31, 1939. H. KUPPI ERBLATT 2 CONVERTIBLE ROBE Filed Aug. 1'7, 1937 ATTORN F 'Y Patented Jan. 31, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application August 17,
1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a convertible robe.
The invention has for an object the construction of a robe which may be converted into a combination blanket and pillow.
More specifically, it is proposed to construct a robe to have a right and a left front panel connected at their outer edges with a back panel, and means for releasably connecting the top edges of the front panels and the back panel for forming the shoulder portions of the robe. Thus, when the top edges are released it is possible to open the robe into a flat sheet which then may be used as a blanket.
Furthermore, the invention contemplates the provision of sleeves for the robe constructed in a conventional manner, and which sleeves will be disposed merely against the sides of the material which form the robe when the robe is opened into a blanket.
Another one of the objects of this invention is to provide the robe with a collar adapted to be converted into a pillow. More specifically, it is proposed to make the collar of double layer material and to have a side opening in the collar to receive a pillow so that the collar then acts as a pillowcase.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a ma terial part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a convertible robe constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary rear elevational view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an inside elevational view of the robe converted into a blanket and pillow.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of a portion of Fig. 3 illustrating the interior of a pillow construction.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 66 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 7 is an elevational view of the robe opened Fig. 8 is a plan view of the closed robe.
The convertible robe, according to this invention, comprises a right front panel I 0, a left panel ii, and a back panel l2. The front panels are connected with the back panel along their side 1937, Serial No. 159,449
edges. The front panels are adapted to overlap and the overlapping portions are capable of being held closed by the provision of buttons and button holes IS. The front panels and the rear panel are releasably connected along their top 5 edges from the points M to the points l5 forming shoulder portions for the robe. The releasable connection is accomplished by the use of standard hook fasteners it such as zipper fasteners.
The robe is provided with sleeves I! at the sides. 10 The inner edges of the front panels are bent at their top portions to form lapels i8 for the robe.
A double material collar IQ for the robe is attached upon the neck edge of the back panel and has an opening 20 along one side for receiving 15 a pillow 2|. Then the double layer collar acts as a pillow case for the pillow.
The open side 20 of the collar is closed with several snap fasteners 22. The collar is much wider than the central area. by which it is attached 20 and the edge projecting portions are provided with fastener elements 23 cooperative with fastening elements 23 arranged along the edges of the lapels I8. These fasteners serve to secure the collar to the lapels when the robe is being used 25 as a robe.
The pillow 2| preferably should comprise an air-proof envelope which may be inflated. It is then possible, if desired, to normally carry the pillow in a deflated condition within the collar. 0 The pillow is removable from the collar. There are a pair of tabs 25 mounted within the collar and secured at their inner edges upon the material of the neckband of the robe. These tabs are provided with fastening elements 26 and are 35 engageable with complementary fastening elements on tab portions 21 extending from one edge of the pillow. When the fastening elements 26 are engaged with each other the pillow is held within the collar. 0
In Fig. 1 the dot and dash lines of the collar and pillow indicate the collar as it would appear in a lowered position. The pillow 2| is provided with a tube 2| through which it may be inflated. The details of the inflatable pillow will 45 not be given in this specification as they form no part of the invention. A conventional valve must be provided to maintain the air within the pillow.
The robe may be worn at beaches and other places. When desired it may be worn ordinarily 50 and when desired the shoulder portions may be opened and the robe stretched out to the form shown in Fig. 3. Persons may then recline on the robe and use the sides for covering purposes.
It is to be understood that this garment may be 5 of any size, design and form, such as in the form of a cape, coat, etc. Also that it may be made of any suitable material. The various parts of the garment may be held together by slide fasteners, snap fasteners, buttons, etc.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what 'I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:-
In a device of the class described, a piece of fiat substantially rectangular cloth material adapted when folded to form one side of a garment, a sleeve mounted in one end of said mabe jointed together to close one end of said material to form a shoulder for said garment and said second-mentioned fastening elements may beclosed to .hold said collar in a position extended across said first-mentioned fastening elements to hide them from view.
