Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sleeping bag comprising at least one insulating layer containing a thermal insulating material and surrounding a sleeping area in a closed state of the sleeping bag.
- sleeping bags should have an insulating effect as well as possible against the environment in order to protect a sleeper from environmental influences, above all cold. Therefore, in principle, the aim is to create the best possible space for the sleeping area.
- Most sleeping bags therefore have a sleeping area surrounded by one or more insulation layers, which at best leaves at least an opening for the head of a sleeper, at least in the closed state.
- the insulating layer has or the insulating layers have chambers which are provided with a heat-insulating material, e.g. Down or synthetic fibers with good bulkiness, are filled.
- the insulating layer encloses the sleeping area, wherein it should be ensured that the heat-insulating material avoid direct thermal bridges between the sleeping area and the surroundings as far as possible.
- the sleeping bag should therefore be cut so short that this amount of air is as low as possible and the heat development of the body is used as efficiently as possible.
- a sleeping bag comprising at least one containing a thermally insulating material and in a closed state of the sleeping bag surrounding a sleeping insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer is arranged in at least one adjustment such that in a closed state of the sleeping bag by a on the inside of the sleeping area surrounding insulating layer exerted outward force of the sleeping area is increased, and wherein at least one band of elastic material is provided, which holds two mutually remote areas of the insulating layer in the adjustment such that when enlarging the of the insulating surrounded sleeping area, the band undergoes elastic stretching and thereby generates a the insulating layer in its initial position repatriating force.
- the inventive arrangement of insulating layer and elastic band makes it possible that the sleeping bag can be stretched from the inside in its width, without insulation losses due to direct thermal contact under Avoiding the heat-insulating material between the sleeping area and the environment occur.
- the material required for the expansion of the sleeping area is provided by the insulating layer, which is equipped with a "material reserve" in the adjustment area.
- the magnitude of the expansion is not determined by the insulating layer, but rather is determined by the elastic elongation of the tape. Accordingly, the elastic band allows by its arrangement on the insulating layer, an improved adaptation of the same to the body of the sleeper.
- the band which holds the insulating layer in the adjustment, is elastic, it provides for a self-expansion for a restoring force, which returns the insulating layer back to its original position as soon as through the body of the sleeper from the inside, ie from the sleeping area ago the insulating layer exerts pressure exerted.
- the expansion of the insulating layer in the adjustment range always only goes as far as required by the current body position of the sleeper, and can be completely different for different locations of the insulating layer.
- the sleeping area therefore always has an optimal shape after each movement of the sleeper and adapts automatically to the movements of the body. With all these changes, the sleeping area always remains equally reliably enclosed by the insulating layer. Without forces acting from the sleeping area, ie at rest, the insulating layer always assumes a predefined position of origin.
- the sleeping area in the Usrprungsposition ie in the closed state of the sleeping bag and without a force exerted on the inside of the insulating layer, the form of an elongated cavity with a longitudinal axis of the human body extending longitudinal axis, the insulating layer - seen in a Cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis - completely surrounds the sleeping area and the adjustment allows an increase in the size of the sleeping area formed by the insulating layer.
- the insulating layer in the adjustment is superimposed or / and folded together, wherein the elastic band overlap sections and / or adjacent wrinkles of the insulating layer interconnects.
- overlapping sections should be understood to mean superimposed or superimposed sections of the insulating layer. This is intended in particular to include all sections which, from the point of view of an imaginary center of the sleeping area, do not lie completely next to one another in a radial direction outwards, but cover one another, ie are arranged one behind the other.
- the elastic band then has a predetermined overlap width in the unstretched state. The overlap width thus determines the maximum possible widening of the sleeping area.
- Wrinkles are those areas where the insulating layer between two fold edges forms a bulge inwardly or outwardly.
- the maximum possible extension of the sleeping area by a fold is given by the greater length of the insulating layer extending along the bulge than the distance between the fold edges in the original position. The closer to a given bulge the fold edges in the original position, i. in the unstretched state of the elastic band, abut each other, the more the sleeping area can expand, until finally all the wrinkles have disappeared.
- the insulating layer may have portions in the adjustment, which abut each other in the unstretched state of the elastic band and slide upon exposure of an outwardly directed force on the inside of the insulating layer with increasing stretching of the elastic band to each other.
- These sections preferably extend substantially in the circumferential direction of the insulating layer arranged around the sleeping area, so that a pressure exerted by the sleeping area on the inner surface of the insulating layer directly leads to an expansion of the sleeping area at the point in question.
- the insulating layer is formed by a pocket filled with a heat-insulating material, which is rolled up around a longitudinal axis to form the sleeping area and whose longitudinal edges, which run parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axis, are connected to one another so that an elongated cavity is formed which forms the sleeping area.
- adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the pocket adjacent areas to form the adjustment range can be arranged overlapping each other and held together by the elastic band. Since the areas adjoining the two longitudinal edges overlap each other, it is ensured that thermal bridges, at which only the elastic band separates the sleeping area from the surroundings, can not arise.
- one of the two overlapping edge regions can be extended circumferentially around the sleeping area by an elastic band fastened to its longitudinal edge and finally attached again to the outside or inside of a region of the insulating layer adjoining the other longitudinal edge.
- the bag in which the heat insulating material is located does not need a single large receiving space for heat insulating Form material. Rather, it is readily conceivable that the bag is divided into a plurality of each filled with heat-insulating material chambers, which are separated from each other by appropriate seams. Also, a plurality of individual textile elements forming such chambers may be sewn together to form the pocket.
- two elastic bands are provided, each connecting one of the longitudinal edges of the insulating layer with an adjacent to the other of the longitudinal edges of the insulating region, wherein in the unstretched state of the elastic bands, the two longitudinal edges in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area have a predetermined overlap distance from each other, the overlap width Are defined.
- the complementary elastic bands one of which (namely, the longitudinal edge of the inner Isolierlagenabitess extending elastic band) on the inside of the outer Isolierlagenabitess attack and the other (namely, the longitudinal edge of the outer Isolierlagenabitess extending elastic band) on the outer side of the inner insulating layer section engages, by the tensile force generated in its expansion also for the fact that the two overlapping Isolierlagenabitese always fit tightly against each other and not stand out from each other. This is all the more true, the stronger the force exerted on insulating layer and the resulting strain of the elastic bands.
- the sleeping bag is therefore extremely robust and does not run the risk of dissolving its shape.
- the insulating layer always remains a single compact unit.
- the insulating layer is formed in the adjustment by a plurality of each filled with a heat-insulating material pockets, which are held together to form the sleeping area in the circumferential direction by a respective band, further wherein in the adjustment two layers of each held together with a band Pockets on top of each other and are offset in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area to each other and wherein in each of the layers at least one of the bands is made of an elastic material.
- the staggered arrangement of the two insulating layers inevitably formed thermal bridges are covered by the other insulating layer in the band. The two layers may slide to each other in the circumferential direction to some extent to allow locally as needed expansion of the sleeping area.
- the insulating layer in the adjustment has at least one fold in which - seen in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area - the insulating layer between two fold edges bulges outwards or inwards, wherein the fold edges by the elastic band are held together.
- the fold represents an arrangement in which the insulating layer is gathered to provide material which allows some extension of the sleeping area.
- the elastic band connecting the edges of the pleat ensures that once expansion has taken place, once the pressure exerted by the body of the sleeper on the inside of the insulating layer decreases.
- the number of folds formed in the adjustment range can be chosen as desired depending on the requirements. Frequently, a single fold, which allows a relatively large maximum extension, will suffice. However, a plurality of relatively smaller folds in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area may also be arranged next to one another in order to achieve the desired maximum extent of the insulating layer.
- the fold may be formed in a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area in approximately Z-shaped.
- the Z-shape of the fold leads, in addition to an inward or outward bulging, also to the formation of an overlap section formed by three sections of the insulating layer, which allows to achieve a considerable maximum expansion of the fold with only slight bulging of the fold.
- a Z-shaped fold arises, for example, when not only the two edges of a fold are held together by an elastic band, but also another elastic band is attached to a lying between the edges of the fold position and this with a side of the fold lying point of the insulating layer connects, for example, in the case of an outwardly bulging fold whose most outwardly projecting point connects to the outside of the insulating layer.
- the distance between the attachment points and the length of the other band are dimensioned so that the fold in the unstretched state of the other band does not protrude upright from the insulating layer, but is laid aside and preferably even applies to the insulating layer.
- the crease which has been put aside will, with increasing widening, ie stretching of the elastic band connecting the edges of the crease, also set against the increasing tension of the further elastic band. This provides for an increasing additional restoring force through the further band, which reliably returns the fold in the event of decreasing forces exerted on the inside of the insulating layer back into its converted and applied to the insulating original position.
- the fold is formed as a double fold with two in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area in each case approximately Z-shaped folding parts, which are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other and connected to each other.
- Each of the Z-folded portions of the insulating layer then forms an overlap portion on the outsides of the double fold and a central bulge surrounded by the Z-shaped structure therebetween.
- three elastic bands are provided in this case, which are each associated with one of the two overlapping sections and the bulge.
- the respective band connects the mutually opposite edges of the overlap section and thus ensures for a plant of the fold to the insulating layer in the folded state in which the bands are not stretched.
- the other of the bulge associated band which is arranged on the opposite side of the insulating layer, connects the mutually opposite edges of the central bulge with each other and thus ensures that the bulge after expansion is restored to its original shape.
- the central bulge cohesive band is located on the inside of the insulating layer, while the two bands at the edges of the double fold, which hold the lateral overlap sections in contact with the insulating layer, on the outside thereof are located. This arrangement ensures that the individual portions of the insulating layer, which form the double fold, compact abut each other.
- the fold may for example also be wavy. It is then advisable to attach the elastic band to the furthest to the sleeping area projecting points of the undulating fold and connect them by the elastic band.
- the insulating layer in the adjustment range then provides a relatively soft impression or "grip" through the fabric of the insulating layer, which is relatively loose in the region of the fold.
- the elastic band running essentially in the circumferential direction and always taut provides a course adapted to the body of the sleeping person. If a somewhat tighter impression of the insulating layer in the adjustment range is also desired on the outside, it is advisable to additionally or alternatively also connect the furthest outwardly projecting points of the wave-shaped fold by an elastic band.
- the elastic band is attached to the most inwardly projecting points of the outer layer and also attached to the outermost protruding points of the inner layer.
- the elastic band can be woven into the insulating layer in the adjustment. Then, due to the weave structure, each of the elastic band and the insulating layer forms a wave structure, respectively, with the bulges of the two wave structures being circumferentially offset from each other, that is, in the circumferential direction. at the point of maximum bulging outwards of the insulating layer there is a maximum bulge inward of the elastic band and vice versa.
- At least two flexible bands are provided, wherein one of the bands is arranged on the sleeping area facing side of the insulating layer and another of the flexible bands is arranged on the opposite side of the insulating layer.
- one of the bands is arranged on the sleeping area facing side of the insulating layer and another of the flexible bands is arranged on the opposite side of the insulating layer.
- two or more flexible bands may be provided to a compact and as long as possible continuous conditioning of the individual sections of the insulating layer to each other to achieve.
- the insulating layer may, for example, comprise at least one pocket formed by a substantially inelastic textile material which is filled with a heat-insulating material.
- a substantially inelastic textile material which is filled with a heat-insulating material.
- a plurality of adjoining pockets, or a divided into a plurality of pockets textile web may be provided. It does not matter here that the textile web itself is elastic. Rather, it is sufficient if sufficient through the textile web in one or more adjustment ranges Material is provided to allow expansion of the sleeping area.
- Suitable fillings of heat-insulating materials may be either natural materials, in particular down, or synthetic fibers with good bulkability.
- the elastic band in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping area is substantially continuous, so that the insulating layer can adapt to the movements of the sleeper at any height, regardless of such adjustment processes of the insulating layer in a different body height.
- the adjustment range and / or the elasticity or the length of the elastic band can be particularly large.
- the insulating layer may also have a plurality of distributed over the circumference of the sleeping area adjustment ranges in order to achieve a desired maximum possible extent.
- the elastic band allows an extension of the scope of the sleeping area by up to between 10 and 30%, preferably up to about 15%.
- a first embodiment of a sleeping bag according to the invention is generally designated 10.
- Fig. 1A shows the sleeping bag 10 in a schematic form with cut headboard, the body 12 of a lying in the sleeping area 14 of the sleeping bag 10 is schematically indicated by the shoulders and head.
- Fig. 1B shows a section around the adjustment 20 from Fig. 1A.
- Fig. 1C shows this section again in a perspective indicated representation.
- the sleeping area 14 is surrounded by an insulating layer 16, which at the in Fig. 1 embodiment shown is formed from a bag which is filled with a heat-insulating material, such as down or synthetic fibers of high bulkiness.
- a heat-insulating material such as down or synthetic fibers of high bulkiness.
- the heat-insulating material is not shown in detail.
- the in the basic form substantially trapezoidal pocket is to form the sleeping area 14 surrounding insulating layer 16 by a in Fig. 1A indicated longitudinal axis A curled into a truncated cone-like shape, so that the two longitudinal edges 18a, 18b of the pocket adjacent portions 16a, 16b of the insulating layer 16 come to lie one above the other in an overlap section.
- This arrangement provides an adjustment range 20 in Sense of the present invention, as will be explained later.
- a respective band 22a, 22b made of a resilient textile material is attached at each of the longitudinal edges 18a, 18b.
- the band 22a connects the longitudinal edge 18a of the adjustment region 20 in the outer portion 16a of the insulating layer 16 with the outside of the portion of the insulating layer 16, which continues in the adjustment 20 as an inner portion 16b of the insulating layer to the other longitudinal edge 18b.
- the band 22b connects the longitudinal edge 18b of the portion 16b of the insulating layer 16 located in the adjustment region 20 with the inner side of the portion of the insulating layer 16 which continues in the adjustment range 20 as an outer portion 16b of the insulating layer up to the other longitudinal edge 18a.
- the sleeping bag 10 thus adapts automatically to the sleeper in its respective sleeping position. This keeps the amount of air in the sleeping bag to be heated or kept warm to a minimum.
- Fig. 1B which shows the arrangement formed in the adjustment 20 in detail
- the two elastic Bands 22a, 22b generate a tensile force when stretched (in Fig. 1B indicated by dashed arrows), which drives the two superimposed sections 16a, 16b back into their starting position.
- the elastic tension of the bands 22a, 22b furthermore ensures that the two sections 16a , 16b of the insulating layer 16 always remain in abutment against each other.
- Fig. 1C It can also be seen that the bands 22a, 22b are formed continuously along the longitudinal direction A of the sleeping bag and so at any height of the body of the sleeper expansion of the sleeping area 14 as described above is possible.
- the insulating layer 16 may of course have a zipper for convenient entry and / or exit, which runs substantially along the length of the sleeping bag.
- This zipper is not shown in the figures for reasons of clarity. Since this zipper is also closed in the closed state of the sleeping bag, to which the information contained herein refers, its presence has no influence whatsoever.
- each corresponding to different embodiments of the sleeping bag according to the invention in representations Fig. 1A to 1C show the same reference numerals as in the previous figure are used for the same or equivalent components of the sleeping bag, but each increased by the number 100. To avoid repetition Reference is made to the respective preceding statements on the already explained figures.
- the insulating layer 116 in the adjustment 120 a plurality of each filled with a heat-insulating material pockets 116a - 116f, which are held together to form the sleeping area 114 in the circumferential direction by a respective band 122a - 122e.
- the pockets 116a-116g are disposed in the adjustment region 120 in two superimposed layers of respective banded pockets, the outer layer being formed by the pockets 116a, 116c, 116e and 116g respectively through the bands 122a, 122c, 122e are connected, and the inner layer is formed by the pockets 116b, 116d and 116f, which are respectively connected by the bands 122b and 122d.
- the filled with the insulating material pockets of the two layers are circumferentially offset from each other, so that the connecting the pockets bands 122a - 122e are each covered by an overlying or underlying pocket 116a - 116f the other location.
- the two layers of pockets are mutually movable in the circumferential direction, so that the pockets of the two layers can move within certain limits against each other, but not so far that two of the elastic bands come to rest on top of each other.
- the adjustment region 220 is formed by the insulating layer 216, seen in a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis A of the sleeping region 214, as in FIG Figs. 3A - 3C shown folded in approximately Z-shaped with three sections 216a, 216b and 216c, which form the legs of the fold.
- the Z-shape of the insulating layer 216 in the adjustment 220 arises in that a formed between the sections 216a, 216b of the insulating layer 216 fold 224, which bulges outward, is folded to the side and in the in Fig. 1A shown origin position in which none of the bands 222a, 222b is stretched, to a further portion 216c of the insulating layer 216 applies.
- the one band 222a is disposed on the outside of the insulating layer 216 and connects the most outwardly projecting location 218a of the fold 224 with the outside of the insulating layer 216, at a location 218b located at the edge of the adjustment area 220.
- the other band 222b is arranged on the inside of the insulating layer 216 and connects the mutually opposite edges 218c, 218d of the outwardly bulging fold 224.
- the tension exerted by the two elastic bands 222a, 222b results in a tight fit of the leg portions 216a, 216b, 216c to each other and to the outer surface of the insulating layer 216 and thus to form an overlap section. This allows the fold, with only a small bulge, nevertheless to allow a considerable maximum expansion and, after expansion, reliably moves back again into its original position, which bears compactly on the insulating layer 216.
- Fig. 4A - 4C show another one in Figs. 3A - 3C embodiment shown very similar variant.
- the insulating layer 316 in the adjustment region 320 with circumferentially contiguous sections 316a, 316b, 316c, 316d, 316e formed, which are arranged in the form of a double fold.

- the rims 318a, 318b, 318c, 318d, 318e, 318f between the respective insulating layer portions 316a, 316b, 316c, 316d, 316e are interconnected by a total of three elastic bands 322a, 322b, 322c, so that each of the Z-shaped folded portions of the insulating layer 316 on the outer side of the insulating layer 316 forms an overlap portion.
- In the enclosed by the two Z-shaped folding parts space creates a central bulge 324, which bulges out to the outside of the insulating layer 316 out.
- the arrangement of the elastic bands 322a, 322b, 322c is selected such that two of these bands 322a, 322b are disposed on the outside of the insulating layer 316, with one band 322a holding together the opposed edges 318a, 318b of one lap portion and the other band 322b holds the opposed edges 318d, 318f of the other overlap portion together. Finally, another band 322c is disposed on the inner side of the insulating layer 316 facing the sleeping area 314 and connects the opposite edges 318b, 318e of the central bulge 324c.
- the elastic bands 322a, 322b, 322c provide for a close contact of the individual adjoining sections 316a-316f of the insulating layer 316.
- the insulating layer 416 has in the adjustment 420 a total of three adjoining wave-shaped folds 416a, 416b, 416c, which are held together on their inside by an elastic band 422.

- the length of the individual sections of the strip in the unstretched state between in each case two adjacent attachment points 418a, 418b, 418c, 418d is in each case shorter than the length of the corresponding section 416a, 416b, 416c of the insulating layer between the same attachment points 418a, 418b, 418c, 418d, so that form bulged outward bulging bulges.
- a sleeping bag 510 according to the invention according to FIG Figs. 6A-6C are in the adjustment 520 two layers of wave-shaped folds 516a, 516b, ... and 516'a, 516'b, ... in the circumferential direction without offset from each other over each other, wherein the elastic band 522 to the furthest inwards, ie towards the sleeping area 514, protruding points 518a, 518c, 518e of the outer layer forming wavy folds 516a, 516b, ...

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schlafsack, umfassend wenigstens eine ein thermisch isolierendes Material enthaltende und in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Schlafsacks einen Schlafbereich umgebende Isolierlage.The present invention relates to a sleeping bag comprising at least one insulating layer containing a thermal insulating material and surrounding a sleeping area in a closed state of the sleeping bag.
Schlafsäcke sollen einerseits eine möglichst gut gegenüber der Umgebung isolierende Wirkung haben, um einen Schläfer gegenüber Umgebungseinflüssen, vor allem Kälte, zu schützen. Daher ist grundsätzlich angestrebt, einen möglichst gut abgeschlossenen Raum für den Schlafbereich zu schaffen. Die meisten Schlafsäcke haben daher einen von einer oder mehreren Isolierlagen umgebenen Schlafbereich, der in der Regel, zumindest im geschlossenen Zustand, allenfalls noch eine Öffnung für den Kopf eines Schläfers freilässt. Die Isolierlage weist bzw. die Isolierlagen weisen Kammern auf, die mit einem wärmeisolierenden Material, z.B. Daunen oder Kunstfasern mit guter Bauschfähigkeit, gefüllt sind. Die Isolierlage umschließt den Schlafbereich, wobei darauf zu achten ist, dass das wärmeisolierende Material umgehende direkte Wärmebrücken zwischen dem Schlafbereich und der Umgebung möglichst vermieden werden.On the one hand, sleeping bags should have an insulating effect as well as possible against the environment in order to protect a sleeper from environmental influences, above all cold. Therefore, in principle, the aim is to create the best possible space for the sleeping area. Most sleeping bags therefore have a sleeping area surrounded by one or more insulation layers, which at best leaves at least an opening for the head of a sleeper, at least in the closed state. The insulating layer has or the insulating layers have chambers which are provided with a heat-insulating material, e.g. Down or synthetic fibers with good bulkiness, are filled. The insulating layer encloses the sleeping area, wherein it should be ensured that the heat-insulating material avoid direct thermal bridges between the sleeping area and the surroundings as far as possible.
Das Vorhandensein der Isolierlage(n) führt jedoch, neben einer Erhöhung von Gewicht und Volumen, dazu, dass die den Schlafbereich umgebende Hülle verhältnismäßig unflexibel ist. Sie kann sich daher der individuellen Körperform und insbesondere Bewegungen eines Schläfers nicht mehr gut anpassen. Dennoch umschließt sie den Schlafbereich weitgehend und zwar in der Regel so, dass der Körper des Schlafenden den Schlafbereich fast vollständig ausfüllt. Dies führt zu eingeschränkten Bewegungsmöglichkeiten im Schlafsack und dementsprechend zu einem beengtem Gefühl beim Schlafen. Zwar könnte eine gewisse Abhilfe geschaffen werden, indem grundsätzlich der Schlafbereich etwas größer gewählt wird, als für die Körpergröße des Schläfers unbedingt erforderlich ist, allerdings führt dies wiederum dazu, dass der Schlafsack ein eigentlich unnötig großes Gewicht und Volumen bekommt. Auch erhöht dies die Luftmenge im Schlafsack. Je größer diese Luftmenge ist, die erwärmt werden muss, desto mehr Leistung muss der Körper aufwenden, um bei einer bestimmten Temperatur für wohligen Schlaf zu sorgen.However, the presence of the insulating layer (s), in addition to an increase in weight and volume, causes the envelope surrounding the sleeping area to be relatively inflexible. It can therefore no longer adapt well to the individual body shape and especially movements of a sleeper. However, it largely encloses the sleeping area, usually in such a way that the body of the sleeping person almost completely fills the sleeping area. This leads to limited movement possibilities in the sleeping bag and accordingly to a cramped feeling while sleeping. Although a certain remedy could be created by basically the sleeping area is chosen slightly larger than for the height The sleeper is absolutely necessary, but this in turn means that the sleeping bag actually gets an unnecessarily large weight and volume. Also, this increases the amount of air in the sleeping bag. The greater the amount of air that needs to be heated, the more power the body has to spend to provide comforting sleep at a certain temperature.
Der Schlafsack sollte daher so knapp geschnitten sein, dass diese Luftmenge möglichst gering ist und die Wärmeentwicklung des Körpers möglichst effizient genutzt wird.The sleeping bag should therefore be cut so short that this amount of air is as low as possible and the heat development of the body is used as efficiently as possible.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Schlafsack bereitzustellen, der einen verbesserten Schlafkomfort bietet, ohne hierfür Abstriche hinsichtlich der Isolationswirkung des Schlafsacks oder ein unnötig großes Gewicht und Volumen in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sleeping bag that offers improved sleeping comfort, without compromising on the insulating effect of the sleeping bag or an unnecessarily large weight and volume to accept.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Schlafsack, umfassend wenigstens eine ein thermisch isolierendes Material enthaltende und in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Schlafsacks einen Schlafbereich umgebende Isolierlage, wobei die Isolierlage in wenigstens einem Verstellbereich derart angeordnet ist, dass in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Schlafsacks durch eine auf die Innenseite der den Schlafbereich umgebenden Isolierlage ausgeübte nach außen gerichtete Kraft der Schlafbereich vergrößerbar ist, und wobei wenigstens ein Band aus einem elastischen Material vorgesehen ist, welches zwei voneinander entfernte Bereiche der Isolierlage in dem Verstellbereich derart zusammenhält, dass bei der Vergrößerung des von der Isolierlage umgebenen Schlafbereiches das Band eine elastische Dehnung erfährt und dadurch eine die Isolierlage in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurücktreibende Kraft erzeugt.This object is achieved by a sleeping bag, comprising at least one containing a thermally insulating material and in a closed state of the sleeping bag surrounding a sleeping insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer is arranged in at least one adjustment such that in a closed state of the sleeping bag by a on the inside of the sleeping area surrounding insulating layer exerted outward force of the sleeping area is increased, and wherein at least one band of elastic material is provided, which holds two mutually remote areas of the insulating layer in the adjustment such that when enlarging the of the insulating surrounded sleeping area, the band undergoes elastic stretching and thereby generates a the insulating layer in its initial position repatriating force.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung von Isolierlage und elastischem Band ermöglicht es, dass der Schlafsack von innen in seiner Weite gedehnt werden kann, ohne dass Isolationsverluste aufgrund direkten Wärmekontakts unter Umgehung des wärmeisolierenden Materials zwischen dem Schlafbereich und der Umgebung auftreten. Das für die Ausweitung des Schlafbereichs erforderliche Material wird nämlich durch die Isolierlage bereitgestellt, die im Verstellbereich mit einer "Materialreserve" ausgestattet ist. Die Stärke der Aufweitung wird jedoch nicht von der Isolierlage bestimmt, sondern bestimmt sich vielmehr durch die elastische Dehnung des Bandes. Demgemäß erlaubt das elastische Band durch seine Anordnung an der Isolierlage eine verbesserte Anpassung derselben an den Körper des Schläfers. Da das Band, welches die Isolierlage im Verstellbereich zusammenhält, elastisch ist, sorgt es bei einer Ausdehnung von selbst für eine Rückstellkraft, die die Isolierlage wieder in ihre Ursprungsposition zurückführt, sobald der durch den Körper des Schläfers von innen, d.h. vom Schlafbereich her, auf die Isolierlage ausgeübte Druck nachlässt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung geht die Ausdehnung der Isolierlage im Verstellbereich immer nur genau soweit, wie es durch die aktuelle Körperlage des Schläfers erforderlich ist, und kann für verschiedene Stellen der Isolierlage völlig unterschiedlich sein. Der Schlafbereich hat daher nach jeder Bewegung des Schläfers immer eine optimale Form und passt sich den Körperbewegungen automatisch an. Bei all diesen Veränderungen bleibt der Schlafbereich immer gleich zuverlässig von der Isolierlage umschlossen. Ohne vom Schlafbereich her einwirkende Kräfte, d.h. im Ruhezustand, nimmt die Isolierlage immer eine vordefinierte Ursprungsposition ein.The inventive arrangement of insulating layer and elastic band makes it possible that the sleeping bag can be stretched from the inside in its width, without insulation losses due to direct thermal contact under Avoiding the heat-insulating material between the sleeping area and the environment occur. The material required for the expansion of the sleeping area is provided by the insulating layer, which is equipped with a "material reserve" in the adjustment area. However, the magnitude of the expansion is not determined by the insulating layer, but rather is determined by the elastic elongation of the tape. Accordingly, the elastic band allows by its arrangement on the insulating layer, an improved adaptation of the same to the body of the sleeper. Since the band, which holds the insulating layer in the adjustment, is elastic, it provides for a self-expansion for a restoring force, which returns the insulating layer back to its original position as soon as through the body of the sleeper from the inside, ie from the sleeping area ago the insulating layer exerts pressure exerted. In the arrangement according to the invention, the expansion of the insulating layer in the adjustment range always only goes as far as required by the current body position of the sleeper, and can be completely different for different locations of the insulating layer. The sleeping area therefore always has an optimal shape after each movement of the sleeper and adapts automatically to the movements of the body. With all these changes, the sleeping area always remains equally reliably enclosed by the insulating layer. Without forces acting from the sleeping area, ie at rest, the insulating layer always assumes a predefined position of origin.
In der Regel wird der Schlafbereich in der Usrprungsposition, d.h. im geschlossenen Zustand des Schlafsacks und ohne eine auf die Innenseite der Isolierlage ausgeübte Kraft, die Form einer länglichen Höhlung bilden mit einer in Längsrichtung des menschlichen Körpers verlaufenden Längsachse, wobei die Isolierlage - gesehen in einem Querschnitt orthogonal zur Längsachse - den Schlafbereich vollständig umgibt und der Verstellbereich eine Vergrößerung des durch die Isolierlage gebildeten Umfangs des Schlafbereichs ermöglicht.In general, the sleeping area in the Usrprungsposition, ie in the closed state of the sleeping bag and without a force exerted on the inside of the insulating layer, the form of an elongated cavity with a longitudinal axis of the human body extending longitudinal axis, the insulating layer - seen in a Cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis - completely surrounds the sleeping area and the adjustment allows an increase in the size of the sleeping area formed by the insulating layer.
Bevorzugt ist die Isolierlage im Verstellbereich übereinander gelegt oder/und aneinander gefaltet, wobei das elastische Band Überlappabschnitte oder/und aneinander anliegende Falten der Isolierlage miteinander verbindet.Preferably, the insulating layer in the adjustment is superimposed or / and folded together, wherein the elastic band overlap sections and / or adjacent wrinkles of the insulating layer interconnects.
Unter dem Begriff Überlappabschnitte sollen dabei übereinander oder aufeinander liegende Abschnitte der Isolierlage verstanden werden. Dies soll insbesondere alle Abschnitte einschließen, die aus der Sicht von einem gedachten Zentrum des Schlafbereichs aus in einer radialen Richtung nach außen nicht vollständig nebeneinander liegen, sondern einander überdecken, also hintereinander angeordnet sind. In den Überlappabschnitten weist dann das elastische Band im ungedehnten Zustand eine vorbestimmte Überlappbreite auf. Die Überlappbreite bestimmt damit die maximal mögliche Aufweitung des Schlafbereichs.The term overlapping sections should be understood to mean superimposed or superimposed sections of the insulating layer. This is intended in particular to include all sections which, from the point of view of an imaginary center of the sleeping area, do not lie completely next to one another in a radial direction outwards, but cover one another, ie are arranged one behind the other. In the overlap sections, the elastic band then has a predetermined overlap width in the unstretched state. The overlap width thus determines the maximum possible widening of the sleeping area.
Falten sind solche Bereiche, in denen die Isolierlage zwischen zwei Faltenrändern eine Ausbauchung nach innen oder nach außen bildet. Die maximal mögliche Ausdehnung des Schlafbereichs durch eine Falte ist durch die größere Länge der sich entlang der Ausbauchung erstreckenden Isolierlage gegenüber dem Abstand zwischen den Faltenrändern in der Ursprungsposition gegeben. Je dichter bei gegebener Ausbauchung die Faltenränder in der Ursprungsposition, d.h. im ungedehnten Zustand des elastischen Bandes, aneinander anliegen, desto stärker kann sich der Schlafbereich aufweiten, bis schließlich alle Falten verschwunden sind.Wrinkles are those areas where the insulating layer between two fold edges forms a bulge inwardly or outwardly. The maximum possible extension of the sleeping area by a fold is given by the greater length of the insulating layer extending along the bulge than the distance between the fold edges in the original position. The closer to a given bulge the fold edges in the original position, i. in the unstretched state of the elastic band, abut each other, the more the sleeping area can expand, until finally all the wrinkles have disappeared.
An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, dass auch Mischformen zwischen Überlappabschnitten und Faltenanordnungen denkbar sind, denn je nach der gewählten Form der Falte entsteht gerade bei stärker aneinander anliegenden Falten häufig auch eine gewisse Überlappung. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die Falte im zusammengelegten Zustand zur Seite umgeklappt ist. Eine vollständig zur Seite umgeklappte Falte, die in der Ursprungsposition an der die Falte umgebenden Isolierlage anliegt, kann etwa auch als ein Überlappabschnitt aufgefasst werden, bei dem insgesamt drei Lagen der Isolierlage übereinander liegen.At this point it should be noted that mixed forms between overlapping sections and folding arrangements are also conceivable, because depending on the selected shape of the fold, there is often also a certain overlap in the case of more closely fitting folds. This is particularly the case when the fold is folded to the side in the collapsed state. A completely folded to the side fold, which rests in the original position on the insulating surrounding the fold, can be about also be regarded as an overlap section, in which a total of three layers of the insulating layer are superimposed.
Bei dem Schlafsack kann im Verstellbereich die Isolierlage Abschnitte aufweisen, die im ungedehnten Zustand des elastischen Bandes aneinander anliegen und bei Einwirkung einer nach außen gerichteten Kraft auf die Innenseite der Isolierlage unter zunehmender Dehnung des elastischen Bandes aneinander abgleiten. Diese Abschnitte erstrecken sich bevorzugt im Wesentlichen in Umfangsrichtung der um den Schlafbereich herum angeordneten Isolierlage, so dass ein von dem Schlafbereich auf die Innenfläche der Isolierlage ausgeübter Druck unmittelbar zu einer Ausdehnung des Schlafbereichs an der fraglichen Stelle führt.In the sleeping bag, the insulating layer may have portions in the adjustment, which abut each other in the unstretched state of the elastic band and slide upon exposure of an outwardly directed force on the inside of the insulating layer with increasing stretching of the elastic band to each other. These sections preferably extend substantially in the circumferential direction of the insulating layer arranged around the sleeping area, so that a pressure exerted by the sleeping area on the inner surface of the insulating layer directly leads to an expansion of the sleeping area at the point in question.
Es ist darüber hinaus bevorzugt denkbar, dass die Isolierlage durch eine mit einem wärmeisolierenden Material gefüllte Tasche gebildet ist, die zur Bildung des Schlafbereiches um eine Längsachse zusammengerollt ist und deren parallel zur Richtung der Längsachse verlaufende Längsränder miteinander verbunden sind, so dass sich eine längliche Höhlung ergibt, die den Schlafbereich bildet. Dann können in günstiger Weise jeweils an die Längsränder der Tasche angrenzende Bereiche zur Bildung des Verstellbereichs einander überlappend angeordnet sein und durch das elastische Band zusammengehalten sein. Da die an die beiden Längsränder angrenzenden Bereiche einander überlappen, ist sichergestellt, dass Wärmebrücken, an denen lediglich das elastische Band den Schlafbereich von der Umgebung trennt, nicht entstehen können. Es kann beispielsweise einer der beiden überlappenden Randbereiche durch ein an dessen Längsrand befestigtes elastisches Band in Umfangsrichtung um den Schlafbereich herum verlängert sein und schließlich wieder an der Außenseite oder Innenseite eines an den anderen Längsrand angrenzenden Bereichs der Isolierlage angebracht sein.In addition, it is preferably conceivable for the insulating layer to be formed by a pocket filled with a heat-insulating material, which is rolled up around a longitudinal axis to form the sleeping area and whose longitudinal edges, which run parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axis, are connected to one another so that an elongated cavity is formed which forms the sleeping area. Then in an advantageous manner adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the pocket adjacent areas to form the adjustment range can be arranged overlapping each other and held together by the elastic band. Since the areas adjoining the two longitudinal edges overlap each other, it is ensured that thermal bridges, at which only the elastic band separates the sleeping area from the surroundings, can not arise. For example, one of the two overlapping edge regions can be extended circumferentially around the sleeping area by an elastic band fastened to its longitudinal edge and finally attached again to the outside or inside of a region of the insulating layer adjoining the other longitudinal edge.
Selbstverständlich braucht die Tasche, in der sich das wärmeisolierende Material befindet, nicht einen einzigen großen Aufnahmeraum für wärmeisolierendes Material bilden. Vielmehr ist ohne weiteres vorstellbar, dass die Tasche in eine Mehrzahl von jeweils mit wärmeisolierendem Material gefüllten Kammern unterteilt ist, die durch entsprechende Nähte voneinander abgetrennt sind. Auch können eine Mehrzahl von einzelnen solche Kammern bildenden Textilelementen zusammengenäht sein, um die Tasche zu bilden.Of course, the bag in which the heat insulating material is located does not need a single large receiving space for heat insulating Form material. Rather, it is readily conceivable that the bag is divided into a plurality of each filled with heat-insulating material chambers, which are separated from each other by appropriate seams. Also, a plurality of individual textile elements forming such chambers may be sewn together to form the pocket.
Bevorzugt sind zwei elastische Bänder vorgesehen, die jeweils einen der Längsränder der Isolierlage mit einem an den anderen der Längsränder angrenzenden Bereich der Isolierlage verbinden, wobei im ungedehnten Zustand der elastischen Bänder die beiden Längsränder in Umfangsrichtung des Schlafbereichs einen vorbestimmten Überlappabstand zueinander haben, der die Überlappbreite definiert. Je größer der Überlappabstand im ungedehnten Zustand des elastischen Bandes ist und je stärker das elastische Band maximal dehnbar ist, desto mehr kann sich die Isolierlage ausdehnen. Gleichzeitig sorgen die komplementär zueinander wirkenden elastischen Bänder, von denen eines (nämlich das den Längsrand des innen liegenden Isolierlagenabschnitts verlängernde elastische Band) an der Innenseite des außen liegenden Isolierlagenabschnitts angreift und das andere (nämlich das den Längsrand des außen liegenden Isolierlagenabschnitts verlängernde elastische Band) an der Außenseite des innen liegenden Isolierlagenabschnitts angreift, durch die bei ihrer Ausdehnung entstehende Zugkraft auch dafür, dass die beiden einander überlappenden Isolierlagenabschnitte immer eng aneinander anliegen und sich nicht voneinander abheben. Dies gilt umso mehr, je stärker die auf Isolierlage ausgeübte Kraft und die dadurch erzeugte Dehnung der elastischen Bänder ist. Der Schlafsack ist dadurch äußerst robust und läuft nicht Gefahr, seine Form aufzulösen. Die Isolierlage bleibt immer eine einzige kompakte Einheit.Preferably, two elastic bands are provided, each connecting one of the longitudinal edges of the insulating layer with an adjacent to the other of the longitudinal edges of the insulating region, wherein in the unstretched state of the elastic bands, the two longitudinal edges in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area have a predetermined overlap distance from each other, the overlap width Are defined. The greater the overlap distance in the unstretched state of the elastic band and the stronger the elastic band is maximally stretchable, the more the insulating layer can expand. At the same time, the complementary elastic bands, one of which (namely, the longitudinal edge of the inner Isolierlagenabschnitts extending elastic band) on the inside of the outer Isolierlagenabschnitts attack and the other (namely, the longitudinal edge of the outer Isolierlagenabschnitts extending elastic band) on the outer side of the inner insulating layer section engages, by the tensile force generated in its expansion also for the fact that the two overlapping Isolierlagenabschnitte always fit tightly against each other and not stand out from each other. This is all the more true, the stronger the force exerted on insulating layer and the resulting strain of the elastic bands. The sleeping bag is therefore extremely robust and does not run the risk of dissolving its shape. The insulating layer always remains a single compact unit.
Alternativ ist denkbar, dass die Isolierlage in dem Verstellbereich durch eine Mehrzahl von jeweils mit einem wärmeisolierenden Material gefüllten Taschen gebildet ist, die zur Bildung des Schlafbereiches in Umfangsrichtung durch je ein Band zusammengehalten sind, wobei ferner im Verstellbereich zwei Lagen der mit je einem Band zusammengehaltenen Taschen übereinander und in Umfangsrichtung des Schlafbereichs zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind und wobei in jeder der Lagen wenigstens eines der Bänder aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt ist. Durch die versetzte Anordnung der beiden Isolierlagen werden im Bereich der Bänder unweigerlich gebildete Wärmebrücken durch die jeweils andere Isolierlage abgedeckt. Die beiden Lagen können in gewissem Umfang in Umfangsrichtung aneinander abgleiten, um lokal je nach Bedarf Ausdehnungen des Schlafbereichs zu gestatten.Alternatively, it is conceivable that the insulating layer is formed in the adjustment by a plurality of each filled with a heat-insulating material pockets, which are held together to form the sleeping area in the circumferential direction by a respective band, further wherein in the adjustment two layers of each held together with a band Pockets on top of each other and are offset in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area to each other and wherein in each of the layers at least one of the bands is made of an elastic material. The staggered arrangement of the two insulating layers inevitably formed thermal bridges are covered by the other insulating layer in the band. The two layers may slide to each other in the circumferential direction to some extent to allow locally as needed expansion of the sleeping area.
Weiterhin ist in einer bevorzugten Variante vorgesehen, dass die Isolierlage im Verstellbereich wenigstens eine Falte aufweist, in der - gesehen in einem Querschnitt orthogonal zur Längsachse des Schlafbereichs - sich die Isolierlage zwischen zwei Faltenrändern nach außen oder innen ausbaucht, wobei die Faltenränder durch das elastische Band zusammengehalten sind. Die Falte stellt eine Anordnung dar, in der die Isolierlage gerafft ist, um Material zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches eine gewisse Ausdehnung des Schlafbereichs gestattet. Das die Ränder der Falte verbindende elastische Band sorgt dafür, dass eine einmal erfolgte Ausdehnung sich wieder zurückbildet, sobald der durch den Körper des Schläfers auf die Innenseite der Isolierlage ausgeübte Druck nachlässt.Furthermore, it is provided in a preferred variant that the insulating layer in the adjustment has at least one fold in which - seen in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area - the insulating layer between two fold edges bulges outwards or inwards, wherein the fold edges by the elastic band are held together. The fold represents an arrangement in which the insulating layer is gathered to provide material which allows some extension of the sleeping area. The elastic band connecting the edges of the pleat ensures that once expansion has taken place, once the pressure exerted by the body of the sleeper on the inside of the insulating layer decreases.
Die Anzahl der im Verstellbereich ausgebildeten Falten kann je nach Anforderungen beliebig gewählt werden. Häufig wird eine einzige Falte, welche eine verhältnismäßig große maximale Ausdehnung zulässt, ausreichen. Es können jedoch auch eine Mehrzahl von verhältnismäßig kleineren Falten in Umfangsrichtung des Schlafbereichs nebeneinander angeordnet sein, um die gewünschte maximale Ausdehnung der Isolierlage zu erzielen.The number of folds formed in the adjustment range can be chosen as desired depending on the requirements. Frequently, a single fold, which allows a relatively large maximum extension, will suffice. However, a plurality of relatively smaller folds in the circumferential direction of the sleeping area may also be arranged next to one another in order to achieve the desired maximum extent of the insulating layer.
Für die Ausgestaltung der Falte kommen eine Reihe von Anordnungen in Frage. Beispielsweise kann die Falte in einem Querschnitt orthogonal zur Längsachse des Schlafbereichs in etwa Z-förmig ausgebildet sein. Die Z-Form der Falte führt neben einer Ausbauchung nach innen oder außen auch zur Bildung eines durch drei Abschnitte der Isolierlage gebildeten Überlappabschnittes, was es gestattet, bei nur geringer Ausbauchung der Falte dennoch eine beträchtliche maximale Ausdehnung der Falte zu erreichen. Eine Z-förmige Falte entsteht etwa dann, wenn nicht nur die beiden Ränder einer Falte durch ein elastisches Band zusammengehalten werden, sondern darüber hinaus noch ein weiteres elastisches Band an einer zwischen den Rändern liegenden Stelle der Falte befestigt ist und diese mit einer seitlich der Falte liegenden Stelle der Isolierlage verbindet, beispielsweise im Fall einer sich nach außen ausbauchenden Falte deren am weitesten nach außen vorstehende Stelle mit der der Außenseite der Isolierlage verbindet. Der Abstand zwischen den Befestigungsstellen und die Länge des weiteren Bandes sind dabei so bemessen, dass die Falte im ungedehnten Zustand des weiteren Bandes nicht aufrecht von der Isolierlage absteht, sondern zur Seite gelegt ist und sich bevorzugt sogar an die Isolierlage anlegt. Erfährt der Schlafbereich eine Aufweitung, so wird sich die zur Seite gelegte Falte mit zunehmender Aufweitung, d.h. Dehnung des die Ränder der Falte verbindenden elastischen Bandes, außerdem gegen die zunehmende Spannung des weiteren elastischen Bandes aufstellen. Dies sorgt für eine zunehmende zusätzliche Rückstellkraft durch das weitere Band, die die Falte bei nachlassenden auf die Innenseite der Isolierlage ausgeübte Kräfte zuverlässig wieder in ihre umgelegte und an der Isolierlage anliegende Ursprungsposition zurückbringt.For the design of the fold a number of arrangements come into question. For example, the fold may be formed in a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area in approximately Z-shaped. The Z-shape of the fold leads, in addition to an inward or outward bulging, also to the formation of an overlap section formed by three sections of the insulating layer, which allows to achieve a considerable maximum expansion of the fold with only slight bulging of the fold. A Z-shaped fold arises, for example, when not only the two edges of a fold are held together by an elastic band, but also another elastic band is attached to a lying between the edges of the fold position and this with a side of the fold lying point of the insulating layer connects, for example, in the case of an outwardly bulging fold whose most outwardly projecting point connects to the outside of the insulating layer. The distance between the attachment points and the length of the other band are dimensioned so that the fold in the unstretched state of the other band does not protrude upright from the insulating layer, but is laid aside and preferably even applies to the insulating layer. If the sleeping area experiences a widening, then the crease which has been put aside will, with increasing widening, ie stretching of the elastic band connecting the edges of the crease, also set against the increasing tension of the further elastic band. This provides for an increasing additional restoring force through the further band, which reliably returns the fold in the event of decreasing forces exerted on the inside of the insulating layer back into its converted and applied to the insulating original position.
Eine noch größere Aufweitung lässt sich erzielen, wenn die Falte als Doppelfalte mit zwei in einem Querschnitt orthogonal zur Längsachse des Schlafbereichs jeweils in etwa Z-förmigen Faltenteilen ausgebildet ist, die spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander angeordnet und miteinander verbunden sind. Jeder der Z-förmig gefalteten Abschnitte der Isolierlage bildet dann einen Überlappabschnitt an den Außenseiten der Doppelfalte und eine zentrale von der Z-förmigen Struktur umschlossene Ausbauchung dazwischen. Vorzugsweise sind in diesem Fall drei elastische Bänder vorgesehen, die jeweils einem der beiden Überlappabschnitte und der Ausbauchung zugeordnet sind. Bei den beiden äußeren Überlappabschnitten verbindet das jeweilige Band die einander gegenüber liegenden Ränder des Überlappabschnitts und sorgt damit für eine Anlage der Falte an die Isolierlage im zusammengefalteten Zustand, in dem die Bänder nicht gedehnt sind. Das weitere der Ausbauchung zugeordnete Band, das auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Isolierlage angeordnet ist, verbindet die einander gegenüber liegenden Ränder der zentralen Ausbauchung miteinander und sorgt so dafür, dass sich die Ausbauchung nach erfolgter Ausdehnung wieder zu ihrer ursprünglichen Form zurückstellt. Beispielsweise wird bei einer Doppelfalte mit nach außen vorstehender zentraler Auswölbung sich das die zentrale Auswölbung zusammenhaltende Band an der Innenseite der Isolierlage befinden, während sich die beiden Bänder an den Rändern der Doppelfalte, welche die seitlichen Überlappabschnitte in Anlage an der Isolierlage halten, auf deren Außenseite befinden. Diese Anordnung stellt sicher, dass die einzelnen Abschnitte der Isolierlage, welche die Doppelfalte bilden, kompakt aneinander anliegen.An even greater expansion can be achieved if the fold is formed as a double fold with two in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the sleeping area in each case approximately Z-shaped folding parts, which are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other and connected to each other. Each of the Z-folded portions of the insulating layer then forms an overlap portion on the outsides of the double fold and a central bulge surrounded by the Z-shaped structure therebetween. Preferably, three elastic bands are provided in this case, which are each associated with one of the two overlapping sections and the bulge. In the two outer overlap sections, the respective band connects the mutually opposite edges of the overlap section and thus ensures for a plant of the fold to the insulating layer in the folded state in which the bands are not stretched. The other of the bulge associated band, which is arranged on the opposite side of the insulating layer, connects the mutually opposite edges of the central bulge with each other and thus ensures that the bulge after expansion is restored to its original shape. For example, in a double fold with outwardly projecting central bulge, the central bulge cohesive band is located on the inside of the insulating layer, while the two bands at the edges of the double fold, which hold the lateral overlap sections in contact with the insulating layer, on the outside thereof are located. This arrangement ensures that the individual portions of the insulating layer, which form the double fold, compact abut each other.
Die Falte kann beispielsweise auch wellenförmig ausgebildet sein. Es bietet sich dann an, das elastische Band an den am weitesten zum Schlafbereich hin vorstehenden Stellen der wellenförmigen Falte zu befestigen und diese durch das elastische Band zu verbinden. Nach außen hin bietet dann die Isolierlage im Verstellbereich ein relativ weicher Eindruck bzw. "Griff" durch den im Bereich der Falte relativ locker aufliegenden Stoff der Isolierlage. Innen sorgt das im Wesentlichen im Umfangsrichtung verlaufende und stets straff gespannte elastische Band für einen dem Körper des Schlafenden angepassten Verlauf. Ist auch nach außen hin ein etwas strafferer Eindruck der Isolierlage im Verstellbereich erwünscht, so bietet es sich an, zusätzlich oder alternativ auch die am weitesten nach außen vorstehenden Stellen der wellenförmigen Falte durch ein elastisches Band zu verbinden.The fold may for example also be wavy. It is then advisable to attach the elastic band to the furthest to the sleeping area projecting points of the undulating fold and connect them by the elastic band. Outwardly, the insulating layer in the adjustment range then provides a relatively soft impression or "grip" through the fabric of the insulating layer, which is relatively loose in the region of the fold. On the inside, the elastic band running essentially in the circumferential direction and always taut provides a course adapted to the body of the sleeping person. If a somewhat tighter impression of the insulating layer in the adjustment range is also desired on the outside, it is advisable to additionally or alternatively also connect the furthest outwardly projecting points of the wave-shaped fold by an elastic band.
Es ist außerdem möglich, im Verstellbereich wenigstens zwei Lagen von wellenförmigen Falten übereinander anzuordnen, wobei die Wellen der einzelnen Lagen in Umfangsrichtung ohne Versatz zueinander angeordnet sind. Das elastische Band ist an den am weitesten nach innen vorstehenden Stellen der äußeren Lage befestigt und außerdem an den am weitesten nach außen vorstehenden Stellen der inneren Lage befestigt. Das elastischeIt is also possible to arrange in the adjustment at least two layers of wavy folds one above the other, wherein the waves of the individual layers are arranged in the circumferential direction without offset from each other. The elastic band is attached to the most inwardly projecting points of the outer layer and also attached to the outermost protruding points of the inner layer. The elastic
Band wird damit beinahe unsichtbar, da sowohl nach außen wie nach innen lediglich die wellenförmigen Ausbauchungen der jeweiligen Isolierlage in Erscheinung treten. Gleichzeitig reicht ein einziges im Verstellbereich im Wesentlichen in Umfangsrichtung der Isolierlage um den Schlafbereich herum verlaufendes elastisches Band aus, um die Falten der Isolierlage zusammenzuhalten und die Form des Schlafbereichs zu definieren.Band is thus almost invisible, since both outwardly and inwardly only the wave-shaped bulges of the respective insulating layer appear. At the same time, a single elastic band extending around the sleeping area in the adjustment area substantially in the circumferential direction of the insulating layer is sufficient to hold the folds of the insulating layer together and to define the shape of the sleeping area.
Außerdem kann in dem Verstellbereich das elastische Band in die Isolierlage eingewoben sein. Dann bilden aufgrund der Webstrukur sowohl das elastische Band als auch die Isolierlage jeweils eine Wellenstruktur, wobei die Ausbauchungen der beiden Wellenstrukturen in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt sind, d.h. an der Stelle einer maximalen Ausbauchung nach außen der Isolierlage befindet sich eine maximale Ausbauchung nach innen des elastischen Bandes und umgekehrt.In addition, the elastic band can be woven into the insulating layer in the adjustment. Then, due to the weave structure, each of the elastic band and the insulating layer forms a wave structure, respectively, with the bulges of the two wave structures being circumferentially offset from each other, that is, in the circumferential direction. at the point of maximum bulging outwards of the insulating layer there is a maximum bulge inward of the elastic band and vice versa.
Bevorzugt sind wenigstens zwei flexible Bänder vorgesehen, wobei eines der Bänder auf der dem Schlafbereich zugewandten Seite der Isolierlage angeordnet ist und ein weiteres der flexiblen Bänder auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Isolierlage angeordnet ist. Grundsätzlich können, wie dies oben für den Fall von sich in Umfangsrichtung um den Schlafbereich herum erstreckenden überlappenden Randbereichen der Isolierlage beschrieben wurde, für jede Falte ein bzw. für jeden Überlappabschnitt sogar zwei oder noch mehr flexible Bänder vorgesehen sein, um eine kompakte und möglichst dauernd anhaltende Anlage der einzelnen Abschnitte der Isolierlage aneinander zu erzielen.Preferably, at least two flexible bands are provided, wherein one of the bands is arranged on the sleeping area facing side of the insulating layer and another of the flexible bands is arranged on the opposite side of the insulating layer. In principle, as described above for the case of circumferentially extending around the sleeping area around overlapping edge regions of the insulating layer, for each fold or for each overlapping section even two or more flexible bands may be provided to a compact and as long as possible continuous conditioning of the individual sections of the insulating layer to each other to achieve.
Die Isolierlage kann beispielsweise wenigstens eine durch ein im Wesentlichen unelastisches Textilmaterial gebildete Tasche umfassen, welche mit einem wärmeisolierenden Material gefüllt ist. Alternativ können auch eine Vielzahl von aneinander anschließenden Taschen, bzw. eine in eine Vielzahl von Taschen unterteilte Textilbahn vorgesehen sein. Es kommt hierbei nicht darauf an, dass die Textilbahn selbst elastisch ist. Vielmehr reicht es aus, wenn durch die Textilbahn in einem oder mehreren Verstellbereichen ausreichend Material bereitgestellt wird, um eine Ausdehnung des Schlafbereichs zu ermöglichen. Geeignete Füllungen aus wärmeisolierenden Materialien können entweder aus natürlichen Materialien, insbesondere Daunen, oder aus Kunstfasern mit guter Bauschfähigkeit bestehen.The insulating layer may, for example, comprise at least one pocket formed by a substantially inelastic textile material which is filled with a heat-insulating material. Alternatively, a plurality of adjoining pockets, or a divided into a plurality of pockets textile web may be provided. It does not matter here that the textile web itself is elastic. Rather, it is sufficient if sufficient through the textile web in one or more adjustment ranges Material is provided to allow expansion of the sleeping area. Suitable fillings of heat-insulating materials may be either natural materials, in particular down, or synthetic fibers with good bulkability.
Vorzugsweise ist das elastische Band in Längsrichtung des Schlafbereichs im Wesentlichen durchgehend ausgebildet, so dass sich die Isolierlage in jeder Körperhöhe den Bewegungen des Schläfers anpassen kann, und zwar unabhängig von solchen Anpassungsvorgängen der Isolierlage in anderer Körperhöhe. An Stellen, an denen eine besonders große Anpassungsfähigkeit erwünscht ist, kann demgemäß der Verstellbereich oder/und die Elastizität bzw. die Länge des elastischen Bandes besonders groß gewählt werden.Preferably, the elastic band in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping area is substantially continuous, so that the insulating layer can adapt to the movements of the sleeper at any height, regardless of such adjustment processes of the insulating layer in a different body height. In places where a particularly large adaptability is desired, accordingly, the adjustment range and / or the elasticity or the length of the elastic band can be particularly large.
Es versteht sich, dass die Isolierlage auch mehrere über den Umfang des Schlafbereichs verteilte Verstellbereiche aufweisen kann, um eine gewünschte maximal mögliche Ausdehnung zu erreichen.It is understood that the insulating layer may also have a plurality of distributed over the circumference of the sleeping area adjustment ranges in order to achieve a desired maximum possible extent.
Beispielsweise hat sich gezeigt, dass das elastische Band eine Ausdehnung des Umfangs des Schlafbereichs um bis zu zwischen 10 und 30 %, vorzugsweise bis zu ca. 15 % gestattet.For example, it has been found that the elastic band allows an extension of the scope of the sleeping area by up to between 10 and 30%, preferably up to about 15%.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die Isolierlage 16 selbstverständlich zum bequemeren Einstieg oder/und Ausstieg einen Reißverschluss aufweisen kann, der im Wesentlichen entlang der Länge des Schlafsacks verläuft. Dieser Reißverschluss ist in den Figuren aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht eingezeichnet. Da dieser Reißverschluss im geschlossenen Zustand des Schlafsacks, auf den sich die hierin enthaltenen Angaben durchweg beziehen, ebenfalls geschlossen ist, hat sein Vorhandensein keinerlei Einfluss.For the sake of completeness it should be noted that the insulating

Außerdem sind zwei elastische Bänder 222a, 222b vorgesehen. Das eine Band 222a ist an der Außenseite der Isolierlage 216 angeordnet und verbindet die am weitesten nach außen vorstehende Stelle 218a der Falte 224 mit der Außenseite der Isolierlage 216, und zwar an einer Stelle 218b, die am Rand des Verstellbereichs 220 liegt. Das andere Band 222b ist demgegenüber an der Innenseite der Isolierlage 216 angeordnet und verbindet die einander gegenüberliegender Ränder 218c, 218d der sich nach außen auswölbenden Falte 224. Die durch die beiden elastischen Bänder 222a, 222b ausgeübte Spannung führt zu einer engen Anlage der Schenkelabschnitte 216a, 216b, 216c aneinander und an die Außenfläche der Isolierlage 216 und somit zur Bildung eines Überlappabschnittes. Dies gestattet es, dass die Falte bei nur geringer Ausbauchung dennoch eine beträchtliche maximale Ausdehnung ermöglicht und sich außerdem nach erfolgter Ausdehnung zuverlässig wieder in ihre kompakt an der Isolierlage 216 anliegende Ursprungsposition zurück bewegt.In addition, two
