UN TED STATES PATENT QFFIGE.
CHARLES K. PEVEY, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN C OVERLET$.
Specification forming partof Letters Patent No. 140,948, dated July 15, 1873 application filed June 18, 1873.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES K. PEVEY, of Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Coverlet for Beds; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of my invention sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it. i
The invention relates to a new method of forming bed comforters or coverlets, With special reference to a provisionfor increasing their warmth, decreasing theirweight, and lessening their cost. Qomforters, as ordinarily made, are composed simply of wadding orcotton- Wool enveloped in cotton cloth, the wadding being heldin position by stitches or fastenin gs passing through from one side to the opposite.
The filling or Waddin g is often made quite thick,
and such comforters are generally too heavy either for comfort or for health. In my invention I substitute for the cotton or wool wadding, in Whole or in part, a sheet or sheets of thin paper, preferably *crimped or corrugated, so that the comforter may be stretched without injuring the paper; and my invention consists in a bed comforter or coverlet thus made.
The drawing represents a bed-comforter embodying my improvement.
a and b denote'the opposite portions of the inclosing-cloth. Each of these portions may consist of a stuffed sack-like structure, and between the two is interposed the sheet or sheets of paper 0. As before remarked, this paper is preferably crimped, crinkled, or corrugated in eachdirection, or lengthwise and crosswise of the sheet, and the three parts are then connected by the knots or stitches d.
The ,paper being thus applied, the comforter may be freely handled, spread, stretched, turned, and folded without breakage of the paper. With the addition of the paper a very light comforter may be made without any stuff? ing, or with but very light wadding, possessing warmth equal to that imparted by ordinary thickly-stuifed and heavy comforters.
The paper may be rendered impervious to moisture by application of rubber or other suitable water-proofing material but for ordinary coverlets the specific construction described is the preferable one.
I claim A bed comforter or coverlet having the interposed paper applied, substantially as shown and described.- A o CHAS. K. PEVEY.
