Application filed June 15, 1912. Serial 1%. 703,846.
To all whom it may concern:
Be KIlOWIl that l, GEORGE a citizen of he United a resi dent of Baltimore, State Maryland, have invented a new'and Improved Sleepingliag, of which the following is a full, clear, and tract description.
Th object of my invention is to provide an absolutely waterproof sleeping bag designed particularly for out door use, as by campers.
A further object of my invention is to provide particularly for preventing the entrance of water at the head or the a l further object is provide bag in which, while efiectively excluding water from the head of the bag, provision will be made for proper ventilation.
The invention also has for its objects to improve the bag invarious particulars, to the end that the occupant may enter therein conveniently, and whereby blankets may be held in proper position within bag, and whereby also, a mosquito net-tin may be conveniently attached at the head portion in a way to perfectly exclude-insects.
The invention will be particularly explained in the specific description hereinafter to be given.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part or" this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sleeping bag embodying my invention, showing the same staked to the ground and in the position as in use; Fig. 2 is a plan view with parts broken away, and showing aportion of a mosquito netting applied to the bag; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the foot end of the bag, with parts broken out; and Fig. at is a longitudinal section of the bag, indicating an occupant therein. a
in forming a sleeping bag in accordance with my invention, a bottom is provided of suitable fabric, and a cover 11, which is united permanently to the bottom 10 at the foot 12 and alongone side 13. Along the opposite side of the bag, means is provided for detachably uniting the top or cover 11 to the bottom 10; ordinary mating snap fasteners, or ball and socket fasteners being employed in practice, as indicated at 1d. The detachable fasteners 14 secure the cover 11 at a point inward from the side edge 15 r Y n AIL, a l.
of said cover, and the said top extends at said side beyond the adjacent side edge of the bottom 10, whereby to provide a protecting flap beyond the line of detachable fastening means to insure that no rain can enter at the said edge. The bag opens endwise at the head and at said head the-cover 11 is provided with a longitudinally extending flap 16, that projects a distance beyond the bottom 10, as clearly shown in Fig. i, and beyond the open end of. the bag, to provide a protector overlying the head of the occupant. in connection with the longitudinal flap 16, side flaps extend laterally beyond the body of the bag, and said flaps l? are free from the bottom 10. At the outer corners of the flaps 17, eyes 19 are produced, in which loops 20 may be secured, adapted to engage over stakes or pins 21 to be driven into the ground, for holding down said side flaps 17. At the approximate center of the main head flap 16 an eyelet or equivalent member 22 is provided, which may engage over the tapered'upper end of a prop 23, the lower end or" which is driven or sunk into the ground. lhe arrangement is such that the prop 23 holds the central portion of the overlying flap 16 raised, while the loops and pins 20, 21, or their equivalent, pin the ends of the side flaps to the ground. llhus air may circulate beneath the several edges of the side flap 17 and beneath the main flap 16, while at the same time the said head r'laps afford-a complete protection against the rain.
in connection with the head flap i may employ a tape 24, secured at one edge, as at 25, by a row of stitching. She tape extends inward from the edges of the flaps 16 and 17 and approximately parallel with said edges, and preferably to points 26 rearward of the described head flaps. A mosquito netting 27 may thus be conveniently pinned or sewed, if desired, to the free edge of the tape 24 and be disposed around the head of the bag in a way to elicctively exclude mosquitos and other insects.
The detachable fasteners 14 terminate.
short of the transverse outer edge of the flap 16 so as to leave the head flaps free, except as they are held by the prop 23 and pins 21. The foot of the bag may be secured by stakes or pins 28, that are driven through corner loops 29, which are shown as socured to eyes 30 formed in the top or cover 11.
To provide for a proper securing of the blanket within the bag, blanket-attaching means are provided at the interior, as best shown in Fig. 3. The blanket-fastening means may consist of loops 31 fastened to the bag and snap hooks 32 or their equivalents to engage respectively with the said loops 31 and with the corners of ablanket 83. The bag having been pinned at the foot and properly disposed on the ground, the user may secure one side flap 17 by the pins or pegs 21, and turn back the opposite side flap, to enter, after which the main flap 16 may be engaged with the prop 23, and the occupant may reach out and engage the loops 20 of the remaining flap 17 with the pins 21. It is even possible to enter the bag without discomfort by disengaging one outer corner of a flap 17 from its peg 21. The preferred arrangement of the described flaps gives the cover a cruciform shape.
By my invention convenience and comfort are insured, a proper circulation of air is provided around the head, while preventing the possibility of rain getting to the occupant.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. A sleeping bag comprising a bottom and a top or cover united at the sides and foot, the bag being open endwise at the head and said cover having an extension in the form of a head flap beyond the bottom of the bag, the said flap being disposed in the direction of length of the bag beyond the and opening thereof and having means at its outer transverse edge whereby to engage a prop, and means at its whereby to hold the same down beyond the body of the bag.
