Die Erfindung betrifft ein Mehrzwecknachthemd gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1
Ein Nachthemd, welches auf der Rückenseite in senkrechter Richtung offen ist, wird insbesondere für Patienten und pflegebedürftige Personen in Krankenhäusern und Pflegeheimen verwendet. Die beiden im Bereich der Wirbelsäule zusammenstoßenden Rückenteile können mit Bändern miteinander verbunden werden. Wenn der Patient das Bett verläßt, fallen die beiden Rückteile des Nachthemds mehr oder weniger auseinander, so daß die hintere Körperseite der das Nachthemd tragenden Person mehr oder weniger ungeschützt und sichtbar ist.The invention relates to a multi-purpose nightgown according to the preamble of claim 1

Die beiden nicht miteinander vernähten Rückenteile bilden längs der in Figur 1 gestrichelt angedeuteten senkrechten Kante 5 des (von hinten gesehen) rechten Rückenteils 4 eine durchgehende Öffnung. Das im Ausführungsbeispiel linke Rückenteil 3 ist dabei mit einem Rückenüberteil 6 versehen, welches dem rechten Rückenteil 4 angepaßt ist und dieses im Gebrauchtszustand des Nachthemdes ganz oder teilweise zu überdecken vermag. Nach oben ist das Rückenüberteil 6 durch eine Kante 7 begrenzt, die etwa vom Hals bis zur Achselhöhle verläuft. Die beiden Rückenteile sind im Halsbereich bei a und im Achselhöhlenbereich bei b beispielsweise mit Klett- oder Bindebandverschlüssen 8,8a; 9,9a versehen, wobei die einseitig befestigten Bänder 8, 9 eines Klettverschlusses an dem mit dem Rückenüberteil 6 versehenen Rückenteil 3 angebracht sind und die Gegenstücke 8a,9a an dem anderen Rückenteil 3.
