Description

"A DEVICE FOR AN OVERNIGHT STAY IN THE OPEN OR IN A TENT OR IN A COMFORTLESS PLACE, THAT MAY BE REDUCED FOR TRANSPORT AND STORING"
The present invention concerns a device for an overnight stay in the open or in a tent or in a comfortless place, that may be reduced for transport and for storing, comprising incorporated means for the placing on possibly uneven grounds and for the realization of comfortable supports for sleepers, protected from cold ad other.
It is well known that the conventional sleeping-bags, used for excursions and holidays in a tent or in the open, have the disadvantage that they can not cover possible uneavennesses of the resting ground while, if they are placed onto a camp bed or on beds, they might slide away, which is very uncomfortable.
It is the aim of the present invention to realize a device which, in a single compact that may be arranged for the installation at the moment of use, and that may be reduced to minimum encumbrance for transport and storing, solves ail above mentioned inconveniences and needs.
The aim set forth is obtained by means of the device according to the present invention, for an overnight stay in the open or in a tent or in a comfortless place, that may be reduced for transport and for storing, consisting of:
- a base and resting structure that may be folded and/or rolled up;
- an inflatable structure that may be realized, in production, linked along the edge to said base structure, and that forms the sleeping mattress;
- a containing and covering structure, wadded like the sleeping-bags, and that may be connected by means of zips or similar to the compact consisting of above described structures, and in turn comprising opening and closing zips or similar along all its edges or in some parts thereof which, furthermore, also acting as a container for collecting all other reduced components for transport and storing.
The advantages of the device according to the present invention are evident: the user may instal it very quickly, obtaining a comfortable and functional means for sleeping on any surface and in any atmospheric condition, and then disassemble it and place it back in one single encumbrance.
The device according to the present invention will be described more in detail hereinbelow relating to the enclosed drawings, in which an embodiment is shown.
Figure 1 shows an axonometric transparent view of a device for the overnight stay in the open or in a tent or in a comfort- less place, that may be reduced for transport and storing, in its using condition.
Figure 2 shows a section of the succession of the linked elements and of those that may be connected according to the needs.
Figure 3 shows an eventual reduction to a minimum encumbrance for transport and storing.
The enclosed figures show a device for overnight stay in the open or in a tent or in a comfortless place, that may be reduced for transport and storing, comprising:
- a resting plane 1 on the ground out of plastic material or similar, preferably realized in more resistant portions 2, connected by folding connections 3 with a minimum encumbrance;
- an inflatable mattress 4, linked in realization along the outer circumference 5 to said plane 1 , so as to obtain a compact;
- a containing and covering element, consisting of a lower wadded structure 6 that may be conected, by means of circumferential zips 7, to the correspondant zips provided on the outer edge of said mattress 4, and by means of further zips 8 to the upper covering element 9, so as to realize a bag-like structure that may be opened and closed from any side for allowing the user to sleep on uneaven grounds being protected underneath by said plane 1 , with a soft support consisting of said mattress 4, and covered by said elements 6,9.
In possible variants of the device according to the present invention, besides the valve 10 for inflating said mattress 4, the presence of a valve 1 2 is provided onto an additional inflatable element 1 1 , having the function of a cushion and that may be in turn applied to the end of said mattress 4 by zips, adhesives or similar, according to the needs.
