Description
WEIGHTED BLANKET
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blanket or cover with a weighted perimeter or border useful for covering humans. This invention is an improvement over known blankets and covers because the weighted perimeter or border serves as a type of anchor, improving the physics of the blanket or cover, by allowing the blanket or cover to rest more firmly on the user, minimizing shifting.
Numerous materials have been used as blankets and covers for people engaging in sleep, rest, relaxation: and the pursuit of warmth. Blankets and covers come in many different shapes, sizes and designs based on particular needs, tastes, preferences and materials available.
A primary problem with the typical blanket or cover and lighter weight blankets or covers is that when the user engaging in sleep, rest, relaxation or pursuit of warmth shifts the body either consciously or unconsciously, such shifts often tend to cause the blanket or cover in use to also shift thereby falling or moving out of the desired position chosen by the user. The user of the blanket or cover must then readjust the blanket or cover to replace it in its original desired or chosen position. Such shifting commonly occurs with thin blankets or covers which tend to shift often due to their light weight.
Afghans, throws and other blankets and covers used for warmth while relaxing, resting, sleeping or while engaging in leisure activities such as reading a book on a couch, watching television on a couch or chair etc., also have the tendency to shift, move or fall out of position when the user shifts his/her body.
Airplane blankets are small and thin and also shift position frequently when being used. It is difficult to keep such blankets or covers of this size and weight in place, especially when the user is trying to sleep in a somewhat upright position.
Prior to this invention, blankets, covers, sheets, bedspreads, comforters, afghans, throws and other similar cloths used for covering humans have relied on bulk, thickness, shape and/or size to stay in the desired position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blanket or cover with a weighted perimeter or border for covering mammals or humans. The blankets or covers of variable thickness and/or weight and made of various known materials or fabrics having a weighted perimeter or border provide an "anchoring" ability to keep the blanket or cover in the desired or chosen position. In a specific embodiment, the invention provides for light or medium thickness blankets or covers for use in covering mammals or humans which are weighted along the perimeter or border having the "anchoring" ability without the bulk of a thick blanket or cover.
In another embodiment the invention provides blankets or covers with a weighted perimeter or border that can be used as a layer of warmth for covering mammals or humans engaging in outdoor leisure activity such as camping, sporting event spectating, etc.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings an embodiment of the invention. It is understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific elements and arrangement shown but encompasses various blankets and covers weighted at the perimeter or border for covering humans or mammals which variations would be obvious to one skilled in the art from a reading of the present specification.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the blanket or cover with a weighted perimeter or border for covering humans or mammals.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the blanket or cover showing with more specificity a particular embodiment of the weighted perimeter or border.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Refernng to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an elevated planar view of the blanket or cover A with the weighted perimeter or border B. The perimeter or border B
contains a weighted material. The blanket or cover can be made of any suitable material for making blankets or covers known to those skilled in the art. The blanket or cover as shown is approximately in the shape of a square with, but not limited to, rounded edges. It is S understood, however, that the blanket or cover may be of any shape suitable for covering a human or mammal, including but not limited to regular shapes such as square, rectangular, circular and octagonal or irregular shapes. The preferred shape is square or rectangular.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the bottom side of the blanket or cover, wherein D is a flexible tube filled with beans, distributed throughout the tube. The tube D, in this particular embodiment, is secured within a folded over portion of the edge of the blanket or cover, thereby forming a retaining pocket around the perimeter or border of the blanket. In this specific embodiment, C represents a stitch securing the tube D, within the folded over portion of the edge of the blanket or cover. E represents particles used to create the weighted perimeter or border within the tube. In the present instance, the weighted particles comprise beans, such as used in common bean bags. The weighted perimeter or border allows the human user to position the blanket in the desired position to hold the blanket or cover in place while resting, relaxing, sleeping and the like.
It is understood that the blanket, throw or cover can be made of any material known in the art suitable for a blanket or cover used for covering a human or mammal.
As discussed above, the blanket can be of any shape suitable for covering a human or mammal, which shapes include, but are not limited to, square and rectangular.
As shown in the drawings, the weighted perimeter or border comprises a tube filled with beans sewn into a folded over portion of the edge of the blanket or cover. The tube can be comprised of any material or substance suitable for human use which is pliable or flexible, to allow for folding of the blanket or cover, yet is of sufficient strength to contain the weighting material. Such tube can be made of, but not limited to, cloth, rubber, plastic, cellophane and the like. The weighted material used to fill the tube can be any material suitable for providing sufficient weight to hold the blanket or cover in place on the human or mammalian user, but is capable of allowing folding of the blanket or cover for storage and is preferably, but not limited to, solid or semi-solid materials.
Examples of such weighting material include, but are not limited to, beans, rice, pellets, weighted particles, polypellets, polypropylene pellets, weighted stuffing material, P.E.
pellets, plastic particles and the like.
As shown in the drawings, the tube is secured around the perimeter or border of the blanket or cover by stitching a folded over portion of the edge of the blanket around the tube. It is understood that such stitching can be achieved using any known material suitable for stitching on blankets or covers used by humans or mammals.
Alternatively, the folded over portion of the edge of the blanket or cover can be secured with a zipper, buttons, snaps, VELCROTM hook and loop fasteners, hooks and loops, tacking, fasteners or any other material known for securing such edge of material in place. Such alternative embodiments allow for easy access or removal of the weighted tube for repair of the tube or easy cleaning of the blanket or cover.
For illustration purposes, a particular embodiment of the invention comprises a multipurpose domestic blanket or cover useful for covering humans or mammals with a weighted perimeter or border comprising a cloth tube filled with beans or plastic particles distributed throughout the tube, secured along the perimeter of the blanket or cover in a folded over portion of the edge of the blanket or cover, such edge being sewn closed or closeable with a zipper or other fastening means.
Alternatively, it is envisioned that the weighted perimeter or border may be a separate piece from the blanket or cover. Such separate piece would be made of a suitable material for attaching to the blanket or cover and would be tubular in nature. As used herein, the term "tubular in nature" refers to any tube-like material of any shape or size capable of providing containment of a weighted material or substance, yet being flexible enough for folding. Such separate tubular piece would then be attached to the perimeter or border of the blanket or cover by any securing or fastening means known to those skilled in the art for attaching two materials together. Such securing or fastening means include, but are not limited to, zippers, buttons, snaps, hooks, VELCROTM hook and loop fasteners, tacking materials and the like.
One embodiment of the present invention can be made as follows. A piece of polyester polar fleece material of approximately 65 inch by 65 inch is provided, with a cover stitch applied to its edge. The edges of a woven material are sewn together to form a tube, filled with approximately 620-grams, of beans, and then sewn closed.
The filled woven tube is placed along the edge of the blanket, which is then folded over.
Finally, a stitch is applied to the folded over edge, thereby creating the weighted perimeter.
An alternate embodiment of the present invention can be made as follows. A
piece of polyester polar fleece material of approximately 63 inch by 63 inch is provided.
In addition, a 4-inch strip of taffeta material is provided for the flexible tube. The edges of the tafetta material are sewn together, except at one point, to create the flexible tube.
Then approximately 700 grams of polypropylene pellets are inserted into the tube and the tube is sewn closed. The edge of the polar fleece material is folded over, with the filled tube therein. A stitch is then applied along the folded over edge, thereby creating the weighted perimeter. A finishing touch is added with Poly tape.
As used herein the term "perimeter" means the border, circumference or outer boundary of a blanket oi- cover material of any shape or size which terms can all be used interchangeably. Alternatively, the term "perimeter" can mean that the weighted material or substance is placed at the portion of the border or outer boundary, including, but not limited to, 1 side, 2 sides, 3 sides, a portion of any side, or one or more corner portions and any combination thereof, or the like.
The embodiments and illustrations of the invention herein are intended to be merely illustrative of the present invention, and not limiting thereof in either scope or spirit. Those with skill in the art will readily understand that known variations of shapes, sizes, materials and designs can be used to make the weighted blankets or covers of the present invention.
