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 over 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 to be transferred, which reverses the temperature gradient is proportional. 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 the heat pass through very easily. If necessary, a summer blanket should also be able to absorb or pass the sweat emitted by the human body.
  • a so-called web ceiling is now known, in which the outer surfaces of the ceiling are also connected to one another via webs on the outer edges of the ceiling.
  • the inner webs divide the ceiling into a number of chambers. At least in such an outer web closable openings can be provided, which the introduction of filler material, which is down, synthetic filling, wool or the like. can act, enable.
  • the inner webs are partly designed as interrupted webs in such a way that the interruptions in the inner webs also allow access to the internal chambers.
  • the filling material can be distributed evenly in the ceiling.
  • a so-called cassette cover is known from DE-A-3.147.023.
  • Continuous and intersecting inner webs are provided here, through which the ceiling is divided into a plurality of chambers. It is now proposed there that the webs running in one direction have opening devices, such as zippers, which are easily closable throughout their length.
  • opening devices such as zippers, which are easily closable throughout their length.
  • an edge seam of the blanket is opened and then sewn again, so that the blanket is made watertight.
  • the zips on the inner webs can now be opened and closed to fill and empty the blanket.
  • Blankets are known from DE-A-491.524 and CH-A-658.177, which have a cover with longitudinal chambers or pockets, into which bead-like or square pillows can be inserted or removed. Different pillows can be used in summer than in winter. In principle, both ceilings are covers for holding several smaller ceiling parts, which can also be used separately.
  • the invention is based on the object of a generic blanket, in particular a blanket, with a loose filling and a preferably rectangular cover, the cover having at least one closable opening through which the cover can be filled with filling materials and the quilt is quilted create that can be used both as a so-called summer and a so-called winter blanket.
  • the blanket should be easy to refill and empty, especially partially fill and empty.
  • the filling material has spherically entangled fiber aggregates and the opening of the cover is provided with an easily openable closure, such as a zip, Velcro, adhesive closure, or the like. or closable with buttons.
  • the user of the blanket can thus fill the blanket with more or less filling materials and thus adapt the insulation ability to his personal needs in accordance with the prevailing ambient temperatures.
  • winter he will fill the cover with more filling materials to increase the volume
  • summer he will reduce the filling volume to increase the thermal permeability of the ceiling.
  • the degree of filling of the ceiling is thus changed according to the respective climatic needs.
  • the filling material should always have approximately the same density, i.e. it should not be pressed together by overfilling, since this essentially only increases the weight of the blanket, but essentially does not change the heat permeability.
  • the cover can be used to remove or refill the Blanket can be opened and closed in the simplest way and orphan.
  • the opening can also be made closable, for example, by parts of the cover that are turned inwards.
  • the filling material has spherically entangled fiber aggregates or consists only of such. These fiber aggregates have a slight adhesion to one another, which prevents - as can happen with down - that filler material parts can escape from the cover in an uncontrolled manner after opening the cover. This means that even smaller quantities can be dispensed or added in doses.
  • the filling material can also include fiber flakes, foam sticks or the like. exhibit.
  • the two cover sheets of the blanket are connected to one another with quilting at spaced apart locations.
  • the quilting is carried out in such a way that the filling material is quilted.
  • the cover is filled with the filling material, which is evenly distributed in the cover.
  • the quilt is then quilted in a known manner. Individual parts of the filling material, in particular the spherically entangled fiber aggregates, are penetrated by the quilting threads.
  • the quilting is, for example, line-forming.
  • the quilting can be continuous or interrupted.
  • the quilting can also be arranged in a pattern over the surface of the ceiling.
  • the quilting can also be essentially only point-shaped. According to a particular embodiment, at least a part of the various described above Quilting combined in one blanket.
  • the foot area contains significantly more filling material than the head area, especially in winter, while e.g. in summer both areas can have essentially the same, but low, degree of filling.
  • Longitudinal chambers in the middle can have a greater degree of filling, especially in winter, than outer longitudinal chambers of the ceiling.
  • the closable openings are arranged in the peripheral seam of the ceiling. This is not only very advantageous for the production of such a blanket, since it can then be produced easily and inexpensively, but also proves itself in practice, since there is only a smaller opening in each case and the material to be removed or filled in has a narrowly limited opening cross section is to be handled.
  • the filling materials described above can be distributed evenly even when the opening is closed.
  • Such a blanket can be produced in that a blanket cover, which consists of two sheets connected to each other, which are connected to each other only at their peripheral seam and wherein at least one zipper or the like in this peripheral seam. is sewn in with the filling materials, such as spherically entangled fiber aggregates, and the zipper or the like is filled. is closed. The filled blanket is then stitched over the entire surface in a pattern. It is also advantageous due to the filling materials stitched through, whereby the cold bridges otherwise present in the area of the stitching seams are at least reduced.
  • topstitching can now be partially parallel to each other, whereby bead-shaped chambers are formed.
  • only selective quilting can be provided.
  • the opening (s) is / are preferably arranged at a longitudinal end of the ceiling.
  • These ceilings 1 have longitudinal edges 2 and transverse edges 3.
  • blankets 1 are divided into different chambers 30 to 38 by different stitching 20 to 23, further shorter stitching 40 to 44 being arranged in these chambers 30 to 38.
  • zippers 50 to 54 are also arranged in the figures, through which the filling material can be refilled or removed at any time after opening.
  • bead-shaped chambers 30 are formed by linear straight stitching 20, which enclose an angle of 45 ° with the side edges 2 and 3 of the ceiling 1, the ends of which are inclined at the side edges 2 and 3 to lock. Triangular chambers 30 'are thereby formed in the corners of the ceiling 1. Adjacent to each of these is a second bead-shaped chamber 30 '', each of which is followed by a third bead-shaped chamber 30 '''. A relatively large, here diamond-shaped chamber 31 is arranged within these third bead-shaped chambers 30 '''.
  • zippers 50 are sewn into the seam connecting the two cover sheets of the blanket 1, which here extend over almost the entire length of the side edge 2 of the blanket 1, but are spaced from the corners of the blanket.
  • topstitchings 40 are arranged, which are significantly shorter compared to the other topstitchings 20. These topstitchings 40 are also spaced apart, the spacing being greater than their length.
  • the oblique arrangement of the bead-shaped chambers 30 'to 30' '' prevents a sleeping person from moving the filling material into the corners of the ceiling 1 by strongly moving the ceiling 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a ceiling 1 with bead-shaped chambers 32 formed by stitching 21, the axes of which are aligned parallel to the transverse edges 3 of the ceiling 1.
  • two such chambers 32 are arranged, while there are four chambers 32 at the other end of the blanket 1.
  • a large, rectangular chamber 33 is arranged in between, the width of which corresponds here to approximately four times the width of the bead-shaped chambers 32.
  • This chamber 33 usually comes to rest on the upper body of the person.
  • smaller, spaced-apart stitches 41 are arranged, which in turn are spaced apart.
  • part of the smaller stitching 41 is perpendicular to the other part.
  • the blanket 1 according to FIG. 2 has two zippers 51 and 52 only on one longitudinal edge 2, which are just like that are large that all chambers 32 and 33 can be filled or emptied through them.
  • FIG. 3 shows a blanket 1 in which, in the shoulder and arm area (in the drawing above) as well as in the leg and foot area, bead-shaped chambers 34 formed by stitching 22 are formed, the longitudinal axis of which are formed parallel to the longitudinal edges of the blanket 1 are. Five such chambers 34 are drawn here, but there may also be more.
  • short topstitchings 43 are in turn spaced apart from one another.
  • a zipper 50 is arranged on each of the two transverse edges 3 of the blanket 1, through which the bead-shaped chambers 34 can be filled and emptied.
  • FIG. 4 now shows a ceiling 1, in which chambers are separated from one another by stitching 23 which is relatively short compared to the stitching described above.
  • stitching 23 which is relatively short compared to the stitching described above.
  • These shorter topstitchings are only slightly spaced from one another, so that almost no filler material having fiber aggregates can penetrate through the chamber boundaries formed thereby.
  • a zipper 54 is arranged on each of the transverse edges 3, through which the two chambers 36 and 37 can be filled or emptied.
  • a blanket 1 is produced by making a cover with the zippers 50 to 54 and filling it with filler material, in particular spherically entangled fiber aggregates. After the zippers 50 to 54 have been closed, the blanket 1 is provided with the above-described stitching 20 to 23 and 40 to 44. The stitching thus takes place through the fiber aggregates which are also stitched. This significantly reduces the cold bridge otherwise known for quilts.
  • the user of the ceiling 1 can refill or partially empty the other chambers 30, 32, 34, 36 and 37 according to his wishes and needs. It is also possible to have one or more chambers - e.g. in a very hot summer - completely empty.
  • Additional filling material can be in casings, such as plastic hoses or the like. are supplied, whereby these filled with refill material inside the ceiling 1, e.g. can be arranged in a larger, externally accessible chamber.
  • the maximum degree of filling (100%) results when the ceiling can no longer expand.
  • a fill level of 50 to 70% is usually sufficient in summer, while a fill level of 80 to 100% is perceived as pleasant in winter.
  • the shoulder and arm area and the leg and foot area will be filled more than the middle area of the blanket.
  • the areas in the corners of the blanket can be filled to a greater extent, on the one hand to achieve a better fit of the blanket due to the higher weight and on the other hand to warm the arms and hands or feet better.
  • the middle chamber can be filled to a greater extent in the foot area, while the two outer chambers e.g. to be slapped around the feet.
  • the shorter topstitching 40 to 44 in the chambers 31, 33, 35 and 38 prevent the filling material from slipping inside the blanket 1 into areas in which it is not desired.
  • the fiber aggregates used have - in contrast e.g. to down or feathers - a low adhesion to each other, so that it is ensured that the blanket is always filled in its part areas according to the wishes of the user.
  • Spherically entangled fiber aggregates that can be used in this blanket are described, for example, in the meanwhile published EP-A-0.257.658 and EP-A-0.259.730.
