Benefits of technology

[0006] The invention provides a kit for the construction of a seeping bag, and other soft articles such as pillows and cushions. In the preferred embodiment the sleeping bag can be conveniently folded or otherwise reconfigured into a blanket or into a compact configuration which can be conveniently stored or transported.
[0008] In one preferred embodiment, the ties are formed from the same fabric as the panel and can be different colours or multi-coloured, allowing the user to exercise artistic creativity when the sleeping bag is assembled. Further, the panel may be decorated with any desired colours, patterns, designs and / or indicia.

Problems solved by technology

A sleeping bag is useful at such parties, because the host often does not have enough beds for all the guests.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 shows a sleeping bag 10 constructed from a kit according to the invention. A fabric panel 12, shown in its fully unfolded configuration in FIG. 2, includes a plurality of complementary apertures 13 distributed along two opposed side edges 14a, 14b and along a bottom edge 16 which intersects the two side edges 14a, 14b. Apertures 13 are preferably also distributed along the bottom edge 16 generally symmetrically about the centre of the panel 12, and in the preferred embodiment the apertures 13 are spaced apart generally evenly. The apertures 13 extend along a substantial length of each side edge 14a, 14b, but do not need to extend fully along the side edges 14a, 14b.

[0015] A series of ties 20 are provided with the kit of the invention. The ties 20 may be of similar or different lengths, and are sized to fit through the apertures 13 through the panel 12. The ties may be cut from fabric similar to the fabric of the panel 12, or may be cut or otherwise produced from any ot...

Abstract

A sleeping bag kit comprising a fabric panel for folding into a sleeping bag. The panel provides apertures, or in another embodiment markings designating positions for forming apertures, through which ties are disposed to maintain the sleeping bag configuration. The fabric panel may be compactly configured by folding the panel multiple times and tying the edges together to form a pillow or cushion.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Conventionally, sleeping bags have a limited use: a pouch to keep the body insulated and warm. A typical sleeping bag thus comprises a rectangular insulated fabric panel which is folded in half, the periphery being fastened for example by a zipper. [0003] Sleepover or “slumber” parties are a popular pastime amongst children and teenagers. A sleepover party provides a social setting for a number of partygoers over a long period of time, which is conducive to social activities such as games and art.

Moreover, having all guests sleeping in a single room can increase the fun of a sleepover party, and the use of sleeping bags as opposed to beds or o...
