Abstract
A sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress includes outer and inner shells, an inflatable tube grid, insulation, and means for selectively inflating the tube grid. Both the outer and inner shells have inner and outer surfaces, and each defines an opening. The inner shell's outer surfaces are positioned adjacent the outer shell's inner surfaces, and the inner shell's opening is aligned adjacent the outer shell's opening. The tube grid defines a plurality of grid cavities and is sandwiched between the outer and inner shells. Insulation is positioned in the grid cavities and sandwiched between the outer and inner shells. When the tube grid is inflated, the user may enter the sleeping bag through the inner shell's opening. To pack the sleeping bag, the tube grid is deflated, causing the tube grid and insulation to shift from an expanded to a compressed configuration, taking up a minimal amount of space.
Description
- This invention relates generally to a sleeping bag. In particular, the present invention relates to a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress.
- Camping and hiking are currently enjoying a surge in popularity. However, people now have enhanced expectations of comfort and convenience while camping, and a large demand exists for products providing this comfort and convenience. Further, there are many different ways in which people like to camp. Some carry their equipment to remote places and require light and easily packed equipment, while others camp alongside their vehicles and primarily require comfort. While a tradeoff between ultra-comfort and ultra-light construction has previously seemed inevitable in sleeping bag design, the current invention provides more comfort in a lightweight sleeping bag.
- Two primary considerations for comfort are the sleeping bag's ability to retain heat and the sleeping bag's ability to firmly support the user, even though the sleeping bag may be placed on uneven ground. While air mattresses have been found to support the user well, regardless of imperfections in the ground, the large air pockets currently used allow convective currents to form, robbing heat from the mattress. Foam, goose down, synthetic fibers, and other insulation are merely a means to hold small pockets of air. If an air mattress can be made with small pockets of air instead of large pockets, convective currents will not be able to form and the air mattress will retain more heat.
- Various proposals for sleeping bags that incorporate air mattresses are found in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 3,887,092 discloses a self-inflatable air mattress and sleeping bag that traps air inside an airtight jacket filled with foam. Means are included to manually increase the air pressure inside the foam-filled jacket.
- Many sleeping bag devices have been suggested that use a plurality of parallel and longitudinally extended elongate air compartments along with various improvements over the prior art. Such devices may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,996,733, U.S. Pat. No. 5,528,779, U.S. Pat. No. 5,553,339, U.S. Pat. No. 5,740,565, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,974,608.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,640,725 discloses a sleeping bag with removable components, including an air mattress.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,321,400 discloses an air mattress sleeping bag that includes a self-contained powered air inflation device. The air mattress sleeping bag is capable of converting to a full air mattress when not in use as a sleeping bag.
- While assumably effective for their intended purposes, none of the above proposals provide an air mattress that can effectively retain heat by reducing large air pockets, provides a comfortable place to sleep, is lightweight and not bulky, and can be easily packed. Instead, the above proposals use air mattresses with large air pockets or completely filled with foam.
- Therefore, it is desirable to have a sleeping bag with an air mattress that effectively retains heat, is comfortable, is lightweight and compact, can be easily packed, is convenient to use, and does not require an excessive volume of air.
- A sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress according to the present invention includes an outer shell, an inner shell, an inflatable tube grid, insulation, and means for selectively imparting a stream of air to the inflatable tube grid (air input means). The outer shell has inner and outer surfaces and defines an opening, and the inner shell has inner and outer surfaces and defines an opening. The outer surfaces of the inner shell are positioned adjacent the inner surfaces of the outer shell, and the opening defined by the inner shell is aligned adjacent the opening defined by the outer shell. The inflatable tube grid defines a plurality of grid cavities and is sandwiched between the outer and inner shells. Insulation is positioned in the grid cavities. Additional insulation may be sandwiched between the outer and inner shells.
- In use, the sleeping bag with integrated air mattress is placed where its user wants to sleep, and the air input means are used to impart a stream of air to the inflatable tube grid, thus inflating the inflatable tube grid. When the inflatable tube grid is inflated, the insulation positioned in the grid cavities is stretched to an expanded configuration. The user may then enter the sleeping bag with integrated air mattress through the opening defined by the inner shell. When the user is ready to pack up the sleeping bag with integrated air mattress, the inflatable tube grid is deflated, causing the inflatable tube grid and the insulation positioned in the grid cavities to shift to a compressed configuration. The sleeping bag with integrated air mattress may then be easily packed, taking up a minimal amount of space.
- Therefore, a general object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress that effectively retains heat.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress, as aforesaid, that is comfortable to use.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress, as aforesaid, that is lightweight and compact.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress, as aforesaid, that can be easily packed for transport or storage.
- A further object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress, as aforesaid, that is convenient to use.
- A still further object of this invention is to provide a sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress, as aforesaid, that does not require an excessive volume of air.
- Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein is set forth by way of illustration and example, embodiments of this invention.

FIG. 4 b is a perspective view of the sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress as inFIG. 1 with a foot pump. - A sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to
FIGS. 1 through 4 b of the accompanying drawings. More particularly, a sleeping bag with anintegrated air mattress 100 includes anouter shell 110, aninner shell 120, aninflatable tube grid 130,insulation inflatable tube grid 130. - The
outer shell 110 has top andbottom portions opening 119. Thetop portion 112 has inner andouter surfaces bottom portion 116 has inner andouter surfaces - The
inner shell 120 has top andbottom portions bottom portion 126 of theinner shell 120 may also be referred to as theinner sheet 126. Thefirst end 121 defines anopening 129. Thetop portion 122 has inner andouter surfaces bottom portion 126 has inner andouter surfaces outer surface 124 of the innershell top portion 122 is positioned adjacent theinner surface 113 of the outershell top portion 112, and theouter surface 128 of the innershell bottom portion 126 is positioned adjacent theinner surface 117 of the outershell bottom portion 116. Theopening 129 defined by theinner shell 120 is aligned adjacent theopening 119 defined by theouter shell 110. - The
inflatable tube grid 130 is a network ofinflatable tubes 132 arranged in a grid pattern and defines a plurality of grid cavities 134 (FIG. 1 ). The design of theinflatable tube grid 130 eliminates convection currents that can form in large air pockets and requires less volume of air to inflate than conventional air mattresses. Further, as long as the network ofinflatable tubes 132 are not too far apart, theinflatable tube grid 130 provides support that is at least as good as conventional air mattresses. Theinflatable tube grid 130 is sandwiched between theinner surface 117 of the outershell bottom portion 116 and theouter surface 128 of the inner shell bottom portion 126 (FIG. 2 c). -
Insulation 140 is positioned in the grid cavities 134 (FIGS. 3 a and 3 b). Theinsulation 140 is more effective than its thickness may indicate. In ordinary sleeping bags, the material directly underneath the user is compressed and loses much of its insulative value. With the current sleeping bag with anintegrated air mattress 100, however, all of the user's weight is carried by theinflatable tube grid 130. Since theinsulation 140 is not compressed, it is highly effective. -
Insulation 142 is sandwiched between theinner surface 117 of the outershell bottom portion 116 and theouter surface 128 of the innershell bottom portion 126 and may also be referred to as bottom insulation.Additional insulation 142 is also sandwiched between theinner surface 113 of the outershell top portion 112 and theouter surface 124 of the innershell top portion 122 and may also be referred to as top insulation (FIGS. 2 b and 2 c). - The means 150 for selectively imparting a stream of air to the
inflatable tube grid 130 for inflating theinflatable tube grid 130 are very diverse. A hand pump 151 (FIG. 1 ), a foot pump 152 (FIG. 4 b), or a compressor 153 (FIG. 4 a) may be operatively connected to theinflatable tube grid 130. Further, a valve may be incorporated into theinflatable tube grid 130 that allows a user to inflate theinflatable tube grid 130 manually. Of course, other air input devices would also be suitable, and the air input devices may be interchangeable. - Means are also provided for selectively releasing air from the
inflatable tube grid 130 for deflating theinflatable tube grid 130. A simple air escape valve or release valve may be used, or the air input means 150 may also function as a vacuum, drawing the air out of theinflatable tube grid 130. - In use, the sleeping bag with
integrated air mattress 100 is placed where its user wants to sleep, and the air input means 150 are used to impart a stream of air to theinflatable tube grid 130, thus inflating theinflatable tube grid 130. When theinflatable tube grid 130 is inflated, theinsulation 140 is stretched to an expanded configuration (FIG. 3 a). The user may then enter the sleeping bag withintegrated air mattress 100 through theopening 129 defined by theinner shell 120. It is understood that heat is efficiently retained by theinflatable tubes 132 which reduce the size of pockets of air. When the user is ready to pack up the sleeping bag withintegrated air mattress 100, theinflatable tube grid 130 is deflated as described above, causing theinflatable tube grid 130 and theinsulation 140 to shift to a compressed configuration (FIG. 3 b). The sleeping bag withintegrated air mattress 100 may then be easily packed, taking up a minimal amount of space. - A sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress (not shown) according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a construction substantially similar to the construction previously described except as specifically noted below. More particularly, the sleeping bag with an integrated air mattress according to this embodiment includes a zipper for selectively attaching the
top portions inner shells bottom potions inner shells - It is understood that while certain forms of this invention have been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims and allowable functional equivalents thereof.
