Abstract
A multiple-entry/egress sleeping bag for adjustable body coverage includes a shell which defines an internal space. The shell defines a plurality of body segment access openings through the shell that permit a user to extend various body segments though the shell into or out of the internal space and thereby vary which body segment are covered and are within the internal space versus laying on top of the bag. Such body segment access openings are preferably defined at locations corresponding to the neck, chest, waist, knees, and ankles areas of the user. Means are provided for making the body segment access openings selectively sealable and unsealable.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to sleep products, and more particularly to sleeping bags.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Sleeping bags are used in a wide variety of wilderness applications, including rock and ice climbing, camping, backpacking, fishing, mountain climbing, etc. These activities are carried on throughout the year in a range of climatic regions and weather conditions. Outdoor enthusiasts who wish to use a sleeping bag in both warm and cold environments presently are required to purchase a separate sleeping bag designed for each environment. Purchasing multiple sleeping bags is costly to the user and takes up storage space in the user's home.
- It is desirable to have a single sleeping bag that may be used in both warm and cold conditions. Specifically, it would be desirable to provide a sleeping bag with a body cover portion that would allow the user to cover only the body segments that the user wishes to keep warm and use the rest as added padding below him or her.
- A multiple-entry/egress sleeping bag for adjustable body coverage is provided. In one embodiment, the sleeping bag includes an elongate shell defining an interior space sized and shaped to receive a user therein. The shell further defines at least a first body segment access opening through the shell sized and shaped to permit a user's selected body segment to be extended through said shell into or out of the interior space. Preferably, the shell has a plurality of such body segment access openings defined at locations corresponding to near one or more of the following areas of the user: the neck, chest, waist, knees, and ankles. To best accommodate the user, the body segment access openings extend substantially across the width of the shell at the locations where they are defined. In one embodiment, the shell is integrally formed and needs no zipper to open or close the shell to access the interior area.
- The sleeping bag preferably includes means for selectively sealing and unsealing the body segment access openings so that they may be closed off when not being used to extend a body segment into or out of the interior space. In one embodiment, such means for selectively sealing and unsealing said body segment access opening includes selectively engageable and disengeable hook and loop fastener strips.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, a sleep cover is provided sized and shaped to cover a user's body. The sleep cover preferably includes a plurality of body segment access openings sized, and shaped to permit a user's selected body segments access through said sleep cover to overly or underlie said covering. The access openings are preferably defined at locations corresponding to body areas of the user selected from the group of areas comprising: near the neck, near the chest, near the waist, near the knees, and near the ankles. The sleep cover may be used alone, may be attachable to a separate member to form a sleeping bag shell, or may be itself configurable into a sleeping bag shell.
- A method of using a sleep cover is also disclosed. The method includes providing a sleep cover sized and shaped to cover a user's body, wherein the sleep cover defines a plurality of body segment access opening through said sleep cover sized and shaped to permit a user's selected body segments access through the sleep cover to overly or underlie the sleep cover. The method further includes extending select body segments through at least one of the access openings so that at least a first body segment overlies the sleep cover and at least a second body segment underlies the sleep cover.
- A method of making a sleep system is also disclosed. The method includes providing a sleep cover sized and shaped to cover a user's body. The method further includes defining at least one body segment access opening through said cover sized and shaped to permit a user to extend a selected body segment through the opening to overly or underlie said cover a location corresponding to a body area of the user selected from the group of areas comprising: near the neck, near the chest, near the waist, near the knees, and near the ankles.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , asleeping bag 10 according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As in a conventional sleeping bag, thesleeping bag 10 is made with material that is configurable to form ashell 11. The shell has a first “head”end 12, a second “foot”end 14, afirst side 16, asecond side 18, alower portion 20 and anupper portion 22. The foot end, sides, and the upper and lower portions define an interior space (not numbered) configured to receive, cover, and enclose a user's body between upper andlower portions - In a conventional sleeping bag, the upper and
lower portions second end 14 and thesecond side 18, and sometimes alongfirst side 16 if the upper andlower portions lower portions end 12 in a conventional sleeping bag to permit the user to extend his body into the interior space. It will also be understood that a sleeping bag system may be provided with separate upper and lower portions that are attached together such as by a zipper. - In accordance with the present invention, a number of longitudinally spaced, laterally extending, body segment access openings 26 a-26 d are defined in the
upper portion 22 between thefirst end 12 and thesecond end 14. Theupper portion 22 will also be sometimes referred to herein as a sleep cover and also referred to as a member. The body segment access openings 26 are each sized, located and configured to permit the user to extend various body segments through the shell into or out of the interior sleeping space to thereby control which body segments are inside the interior space during sleep and which are kept on top of the bag for additional temperature control and comfort. “Body segments” herein refers to the entire body in a specific region and not just to an appendage in that region. For example, the “feet body segment” means both feet from substantially the ankles down, the “legs body segment” means both legs, from substantially the waist down to substantially the ankles, the “torso body segment” means the torso from substantially the neck to substantially the waist, and the “head body segment” means the head from the top of the head to substantially the neck. With the body segment access openings 26, it is not necessary to have a zipper along the outer periphery of the upper and lower portions to permit body segment access into the interior space, nor is it necessary to have the end opening 24 because the user can have body segment access to the interior space through the body segment access openings 26. - In contrast to the end opening 24 of a conventional sleeping bag, which is defined by the shell but is not an opening through the shell, the body segment access openings 26 are openings in and through the shell itself. Thus, unlike the end opening 24, which disappears when the upper and
lower portions shell 11 are unzippered and unfolded (and the interior space no longer defined), the body segment access openings 26 do not disappear when the bag is unfolded because they are defined in and through the shell. - In order to facilitate easily extending various body segments into or out of the interior compartment, the body segment access openings 26 are preferably longitudinally spaced apart and defined in locations corresponding generally to the user's ankle area, knee area, waist area, and chest area. The body segment access openings 26 also preferably extend substantially across the lateral dimension of
upper portion 22, i.e., more than three fourths the distance from thefirst side 16 to thesecond side 18. - For example, in a second (tapered)
sleeping bag 50 embodiment of the present invention, shown inFIG. 8 , each of the body segment access openings 66 a-e extend substantially across the lateral dimension of theupper portion 62 fromfirst side 56 tosecond side 58 at the location where each opening is defined. The body segment access opening 66 d spans substantially the lateral dimension of theupper portion 62 at the chest area so as to comfortably permit the user place his body segments up to his chest through the access opening into the interior space. Likewise, the bodysegment access openings upper portion 62 at the waist, knee, and ankle areas to permit the user to respectively place his body segments up to his waist, knees, or ankles comfortably into or out of the interior space of the bag. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 8 , theupper portion 62 defines an additional bodysegment access opening 66 e corresponding to the neck area of the user, and which is sized and configured to permit the user to place all his body segments below his neck area into the interior space. - With the addition of the body segment access openings 26, the user is now provided, in accordance with the present invention, with a multiple-entry/egress sleeping bag for adjustable body coverage. The plurality of body segment access openings permit the user to extend corresponding body segments into or out of the interior space and thereby vary which body segments are within the internal space versus laying on top of the bag.
- The user simply selects which body segments he wishes to have covered and uses the corresponding access opening to pass through the body segment that he wants covered into the interior space and the body segments that he wants to have uncovered out of the interior space. For example, if the user wants to be covered from his neck or chest down to his ankles but have his feet uncovered, then he simply opens the body segment access opening corresponding to his neck or chest and feet, slides his body into the interior space through the neck or chest opening, and has his feet exit the interior space through the ankle opening.
- With the selective use of the corresponding body segment access openings, for example, the user can cover just his feet, just his feet and legs, just his feet, legs and chest, his entire body all the way up to his neck, or everything but his feet. Moreover, any region of the
upper portion 22 that is not being used to cover a body segment may be used in conjunction with thelower portion 20 for added padding beneath the user's back. Extra padding may even be provided beneath the head by the upper portion if the sleeping bag is of sufficient length. - In
FIG. 2 , for example, the user is shown in covering only his feet body segment by placing his feet into the interior space of thebag 10 through access opening 26 d. Similarly, the user is shown inFIG. 3 as covering his leg and feet body segments by placing his body from the waist down into the interior space through body segment access opening 26 b. InFIG. 4 , the user is shown covering his torso and legs body segments by placing the same into the interior space through body segment access opening 26 a and having his feet body segment uncovered by exiting his feet from the interior space through body segment access opening 26 d. -
FIG. 2 , the user has the extra padding from his ankles to his head that is provided by theupper portion 22 beneath him in the region betweenend 12 and body segment access opening 26 d. Likewise, inFIG. 3 , the user has the extra padding from his waist to his head that is provided by theupper portion 22 beneath him in the region betweenend 12 and body segment access opening 26 b. Similarly, inFIG. 4 , the user has the extra padding from his chest to his head that is provided by theupper portion 22 beneath him in the region betweenend 12 and body segment access opening 26 a. - In
FIG. 8 , the user is shown configuring himself in the sleepingbag 50 of the present invention to have his torso body segment covered by placing the same into the interior space through access opening 66 e, having his leg body segment uncovered by exiting the interior space through access opening 66 b, and having his feet body segment covered by placing his feet into the interior space through body segment access opening 66 d. Theupper portion 62 in the region between body segment access opening 58 e andfirst end 52, as well as between access openings 58 b and 58 d, provides added padding beneath the user. - So that any body segment access opening that is not being used to permit a body segment entry to or egress from the interior space may be closed off, means 28 for selectively sealing and unsealing each of the body segment access openings 26 is also provided. While any suitable means for selectively sealing and unsealing the access opening may be used, preferably, such means is comfortable to the user, easy to use, and durable. Some present examples of such means include selectively engageable and disengeable (1) hook and loop fastener strips, (2) opposite polarity flexible magnetic strips, or (3) flexible soft rubber zipper strips.
- In
FIGS. 5-7 , means 28 for selectively sealing and unsealing a body segment access opening is provided with overlapping and selectively engageable and disengeable strips of hook andloop fasteners hook fastener strip 30 is affixed, such as by sewing, to anextension strip 34 that is itself affixed to or integral with theupper portion 22 “A” side. - The
extension strip 34 may be made of the same material as theupper portion 22 or may be made of a different sufficiently durable material such as nylon. Theloop fastener strip 32 is shown affixed directly to theupper portion 22 on the “B” side in a location that will permit thehook fastener strip 30 to engage theloop fastener strip 32 when the access opening is sealed. It is understood that the loop fastener strip could also be attached in a different manner to the upper portion “B” side, such as by also being affixed to its own extension. - A
cover strip 36 is affixed, such as by sewing, to theupper portion 22 “A” side adjacent to theextension 34. When the hook and loop fastener strips 30, 32 are engaged, as shown inFIGS. 5 and 7 , thecover strip 36 is pushed out of the way. - As best shown in
FIG. 7 , when the hook and loop fastener strips 30, 32 are disengaged to unseal a body segment access opening, thecover strip 36 covers thehook fastener 30 strip so that it does not engage theloop fastener strip 32 or the user's clothing. Thecover strip 36 may be made of any suitable material that can itself grip to the hook fasteners, or further include small spaced apart swatches 38 of loop fasteners attached thereto that engage thehook fastener strip 30 so that the cover strip may securely cover the hook fastener strip. The hook and loop fastener strip material is selected so as to form a secure seal that will not come unsealed during the sleep yet having a reasonable break away tension so that the user need not struggle to unseal the body segment access opening when desired. - Alternatively, the hook and loop fastener strips may be replaced with other suitable means to selectively seal and unseal the access opening such as flexible magnetic strips of opposite polarity. The flexible magnetic strips may be affixed to the upper portion in the same manner as the hook and loop fastener strips shown in
FIG. 5-7 to selectively engage and disengage and thereby seal and unseal a body segment access opening 26. Alternatively, the magnetic strip substituting for the loop fastener strip may be affixed to an inside surface of the upper portion, rather than on an outer surface. Again, the magnetic strength of magnetic strips should provide secure sealing without undue breakaway tension. - Soft rubber zipper strips may alternatively be used instead of hook and loop fastener strips or flexible magnetic strips to provide means for selectively sealing and unsealing a body segment access opening. Under this scenario, for example, a closed end coil nylon zipper arrangement, with the engageable teeth strips affixed to the “A” and “B” side can be used.
- As in a conventional sleeping bag, a sleeping bag of the present invention may be made of any suitable material such as fabric or nylon as just two examples. Moreover, the material making up any portion of the bag need not be the same as the material making up any other portion. It will be understood, for example, that the material making up the
bottom surface portion 20 may be softer, more padded or more breathable than the material making up theupper portion 22, which may be more waterproof. - It will be understood that a sleeping bag of the present invention using the can be adapted for domestic use. In such an embodiment, the material forming the
portions portions upper portion 22 over thelower portion 20. - It is contemplated that, where not required, the
lower portion 20 may be eliminated entirely and theupper portion 22 used alone as a sleep cover. In such an embodiment, it will be understood that no peripheral zipper or other means for attaching to thelower portion 20 is necessary. Thus, blankets and comforters can be outfitted with body segment access openings to permit the user to decide how which body segments underlie the sleep cover and which overlie the sleep cover, in the same manner as the user would decide how much of his body and which body segments to cover in a full sleeping bag of the present invention. - To manufacture a sleep cover in accordance with the present invention, all that is necessary is to provide the sleep cover sized to cover a user's body and to define one or more body segment access openings in said sleep cover corresponding to body segments of the user's body that the user may wish to have overlie or underlie the covering, as show above in connection with the upper portion of a sleeping bag.
- It will be understood that in the practice of the present invention, the user need not actually sleeping to enjoy the benefits of the present invention but may enjoy the body temperature control provided thereby while awake.
