Description
June 23, 1931. L. A. HUMMEL' INFANTS BLANKET Filed March 26, 1930 Patented June 23, 1931 PATENT cri ics Louise. HUMMEL, or MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN INFANT'TS BLANKET AppIication filed March as, 1930. Serial No. 439,075.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in infants blankets. One of the objects of my invention is the provision of'an infants blanket so constructt ed that the blanket can be readily wrapped about a child with sufficient length to entirely cover the childs feet, and to eliminate the danger of them becoming uncovered during the time the child is sleeping, and whereby 10 the blanket cannot become easily displaced from its enfolded position around the child.
Another object of my invention is the provision of an infants blanket which, while adapted for use as a sleeping bag or blanket 1 3, can be easily converted to provide a b-athrobe or kimono for the child, by simply folding up the lower edge of the blanket on to the body of the same, to a proper height which will permit free movement of the childs feet while walking; thus the blanket serves a dual purpose of a sleeping bag and a bathrobe.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an infants blanket of the above character which is so constructed thatit can be quickly and easily applied to a child so as to be entirely folded aroundthe child, and can be easily secured in position so that-the blanket will not become displaced from its set forth, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings where's:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a blanket constructed in accordance with my inven tion, illustrating the first step in applying the 45 blanket to a child;
Figure 2 is a similar View showing the blanket in applied position with the lower edge thereof turned up so that the device can be used as a bathrobe;
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a blanket provided with parallel side portions.
In carrying out my idea, the blanket may be provided with parallel side walls or with diverging side walls according to the desire of the user, and in Figures 1 and 2, I have illustrated the construction of a blanket wherein one end of the blanket is somewhatwider than the other end, the blanket in general beingindicated by the numeral'l.
In'the general construction of the blanket illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the larger end 2 is provided with a straight end and from the end 2 the side portions of the blanket converge to provide the upper or smaller end This upper end of'the blanket has a cut- (go out portion 4;, the intermediatepart of which is curved outwardly towardthe end of the blanket, as shown at 5, thus providingsubstantially V-chaped recesses or notched portions 6.
The blanket is preferably provided with a binding tape or whipped edges 7 which extend entirely around the blanket and around the edge of the cutout portion i, as well as the curved part 5. Binding 7 is an essential feature of blankets of this type to not only prevent the ravelling of the-edges ,of the blanket but to prevent the edges from weari-ng ofi as would be the case if it were not for this binding tape. j V 7 'It will be noted that-by constructing the blanket at its upper end in the manner described above, it providesthe tabs 8 which are used for securing the blanket in position when applied to the child. In applying the so blanket to a child for sleeping purposes, the 7 upper end ofthe blanket is applied as shown in Figure 1, with the notches 6 fitting into the arm pits, so that the outwardly curved portion 5 extends across thechest of the child.
The tabs 8 are then, extended across the back ofthe child, crossing each other, and then extended overthe shoulders, as shown in Figure2. -The ends'of the tabs 8 are crossed over the chestof the child, as shown in Fig- 99 ure 2, with a suitable fastening element adapt-- arately from the front portion of the blanket or connected together with a portion of the front of the blanket, to thus prevent any unfolding movement on the part of the blanket after it has been applied.
As stated heretofore, any suitable means can be provided for attaching the ends of the tabs 8 and in the present instance I have illustrated the use of a safety pin although any other means can be provided which will permit the fastening of the ends of the tabs 8 in various positions, due to the fact that in applying the blanket to children of different sizes, the extremities of the tabs will not always meet at the same point and, therefore, it is necessary that the fastening means be of a length as to provide for the securing of these tabs in diflerent relative positions.
When the blanket is to be used in the form of a sleeping bag, the lower and wider end 2 is allowed to remain in an extended position, as shown in Figure 1, it being understood that the blanket is considerably longer than the length of the child so as to assure the fact that the childs feet will be entirely enclosed within the blanket, during the time the child is sleeping. However, when it is desired to use the blanket as a bathrobe, or
the like, the lower end thereof can be folded or lapped onto the body of the blanket, as shown in Figure 2, this overlapped portion being varied according to the height of the child. From the above, it will be apparent that it is only necessary to fold back the outer end of the blanket a sufficient distance to permit free movement of the childs feet, while walking, and in order to retain the lower end of the blanket in a folded position any suitable fastening means can be used for connecting the end to the body of the blanket.
In F lgure 3, I have illustrated a form of the blanket, wherein the side portions are parallel with the upper end 3 provided with the cutout part t and having the intermediate portion of the cutout arcuately curved as at 5, to provide the notches 6. The cutout portion 4: provides the tabs 8 and the entire blanket is provided with a binding tape or whipped edge, as shown at 7 Either form of blanket may be used and in the form illustrated in Figure 3, the application of the blanket is the same as the form illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be apparent that I have provided an improved infants blanket which can be easily made into a sleeping bag or into a bathrobe, or the like, and can be quickly and easily applied to the child or removed therefrom and the blanket is of such construction that it can be applied to children of different ages.
I claim:
1. A. blanket of the class described including a body portion, a cutout portion at one end of the body, a curved part at the intermediate portion of the cutout providing notches between the junction of the side walls of the cut away and the curved part, tabs at each side of the cutout adapted to be arranged in crossed relation at the back of a child and extended over the shoulders with the terminals arranged in crossed relation over the chest, and means for securing the terminals against movement relative to each other and to the body.
2. A blanket including a body portion having a cutout at one end, an outwardly curved portion at the intermediate part of the cutout, a V-shaped recess at each end of the curved portion, and the side walls of said cutout part inclining outwardly toward the longitudinal edges of the body to form tabs having reduced outer end portions.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
LOUIS A. HUMMEL.
