Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of shielding or weakening electromagnetic fields by means of an easy-care, sleep-promoting textile device.

STATE OF THE ART

Nowadays there is an increasing need for textiles that shield electromagnetic radiation. Many people have the impression that they sleep more peacefully or better when their cell phones are switched off or no electrical consumers are active during the night's rest.

Various textile systems are known from the prior art, which are designed to shield electromagnetic radiation from a sleeping place.

That's how it describes DE 2020 04007037U1 a system for attenuating or shielding external electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic field acting on a sleeping place. For this purpose, a structure made of a fabric is proposed that contains an electrically conductive material and can form a Faraday cage.

To shield from electromagnetic fields, the CN208259465U a multi-layer system, whereby the layers are designed to shield electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, the device includes anti-bacterial layers that are designed to prevent mite infestation.

The DE19929077A1 proposes a silver fabric to shield electric and high-frequency magnetic fields. For this purpose, the surface of a synthetic or natural fiber yarn (e.g. polyamide, cotton) is coated with silver and the yarn is woven into a fabric that shields electromagnetic radiation.

The CN205923606U proposes a duvet that has a deodorizing and anti-bacterial effect. In addition to silver fibers, this also contains a photocatalytic layer made of titanium dioxide, which breaks down bad-smelling organic substances such as formaldehyde and ammonia or converts them into water and carbon dioxide.

The CA2937789A1 describes a blanket that contains beads in pockets, whereby the beads are designed to emit infrared radiation and can have a deodorizing effect.

Further textile devices that are designed to shield against electromagnetic radiation and/or for an antibacterial or deodorizing effect are from the CN105751638B , the EP3300634A1 , the DE20102560U1 , the CN214510585U , the KR100894037B1 , the CN211106003U , the JP3037522U known.

No device is known from the prior art which, on the one hand, attenuates or shields electromagnetic radiation and, on the other hand, has an additional sleep-promoting effect that goes beyond the electromagnetic shielding. An additional sleep-promoting effect can have a positive effect on a person's well-being, in particular a person's more restful sleep.

TASK

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device which enables the shielding of a person from electromagnetic radiation, wherein the device should have an additional sleep-promoting effect in addition to an anti-microbial property.

SOLUTION

The task is achieved with a covering textile device with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims, the description and the exemplary embodiments.

GENERAL BENEFITS

The present device according to the invention has the main advantage over the prior art that, in addition to electromagnetic shielding and an anti-microbial property, it also promotes sleep.

Further advantages and advantageous refinements result from the subclaims, the description and the exemplary embodiments.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a covering textile device for covering at least part of a person, in particular according to the type and extent of an entire person, wherein the covering textile device comprises at least two layers which are formed from a flexible textile, a first layer and a second layer being in the Arranged or can be arranged one above the other essentially over the entire area or completely over the entire area. The first layer is connected to the second layer or designed to be connectable. A third layer is or can be arranged to cover the layers between the first layer and the second layer. The flexible textile of the first layer and/or second layer is designed to be anti-microbial and/or anti-electromagnetic. The third layer comprises at least one fragrance additive, which is described below.

A covering textile device is understood here to mean a device which is designed to cover at least part of a person, in particular a significant part of the body surface (such as the upper body), particularly preferably according to the type and extent of an entire person, i.e. against heat loss to at least partially isolate the environment. Common covering textile devices include, for example, blankets. These are usually used when a person is laying down to rest. A blanket can be a bed cover. Furthermore, a covering textile device can also include a duvet cover, a fitted bed sheet or an item of clothing (e.g. jacket, coat).

Typically, a covering textile device, such as a common bed cover, includes two large panels joined, e.g., sewn, together along the edge and designated a top and a bottom, which include an insulating material (e.g., down). Here, the top and bottom are to be defined as the first layer and second layer, with the orientation being arbitrary, for example in relation to the part of the person to be covered. The first layer and the second layer each represent the spatial and surface boundary of the covering textile device and are formed from a flat, flexible textile.

A flexible textile includes textile raw materials as well as non-textile raw materials of natural or synthetic origin, which are processed using different processes to form a cord-shaped structure (also: yarn) or sheet-shaped structure (also: fabric), which is highly flexible. For example, animal fibers, vegetable fibers and/or synthetic chemical fibers (artificial fibers) can be used. A flexible textile includes materials such as woven, knitted, knitted, braided, stitched fabrics, nonwovens and felts. Components mentioned as examples that make up the fabric or which are included in a fabric are polyester, acrylic, polyamide/nylon, aramid, elastane, polyurethane, cotton, sheep's wool, fleece.

The first and second layers are connected to one another, in particular via the edge regions, or are designed to be connectable to one another. If they are connected to one another, the connection can be achieved, for example, via a sewing process with a sewing thread, whereby the first and second layers can no longer be separated from one another without removing or cutting the sewing thread. Insofar as the first and second layers can be connected to one another, this is to be understood as a reversible connection. For example, this can be achieved using a zipper, Velcro, buttons and the like.

A zipper element is preferably arranged along the edges of the first and second layers so that they can be reversibly connected to one another by interlocking the teeth of the zipper. The first and second layers can thus advantageously be separated from one another easily and quickly.

Instead of a zipper, the first and second layers can be reversibly connected using buttons or snap fasteners. Here, the buttons or snap fasteners are preferably arranged along the edges of the first and second layers at regular or irregular distances from one another and are designed to interlock. Here too, there is an advantageous quick and easy way to separate the first and second layers from each other.

In one embodiment, the first and second layers can be connected to one another via snap fasteners and can be covered by a duvet cover or pillowcase.

Combinations of different connecting elements are also conceivable. For example, a zipper connection can be combined with a button and/or snap fastener connection.

At least a third layer is arranged or can be arranged as a further layer between the first and second layers. If this is arranged, as described above, this means, for example, sewing with the first and/or the second layer. In order to design the third layer so that it can be arranged, it can preferably be reversibly connected to the first and/or second layer via a button or push-button connection or Velcro connection. Other layers (e.g. a fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.) are also conceivable, whereby the layers can have the same or different characteristics. Additional layers can be attached in the same way.

The advantage of a reversible connection of the third layer to the first and/or second layer is that the third layer can therefore be easily removed or replaced. This is particularly advantageous if the covering textile device is to be washed at least partially (eg only the first and second layers) and the third layer is not suitable for washing machines or is only suitable to a limited extent.

The flexible textile of the first and/or second layer is preferably designed to be anti-microbial and/or anti-electromagnetic. Anti-microbial activity is defined as one that prevents or inhibits the growth of microorganisms (e.g. insects, mites, fleas, ticks) or microorganisms (e.g. fungi, bacteria, viruses). Anti-electromagnetic activity is defined as one that shields or weakens electromagnetic waves. Anti-microbial and anti-electromagnetic agents are described below.

A fragrance additive comprises an agent capable of releasing or absorbing an olfactorily perceptible chemical compound. A fragrance additive can, for example, be in the form of granules. The chemical compound is released over a period of time that is chosen so that the chemical compound achieves the intended effect (perception of smell by a person) to a sufficient extent. The necessary concentration can easily be determined by an expert. Further features of a fragrance additive are described below. A sleep-promoting fragrance additive is preferably used.

At least one further layer, as described above, can be arranged or can be arranged between the first and second layers. Another layer may include a heat-insulating element (e.g. down feathers, foam inserts) or another filling material (e.g. vegetable fibers, animal fibers, synthetic fibers, foam elements). In one embodiment, the further layer comprises a flat textile structure which can be divided into mutually adjacent compartments, each of the compartments being filled with a heat-insulating element or another filling material. The compartments can be separated from each other by a seam.

Another situation can also be present in the plural. For example, a covering textile device can be composed of a total of 5 layers, with a third layer being surrounded by two further layers (e.g. fourth and fifth layers), each of which adjoins the first and second layers.

In one embodiment, a further layer can be formed from a blanket, in particular a bed cover, and surrounded by at least a first, second and third layer. This can be achieved by designing the first, second and third layers as a duvet cover. Alternatively, the first, second and third layers can also be designed as a mattress cover (fitted sheet).

In one embodiment of the covering textile device, the further layer is also designed to be anti-microbial and/or anti-electromagnetic. It is also conceivable that another layer is designed to be anti-microbial, while another layer is designed to be anti-electromagnetic.

The first and/or second and/or third and/or further layers may comprise an anti-microbial additive. Such is understood herein to be a chemical compound that has an anti-microbial activity as described above. An anti-microbial additive can, for example, be applied to a flexible textile in a coating process.

The anti-microbial additive may comprise a pesticide, for example an insecticide and/or an acaricide and/or a fungicide and/or a bactericide and/or a bacteriostat. Insecticides include substances that have a negative effect on the survival or reproduction of insects (e.g. mosquitoes, bed bugs) or that repel them (repellent). An acaricide is an active ingredient used to combat mites or ticks. Acaricides often also have an insecticidal effect. Fungicides are substances that kill fungi or their spores or inhibit the growth of fungi. Bactericides include substances that kill bacteria or their spores. Bacteriostatics include substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria.

By inhibiting the growth of bacteria, it can advantageously be achieved that the device according to the invention, for example when used as a duvet cover, has a significantly lower odor than conventional duvet covers which do not contain an antibacterial additive.

The person skilled in the art is aware of a large number of different anti-microbial additives which are suitable for a covering textile device according to the invention. The expert will select an anti-microbial additive that does not have any harmful effects on the human organism or another vertebrate.

The anti-microbial additive may comprise a metal or a metal compound. Metals (e.g. mercury, silver, copper and their alloys brass and bronze, tin, iron, lead) are known which, for example, have an antibacterial effect (oligodynamics). According to current knowledge, the cell-damaging effect is caused by metal cations, but according to the invention, metal anions are also included. A metal compound can be formed from an alloy of at least one of the metals mentioned with another metal which does not exhibit anti-microbial activity

The metal compound may further comprise an ionic compound (e.g. metal salt), an oxide or a halide. Metal salts are ionic compounds in which the metal is contained as an ion, especially as a cation. In most cases, the metal ion is at least simply positively charged and has strong oxidizing properties. Silver salts, especially silver nitrate, are used in medicine because of their antibacterial properties. Today, silver is mostly used in elemental form (e.g. as a silver coating or colloid) for antibacterial applications. Metal oxides are compounds between a metal and oxygen. Due to the difference in electronegativity between the slightly electronegative metal and the highly electronegative oxygen, the compounds are mostly ionic in nature. It is known that oxides of transition metals such as molybdenum or tungsten have antibacterial properties and can therefore be used according to the invention. Surfaces can be coated, for example brushed, with these transition metal oxides. The oxide particles that are on the surface of the coating form acidic groups with the water from the ambient air, which adjust the pH value to around 4.5. The released protons attack the cell wall of many bacteria and cause the denaturation of the bacterial protein coats or part of the coat proteins. These oxides are also insoluble in water and alcohol and are therefore not washed out during cleaning, which makes their use for the covering textile device according to the invention particularly advantageous.

Furthermore, an anti-microbial additive can also include a halide. For example, a metal halide is a reaction product of a metal with a halogen. Metal halides are produced by reacting a metal with hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or hydroiodic acid. A metal halide is a salt and consists of an ion lattice in which metal cations and halogen anions occur. It is known that metal halide nanoparticles, including silver (Ag), silver bromide (AgBr), silver iodide (Agl) and copper iodide (Cul) nanoparticles, have antibacterial activity against bacteria and are therefore suitable for use in the device according to the invention are advantageous.

The metal or the metal component of the metal compound is, for example, selected from the group of mercury, silver, copper, tin, zinc, lead, titanium, vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten. The person skilled in the art is aware of other metals or metal compounds that have bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects. A metal component of a metal compound is understood to mean a metal in its elemental form, as an ion or isotope.

The first layer and/or the second layer and/or third layer and/or further layer comprises a flexible textile which comprises, or is coated with, an anti-electromagnetic material. Various textiles are known from the prior art that have a shielding effect against electromagnetic radiation.

The electromagnetic radiation to be shielded, which is to be shielded according to the invention, is emitted by technical equipment (e.g. cell phone tower, cell phone, power supply, socket). The frequency range can vary greatly and depends on the technical devices that emit the electromagnetic radiation. An example frequency range includes 30 Hz to 5 GHz. Current mobile communications standards (e.g. LTE, 5G) operate in a frequency range of 500 MHz to 4 GHz.

In a preferred embodiment, a flexible textile (yarn or fabric) comprised by the covering textile device is formed from or coated with an anti-electromagnetic material. This should preferably completely, but at least partially, shield or attenuate the electromagnetic radiation described above. It can also be provided that only certain frequency ranges are shielded by the textile, while other frequency ranges are not shielded. It can thus advantageously be achieved that, for example, a biometric monitoring device (e.g. pulse oximeter), which is worn by a person covered by the covering textile device, can also communicate with a technical device through the covering textile device within a certain, unshielded frequency range.

In order to obtain a flexible textile that at least partially shields electromagnetic radiation, metals or metal compounds can be used, for example. In order to weave them into a textile, for example, the metals can be present as metal threads. For example, it is known to incorporate silver threads into fabrics or to coat threads/yarns/fabrics with silver in order to achieve an anti-electromagnetic effect. In addition to silver, other metals such as copper or gold are also suitable. It is also conceivable that woven graphite threads or textiles coated with graphite can be used for the function according to the invention. Although graphite is not a metal, it is intended to be defined as such herein. The advantage of using graphite as an anti-electromagnetic material is that it weighs less than the metals mentioned and the covering textile device is therefore lighter.

Furthermore, a textile can be formed from a plurality of plastic fibers, the plastic fibers being coated with a metal or a metal compound. It can also advantageously be achieved that the covering textile device is lighter than the use of fibers which are formed entirely from an above-mentioned metal.

The layer, comprising an anti-electromagnetic material, can be formed from at least one layer. The layer can be formed, for example, from a woven or knitted textile, the textile in particular having a large mesh size. This has the advantage that the electromagnetic radiation shielding effect (Faraday effect) can be achieved even with a large mesh size and at the same time the weight of the layer comprising this layer can be reduced. The mesh size of the textile can be in the range from 0.05 to 2.0 mm, particularly preferably in the range from 0.5 to 1.7 mm.

The layer comprising an anti-electromagnetic material can also be formed from at least two layers, each layer having a previously defined structure and a large mesh size. In particular, it can be provided that the node ends of the stitches of the woven textile of a layer are arranged one above the other offset from the second layer arranged flat to it in such a way that a node point (e.g. formed by loops or deflection points) of one layer is offset from the node point of the second parallel layer are arranged so that they are not arranged one above the other. This can advantageously improve the electromagnetic radiation shielding effect.

The third layer is preferably designed in such a way that the fragrance additive contained therein can be exchanged or at least refilled. For example, the third layer can be reversibly connected to the first and/or second and/or further layers using buttons or press studs or a zipper or a Velcro fastener. The advantage of a reversible connection of the third layer to the first and/or second and/or further layer is that the third layer can be separated, removed or exchanged from them. This is particularly advantageous if the covering textile device or parts of it are to be washed and the third layer is not or only partially suitable for washing machines.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the layer which comprises the fragrance additive is designed as a channel and/or chamber system. This has the advantage that the channels and/or chambers can be refilled with the fragrance additive. Preferably, the layer comprises chambers which are connected to one another via channels. The refilling can, for example, take place directly through a corresponding access to the outside of individual chambers or via a corresponding access to the outside via a chamber system. The channels and/or chambers preferably have a perforation, which ensures the release of the fragrance additive into the environment. Alternatively, the channels and/or the chambers or the walls that form the channels and/or chambers can also be designed as a swellable material which is capable of absorbing the fragrance additive and releasing it into the environment. Such swellable materials include, for example, hydrogels or superabsorbers. Preferably, the fragrance additive is a liquid at room temperature and/or under essentially normal conditions, which on the one hand ensures a uniform and homogeneous distribution of the fragrance additive in the channels and/or chambers, in particular over the entire surface of the layer. At the same time, this offers the advantage over a solid material that the layer is flexible (and not stiff or at least partially stiffened) and at the same time has a cushioning effect on the person or vertebrate. The channels and/or chambers can be refilled, for example, using an injection system.

The fragrance additive includes an anti-odor agent (also: deodorant) and/or a sleep-inducing agent. An anti-odor agent includes agents or substances that prevent the formation of unpleasant odors. A well-known deodorant is the zinc salt Ricinoleic acid, which is used as a deodorizing additive in deodorants and as an odor control in creams, lotions and foot care products. The way it works is that the deodorant coats and binds the foul-smelling odor substances that arise from the bacterial decomposition of sweat, so that they are no longer perceived as smelling unpleasant. The expert can choose from other deodorants that seem suitable to him.

In one embodiment, any layer (first, second, third, further) can be coated with a deodorant and/or fragrance additive.

However, a fragrance additive can also have an anti-microbial effect. It is known that numerous essential oils (e.g. clove oil (eugenol), mint oil (menthol), thyme oil (thymol)) have anti-microbial properties or can also be used as repellents.

Furthermore, a fragrance additive, in particular a sleep-promoting fragrance additive, which is designed to have a sleep-promoting effect, can comprise a sleep-promoting agent. This is a smell or an odor composition that either helps you fall asleep and/or supports a quiet or more pleasant and therefore more restful sleep. Smells that are said to have a sleep-promoting effect include, for example, lavender, jasmine, lemon balm, palmarosa, chamomile, orange, mandarin, rose, vanilla, cedar, sandalwood, rosemary, geranium, ylang ylang, or a combination of at least one of the above. The exact composition can be determined by the expert and depends on the wishes of the consumer.

The fragrance additive can be included in a carrier material. A carrier material is designed to release a fragrance additive over a period of time. The person skilled in the art is aware of a large number of suitable carrier materials (e.g. porous ceramics, plastics, woods, other cellulose-based materials), which can be soaked or otherwise mixed (e.g. coated) with a fragrance additive and installed in the covering textile device, in particular the third layer can. For example, such a carrier material can also be designed as a film which is soaked with the fragrance additive. Such a film can, for example, be inserted into pockets or compartments that are covered by the third layer.

Furthermore, any layer (first, second, third, further layer) can be coated with the fragrance additive. In this respect, any layer can also be understood as a carrier material.

In a preferred embodiment, the fragrance additive or the carrier material is surrounded by a limited textile space. This can be achieved, for example, with a bag that contains the carrier material or the fragrance additive. Such a bag can, for example, be positioned in pockets included in the third layer. In one embodiment, a third layer comprises a plurality of pockets or compartments into which bags or carrier materials can be positioned. The third layer can therefore comprise at least one, preferably more than one, limited textile space (e.g. a pocket or compartment).

In a preferred embodiment, the third layer can be formed from a net-shaped material, the mesh size of the net-shaped material being chosen such that the carrier material cannot pass through the mesh, but the smell/scent of the fragrance additive can pass through the mesh. The mesh size is preferably between 0.1 to 5mm, particularly preferably between 0.5 to 3mm and very particularly preferably between 1 and 2mm.

The carrier material can be designed as a flat element and inserted into the pockets of the third layer. A flat design advantageously results in the covering textile device having a small thickness.

The fragrance additive may comprise a plant extract. A herbal extract is a substance or a mixture of substances that comes from plant organisms. This can be an essential oil as described above, which is extracted from one or more plants and, for example, is applied to a carrier material described above. Furthermore, a herbal extract can include dried plant parts (e.g. dried herbs, lavender flowers, rose petals, orange peels). It goes without saying that the mesh size of the third layer, if it comprises a net-shaped material, is chosen so that dried plant parts, or fragments thereof, preferably cannot pass through the mesh.

A fragrance additive or a herbal extract can be selected from lavender, jasmine, lemon balm, palmarosa, chamomile, orange, mandarin, rose, vanilla, cedar, sandalwood, rosemary, geranium, ylang ylang, or a combination of at least one of the above. The herbal extracts can include extracts of the plants mentioned or their components in dried form. Further It is conceivable that a fragrance additive or a plant extract is produced or modified via a biological or chemical synthesis process.

The flexible textile of the first and/or second and/or third and/or further layers can essentially be formed from a synthetic material, such as a plastic (e.g. nylon, polyamide). In one embodiment, the material, or a subset of the fibers forming it, is selected from a vegetable fiber (e.g. cotton, hemp, flax) or animal fiber (e.g. sheep's wool).

In one embodiment, the plant fiber is formed from hemp and woven with other plant fibers or fibers made of a metal described above to form a fabric. The advantage of using hemp (and also flax) is that it has anti-microbial properties, whereas cotton is susceptible to attack by microorganisms. In addition, hemp fibers are mechanically more stable than cotton fibers, which means that the use of hemp results in increased mechanical stability compared to cotton fibers. The vegetable fibers can also be present as a wool and, for example, positioned in pockets of the third or further layers to serve as a thermal insulating layer.

Furthermore, a vegetable fiber, in particular a hemp fiber, can be coated with a metal described above, a metal compound, an anti-microbial additive, a fragrance additive or a combination of at least one of the mentioned. The anti-microbial properties of the plant fiber can thus be advantageously improved.

Finally, it should be noted that all features mentioned in the application documents and in particular in the dependent claims, despite the formal reference made to one or more specific claims, should also be given independent protection individually or in any combination.

Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention also emerge from the following description of exemplary embodiments and the drawings. All described and/or illustrated features, individually or in any combination, form the subject matter of the present invention, regardless of their summary in the claims or their references.

In addition, it should be noted that the person skilled in the art will undoubtedly recognize that the individual features described in the above embodiments can be combined with one another in an appropriate manner, provided there is no contradiction, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, a separate description of various possible combinations is omitted becomes.

In the different figures, parts that are equivalent in terms of their function are always provided with the same reference numbers, so that they are usually only described once.

The 1 shows an embodiment of the covering textile device (1.0) according to the invention, wherein the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2) are connected to one another at a seam (3.0), so that the two layers (2.2, 2.2) are congruent around the seam (3.0) can be placed. The layers (2.2, 2.2) are designed with a zipper (3.2) on three outer edges (3.1), which can be opened or closed with a zipper (3.3). The third layer (2.3) is positioned between the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2). The first side (4.1) of the third layer (2.3) and in this example the first layer (2.1) each have snap fasteners (3.4) that can be connected to one another. This advantageously ensures that the third layer (2.3) arranged between the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2) cannot slip. Still advantageous This makes it possible for the third layer (2.3) to be easily removed or replaced. The second side (4.2) of the third layer (2.3) also has snap fasteners (3.4) which can be connected to a further layer (not shown here). This additional layer can be, for example, a down comforter, which is also equipped with snap fasteners (3.4). As soon as the third layer (2.3) is reversibly fastened using the snap fasteners (3.4), the zipper (3.2) can be closed along the outer edges (3.1). Instead of snap fasteners (3.4), Velcro fasteners can also be used for reversible fastening.

The 2 shows one of 1 modified embodiment, wherein the zipper (3.2) is guided around all four outer edges (3.1) of the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2). This advantageously ensures that the first layer (2.1) can also be separated from the second layer (2.2), which may be desired, for example, if you only want to replace or wash one of the layers.

The 3A shows an embodiment of a third layer (2.3), which includes a plurality of compartments/pockets (5.0). Each of the compartments (5.0) is designed in such a way that it can be closed via a closure layer (5.1) in such a way that the contents cannot accidentally slip out of the compartment (5.0) when used as intended. The 3B shows a compartment enlarged. Here, the closure layer (5.1) is partially sewn to the compartment top layer (5.2) underneath in such a way that the interior (5.3) of the compartment (5.0) is accessible via an opening (not shown) by manually folding/opening the closure layer (5.1) to such an extent that the interior of the compartment (5.3) becomes accessible in order to place a fragrance additive (not shown), for example dried herbs. The advantage of partially sewing the closure layer (5.1) to the compartment top layer (5.2) is that there are no push buttons (3.4) provided for closing the compartment (5.0), which can be perceived by the user as annoying throughout all layers.
In 3C A compartment (5.0) is shown with an open closure layer (5.1) that is not sewn to the compartment top layer (5.2). Instead, the compartment is closed by reversibly connecting the closure layer (5.1) to the compartment top layer (5.1) using snap fasteners (3.4). The compartment (5.0) is then formed, for example, from a net-shaped textile, the mesh size being chosen so that solid contents cannot pass through the mesh. By using push buttons (3.4) you can advantageously make the inside of the compartment (5.3) easier to access. In particular, if, for example, dried herbs are to be placed in the interior of the compartment (5.3) or are to be removed from the interior of the compartment (5.3), this type of closure is easier to use than the one described above. Alternatively, a Velcro fastener instead of print heads is also conceivable for the closure of the compartment (5.0). The advantage of a Velcro fastener would be that it would be easier to use when opening or closing the compartment.

The 4 illustrates an embodiment of the device (1.0) according to the invention as a duvet cover. To form this, the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2) are sewn together on three of the outer edges (3.1), while a zipper (3.2) with a zipper (3.3) is arranged on one of the outer edges (3.1). The third layer (2.3) is reversibly connected to the second layer (2.2) by means of snap fasteners (3.4) and is arranged inside (5.4) of the duvet cover. In order to reversibly connect the third layer (2.3) and a possible further layer not shown here with the second layer (2.2), the interior (5.4) of the duvet cover can be turned inside out.

In the 5 The basic structure of a flexible textile (6.0) is shown, which is formed from silver-coated hemp fibers (6.1) and thus cross-woven copper fibers (6.2).

The 6 shows the basic structure of a covering textile device (1.0) in cross section, the first layer (2.1) being formed from a flexible textile, which as for 5 is constructed as described. The third layer (2.3) is arranged between the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2), which in this example is made of a soft foam (e.g. polyurethane, visco foam), such as is used, for example, for ergonomic pillows. The foam is treated with a fragrance additive (e.g. a deodorant). By using a foam layer, it can advantageously be achieved that the covering textile device (1.0) enables better thermal insulation on the one hand and, on the other hand, that a considerable amount of fragrance additive can be absorbed by the third layer (2.3), thereby achieving the desired level described above Effect lasts longer. In this exemplary embodiment, the second layer (2.2) is formed from a silver-coated cotton fabric. All layers are glued together here, but can also be reversibly connected to one another using one of the connections described above.

The 7 shows the basic structure of an embodiment of the covering textile device (1.0) in cross section. Here the first layer (2.1) and the second layer (2.2) are made of a cotton fabric. The third layer (2.3) includes packages/bags (5.5) and a fabric made of silver coated hemp fibers (6.1). All layers (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) are connected to one another with seams (3.0), the seams (3.0) being set in such a way that one packet (5.5) is surrounded on all sides by a seam (3.0). The covering fabric device contains a plurality of packets filled with a fragrance additive.

The embodiments of the invention shown are each to be understood as exemplary and not restrictive. The invention can also be carried out in a different manner. For example, compartments (5.0) of the third layer (2.3) can be connected to the third layer (2.3) in such a way that these compartments (5.0) are interchangeable. This can be achieved, for example, by connecting each compartment (5.0) to the third layer (2.3) via a Velcro connection.

The above statements are just a few preferred and feasible embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent structural changes made by applying the description of the invention are to be included within the scope of the patent application.

Although the invention has been described and illustrated with reference to specific embodiments, the invention is not intended to be limited to these embodiments. Those skilled in the art will recognize that variations and modifications may be made without departing from the true scope of the invention as defined by the claims and description. It is therefore intended that the invention include all variations and modifications that come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
