Abstract
A sleeping apparatus has a collapsible base that assumes a deployed position and a collapsed position where the base has a smaller size than in the deployed configuration, and a sleeping mat that is removably attached to the top panel of the base.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a portable sleeping assembly, and in particular, to a bed assembly which can be disassembled for convenient storage and transportation.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Conventional beds are rather bulky and heavy, and are therefore difficult to move around. However, in today's society, people are constantly moving around, and the need for portable bedding is greater than ever.
- One conventional type of portable bedding is the sleeping bag. Sleeping bags can be rolled or folded up, thereby making them easy to pack, store and carry around. Sleeping bags are also very easy to set up for use. Unfortunately, sleeping bags are not very comfortable because the user is essentially sleeping directly on the ground, and most conventional sleeping bags do not provide enough padding so that the user will inevitably feel the ground as he/she is sleeping in the sleeping bag. Conventional mats are similar to sleeping bags and suffer from similar drawbacks.
- Another conventional type of portable bedding is an inflatable mattress. Inflatable mattresses come close to providing the comfort and environment of a traditional bed as they elevate the user from the ground while providing a comfortable yet sufficiently firm sleeping surface. However, inflatable mattresses are not as convenient to use. They must be inflated for use, and then deflated for storage. Unless the user has access to a pump, the inflation and deflation of an inflatable mattress can be very time-consuming.
- Thus, there still remains a need for portable bedding that is comfortable for the user, yet is easy to install and disassemble for storage.
- The present invention provides a sleeping apparatus that has a collapsible base that assumes a deployed position and a collapsed position where the base has a smaller size than in the deployed configuration, and a sleeping mat that is removably attached to the top panel of the base.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable sleeping assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the collapsible base of the assembly ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is perspective view of the sleeping bag of the assembly ofFIG. 1 . -
FIGS. 4-5 illustrate how the collapsible base ofFIG. 2 can be collapsed for storage. -
FIGS. 6-8 illustrate portable assemblies according to other embodiments of the present invention. - The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 , the present invention provides aportable sleeping assembly 10 which includes acollapsible base 12 and asleeping bag 14 that can be removably attached to thebase 12. - The
collapsible base 12 has atop panel 20 that can be made of a fabric. A collapsible frame system is provided below thetop panel 20 to support thetop panel 20 above the ground. The frame system also functions to allow theentire base 12 to be collapsed into a smaller size and shape for storage. The frame system can be any known collapsible frame system, but in the present embodiment, can include a plurality ofstruts 22 that are connected to each other athinges 24. Thestruts 22 are adapted to be folded or pivoted at the locations of thehinges 24. Fourvertical struts base 12 function as legs for supporting thetop panel 20 at a raised or suspended position with respect to the ground. Thetop panel 20 can be secured to the top of the frame system. As shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , the frame system can be folded and collapsed by pivoting thestruts 22 about thehinges 24 to fold the frame system into a small and compact arrangement. Since thetop panel 20 is made of a fabric, it can be folded and tucked into the spaces between therespective struts 22. - The
sleeping bag 14 can be any conventional sleeping bag or mat piece, but according to one embodiment of the present invention, thesleeping bag 14 can be embodied in the form of the sleeping bag described in connection with FIG. 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,557,192, whose entire disclosure is incorporated by this reference as though set forth fully herein. In particular, the sleeping bag has a generally rectangularouter layer 42 that is made of a suitable water-resistant sheet material, and a co-extensive inner rectangular layer orliner 44 that is preferably of a nappy material such as flannel. The outer andinner layers layers Zipper slides vertical centerline 46, so that when the bag panel is folded along the centerline, the zipper slides 36, 38 may be joined together by a zipper slider to form the sleeping bag shown inFIG. 1 . Access to the interior of thesleeping bag 14 can be through theopen head 48 of thebag 14. The bottom of thesleeping bag 14 can be provided with removable attachment mechanisms (e.g., VELCRO™ pads 60) that can be removably attached to removable attachment mechanisms (e.g., VELCRO™ pads 62) provided on the top surface of thetop panel 20. - As an alternative, the
sleeping bag 14 can be an inflatable sleeping bag which can be inflated via inflation ports 50. - In use, the
sleeping bag 14 can be folded together, or rolled up, to reduce its size and shape. Thebase 12 can be folded and collapsed by pivoting thestruts 22 about thehinges 24 to fold the frame system into a small and compact arrangement, as shown inFIGS. 4-5 . The collapsedbag 14 andbase 12 are lightweight, and can be conveniently stored in a small storage space. Theportable sleeping assembly 10 can be deployed by extending and unfolding thebase 12 until it assumes the configuration shown inFIG. 2 . Next, thesleeping bag 14 can be unfolded, and then secured to thetop panel 20, and theportable sleeping assembly 10 would be ready for use. Thesleeping bag 14 is raised from the ground by thebase 12, thereby providing the user with a more comfortable sleeping surface. In addition, by providing thesleeping bag 14 to be removable from thebase 12, thesleeping bag 14 can be washed, or even replaced with anothersleeping bag 14. - The principles of the present invention can be extended to non-sleep applications.
FIG. 6-8 illustrate thefoldable base 12 being used to support game surfaces.FIG. 6 illustrates thebase 12 being used to support a generally flat or planar game surface 80 that can be made of fabric or foldable cardboard, and having electronic touch pads 82 and aspeaker 84 provided thereon.FIG. 7 illustrates thebase 12 being used to support a generally flat or planar game surface 86 that has been angled with respect to thetop panel 20 of thebase 12, and having adetachable backboard 88 that supports a net 90.FIG. 8 illustrates thebase 12 being used to support a generally flat or planarping pong surface 90 that can be made of cardboard or a hard material. All thesurfaces 80, 86 and 90 can be made of any appropriate material that facilitates the desired activity while being convenient to fold or reduce in size. Thesurface 80, 86, 90 can be removably attached to thebase panel 20 in the same manner as described above inFIGS. 1-3 . - While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. The accompanying claims are intended to cover such modifications as would fall within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
