Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a quilt with sleeves, which has a pair of left and right sleeves at the top of the quilt. [Background technology]

[0002] In today's smartphone society, many people use their smartphones even after they go to bed. In this case, they hold the smartphone with both hands outside the futon, which makes it cold in cold seasons because their arms and shoulders are exposed. As a conventional technique to solve this problem, for example, the "wearable futon with sleeves (quilt with sleeves)" described in Non-Patent Document 1 is known. This quilt has a pair of left and right sleeves at the top, and a U-shaped cutout around the neck. When using this conventional product, the user would put their hands through both sleeves to keep their arms warm while using a smartphone. In addition, the user's neck was placed in the U-shaped cutout of the comforter to cover the neck and shoulders, preventing cold air from entering through gaps and improving heat retention.

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] [Retrieved November 5, 2024], Internet <URL;https: / / www.amazon.co.jp / %E3%81%8B%E3%81%84%E3%81%BE%E3%81%8D%E5%B8%83%E5%9B%A3-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%83%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B%E5%B8%83%E5%9B%A3-150x200cm-%E4%B8%B8%E6%B4%97%E3%81%84OK-%E5%AF%9D%E5%86%B7%E3%81%88%E5%AF%BE%E7%AD%96 / dp / B08MBX7XXK?th=1> Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in conventional quilts with sleeves, measures were taken to prevent the neck and shoulders from getting cold, and the neck area of ​​the quilt was cut out in a U-shape, so that the user's neck could be placed into this cutout to cover the neck and shoulders. However, for example, when turning over in one's sleep, a gap would appear between the U-shaped cutout and the neck area, allowing cold air from the room to seep into the futon.

[0005] As a result of extensive research, the inventor discovered that all of the above problems could be solved by providing a pair of left and right sleeves at the top of the duvet and attaching a neck wrap to the middle part of the length of the upper edge of the duvet, and thus completed this invention.

[0006] The present invention was developed in consideration of the problems inherent in the past, and aims to provide a comforter with sleeves that can keep the arms warm when taken out of the comforter to operate a smartphone, etc., and that is less likely to leave a gap between the comforter and the neck even if the wearer turns over in sleep. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 1 is a quilt with sleeves, which has a pair of left and right sleeves at the top of the quilt, and is characterized in that a neck wrap is attached to the middle part of the length of the upper edge of the quilt.

[0008] The size of the comforter is arbitrary. For example, it may be a single size (approximately 150 cm x 210 cm), a semi-double size (approximately 170 cm x 210 cm), a double size (approximately 190 cm x 210 cm), a queen size (210 cm x 210 cm), a king size (230 cm x 210 cm), etc. The material of the comforter is not limited. For example, a bag-shaped comforter fabric stuffed with cotton, wool, feathers, or other stuffing may be used.

[0009] The size of the sleeves is arbitrary, for example, 30 cm to 80 cm according to the length of the user's arm. The material of the sleeves is optional, for example they may be the same material as the comforter or they may not be. The size of the neck wrapper can be any length that allows it to be wrapped around the user's neck. The material of the neck wrap is also optional. For example, it may be the same material as the comforter and sleeves, or it may be a different material.

[0010] The invention described in claim 2 is the quilt with sleeves described in claim 1, characterized in that the neck wrapper has a length of 30 cm to 1 m and a width of 10 cm to 50 cm.

[0011] If the length of the neck wrapper is less than 30 cm, it is difficult for even a child to wrap the neck wrapper around the user's neck. If it exceeds 1 m, the neck wrapper is difficult to handle. The preferred length of the neck wrapper is 70 cm to 90 cm. If it is within this range, the neck wrapper can be wrapped around the neck of a child or an adult without being too long or too short.

[0012] If the width (height) of the neck wrapper is less than 10cm, the upper part of the neck of an adult user cannot be covered by the neck wrapper. If it exceeds 50cm, the width of the neck wrapper is too long and excessive slack occurs in the neck wrapper during use. The preferred width of the neck wrapper is 15cm to 30cm. Even adults can wrap the neck wrapper up to the chin, and children can use it without excessive slack.

[0013] The invention described in claim 3 is a sleeved duvet described in claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that both ends of the neck wrapper in the longitudinal direction are provided with fasteners for adjusting the wrapping length of the neck wrapper according to the length of the user's neck.

[0014] The type of fastener is arbitrary, and may be, for example, a hook or other fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like. Effect of the Invention

[0015] When going to sleep with the comforter with sleeves of this invention, the user puts his / her hands through the pair of sleeves arranged on the left and right sides of the comforter. This allows the user to keep their arms warm when, for example, they want to operate a smartphone before going to sleep. When sleeping, the neck wrap attached to the top edge of the comforter is wrapped around the user's neck. This prevents gaps from forming between the top edge of the comforter and the neck area even when the user turns over in their sleep. This prevents cold air from entering the comforter through these gaps.

[0016] In particular, according to the present invention described in claim 2, the neck wrapper has a length of 30cm to 1m and a width of 10cm to 50cm, making it suitable for neck lengths from children to adults.

[0017] According to the invention described in claim 3, although the length of the neck circumference of each user is different, when using the quilt with sleeves, the neck wrapper is wrapped around the neck and then the size of the neck is adjusted with the fastener. This allows the neck wrapper to fit the neck of the user, and as a result, the heat retention effect of the neck wrapper is improved. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sleeved quilt according to a first embodiment of the present invention in use. [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a quilt with sleeves according to a first embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 3] 1(a) is an explanatory diagram of how to use the neck wrapper that constitutes part of the quilt with sleeves according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and (b) is an explanatory diagram of how to use both sleeves of the quilt with sleeves. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the turning over state of the sleeved comforter according to the first embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] An embodiment of this invention will now be described in detail. EXAMPLES

[0020] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a comforter 10 with sleeves according to a first embodiment of the present invention has a pair of left and right sleeves 12 at the top of a comforter 11. Comforter 11 is 200 cm long and 180 cm wide, somewhere between a semi-double and a double, and is made of soft microfiber fabric stuffed with highly insulating aerogel fiber filling. Each sleeve 12 is a cylinder having a length of 53 cm and is made of the same material as the comforter 11.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 2, the feature of this comforter 11 is that a long neck wrapper 13 is sewn to the middle part of the upper edge of the comforter in the longitudinal direction. The neck wrapper 13 is a long, horizontal neck wrap measuring 75 cm in length and 22 cm in width, and is made of the same material as the comforter 11. In this way, the neck wrapper 13 is 80 cm long and 22 cm wide, so it can accommodate the different neck lengths of people from children to adults. Also, because the width of the neck wrapper 13 is 22 cm, it can cover the user's nose when in use.

[0022] The neck wrapper 13 is also provided with a hook-and-eye fastener 14 so that the wrapping length of the neck wrapper 13 can be adjusted according to the length of the user's neck. Specifically, a male hook 15 is fixed to one end of the length of the neck wrapper 13, while three female hooks 16 are fixed in a row at a specified interval to the other end of the length of the neck wrapper 13 so that the wrapping length of the neck wrapper 13 can be adjusted to three levels: 60 cm, 63 cm, and 66 cm.

[0023] Next, a method of using the comforter 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. As shown in Fig. 3(a), when going to bed, the user first wraps the neck wrapper 13 around his / her neck. At this time, the male hook 15 at one end of the neck wrapper 13 is hooked onto one of three female hooks 16 lined up in a row at the other end of the neck wrapper 13, depending on the length of the neck. This allows one neck wrapper 13 to fit around the neck of users of different builds, from adults to children (see also FIG. 1). As a result, the neck wrapper 13 can further increase the warmth-retaining effect on the user's neck.

[0024] Then, as shown in Fig. 3(b), the user passes his / her hands through a pair of left and right sleeves 12 arranged on the upper part of the duvet 11. This allows the user to keep his / her arms warm when operating the smartphone S before going to sleep, reading a book, etc. (see Fig. 1). In addition, when lying down on the bed to sleep, the neck wrapper 13 attached to the upper edge of the comforter 11 is wrapped around the user's neck, so even if the user turns over in their sleep, there is little chance of a gap forming between the upper end of the comforter 11 and the neck (see Figure 4). This makes it possible to prevent cold air from the room from entering the comforter 11 through this gap. Furthermore, the comforter 11 is a size between a semi-double and a double, measuring 200 cm in length and 180 cm in width, so it won't come undone even if you turn over in your sleep. Furthermore, when the user finishes using the smartphone S or the like and goes to sleep, the user may, for example, remove the neck wrapper 13 from around his or her neck and fold it over the upper edge of the duvet 11 to further warm the chest area. [Industrial Applicability]

[0025] This invention is useful as a technique for making a quilt with sleeves, which has a pair of left and right sleeves at the top of the quilt. [Explanation of symbols]
