Abstract

The covering quilt with double enclosure comprises two layers of material forming a sleeve, and with one or more insulating sections between them. Detachable connections are provided along two sides at least, typically sliding-clasp fasteners. The outer layers can be single textile sheets, or alternatively of non-woven material, while the insulating section can comprise two layers of textile joined at different points and insulating filling material.

Description

La présente invention a trait à une couette (édredon, couvre-lit, etc.) de construction particulière. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne une couette pourvue d'une fermeture multiple.The present invention relates to a comforter (comforter, bedspread, etc.) of particular construction. More particularly, the invention relates to a duvet provided with a multiple closure.

On sait qu'une couette peut se composer d'un paquet isolant entouré d'une housse fixe ou amovible, dont un des bords peut être fermé, ou non, à l'aide d'une fermeture à glissière ou de boutons-pressoirs. Etant donné que de tels boutons-pressoirs ou fermetures à glissière ne sont prévus que sur un seul bord de la couette, il est assez difficile d'introduire la couche isolante intermédiaire dans la housse, de la plier en deux, etc.We know that a duvet can consist of an insulating package surrounded by a fixed or removable cover, one of the edges of which can be closed, or not, using a zipper or press buttons. Since such press buttons or zippers are only provided on one edge of the duvet, it is quite difficult to introduce the intermediate insulating layer into the cover, to fold it in half, etc.

Un autre désavantage de ce type de construction consiste en ce que de telles couettes classiques se caractérisent par un nombre relativement important de couches de textile, entourant notamment chaque paquet isolant, ce qui a non seulement une répercussion défavorable sur le prix de la couette, mais encore, alourdit inutilement le poids de la couette, réduisant ainsi le confort du dormeur.Another disadvantage of this type of construction is that such conventional quilts are characterized by a relatively large number of layers of textile, in particular surrounding each insulating package, which not only has an unfavorable impact on the price of the quilt, but again, unnecessarily increases the weight of the comforter, thus reducing the comfort of the sleeper.

L'invention présentée a pour but de proposer une couette excluant de manière systématique les inconvénients précités.The object of the invention presented is to propose a duvet systematically excluding the aforementioned drawbacks.

Dans ce but, la couette conforme à l'invention se compose d'une combinaison de deux couches de matériau formant housse, et d'au moins un élément isolant intercalaire; de plus, la housse est pourvue d'une liaison détachable sur au moins deux de ses côtés.For this purpose, the duvet according to the invention consists of a combination of two layers of material forming a cover, and at least one insulating intermediate element; in addition, the cover is provided with a detachable connection on at least two of its sides.

Dans une forme d'exécution préférentielle, les couches extérieures de matériau sont constituées par une couche unique de tissu ou de matériau non tissé, les liaisons détachables étant formées par des fermetures à glissière ou des boutons-pressoirs.In a preferred embodiment, the outer layers of material consist of a single layer of fabric or non-woven material, the detachable connections being formed by zippers or press buttons.

Afin de pallier le deuxième inconvénient précité, les éléments plats isolants intercalaires seront de préférence dépourvus du revêtement textile classique, ce qui a pour conséquence de faire l'économie d'un certain nombre de couches de textile et de réduire le poids total de la couette.In order to overcome the aforementioned second drawback, the insulating intermediate insulating elements will preferably be devoid of the conventional textile covering, which has the effect of saving a certain number of layers of textile and reducing the total weight of the duvet .

Afin de mieux montrer les caractéristiques des applications conformes à l'invention, on trouvera ci-après la description de quelques formes préférentielles d'exécution, illustrées par les figures en annexe. Il s'agit de simples exemples, sans caractère limitatif. Les figures concernent les applications suivantes:

  • la figure 1 représente une couette conforme à l'invention;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue partielle en coupe d'une variante d'exécution;
  • la figure 3 représente une variante de la couette illustrée à la figure 2.
In order to better show the characteristics of the applications according to the invention, the description of some preferred embodiments is given below, illustrated by the attached figures. These are simple examples, without limitation. The figures relate to the following applications:
  • Figure 1 shows a comforter according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows a partial sectional view of an alternative embodiment;
  • FIG. 3 represents a variant of the duvet illustrated in FIG. 2.

Comme illustré à la figure 1, la couette conforme à l'invention se compose de deux couches de matériau 1 et 2, formant housse, et entre lesquelles est placé au moins un élément isolant plat; la housse est pourvue de fermetures sur au moins deux de ses côtés. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, deux des bords opposés 4 et 5 des couches extérieures 1 et 2 sont fixés l'un à l'autre par une liaison fixe, les deux autrs bords 6 et 7 étant fixés l'un à l'autre par des liaisons détachables 8 et 9. La housse ainsi formée peut s'ouvrir sur deux de ses côtés, ce qui offre l'avantage que l'élément isolant intercalaire 3 peut être introduit sans difficulté entre les couches 1 et 2 ou, en d'autre termes, que les couches 1 et 2 peuvent être glissés sans difficulté sur l'élement isolant 3.As illustrated in Figure 1, the comforter according to the invention consists of two layers of material 1 and 2, forming a cover, and between which is placed at least one flat insulating element; the cover is provided with closures on at least two of its sides. In the embodiment shown, two of the opposite edges 4 and 5 of the outer layers 1 and 2 are fixed to each other by a fixed connection, the other two edges 6 and 7 being fixed to each other. other by detachable connections 8 and 9. The cover thus formed can open on two of its sides, which has the advantage that the insulating intermediate element 3 can be introduced without difficulty between layers 1 and 2 or, in in other words, that the layers 1 and 2 can be slid without difficulty onto the insulating element 3.

Les liaisons détachables 8 et 9 précitées seront formées de préférence de fermetures à glissière, de fermetures auto-agrippantes, etc. La liaison fixe réunissant les bords 4 et 5 des couches extérieures 1 et 2 peuvent être formées, par exemple, par des coutures.The above-mentioned detachable links 8 and 9 will preferably be formed by zippers, hook-and-loop closures, etc. The fixed connection joining the edges 4 and 5 of the outer layers 1 and 2 can be formed, for example, by seams.

Les couches extérieures 1 et 2 seront formées de préférence d'une couche unique de textile ou d'un matériau aiguilleté de type "non tissé".The outer layers 1 and 2 will preferably be formed of a single layer of textile or of a needled material of the "non-woven" type.

La figure 2 représente une variante d'exécution d'une couette conforme à l'invention, dans laquelle deux éléments isolants plats 3 sont intercalés entre les couches extérieures 1 et 2. Les éléments isolants plats intercalaires 3 peuvent être fixés aux couches extérieures 1 et 2, et éventuellement être fixés entre eux, par des liaisons permanentes ou détachables 10, formées de préférence par des fermetures à glissière ou des boutons-pressoirs.FIG. 2 represents an alternative embodiment of a duvet according to the invention, in which two flat insulating elements 3 are interposed between the outer layers 1 and 2. The intermediate insulating flat elements 3 can be fixed to the outer layers 1 and 2, and possibly be fixed to each other, by permanent or detachable connections 10, preferably formed by zippers or press buttons.

Comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2, les éléments isolants plats 3 se composent chacun de deux couches de textile 11 et 12 fixées l'une à l'autre par des liaisons locales et enserrant une charge isolante 13. Les éléments isolants plats 3 peuvent cependant être de nature quelconque et, de plus, avoir une épaisseur et/ou un poids différents. La figure 3 illustre un mode d'utilisation particulier d'une couette conforme à l'invention et pourvue de deux éléments isolants plats 3 ou davantage. Dans cette application, l'élément isolant supérieur est plié en deux sur la moitié de la largeur de la couette; dès lors, la couette peut ètre utilisée sur un lit à deux personnes dont l'une souhaite se couvrir davantage que l'autre. Il est clair que la mise en place de l'élément isolant plat plié en deux est considérablement facilitée par le fait que l'intérieur de la couette est accessible par les deux côtés 6 et 7.As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flat insulating elements 3 each consist of two layers of textile 11 and 12 fixed to each other by local connections and enclosing an insulating load 13. The flat insulating elements 3 can however be of any kind and, moreover, have a different thickness and / or weight. FIG. 3 illustrates a particular mode of use of a duvet in accordance with the invention and provided with two flat insulating elements 3 or more. In this application, the upper insulating element is folded in half over half the width of the quilt; therefore, the duvet can be used on a double bed, one of which wants to cover more than the other. It is clear that the positioning of the flat insulating element folded in half is considerably facilitated by the fact that the interior of the duvet is accessible from both sides 6 and 7.

Bien entendu, la fermeture multiple peut s'étendre sur trois côtés ou sur tout le pourtour de la couette.Of course, the multiple closure can extend on three sides or around the entire periphery of the duvet.

La présente invention ne se limite d'aucune façon aux exécutions décrites à titre d'exemple et illustrées aux figures; les couettes à double fermeture conformes à l'invention peuvent être réalisées en toutes formes et dimensions sans tomber hors du champ d'application de l'invention.The present invention is not limited in any way to the embodiments described by way of example and illustrated in the figures; the double closure duvets according to the invention can be produced in all shapes and sizes without falling outside the scope of the invention.
