Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a blanket, particularly to a blanket that can be converted into a neck pillow and a shawl.
  • 2. Description of Prior Art
  • Currently, a blanket, a shawl and a neck pillow are three completely unrelated daily necessities. While going out, one may need to take these three items separately. However, it is unlikely to use these three items at the same time. Therefore, in many cases, one or two items of these may be redundant.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is a convertible blanket, which can be interchangeable to a blanket, a shawl or a neck pillow, hence easy to carry about and use.
  • According to the invention, a convertible blanket comprises a body provided on at least one end thereof with a bound pocket, at least one of the bound pockets being provided with an opening; a surface inside the bound pocket with the opening is provided on one end with a connecting portion, and on the other end with a connecting fastener detachably connected to this connecting portion; the bound pocket with the opening can be turned outward and form a bag body, which is wound from the other end of the body to the end of the bag body to form a flexible cylinder that can be put into the bag body.
  • Advantageously, the body is provided at both ends thereof with bound pockets, wherein one of the bound pockets is provided at its end with an opening; the bound pocket with the opening can be turned outward and form a bag body, the body begins to be wound from the other end of the body to the end of the bound pocket with the opening to form a flexible cylinder that can be put into the bag body; the connecting portion and the connecting fastener are located on the outer surface of the bag body and, after combination of them both, the cylinder inside the bag body is converted into an arc-shaped accommodating portion.
  • Advantageously, the blanket is provided at both ends thereof with bound pockets, at one end thereof being provided with an opening; this bound pocket with the opening is turned outward and forms a bag body, which can be used for accommodating the cylinder formed by winding from the other end of the body, with the plug connector and the plug fastener combined to form a neck pillow; or the body is directly folded several times before being converted into a shawl. Compared with the prior art, the blanket is versatile and easy to carry about and use.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the body converted into a neck pillow in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the body converted into a neck shawl in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • As shown in FIG. 1, a convertible blanket includes a body 1. The body 1 is provided at both ends thereof with bound pockets 100. One of the bound pockets 100 is provided at its end with an opening 100 a. The bound pocket 100 with the opening 100 a can be turned outward and form a bag body 2. The body 1 begins to be wound from the bound pocket 100 at the other end thereof to the end which is provided with the bound pocket 100 with the opening 100 a to form a flexible cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 can be put into the bag body 2. Then the plug connector 4 and the plug buckle 5, being disposed on the inner surface of the bound pocket, are located on the outer surface of the bag body 2. As the plug connector 4 and the plug buckle 5 are engaged with each other, the cylinder 3 inside the bag body 2 is converted into an arc-shaped accommodating portion 6. The arc-shaped accommodating portion 6 is adapted to be used as a neck pillow. As the plug connector 4 and the plug buckle 5 are conventional connecting structures, they can be replaced by mechanisms such as buttons and zippers.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the body 1, after being folded several times, can be formed into and used as a shawl.
  • Although the present invention is described through examples, one should know that the present invention has many alternations and variations without departing from the concept of the present invention.
