EP1998651B1 - Car-alerting heating pillow - Google Patents

Abstract

The pillow has a flexible filling material (12), inside a textile outer skin (11), and a bag (16). A light reflex material (5) is applied at a part of the external area of a waistcoat (2). The rest of the external area has a glaring and flashy color, preferably bright orange. A laminar cover (3) is made of flexible, textile material. Multiple small air zones are distinguished from each other by adjacent fibers. The waistcoat and the cover are folded up and rolled up and inserted in the bag (16). An independent claim is also included for a method for use of an auto warning warming cushion.

Description

The invention relates to a carwarm pad consisting of a cushion which includes elastic filler material and a pocket within a textile outer skin, and a vest in which light reflective material is applied to a portion of the outer surface and the remaining portion of the outer surface is substantially a garish and conspicuous color , preferably bright orange and a flat top made of elastic, textile material with adjacent fibers very numerous small air zones are delimited from each other.

Many people are killed in road traffic. For example, the Federal Statistical Office of the Federal Republic of Germany cites around 440,000 injured people for the 2004 calendar year. In order to be able to help these injured people, aids are required that must be available as quickly as possible and as well as possible adapted to the most diverse emergency situations. Therefore, for example, the German legislator prescribes in § 35 h of the StVZO the carrying of a first-aid kit, the content of which is determined in accordance with DIN 13164. These include, but are not limited to, adhesive plaster, bandage, bandages, bandages, compresses, bandages, triangular cloth, scissors and a thin rescue blanket. This list shows that the materials are very small, especially designed for the direct treatment of wounds and especially applicable when an injured person could already be recovered from the accident vehicle and has been removed from the road, so that he no longer is exposed to the risk of another traffic accident. The sad experience, however, teaches that Accidents often occur in confusing places and / or in bad weather with moisture, and / or cold and / or snow and / or ice. In general, any traffic accident involves the risk of a secondary accident resulting from subsequent traffic and / or secondary injuries and / or illnesses, the cause of which only occurs after the primary accident. A special extra burden on an injured person is hypothermia. In the normal state, the body temperature of humans is kept constant by the circulation at about 36 - 37 ° C. If an accident victim already shocked by the shock is exposed to low temperatures, the body may reduce the outflow of heat down to a temperature of the core region of 34 ° C by contracting the blood vessels in the extremities and increasing blood flow to the body outer body regions is greatly reduced. This so-called centralization creates an outer zone of cold blood that barely exchanges heat with the body's core. Below a body temperature of 34 ° C, the patient's consciousness becomes more and more clouded until increasing paralysis occurs below 27 ° C. It comes to unconsciousness, later to a respiratory and circulatory arrest due to cardiac arrhythmia.

That is why one of the most urgent tasks is to clearly warn traffic to follow traffic as soon as possible after the occurrence of an accident and to inform subsequent motorists at an early stage that an accident has occurred before them. At the same time as possible, the injured should be freed and supplied, including not only the setting of strongly bleeding vessels, but also storage of the accident victim in a stable lateral position to prevent the risk of suffocation caused by blood and / or vomit in the throat area. In the third step, it must be ensured that the injured person is sufficiently warmed.

As an aid to this situation, the legislator therefore prescribes the presence of a warning triangle and a first-aid kit in the motor vehicle. It is in practice a major disadvantage of the warning triangle that it is not available with a single handle, but usually needs to be removed from the trunk. However, if its flap is damaged and / or inaccessible, precious time passes, during which the helper is not marked as such and can therefore be overlooked under adverse circumstances. Even within the trunk, the warning triangle is immediately visible only in a few vehicles on the inside of the trunk lid. In any case, the warning triangle must be removed and unfolded with further handles from its holder and / or packaging. Only then can the helper oppose the following traffic as a warning against the accident.

As a remedy for this situation, in some countries it is mandatory to carry a safety vest in the vehicle, which the helper or a slightly injured person can immediately put on in order to be recognizable by their bright color in the dark or light reflective material in the dark for subsequent drivers.

Like the warning triangle, however, the safety vest also has the very serious disadvantage of being completely inoperative after an accident for as long as it can not be found.

As mentioned, in the second phase after the accident, the injured will be stored, for which the rescue blanket contained in the German first aid kit is available. Their disadvantage, however, is that depending on the storage location of the first aid kit, it will only become available with numerous manipulations. Even if it is spread out, it protects the injured from cooling down, especially against the influence of moisture and, when coated with aluminum, within certain limits. However, this effect is limited to those areas in which the rescue blanket is not in surface contact with a hard bearing surface and body parts of the injured person. At these points, the rescue blanket is not a good insulator because its material does not include air pockets for the sake of a small pack volume. Insulating the emergency blanket acts only in those places where the clothing of the injured and / or air spaces below or above the ceiling, which is e.g. form between ceiling folds or over tufts of grass, delimiting areas of air that are not flowed through.

For this reason, the thin rescue blanket can not protect a person covered with it from being chilled by air passing over it. It should be noted that the human body radiates at least one third of its heat through the neck and head, because the blood circulation is particularly intense here. Also for this subtask The statutory emergency equipment does not provide any auxiliary equipment.

Another legal warning triangle is not included in the minimum legal requirement, although in most cases it would be a useful and effective aid.

The EP-A-1 159 902 discloses a car pillow with pocket, in which a blanket is inserted.

In the standard equipment of motor vehicles lacks tools that allow a trapped passenger in not or only with difficulty achievable seat belt lock a severing of the belt, and a tool for smashing a disc, if this way remains as the only emergency exit for leaving a vehicle.

Unlike airplanes, automotive emergency equipment virtually never provides a means of keeping afloat a person who is in deep water due to a car crash, either unable to swim and / or weakened.

Against this background, the invention has the task of creating a universal tool that is very quickly available as a piece of equipment for motor vehicles and therefore preferably stored in the interior of the vehicle, where it is not classified as disturbing, but in everyday use of the vehicle provides additional benefits that can serve after an accident to visualize a helper and / or lightly injured during the day and at night, that stored injured from heat loss and that used in particular for the thermal protection of the head of injured can be. In addition, the universal tool should provide the functions of an additional warning triangle with a lightweight, cost-effective and easy-to-understand deployment mechanism. In one trim level, it should provide aids for mouth-to-mouth breathing and emergency exit through glass panes and be expandable as a buoyancy aid.

As a solution, the invention describes a carwarming heat pad, consisting of a pillow with a pocket, a vest, which is partially coated with light reflective material and otherwise garish and flashy, and an insulating blanket, which is characterized in that the vest is folded and / or rolled up and the blanket is folded and / or rolled up and blanket and vest are placed in the pocket.

A significant advantage of the invention car warming heat pad is that it is welcome in everyday use of the car in the interior and can be used in various places and in various positions as upholstery. In particular, on long trips, it is medically recommended to prefer the so-called "active sitting" instead of hours of stationary sitting. This is an ongoing change in the sitting position and posture means, in which a cushion helps to cushion any contact of the body with windows columns, windows, center consoles or other vehicle bodies. The invention even describes a variant which provides a constriction in the center of the cushion and in which the cover and / or warning vest contained in the cushion are folded up at two edges than in the middle, so that In the middle of the pillow, a hollow forms, supporting the head, arms, legs or a whole person against slipping sideways.

In the event of an accident, the cushion is usually reachable with a single grip after impact since it is preferably used in the vicinity of the passengers.

For the purpose of further optimizing the carwarm heat pad in terms of the task as a universal tool that is very quickly available after a traffic accident and is universally applicable, the invention describes numerous advantageous embodiments. This includes the fact that the bag can be closed on the pillow, whereby the warning vest and blanket stored therein do not fall out, but are always available together with the pillow. The invention prefers as a closure a zipper or a Velcro closure, since he is task according to open very quickly. It is advantageous to arrange the closure on the edge of the pad, since it is the easiest to reach there. Another advantage of this arrangement is that it expands the bag to the maximum extent, so that the stowage volume is maximized in relation to the cushion size. The invention recommends that at least half of the outline of the pillow be designed as a closure for the bag in order to obtain the advantage of a large opening. The larger the opening, the faster the safety vest and blanket can be removed. Another advantage is that packing is easier and more precisely feasible, with the advantage that through an accurate folding and clean stacking the removal and the unfolding is further accelerated.

The invention describes a variant in which one side of the pad is expanded as a side wall of the bag and consists only of a thin, textile material.

Of high utility value is a rectangular cushion, since it can be used advantageously on the approximately rectangular seats and backrests of a vehicle. Another advantage of the rectangular shape is that folded textiles can therefore be easily stowed in it, because it requires a very simple folding. For the shape of a rectangular pillow, which has a pocket closure on all sides and holds a partially flexible side wall only in the area of a corner on the pillow, so that forms a small triangular pocket, the invention describes the use of the pillow as a warming headgear for the Emergency. For this, the closure of the side wall of the bag, e.g. a zipper or Velcro fastener opened so far that the side wall holds only a triangular area of the bag closed. The remaining area of the sidewall is folded over at the edge of the triangular pocket and, in a second step, folded over the corner of the remaining pocket to the other side of the pillow.

If the folded portion of the side wall is comparatively stiff, then it forms a trapezoid whose parallel sides are inclined at 45 ° to the two nearby edges of the pad. If the sidewall is made of a very flexible material, the sidewall adapts in shape to the triangular residual pocket. For use as a headgear, the triangular pocket is spread apart at its opening and placed on a person's head so that the corner of the triangular pocket points upwards like a pointed cap.

In this case, the invention prefers that the cushion is arranged on the back of the person and hangs over the neck away on the back. It is advantageous that a lying person receives in addition to covering the forehead nor a pillow. A standing person is protected by the pillow in the neck against the rigors of the weather, which hit from behind.

In an advantageous embodiment, the invention proposes that the side wall, which is folded over the corner of the pad diagonally, can be fastened on the other side of the pad with a hood holder. For this purpose, a hand strap is preferred, which is attached to the inside of the folded side wall on the corner. This hand strap can be guided in the closed state of the bag to the outside and used to transport the car heat pad. When used as a hood holder, it can be hooked into a hook on the opposite outside of the pillow or fixed with a push button or a sewn on and closable with Velcro loop. It is also possible that on the opposite outside of the pillow, a tape is sewn, which is knotted with the loop.

If the folded-over side wall is made of moisture-repellent or moisture-repellent material, The emergency head cover also serves as weather protection in snow and rain.

An additional advantageous feature variant would be to fit the remaining triangular region of the pocket with a liner, such as e.g. a coat, which warmed the head in extreme cold even better.

It is within the scope of this invention that the carwarming heat pad and its components be used as a carrier for information that must be quickly communicated to other, subsequent drivers so as to reduce the risk of impacting the vehicles that first crashed. Both the outer sides of the cushion and / or a folded side wall of the cushion pocket and / or the vest and / or the blanket are suitable for this purpose.

The invention proposes that words such as "accident" or "help" or "fire danger" are applied to these surfaces. Alternatively or additionally, graphic messages may be applied, such as e.g. a warning triangle according to § 53a of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations, consisting of a red bordered, white, triangular area with a broad black line in the middle.

If the red border around the white triangle is made of reflective material, the cushion can also be used as a proper warning triangle.

For this purpose, it is necessary that a practical device for setting up the warning triangle is presented. For the invention proposes that, for example, the warning triangle on a side wall of the bag is arranged and this side wall is permanently and pivotally attached to the upper edge, ie above the upward-pointing tip of the warning triangle on the pillow. The other edges of the sidewall should be detachable from the bag with a zipper or velcro closure so that the sidewall folds up against the pillow like a book. In order to prevent the side wall and cushions from pivoting away from each other in an uncontrolled manner, the "free" edges of the cushion should be held close to the side wall by a textile strip at each of the two corners. For this purpose, it is advisable to sew on both corners either on the inside of the bag and / or the pillow ever a textile strip which is connectable to the opposite corner and thereby fixes the bag in a partially open position in which they move with the opening can be lowered down to one level.

An advantage of this arrangement is that the two textile strips are very close to the ground, which is why it lends itself to the weighting of the erected cushion as protection against blowing away by wind to deposit a heavy object on each of the textile strips. Thanks to the partially flexible material of the cushion and the side wall, it is also possible to choose items that require a small expansion of the triangular opening. The big advantage of this simple arrangement is that unlike a conventional warning triangle, no heavy foot must be constantly carried as ballast, but any objects, such as the tool kit, are used for it. This will prevent the carwarm heat pad the unladen weight of the ready vehicle increased to an undesirable extent.

When the bag is closed, one of the textile strips can be guided outward as a carrying handle. For this purpose, it makes sense to push the two runners of a double-barreled zipper together at this point except for a small gap for pushing through the carrying handle and / or to introduce a narrow slot next to the zipper, through which the carrying handle can be inserted.

In a further embodiment, the carwarming heat pad according to the invention is to be extended so that it can also be used for enclosed passengers as aids for emergency exit. For this purpose, the invention proposes that on the inner edge of a side wall, a flat strip of hard material is integrated, which carries at one end a Nothammerkegel hard metal. The effective direction of this emergency hammer cone should be oriented so that it is arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis and in the surface of the strip. For use of that part of the side wall, which covers the emergency hammer cone to the outside, folded to the side and fastened there, z. B. with a Velcro. In the second step, the (partially flexible) side wall of the bag is rolled up around the hard material of the flat strip around and thus forms an ergonomically advantageous handle from the flat, hard, strip which is in itself less than handy. Thanks to the wrapping through the material of the side wall of the flat strip can be designed so that it can transmit tensile and compressive forces in the direction of the plane of the sheet material to a high degree, compared to across However, this impacting forces is very flexible, so that it does not significantly limit the comfort of the pillow during storage, but after wrapping with the material of the sidewall allows a satisfactory function as a hammer emergency.

In a further, interesting variant, the invention calls the equipment of the flat strip on the outer edge with a sawtooth-like notch. Thus, in the case of blockage of the lock for the seat belt of the seat belt can be cut. Of course, the use of this saw in other emergencies makes sense, such as the cutting of panels, cables, textiles, branches or other.

As a further function of the flat strip, the invention describes a mouth opening with a wide, flat edge arranged around it. This opening should be adapted to the minimum dimensions of a human mouth and serve as an intermediate piece for a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It is thought of such cases in which, although the need for ventilation is recognized and the helper is physically capable of doing so, but the risk of infection by direct contact with blood and / or saliva of the injured must fear and therefore a vital respiratory donation without this aid would refrain. As well as for use as emergency hammer or emergency saw, the side wall is folded away from the mouth opening, for example fixed with a Velcro strip and wound in the next step, the side wall to the remaining part of the flat strip around. With this handle, the helper can place the mouthpiece on the injured person's mouth position it with the other hand first fix the head of the injured person and then close his nostrils. For the respiratory donation, the helper must now only touch the surface of his tool, but not the injured person.

As a further, interesting variant, the invention mentions the equipment of the cushion and / or the vest and / or blanket at least on a part of their surfaces with air- and watertight, flexible and closable air chambers made of plastic and / or textile material. For this purpose, suitable bags are available according to current state of the art from a variety of materials and composites and to install with little effort to the textile materials. With this additional equipment opens up numerous additional applications.

In terms of the task of the invention, it is obvious to provide portions of cushion and / or ceiling with air cushions with which can be supported portions of the body. It would be conceivable, for example, that the ceiling is provided with longitudinally aligned chambers similar to an air mattress, which are bendable, for example, for raising the feet in two places near the buttocks and back of the knees and held up by another object, or a third , also bendable and again guided down to the base area of the ceiling with additional air chambers are supported. In the sense of the task is also the insulating effect of the air chambers welcome, which thereby provide for an improved isolation of an injured person.

It would also be possible to use the bags as a heat bottle, for which e.g. from a still operational vehicle, water from the windscreen washer system is filled with a small amount of hot cooling water from the engine and placed on the injured.

In accordance with the lifejackets common on board aircraft, it is advantageous to also equip the safety vest with air bags so that in the event of an emergency of a fall of the vehicle in large and / or deep water areas of a weakened and / or non-floating car occupant after exiting the sinking or sunken vehicle can be used as a buoyancy aid.

In a further variant, the invention discloses how the outer skin of a cushion and / or the blanket can be utilized as an uninterrupted, long strip of bandage material. For this purpose, strip-shaped, flexible reinforcements are applied to two opposite edges, which are meandering at regular intervals around predetermined tear lines U-shaped around, emanating from the reinforced edges and are aligned perpendicular thereto and are brought close to the opposite edge. Ideally, you should run as close to the opposite edge as possible until only half of the distance value remains between two predetermined tear lines emanating from one edge.

From the opposite edge also go comb-like aligned, mirror-symmetrical predetermined tear lines, which also close to the opposite Lead edge. The flexible reinforcement is meandered around these predetermined tear lines. As a result, a textile strip is delimited, which in turn runs between these reinforcements meandering on the ceiling and / or an outer side of the pillow.

In an emergency, if no first aid kit or other dressing material is available, the predetermined tear lines can be torn manually. The flexible reinforcements around it prevent the fabric from being completely torn. After careful tearing of all predetermined tear lines, the previously meandering textile surface can be pulled apart into an elongated strip. Although this strip is not perfectly flat, but has at the former "kinks" depending on a fold, but in an emergency, where it is e.g. A bleeding is to be breastfeeding, thus an aid in the first place possible.

So that under the increased mental and temporal pressure of an emergency situation, the tearing is carried out specifically and properly, the invention recommends to print on the predetermined tear lines a clear mark and additionally represent a corresponding short-term use text and / or graph.

In a further advantageous variant, the invention mentions sewn-on pockets as additional equipment of the vest. It makes sense to deposit in these bags material that is helpful for the care of an injured person in an emergency, such as adhesive plaster, bandages, scissors, spatula, flashlight or the like. Thanks to the storage of the car heat pad in the interior, it can under certain conditions Circumstances will be available faster than the contents of the first aid kit.

In a further variant, the vest can be used from both sides, thereby e.g. various information may be affixed to the outside of the vest for subsequent motorists. It is conceivable, for example, that in a phase immediately after the accident, the side of the vest with the word "help" applied is turned outwards. When an expected help arrives or is no longer required, the vest can be turned over and then the information "accident" can be made visible to other drivers for warning.

As a further variant for use in an emergency, the invention proposes that on the vest in unfolded and attracted by a human condition on the outside of the pillow is fixed. It makes sense to place the cushion on one of the shoulders, e.g. as a support for a pull rope, a crowbar or other tool for lifting heavy loads or in air filling as a floating body.

If the pillow were fastened on the back, a standing helper would make a message applied to the pillow visible from afar. Functionally, the pillow on the back would also be in the case in which a helper with his back against a sharp edge and / or small area must lift.

When the pillow is attached to the chest, the use as a float again makes sense. It is conceivable but also the buffering of loads and other forces to be exercised.

As a further, interesting embodiment, the invention calls a multi-layered design of blanket and / or vest, whereby various properties can be combined. Possibilities are listed that at least one layer is heat-insulating, dirt-repellent, water-repellent, flame-retardant, heat-resistant or bullet-braking. With this equipment, the aid can be used to ward off heat, dirt, water and fire. Thus, an injured person may e.g. can also be stored on a cold or polluted surface. It is also possible to use on moist surfaces such as dewy meadows.

A blanket of flame retardant material or with a flame retardant coating can also be used to combat small fires by their oxygen supply is at least very limited, but ideally prevented. A conceivable application are smoldering fires or very small fires, as e.g. be ignited by falling cigarette butts.

A bullet-braking effect of the vest can be lifesaving in those areas where casualties are not supported, but are attacked. In these cases, it is recommended to abstain from the warning effect of the vest and instead to prefer a camouflage color.

In an emergency, it can be life-sustaining or at least cold-catching in autumn or winter outside temperatures when the blanket can be used as a cloak for a light injured person or a helper. For this purpose, the invention proposes that at least one corner of a closure is mounted on the ceiling, which can be fixed at any other point. Suitable for this example, a clip that is firmly sewn in one place and is clamped elsewhere on a fold of the ceiling or on an edge of the ceiling.

If the ceiling is made of a carrier fabric in which fibers are looped, a very elegant closure is the hook tape of a hook and loop fastener, for which the entire surface of the blanket can be used as a counterpart, as a so-called "loop tape". This allows the closure to be attached to any point on the surface, which is helpful not only for use as a cloak, but also in many other applications of the blanket, such as the packaging of objects, as a support for objects or persons, as a warming covering of seated ones or lying people, to the formation of support in the care of injured, such as as a roll or as a folded pile under the calf to raise an injured leg. These formed from the ceiling body can be secured with the Velcro in shape.

When the blanket is used as a handler and the pillow as an emergency head cover, the pillow preferably protrudes from the user's back of the head onto his shoulders and touches the blanket there. In order to hold the emergency head cover even in stormy weather and to provide additional protection against penetrating wind, it is advantageous to connect blanket and cushions in this configuration. For this purpose, either a ceiling clamp attached to the ceiling or a handle disposed on the inside of the cushion can be used, which engages in a corresponding counterpart of the ceiling or can be simply looped as a hook tape a hook and loop fastener on the ceiling, if this has loop-like woven fibers on the diameter of the hooks of the hook tape are matched to the pillow.

It may also be advantageous for other applications if the pad is fixed on the blanket, e.g. when storing a casualty on the ceiling with the use of the pillow as a pillow.

A further advantageous combination of all three elements of the carwarming heat pad according to the invention, when the vest is made of waterproof material to put it in the unfolded state on the ceiling, so as to prevent the ingress of blood, sweat or other excretions of an injured person in the ceiling and thereby prevent sticking to the ceiling and / or deterioration of the thermal insulation.

On a wet surface, the waterproof vest can also be used underneath the blanket to block moisture from entering the blanket from below. Another possibility is to cover an injured person with the vest, wherein the vest is draped so that the light-reflecting material mounted thereon from the side is visible. This creates additional protection of the injured by the daytime through the Color and at night by the light reflection is made aware of him.

If the ceiling is multi-layered, a layer can be torn at an edge in an emergency and lifted from the underlying layer. As a result, the blanket can be formed into a sleeping bag with which an injured person can be covered both from below and from above.

When a multi-layered blanket is torn open on only a single edge, it serves as a container with which e.g. can be accommodated to sheltering, smaller objects, such. belongings of an accident victim or objects to be removed from an accident site Broken glass and / or sharp-edged plastic fragments.

A further use of a carwarming heat pad according to the invention is to attach the cushion and / or the vest and / or the blanket to the outside of a vehicle which is used for the emergency transport of an injured person, but can not be identified from outside as a patient transport vehicle. In this case, one e.g. between the side window and the door frame trapped ceiling or vest as a fluttering flag with the attached message of a warning triangle or the words "accident" in other road users, the understanding of a very rapid movement of this emergency transport.

In the following, further details and features of the invention should be explained in more detail by way of examples.

The figures show in detail:

In FIG. 1 is shown in three-dimensional perspective view of a cushion 1, which is half open. The illustrated example has on the left side of the pad 1 a padding, which is formed by the introduction of elastic filling material 12 under the outer skin 11. On the right side of the pad, the side wall 10 of the bag 16 is shown, which is laterally bulged in its lower part by the inserted cover 3 and is folded down in its upper part to the side. As a result, it can be seen that a flat strip 4 is fastened to the inner side of the side wall 10 along the upper edge by a textile strip being placed on its rear part and sewn to the side wall 10.

In FIG. 1 is by a double, dashed line on the inside of the side wall 10 of the pocket 16 that area characterized, which is folded down to use the flat strip 4. In FIG. 1 is understandable that after the folding away of this area, the front end of the flat strip 4 projects freely into the room and can be used, while the rear, already surrounded by a thin strip of fabric part of the flat strip is further enhanced by the fact that the side wall 10 of Pillow 1 is wrapped around the back area and thus forms a voluminous and padded handle, which allows a safe grab without risk of injury:

At the front end of the flat strip 4, the emergency hammer cone 41 can be seen. It is intended above all for shattering glass panes in the event that the vehicle occupants no other escape route remains out of an accident vehicle.

Behind the mouth opening 42 is visible. It serves as an intermediate piece in case of emergency mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In FIG. 1 will be understood that the flat strip 4 is also held for this use with the wrapped area and positioned on the mouth of an injured. Then, the respirator must place his mouth on the area around the mouth opening 42 and so can give the breath donor, without coming into direct contact with the blood or saliva of the injured.

At the outer edge of the flat strip 4, the saw blade 43 can be seen. It is used in an emergency to cut the safety belt, if the lock is not accessible, but can also be used for cutting trim parts, cables, textiles, branches or other foreign bodies, which block the escape route of an injured person. Of course, using this tool in other cases is also possible and efficient.

In FIG. 1 at the rear edge of the side wall 10, a carrying handle 15 is located, which is suitable as a handle for carrying the bag when the bag is closed and which can serve in other uses to connect this surface with other parts. Thus, the handle shown here can be used, for example, when setting up the partially open cushion that should act as a warning triangle or as a text board. Another use of the handle, when using the pad as emergency headwear, is to attach the over-the-head portion of the sidewall 10 behind the user's head to the outer surface of the pad 1.

The third component of the carwarm heat pad is in FIG. 1 to see the vest 2, which is already half inserted into the pocket 16.

In FIG. 2 is drawn in perspective the ceiling 3, which is unfolded and serves as a support for an injured person, who has already been brought here in a stable lateral position. The pillow 1 is used to support the head and the vest 2 draped over it to cover the body. It is spread over the injured person in such a way that the light reflecting materials 5 attached to it are visible on both sides of the injured person, thus making it clear even in the dark, that a human is lying on the ground here.

In FIG. 3 is the simultaneous use of vest 2, blanket 3 and pillow 1 shown as thermal protection for emergencies. Shown is a person who has pulled the vest 2. Above the vest 2, she additionally uses the blanket 3 as a cloak, by wrapping the blanket 3 around shoulders and body and, in this example, is closed by two blankets 31.

On the head, the use of the pad 1 is shown as emergency head cover. It can be seen how a side wall 10 of the pocket 16 is folded over a corner of the pad 1 away on the other outside and is there connected to the (not drawn from the perspective view) hood holder 14 on the outside of the pad. By this folding of the side wall 10, the triangular pocket 18 is formed, which is placed on the head of the person. As a result, the larger part of the pad 1 projects beyond the back of the person's head to the back. The attached on the inside of the flat strip 4 is visible on the left side of the pad, as in FIG. 1 shown on a larger scale - an emergency hammer cone 41, a mouth opening 42 and a saw blade 43 has. In the illustrated use of the flat strip 4 serves as a weight that pulls the headgear down and thereby secures against the blowing away of gusts.

In FIG. 3 the vest pocket 21 placed on the vest 2 can be seen. It becomes plausible that it is very well positioned and therefore suitable for storing and providing important auxiliary material.

FIG. 4 shows the use of the cushion 1 as a warning triangle 19 with matching setup. In the three-dimensional representation, a warning triangle 19 is applied to the forward-facing outer skin 11 of the pad, which is surrounded by light-reflecting material 5. In FIG. 4 It is clear how the side wall 10 of the bag 16 is folded down a little and how the attached to the edge of this side wall carrying handle 15 is hooked with a corresponding counterpart to fix the folded side wall at a certain angle, in this position as a support for the front Outer skin 11 is used.

In FIG. 4 is easy to understand that the carrying handle 15 touches the ground and therefore by an object stored thereon, such as the vehicle tool, a stone or broken vehicle parts can be complained and thereby protect the established warning triangle against tipping over or blowing away by wind.

In the in FIG. 4 illustrated configuration is visible that the attached to the inside of the side wall 10 flat strip 4 can serve with the additional saw blade 43 as a stiffener.

In FIG. 5 it is shown how the outer skin 11 of the pad 1 and / or the blanket 3 can be converted in an emergency by systematic tearing to a long strip of bandage material. For this purpose, the predetermined tear lines 17 starting from two opposite edges are marked. They are each at the same distance A to each other and extend across the area to close to the opposite Edge up. From this edge they are removed by the distance A / 2. All desired tear lines 17, which emanate from an edge, form a comb-like structure. In this comb-like structure has a second outgoing from the other edge, similar structure in which is offset by the distance A / 2. This creates a meander-like structure around the edges of this meandering structure around an additional reinforcement is applied. It prevents in particular that at the ends of the predetermined tear lines 17, the crack does not run unintentionally further into the textile material.

In FIG. 5 It will be understood how, in an emergency, the rectangular surface of the blanket 3 or the outer skin 11 of the pad is formed by tearing along the three tear lines 17 from the left side and tearing along the four tear lines 17 from the right side to a very long and narrow strip , Although he has wrinkles at the kinks, but then to be overcome, when urgently a dressing is needed, such as for the breastfeeding of violent bleeding.
