Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of outdoor activity such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing and the like and to outerwear and accoutrements associated therewith. More particularly, the invention relates to a single piece of outer-wear which will provide full weather protection when a person is standing, sitting or reclining.
  • the present poncho types are not functional for uses such as a storm-proof sleeping shelter, sleeping bag, hammock or as a fitted outerwear garment for example to cover the upper body as an anorak or to cover the full body as a cagoule, both the latter type garments being commonly used by mountaineers.
  • a storm-proof sleeping shelter such as a storm-proof sleeping shelter, sleeping bag, hammock or as a fitted outerwear garment for example to cover the upper body as an anorak or to cover the full body as a cagoule, both the latter type garments being commonly used by mountaineers.
  • Currently, persons that want the above combination of useful items are required to carry them as separate units.
  • U.S. Patent 3 958 274, 1 193 443 and 650 074 disclose the general state of the art on the above poncho types.
  • the present invention provides an item of outer- wear which can be adapted to provide complete weather protection while walking or riding in the open, sitting or reclining.
  • the present invention will serve as a marginal lean-to or as a hammock and can adopt various other useful configurations when combined with accessories.
  • the present invention provides a single piece of outer-wear which can be adapted to provide stormproof sleeping protection or fitted outerwear.
  • the invention also provides for two or more to be joined together for larger shelters.
  • One adaptation of the invention provides a cape to cover a backpack when worn in an anorak or cagoule-like mode.
  • the present invention also provides a single item ofouterwear which is light-weight and which can quickly and easily be transformed from one use to another.
  • Another adaption of the invention provides for it to be used as a two-point suspension hammock.
  • the present invention comprises a substantially rectangular main sheet 1 of material which is pliable even at low temperatures and waterproof, such as urethane- coated nylon.
  • a material known by the trade name of Gore-Tex is most usable also.
  • the sheet may also be composed of a central section of Gore-Tex with each end section being of the waterproof material.
  • the sheet with a length of 7 feet and width of 6 feet has been found generally suitable for the average person. Size may vary with the user and type of fit desired.
  • the main sheet 1 is provided with sewn or welded flaps 2, 3 on the longer sides E and F. Interiorly of said flaps on each side is an element of a fastening device.
  • the preferred being a separating zipper 4 employing a double slider 4a and secured to sheet 1 by seam 10.
  • the invention as described relative to Fig. 1 can be utilized to form a hammock as in Fig. 10.
  • the zippers 4 are joined together to form the sheet into a panel having the same length as the sheet shown in Fig. 1 but of only half the width.
  • the cords A in sleeves 9 and E and D are then drawn out of the sleeve so as to compress each end C and D into a knot-like configuration.
  • the cords are then wrapped around the knot to retain it in that configuration.
  • Selectively the snaps 5 on each longer side may be joined together.
  • the thus formed narrow elongated panel with its knot-like configurations on each end is then attached around each such configuration to a line which in turn is suspended from any vertical support to form the hammock.
  • flaps 2 and 3 Cooperating snaps 5 spaced along flaps 2 and 3 provide closure when the flaps are aligned over the zipper 4. Closure of flaps 2 and 3 may be with a product known by the trade name of Velcro or similar fastening devices. Loops 16 may be provided on flaps 2 and 3 so the sheet may be used as an emergency stretcher.
  • Each of the shorter sides C and D of main sheet 1 terminates in a sleeve or tube 9 which is formed from the material of main sheet 1 by seam 6.
  • Each sleeve 9 contains a draw-cord or belt-like line A whose ends are inside pockets 13 created by seam 8 and fold 7. When both ends of the cord are pulled the length of sleeve 9 can be greatly compressed. Rings, tabs, or grommets may be substituted for the sleeve and the pocket may be omitted. Snaps 17 may be provided on the shorter sides so two or more can be joined together along these sides.
  • a head opening la Centrally located on the sheet 1 is a head opening la, shown in Fig. 1 as a single curvilinear form. As seen in Fig. 9 the head opening may also comprise a pair of spaced curvilinear openings lb interconnected by a slit1c. Attached to the head opening by a seam 11 is an additional sheet of the material formed into a hood 12.
  • the hood 12 also contains a drawtring G and may contain one or more pairs of opposing snaps, such as those at 5.
  • a hood covers the head and can be drawn around the face with the draw-cord G. Other devices to restrict the opening of the hood may be employed.
  • the hood may be omitted and a drawcord arrangement provided around the head opening.
  • Fig. 2 shows use of the invention as a weatherproof cover for sleeping or reclining made possible by the novel application of fastening devices.
  • the zipper 4 is closed and is covered by flaps 2, 3 which are secured by snaps or fasteners 5.
  • Sleeves 9 are compressed by pulling cords A from their respective sleeves.
  • Draw-cords A are wrapped tightly around the compressed sleeves and secured by a suitable tie such as the clasp J in Fig. 6 thus achieving a storm- proof closure of sides C, D(Fig. 1).
  • Fig. 3 shows the sheet in an embodiment with a cagoulelike appearance and serving the purposes and uses of same.
  • Hood 12 is shown enclosing the head excepting an opening at the face.
  • the opening is secured by a fastener 5 with or without a gussett, a snap being preferred and drawn snug, if necessary, by the cord G contained by sleeve H, to close the head opening completely as in Fig. 2, to the inside or outside of sheet 1.
  • Fastening device 5 the preferred being snaps, create sleeves for each arm, the fasteners being positioned to allow the fabric to be held around the wrists of wearer and further join to enclose a sleeve extending toward the body from the wrists.
  • the invention resembles the currently well-known poncho type outerwear.
  • the zipper element is closed from the end C by one of the sliders to about the waist of the wearer. This closure would be approximately one-third the total length of the zipper element but will vary with the height of the wearer.
  • the lower portion of the sheet 1 is now formed into a skirt-like configuration. This leaves the remaining portion of sheet 1 which would include side D free and unfettered in a cape-like configuration which would conveniently cover a backpack.
  • the draw-cord A in sleeve 9 of side C is then pulled tigth around the waist as shown in Fig. 3 and ends of the cord are secured as desired either by tying or by utilizing the clasps J as shown in Fig. 6. If greater freedom for leg movement is desired in the lower portion of the configured garment, the remaining slider may then be open to the extent required.
  • the use of the present invention to form a weatherproof embodiment for sitting as shown in Fig. 4 is accomplished by untying the cord A as described for the forming the cagoulelike embodiment and sitting down.
  • the tent-like shelter shown in Fig. 5 is formed by attaching a netting panel K to the zippers along sides E and F of sheet 1.
  • the unattached opposing edges of panel K are then contained within sides C and D respectively by using the draw-cords to compress the sleeves 9 on each of side C and D.
  • Flaps E and F may contain tapes or gromments 14 in Fig.
  • Fig. 6 shows the details of the pocket 13 formed in each sleeve 9 and the draw-cord A and illustrated type clasp J which is produced by the IS I Manufacturing Company.
  • the clasp is not required as the ends of the cord A could be suitably knotted together.
  • the cord A may be of an elastic or non-elastic character.
  • Fig. 7 the hood 12 has been turned inside out so that the top of the hood which normally would form a bill-like projection is turned wrong side out so as to settle the hood neatly over the shoulders to form a collar.
  • the collar can be drawn up snugly around the neck by the draw- cord G.
  • the configuration of the invention as shown in Fig. 8 is achieved by first forming the poncho-type configuration as described in the first portion of the paragraph relating to Fig. 3.
  • the upper elements are not closed as described for Fig. 3 but are left separated.
  • Side C is raised to the waist and draw- cord A in sleeve 9 of side C is drawn so as to carry side C around the waist toward the back and the ends of the cord are then crossed, brought to the front and secured to one another. In this instance side D then becomes a full cape.
  • the sheet 1 may be trapezoidal with one shorter side of less length than the opposite shorter side. Also, one shorter side in the rectangular configuration may have a triangular extension. Sides may also be rectilinear.
