Benefits of technology

The present invention concerns a sleeping bag with an upper panel and a bottom panel that form a hood to cover the user's head area. The bag has an elastic gusset interposed between the top and bottom panels to create an interior chamber containing the user. The upper panel, bottom panel, and elastic gusset may have multiple layers to contain an insulating fill. The bag has a zipper to open and close and a drawstring to secure the top panel around the user's body. A pillow may be integrated within the interior chamber and there may be pockets within the interior chamber or on the top and bottom panels. The elastic gusset may be adjusted to the user's body size. Overall, the sleeping bag offers comfortable and effective insulation for the user while still allowing for easy access and adjustability.

Problems solved by technology

With rectangular and mummy type sleeping bags, the fabric panels forming the bag are not resilient and can be confining.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.

[0025]Broadly, embodiments of the present invention provide an elastic gusset sleeping bag that is less constricting and provides mobility to a user contained within the sleeping bag.

[0026]As seen in reference to the drawings of FIGS. 1-7, the elastic gusset sleeping bag 10 is shown in a partially open condition. The elastic gusset sleeping bag 10 includes a top panel 16a, a bottom panel 16c, that are formed from an inelastic material, such as nylon, cotton, or the like. The top panel 16a and bottom panel 16c are formed as substantially mirrored halves generally conforming to a body shape of a user 24. The top panel 16a and the bottom panel 16c are joined about a peripheral side edge by an elastic gus...

Abstract

An elastic gusset sleeping bag that has an elastic gusset side panels to join a top and a bottom panel of the sleeping bag. The elastic gusset provides mobility and freedom of movement for a user contained with the sleeping bag. A vertical height of the elastic gusset is selected to define an interior chamber of the sleeping bag to accommodate various body sizes of a user. The elastic gusset permits the sleeping bag to accommodate various body types, while utilizing identically formed top and bottom panels to facilitate efficient manufacturing of the sleeping bag.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 63 / 053,999 filed Jul. 20, 2020, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to sleeping bags, and more particularly to “mummy” type sleeping bags.[0003]Sleeping bags provide a comfortable enclosure to keep the user warm while sleeping. With mummy type sleeping bags, the shape of the bag is generally a gradual taper that conforms more closely with the user's torso and legs than the conventional rectangular sleeping bag. With rectangular and mummy type sleeping bags, the fabric panels forming the bag are not resilient and can be confining. The closer fit of the mummy type bag can be more confining or constricting for some users, particularly when repositioning themselves to attain a comfortable sleep position.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for improved sleeping bag that is le...
