to-edge, or be spaced apart. - In certain embodiments, the covering 20 may include one or
more openings 42 between thefront side 24 and theback side 22 along theperiphery 26 of theback side 22, for example to allow a person's feet to extend outside the covering 20, thereby enabling aperson 34 to use the covering 20 while standing, as shown inFIG. 4 c. Alternatively, the front and back sides 24, 22 may be attached to one another about thefull periphery 26 of theback side 22 without any openings therebetween. Anyopenings 42 along theperiphery 26 may or may not include one ormore closures 48. - Another configuration in which the covering 20 may be used is illustrated in
FIGS. 5 a and 5 b. More particularly, aperson 34 can slip their body into theopening 32 vertically, as shown inFIG. 5 a, and can then wrap the opposingperipheral edges 36 inward on top of the two-piece front side 24, as shown inFIG. 5 b, thereby forming first and secondparallel fold lines opening 32. As in the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 4 b, the opposingperipheral edges 36 can either overlap one another, meet edge-to-edge, or be spaced apart. - Prior to wrapping the opposing
peripheral edges 36 inward and thereby formingparallel fold lines peripheral edge 44 between the opposingperipheral edges 36 below the person's feet may be folded inward on top of the two-piece front side 24 and fastened in a central region of thefront side 24, as shown inFIG. 5 c, thereby forming athird fold line 46 that is perpendicular to the first and secondparallel fold lines - In embodiments in which the two
front side pieces opening 32 is formed within the overlapped portion, as illustrated inFIGS. 6 a and 6 b. In such embodiments, the opposingperipheral edges 36 can be wrapped inward on top of the person, as in the embodiments illustrated inFIGS. 4 b and 5 b; however, the edges of theopening 32 may not be either parallel or perpendicular to the resultingparallel fold lines -
FIG. 7 illustrates a configuration that is particularly suitable for use by a person in a sitting position. In this configuration, the firstfront side piece 28 and the portion of theback side 22 attached to the firstfront side piece 28 are tucked between the secondfront side piece 30 and the portion of theback side 22 attached to the secondfront side piece 30. A person may insert his or her feet into the covering 20 and may subsequently wrap the covering 20 about himself or herself, in the same manner illustrated inFIGS. 4 b, 5 b, and 5 c, for example. - The tucked configuration shown in
FIG. 7 may also be used for folding the covering for storage and transportation. For example, after tucking the covering in the manner illustrated inFIG. 7 , the bottom portion of the periphery may then be folded inward, and optionally fastened, followed by folding two opposing peripheral side portions inward and fastening, as illustrated inFIG. 8 a. The foldedcovering 20 may then be folded in half again, if desired. Alternatively, from the configuration shown inFIG. 7 , the covering 20 may be rolled up and fastened, either with or without folding thebottom portion 44 of theperiphery 26 inward.FIGS. 8 b and 8 c illustrate two additional folded or rolled configurations suitable for storing or transporting thecovering 20. - As indicated, the covering 20 may include one or
more closures 48 to secure the covering 20 in place in a wrapped, folded, or rolled configuration. Theclosures 48 suitably provide some adjustability. Examples ofsuitable closures 48 include, but are not limited to, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, such as Velcro hook-and-loop fasteners, elastic, D-rings, circular rings, and combinations of any of these devices. - The
closures 48 may be provided in any suitable location on thecovering 20. For example, one ormore closures 48 may be located along theopening 32 between the firstfront side piece 28 and the secondfront side piece 30, as shown inFIGS. 3 a, 3 b, and 7.Closures 48 located along theopening 32 may be used to close theopening 32, and/or may be fastened to a peripheral region or other region of thefront side 24 that is folded inward and aligned with theclosures 48. One ormore closures 48 may also be positioned on theback side 22, as shown inFIG. 2 , thereby providing attachment to a peripheral region or other region of thefront side 24 that has been wrapped around and aligned with theclosures 48 on the back side. One ormore closures 48 may also be positioned on the first and/or secondfront side pieces FIGS. 3 a, 3 b, and 7, either along theopening 32 or away from theopening 32. Additionally or alternatively, one ormore closures 48 may be positioned along theperiphery 26 of theback side 22, as shown inFIG. 1 . Theclosures 48 are suitably located on an outer surface of the covering 20, but in certain embodiments, such as in reversible embodiments, theclosures 48 may be positioned on the interior of thecovering 20. - The
closures 48 may also serve as a carrying handle, such as when theclosure 48 includes elastic, a D-ring or circular rings with a corresponding strap, or one or more straps with hook or loop fastener attached to the strap. For example, straps that are used as part of aclosure 48 may include a loop into which a person's hand may fit for easier carrying. - As described above, the
closures 48 may vary in type, number, size and/or location, thereby providing a snug comfortable fit that can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of sizes. The covering 20 with theseadjustable closures 48 provides an improvement over conventional sleeping bags attributable to the ease of use and adjustability provided by the describedclosures 48 compared to the zippers and snaps found on conventional sleeping bags. - The covering 20 itself can be provided in a wide range of sizes to accommodate individuals ranging from small babies to large adults. The covering 20 may also be used to accommodate more than one individual. For example, the covering 20 may have an overall diameter or length ranging from about 4 inches (10 centimeters) to about 120 inches (3 meters), or from about 12 inches (30 centimeters) to about 96 inches (244 centimeters), or from about 24 inches (61 centimeters) to about 84 inches (213 centimeters).
- The covering 20 may be used alone or in combination with
other coverings 20 of the invention. For example, one covering 20 may be slipped inside another covering 20 for multiple layers of warmth, or the outer covering may provide all-weather protection while the inner covering provides enhanced warmth.Multiple coverings 20 may also be used in combination in a tandem manner, such that two ormore coverings 20 may be attached to one another withadjustable closures 48 or sewn together to provide a larger size to accommodate multiple individuals, for example. - The covering 20 can be made from any of a wide variety of fabrics. Suitable fabrics include, but are not limited to, flannel, fleece, wool, cotton, knit, polyester, nylon, and combinations thereof. The
front side 24 and theback side 22 may each be a single layer of fabric or may include multiple fabric layers. Additionally, the front and/or back sides 24, 22 may include a filler for warmth, such as polyester batting, positioned between two outer layers of fabric. The covering 20 may also be reversible with different fabrics on the interior surface and the outer surface. - Benefits of the non-angular shape of the covering 20 include the ability to easily accommodate individuals of varying sizes and/or girth in a snug, comfortable manner. This shape also allows the feet to be easily placed inside of the covering 20, thereby ensuring greater warmth. Depending on the size of the individuals, a
single covering 20 can typically be used by more than one user. Because of the adjustable features, a covering 20 that accommodates multiple users can be adjusted to accommodate a single user in as snug a manner as thesame covering 20 fits multiple users. - In one example, an adjustable covering in accordance with the invention has a circular periphery with a diameter of 5 feet (152 centimeters). The back side is formed of a single piece of fleece and is sewn entirely around its periphery to two front side pieces of fleece. The two front side pieces are identical in size and shape, with an opening formed between the two front side pieces. Hook and loop type fasteners are located on one side between the front and back pieces and a strip of elastic is on the other side between the front and back pieces. Additionally, a strip of elastic is located on one of the front pieces to provide two options for closing around the person, and another elastic piece is located at the end of the opening to be used to secure the covering when it is rolled up for transport or storage.
- In another example, an adjustable covering in accordance with the invention has an oval periphery with dimensions of 72 inches (183 cm) long by 60 inches (152 cm) wide. The back side is formed of a double layer of fabric with fleece on the inside and a nylon waterproof layer on the outside and is sewn entirely around its periphery to two front pieces of fleece and nylon. Two elastic closures are located on one side of the outer perimeter and two hook and loop closures are located on the other side of the outer perimeter. Two additional pieces of elastic are located on the opening on the front side. One additional piece of elastic is located at the end of the opening. This example also has a hood which can be attached by hook and look closures.
- In yet another example, an adjustable covering in accordance with the invention has an oval periphery with dimensions of 84 inches (213 cm) long by 60 inches (152 cm) wide. The device includes two layers of fabric, an insulating layer and a waterproof layer, each with a detachable hood and each with hook and loop and elastic closures secured in the manner described in the previous example. Each of the layers may be used separately or they may by used together, with the insulating layer placed inside of the waterproof layer. Each layer also has openings for the hands and feet with can either be used or closed using the hook and loop located in each opening.
- In still another example, an adjustable covering in accordance with the invention has a round periphery with a diameter of 24 inches (61 cm). The device is comprised of fleece with hook and loop and elastic closures secured at either end of the device. An infant is placed with their feet between the front and the back layers through the opening which is in a horizontal position. The top portion is lifted over the head and the closures are pulled together and secured to fit around the infant's body.
- In another example, an adjustable covering in accordance with the invention has a round periphery with a diameter of 48 inches (122 cm). The device includes terrycloth with hook and loop and elastic fasteners secured at either end of the device. A child steps into the device, with the opening in a vertical position, wraps the device around their front and secures the fasteners.
