Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blanket, in particular a duvet, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Blankets are meant to protect the human body. They create a zone between the body and the ambient air, which inhibits heat exchange between the body and the environment and thereby reduces the heat radiation from the human body, thereby preventing hypothermia of the resting body.
  • the blanket should retain as much of the heat produced by the body as possible.
  • the ambient temperature is relatively high, e.g. in summer, it may even be desirable that as much heat as possible be dissipated from the human body.
  • the retention of heat is essentially achieved by creating a volume of air above the human body which is immovable, ie the effect is essentially achieved by a still air cushion, taking advantage of the fact that air has a poor quality Has heat conduction coefficient.
  • a blanket especially a duvet, should allow heat transfer that is inversely proportional to the temperature gradient. This is not possible with conventional blankets.
  • “Winter blankets” and “autumn blankets” are designed so that cold bridges are avoided wherever possible. So with quilts, instead of normal quilting seams, stepping bridges are used, which ensure that the top plate is in the area of the quilting as far as possible from the bottom plate as in the area between the quilting.
  • Autumn blankets and especially winter blankets are also more voluminous in order to be able to hold the largest possible volume of air. These blankets are too warm for the summer, i.e. heat builds up under the blanket because the poor heat conductivity and the low temperature gradient in summer do not dissipate the heat produced by humans.
  • “Summer blankets” are very light, although they can also have quilting seams that form undesirable cold bridges. These so-called cold bridges let heat pass very easily. If necessary, a summer blanket should also be able to absorb or pass the sweat emitted by the human body.
  • the thermal permeability can be adjusted and the blanket can be used either as a summer or as a winter blanket.
  • a different heat permeability over the surface of the ceiling cannot be achieved with this known ceiling.
  • a blanket which is a kind of tube blanket with tubes extending over the entire length.
  • Small and large tubes are alternately provided.
  • the large tubes are filled with filler material, while the small tubes are a tunnel for one Form the gathering tape. If this shirring band is gathered, the size of the blanket can meet the desired requirements, such as bed size, cover size or the like. or the desired function can be adapted in one dimension, namely along the tubes.
  • the desired requirements such as bed size, cover size or the like. or the desired function can be adapted in one dimension, namely along the tubes.
  • In the area of the smaller tubes forming the tunnels there is a very large cold bridge due to the lack of filling material, which does not become smaller even when the cover is gathered.
  • the blanket in the area of the filled tubes produces less heat when gathered, this blanket is not suitable because of the filler-free tunnels to retain more heat in winter than in summer.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic blanket that can be used as a so-called summer, as well as a so-called winter blanket and in which the heat permeability is adjustable by the user of the blanket seen over the surface of the blanket. If desired, the cold bridges should be able to be used positively.
  • the cover is designed to be gatherable substantially transversely to the direction of the quilting seams, and the surface of the cover can be reduced and enlarged again, and by reducing or enlarging the surface of the cover, the thickness of the cover is increased or decreased, and cold bridges that occur reduced or enlarged, so that the heat permeability is reduced or increased .
  • the thickness of the blanket is inevitably changed because the filling material essentially retains its volume. Since no separate tunnels having a shirring belt are provided, no cold bridges formed thereby can also be formed. In addition, the gathering across the quilting seams can reduce or prevent the possible cold bridges in the area of the quilting seams.
  • the cover can preferably be designed to be gatherable transversely and / or parallel to its long sides.
  • a blanket cover is larger in area, e.g. 10 to 30% larger, designed than conventional covers.
  • a blanket for one person instead of a basic width of 1.3 m, have a width of 1.65 m and can then be gathered to a width of 1.3 m.
  • the length of another blanket to be gathered lengthways can now be 2.5 m instead of 2 m, which in turn results in a gathered length of 2 m. Protruding parts, especially at the foot end, can be handled.
  • the blanket can be provided with quilting seams arranged parallel to its longitudinal sides and have means in the area of the quilting seams which allow parts of the cover which enclose a quilting seam to be held together.
  • a blanket with quilting seams can thus be made into a blanket that in principle has double quilting bars.
  • At least one thread is expediently arranged on the cover.
  • this can be designed in the form of a curtain tape and preferably sewn onto the cover.
  • This gathering tape can then be gathered like a curtain edge.
  • several such gathering belts are provided. If these are arranged transversely to the long sides of the cover, the blanket can e.g. be gathered in the area of the foot end more than in the area of the head end.
  • the thread tension allows the cover to be gathered only in certain areas.
  • the thread can be designed so that it can only be gathered in the area of the stitching.
  • the thread can also consist of a thread, preferably a monofilament, passed between the two cover plates of the cover. If this thread is pulled out of the cover on both sides, the cover and thus the cover inevitably contracts.
  • the loose filling preferably has spherically entangled fiber aggregates. These facilitate easier gathering of the blanket than was previously the case with padded inserts, such as non-woven fabrics or the like. was possible because the fiber aggregates can be easily moved against each other.
  • the figures each show a quilt 1, which has stitching 2 or stitching 3.
  • the quilts 1 shown here are quilted parallel to their long sides.
  • the topstitching can also be arranged parallel to its broad sides.
  • the topstitching can also be arranged both lengthways and crossways.
  • the thickness of the respective blanket 1 is drawn larger in relation to the width of the blanket for better illustration, although the blankets described here can be thicker than known blankets because of the lighter filler material used, even if they are not gathered, without being heavier .
  • a blanket 1 is assumed which, in the unracked state, has a length of 2 m and a width of 1.65 m.
  • a non-gathered blanket 1 can also have a length of 1.5 m, in particular if it is (also) to be gathered lengthways. If the width cannot be gathered, it has the standard width. Depending on the purpose - children's blanket, baby blanket, special dimensions - the dimensions of the blankets can be chosen differently.
  • FIG. 1 now shows such a ceiling 1 in supervision.
  • This blanket 1 is here provided with four topstitchings 2, whereby the blanket is divided into five chambers 4 or tubes, which are filled with a filling material such as down, feathers, spherically entangled fiber balls, plastic sticks such as polyurethane sticks or the like, that is to say loose filling material. are filled.
  • a filling material such as down, feathers, spherically entangled fiber balls, plastic sticks such as polyurethane sticks or the like, that is to say loose filling material.
  • the cover of this blanket 1 now has means which - here - allow the width of the blanket 1 to be designed differently according to the current wishes of the user.
  • the user of the ceiling 1 can e.g. make one end of the blanket narrower than the other end of the blanket 1, which then makes it e.g. receives trapezoidal ceiling 1, as shown in Figure 1.
  • tapes 5 are attached in pairs adjacent to the stitching seams 2 and are at least the same distance from the stitching seams 2 in pairs.
  • only a part of the tapes 5 can of course also be tied together, and in addition the tying can also be different in such a way that a trapezoidal surface of the cover 1 results by the tying being carried out more or less closely.
  • Figure 5 shows an alternative to the tapes 5, which - here in Figure 5 buttoned - push buttons 6 are replaced.
  • An example of the distribution of these push buttons over the blanket 1 can be seen in FIG the stitching 2 push buttons 6 are shown.
  • the push buttons could be arranged at different distances from the quilting seams 2.
  • the tapes 5 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 can also be arranged at the points shown in FIG. 1 for the push buttons 6.
  • the tapes 5 or snap fasteners 6 can also be at a greater distance from one another along the stitching seams 2 than drawn in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • adhesive or Velcro tapes can also be arranged on the cover, which have the advantage that a continuous connection of the outside parts of the cover over the entire length of the blanket 1 is thus possible.
  • the push buttons e.g. Hooks and eyes can be arranged, which are optionally hooked into one another.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 now show that even with so-called bridge ceilings 1, in which the upper part of the cover is connected to the lower part of the same via strip-shaped ridges, can be used both as a winter and as a summer cover.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to change the base area of the ceiling 1 in order to vary the thickness thereof.
  • a thread 8 is arranged within the cover of the blanket 1, which here penetrates the webs 3 and the outer edge of the blanket 1.
  • This thread 8 here a thread, in particular a monofilament, can be pulled out of the cover 1 on both sides. Since the length of the thread 8 does not change, the blanket 1 therefore contracts along this thread 8. This thickens the blanket 1, as can be seen from a comparison of FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the pulled-out ends of the thread 8 can be knotted temporarily outside the blanket 1 to prevent the blanket 1 from coming apart. After this knot has been opened, the blanket 1 can in turn be given its large extent and thus its smaller thickness.
  • Such a thread can also be used in the case of a quilt 1 quilted according to FIG. 3 instead of the tapes 5 or push buttons.
  • gathering tapes 7 are arranged, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • These gathering tapes are from curtains, e.g. for windows, known and have a thread 8.
  • This shirring 7 can now be sewn onto the untucked cover of the blanket 1, such as untucked with a curtain. This can be done inside or outside the cover. If this thread 8 is pulled out of the shirring band, not only the shirring band is shortened and folded, but also the cover of the blanket 1. If these shirring bands are distributed over the entire blanket 1, the entire area of the blanket 1 can also be changed.
  • these gathering tapes can also be arranged in the central axis of the blanket 1 - and thus in the middle of the webs 3 - so that the spacing of the individual webs is changed from one another, thereby also changing the overall width the ceiling can vary.
  • the solutions according to FIGS. 3 to 5 and 8 and 9 can also be implemented on ceilings that are not quilted at all. It is essential for the invention that the surface of the cover can be changed.
  • the quilt 1 can have openings at least at one end, or the like by means of zippers, Velcro strips, adhesive fasteners. can be locked.
  • the individual quilted chambers or the entire ceiling can be filled with filling materials through these openings, whereby the user of the ceiling can fill in or remove more or less material. As a result, the filling volume of the ceiling can also be changed.
  • the loose filling materials of the blanket move against each other when the blanket is gathered or "unrolled" so that they are always evenly distributed in the blanket 1.
