COMPOSITE BLANKET SYSTEM

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a blanket, and more specifically to a composite blanket system that allows air passage through the blanket.

BACKGROUND

Blankets provide comfort, warmth, and a sense of security to a user. Sometimes, the user may wear the blanket to cover whole user body (including user head), which may create a layer of separation between the user and outside air. This may cause inconvenience to the user. Further, when the user breathes, the air exhaled by the user may get trapped inside the blanket, which may cause further discomfort to the user. In such a scenario, the user may sweat and may face difficulty in breathing. This may affect user's sleep when the user wears the blanket at nighttime. Lack of a restful night sleep may cause drowsiness to the user during daytime, and may result in additional health issues such as stress, anxiety, weight gain, etc.

In addition, lack of air circulation may cause health problems to the user when the user covers the whole body with the blanket. For example, the user may experience skin issues or breathing problems if the user breathes stale air for a long time duration. Thus, there is a need for a blanket that provides ventilation, while still allowing the user to cover the whole body with the blanket.

It is with respect to these and other considerations that the disclosure made herein is presented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Overview

The present disclosure is directed towards a composite blanket system (“blanket”) that may provide ventilation when a user covers whole user body with the blanket. The blanket may include top and bottom layers that may be made of fabric. The blanket may further include a middle layer that may be disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The middle layer may be made of mesh. The blanket may additionally include one or more cut-out patterns that may be disposed on the top layer and the bottom layer, which may enable the user to breathe comfortably (via the mesh) when the user covers user's face with the blanket.

In some aspects, the blanket may include two cut-out patterns (e.g., a first cut-out pattern and a second cut-out pattern). The first cut-out pattern and the second cut-out pattern may be disposed at different blanket surface locations. For example, the first cut-out pattern may be disposed in proximity to a blanket top edge, and the second cut-out pattern may be disposed in proximity to a blanket bottom edge. In some aspects, the first cut-out pattern may be disposed at a blanket top corner position (e.g., a top right corner), and the second cut-out pattern may be disposed at a blanket bottom corner position (e.g., a bottom left corner) to provide proper ventilation to the user when the user wears the blanket. In other aspects, the first cut-out pattern may be disposed at a blanket top center position, and the second cut-out pattern may be disposed at a blanket bottom center position. The first cut-out pattern may further enable the user to see through the middle layer (e.g., via the mesh).

In some aspects, the top layer and the bottom layer may be permanently attached to each other. In other aspects, the top layer and the bottom layer may be removably attached using an attachment mechanism such as hook and loop fasteners, snap buttons, zippers, and/or the like. In an exemplary aspect, edges of the top layer and the bottom layer may be attached using the attachment mechanism.

In further aspects, the blanket may include an internal pocket that may be attached to the top layer or the bottom layer. The internal pocket may enable the user to store small items such as flashlights, small toys, stationery items, etc. The user may access the internal pocket by detaching the top layer and the bottom layer by using the attachment mechanism.

The blanket may further include one or more straps that may be attached to a blanket edge (e.g., a blanket top edge). The straps may enable the user to wear the blanket as a costume (e.g., like a cape). In some aspects, the blanket may include two straps (e.g., a first strap and a second strap). The first strap and the second strap may include a sealing member that may enable the user to removably attach the first strap and the second strap around user's neck to wear the blanket as a cape.

The blanket may further include an integrated push-button body warmer (heating element) that may keep the user body warm. The integrated push-button body warmer may be battery operated. In some aspects, the integrated push-button body warmer may be placed in the internal pocket.

In further aspects, the blanket may include a bendable/flexible wire that may be disposed at blanket periphery/perimeter. The bendable wire may enable the user to mold the blanket in any desired shape. The bendable wire may hold its shape when the user bends the wire, thus enabling the user to mold the blanket into different shapes. For example, the bendable wire may enable the user to make a cave out of the blanket. The user may use the cave for reading, entertainment, etc.

The present disclosure discloses a blanket that may enable the user to wear the blanket comfortably. For example, the cut-out patterns in the blanket may enable the user to breathe conveniently when the user covers whole user body with the blanket. The cut-out patterns may further enable the user to see through, when the user covers user face with the blanket. In addition, the internal pocket may enable the user to store small items inside the blanket, and access the stored items conveniently.

These and other advantages of the present disclosure are provided in detail herein.

Illustrative Embodiments

The disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which example embodiments of the disclosure are shown, and not intended to be limiting.

FIG. 1 depicts an example environment 100 in which techniques and structures for providing the systems and methods disclosed herein may be implemented. The environment 100 may include a composite blanket system 105 (hereinafter referred to as a blanket 105), and a user 110 who may wear the blanket 105. The user 110 may be an infant, a kid, an adult, or an elderly person.

The blanket 105 may be of any size and shape that may vary based on user type and/or physiology. For example, the blanket 105 may be a twin blanket, a single blanket, a queen blanket, a king blanket, and/or the like. Further, the blanket 105 may have any color and/or design. In an exemplary aspect, the blanket 105 may be rectangular, as shown in FIG. 1. In other aspects, the blanket 105 may be of any other shape including, but not limited to square, circle, triangle, and/or the like.

The blanket 105 may include a top edge 115a, a bottom edge 115b, a left side edge 115c, and a right side edge 115d. A top edge 115a length may be same as or equivalent to a bottom edge 115b length. Further, a left side edge 115c length may be same as or equivalent to a right side edge 115d length. Each edge may be disposed perpendicularly relative to adjacent edges. For example, the top edge 115a length and the bottom edge 115b length may be in a range of 40-60 inches, and the left side edge 115c length and the right-side edge 115d length may be in a range of 70-90 inches. The dimensions described here are for illustrative purpose only, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure scope.

The blanket 105 may further include one or more cut-out patterns, e.g., a first cut-out pattern 120a and a second cut-out pattern 120b, disposed on blanket 105 surface (or fabric layers, as described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 2). The cut-out patterns may be of any shape, design and/or size. In some aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may have same or similar size and design as second cut-out pattern 120b size and design. In other aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may have a different size and/or design from the second cut-out pattern 120b size and/or design. In an exemplary aspect (as shown in FIG. 1), the first cut-out pattern 120a may be shaped as a face of a panda, and may include holes of different sizes and shapes such as ears, eyes, nose, etc. Similarly, the second cut-out pattern 120b may be shaped as the panda face. In other aspects, the first and second cut-out patterns 120a, 120b may be shaped as a superhero, an animal, a bird, a cartoon character, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed in proximity to the top edge 115a, and the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed in proximity to the bottom edge 115b. The first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may provide ventilation, and may enable the user 110 to breathe comfortably when the user 110 wears the blanket 105 over whole user body (as shown in FIG. 1).

In some aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed at a blanket top right corner (e.g., in proximity to the top edge 115a and the right side edge 115d). The second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed at a blanket bottom left corner (e.g., in proximity to the bottom edge 115b and the left side edge 115c). In other aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed at other locations within the blanket 105.

The first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed on the blanket 105 such that proper ventilation may be achieved when the user 110 wears the blanket 105 over whole user body. For example, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed 4-6 inches from the top edge 115a, and 4-6 inches from the right side edge 115d. Similarly, the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed 4-6 inches from the bottom edge 115b, and 4-6 inches from the left side edge 115c. In an exemplary aspect, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be 10-20 inches in length and width, and the second cut-out pattern 120b too may be 10-20 inches in length and width. The dimensions may vary based on blanket 105 size.

In further aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed at a blanket top center portion, which may enable the user 110 to see through the first cut-out pattern 120a. Similarly, the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed at a blanket bottom center portion.

A person ordinarily skilled in the art may appreciate that the blanket 105 may have only one cut-out pattern (e.g., either the first cut-out pattern 120a or the second cut-out pattern 120b), or may have more than two cut-out patterns. In addition, the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may include any pattern and may not be limited to the pattern described above. Further, the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed at any position and may not be limited to the positions described above.

Additional blanket 105 elements are described in detail in conjunction with subsequent figures.

FIG. 2 depicts an example composite blanket system 200 (hereinafter referred to as a blanket 200) in accordance with the present disclosure. The blanket 200 may be same as the blanket 105. The blanket 200 may include a plurality of layers disposed one over the other. For example, the blanket 200 may include a top layer 205, a bottom layer 210, and a middle layer 215 disposed between the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210.

In some aspects, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may have same or equivalent dimensions. For example, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may have same length and width. In an exemplary aspect, a top layer 205 length and a bottom layer 210 length may be in a range of 70-90 inches, and a top layer 205 width and a bottom layer 210 width may be in a range of 40-60 inches.

The top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be made of same or different materials. In a preferred aspect, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be made of fabric. For example, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be made of cotton, wool, silk, linen, rayon, polyester, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the middle layer 215 may be of equivalent dimensions as the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210. In other aspects, the middle layer 215 may have different dimensions. For example, length and width of the middle layer 215 may be less than lengths and widths of the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210. In some aspects, the length and width of the middle layer 215 may correspond to one or more cut-out patterns dimensions discussed in conjunction with FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, the middle layer 215 may include mesh. The mesh may be made of any material including, but not limited to, polyester, nylon, spandex, and/or the like. In addition, the mesh may be coarse mesh, normal mesh, or fine mesh.

The top layer 205, the bottom layer 210, and the middle layer 215 may be attached to each other, and may form a unified blanket 200 structure. For example, the top layer 205, the bottom layer 210, and the middle layer 215 may be sewed to each other at the periphery. In some aspects, the top layer 205, the bottom layer 210, and the middle layer 215 may be attached to each other using an adhesive and/or a fastener (e.g., hook and loop fastener).

As discussed in conjunction with FIG. 1, the blanket 200 may include one or more cut-out patterns. The cut-out patterns may include the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b. The first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed on both the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210. Stated another way, the top layer 205 may include the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b, and the bottom layer 210 too may include the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b. When the three layers (the top layer 205, the bottom layer 210, and the middle layer 215) are attached together, the mesh (middle layer 215) may be hidden between the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210, and the mesh may only be visible/exposed via the two cut-out patterns (i.e., the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b).

Such exposure of the mesh through the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b may provide various advantages. For example, the mesh may enable some amount of air to pass through the mesh so that air may be circulated when the user 110 wears the blanket 200 over user's face, while still maintaining blanket warmth (as the mesh may not allow all the outside air to enter the blanket 200). Stated another way, when the user 110 wears the blanket 200 over whole user body, the mesh may allow fresh air (e.g., oxygen) to pass from the top layer 205 towards the bottom layer 210, and vice versa. Similarly, the mesh may allow stale air (e.g., carbon dioxide) to pass from the bottom layer 210 towards the top layer 205, and vice versa. In this manner, the mesh may allow ventilation of air when the user 110 wears the blanket 200 over whole user body.

The first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b associated with the top layer 205 may be aligned with the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b associated with the bottom layer 210, thereby enabling passage of air via the middle layer 215 (via the mesh). For example, the first cut-out pattern 120a associated with the top layer 205 may be same as the first cut-out pattern 120a associated with the bottom layer 210, and may be disposed on a same position on the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210. In this manner, air may ventilate easily via the first cut-out pattern 120a (and the second cut-out pattern 120b) disposed at respective top and bottom layers 205, 210.

The first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed in proximity to a top layer 205 top edge and a bottom layer 210 top edge. Similarly, the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed in proximity to a top layer 205 bottom edge and a bottom layer 210 bottom edge. In some aspects, the first cut-out pattern 120a may be disposed in a top layer 205 corner portion (e.g., top right corner) and a bottom layer 210 corner portion (e.g., top right corner, aligned to the top layer 205 corner portion). Similarly, the second cut-out pattern 120b may be disposed in a top layer 205 corner portion (e.g., bottom left corner) and a bottom layer 210 corner portion (e.g., bottom left corner, aligned to the top layer 205 corner position).

In further aspects, the blanket 200 may include more than three layers (the top layer 205, the bottom layer 210, and the middle layer 215). In such scenario, the additional layer(s) may further include the first cut-out pattern 120a and the second cut-out pattern 120b, disposed at the same “aligned” locations. The additional layer(s) may also include foam, which may make the blanket 200 thick and deformable along a blanket thickness.

FIG. 3A depicts an example attachment mechanism 305 of a composite blanket system 300 (blanket 300), in accordance with the present disclosure. The blanket 300 may be same as the blanket 200 and the blanket 105.

In some aspects, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be removably attached to each other via the attachment mechanism 305. In an exemplary aspect, the attachment mechanism 305 may be a hook and loop fastener (or Velcro™). In other aspects, the attachment mechanism 305 may include a zipper, snap buttons, and/or the like. The attachment mechanism 305 may be disposed on a top layer 205 interior/inner surface and a bottom layer 210 interior/inner surface. In some aspects, the attachment mechanism 305 may be disposed along entire lengths of all edges (top, bottom, left, and right edges) of the top layer 205 interior surface and the bottom layer 210 interior surface. In other aspects, the attachment mechanism 305 may be disposed along one or more portions of lengths of all the edges of the top layer 205 interior/inner surface and the bottom layer 210 interior/inner surface.

The attachment mechanism 305 may enable the user 110 to change the top layer 205/bottom layer 210, and to customize the blanket 300. For example, if the top layer 205 and/or the bottom layer 210 get damaged or spoiled, the user 110 may easily replace damaged layer(s) with new layer(s) by using the attachment mechanism 305.

In additional aspects (not shown), the middle layer 215/the mesh too may be attached to the top layer 205 and/or the bottom layer 210 via additional attachment mechanisms, which may be same as the attachment mechanism 305. In this case, the user 110 may replace the middle layer 215, if the middle layer 215 gets damaged. In other aspects, the middle layer 215 may be sewed with the top layer 205 or the bottom layer 210, and the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be attached to each other via the attachment mechanism 305, as described above.

FIG. 3B depicts an example internal pocket 310 in a composite blanket system (e.g., the blanket 300) in accordance with the present disclosure. In the aspect depicted in FIG. 3B, the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be partially attached to each other via the attachment mechanism 305, and partially sewed with each other. For example, one or more corners of the top layer 205 and bottom layer 210 may be attached using the attachment mechanism 305, and remaining portions of the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 may be attached via another attachment mechanism (e.g., the remaining portions may be sewed to each other).

The internal pocket 310 may be disposed in a blanket 300 interior portion. In some aspects, the internal pocket 310 may be sewed to the top layer 205 interior/inner surface or the bottom layer 210 interior/inner surface. In other aspects, the internal pocket 310 may be removably attached to the top layer 205 interior/inner surface or the bottom layer 210 interior/inner surface. One or more or all edges of the internal pocket 310 may be attached to the top layer 205 interior surface or the bottom layer 210 interior surface.

The internal pocket 310 may be of different shapes, e.g., rectangular, square, oval, circular, etc. In an exemplary aspect depicted in FIG. 3B, the internal pocket 310 may be rectangular. Further, internal pocket 310 length and width may be based on blanket 300 dimensions. Furthermore, the internal pocket 310 may be aligned parallel to a blanket 300 edge (e.g., a left blanket 300 edge), or may be disposed at a predefined angle (e.g., 30 to 60 degrees) relative to the blanket 300 edge.

The internal pocket 310 may be made of fabric (e.g., of same material as the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210). Alternatively, the internal pocket 310 may be made of mesh (same material as the middle layer 215). Further, the internal pocket 310 may include one or more openings (not shown) that may enable the user 110 to access the internal pocket 310. The one or more openings may be sealable using a sealing mechanism (not shown). The sealing mechanism may include, but is not limited to, a zipper, a hook and loop fastener, a snap button, and/or the like.

The user 110 may use the attachment mechanism 305 to access the internal pocket 310. For example, the user 110 may detach the top layer 205 from the bottom layer 210 by using the attachment mechanism 305, and may access the internal pocket 310. The user 110 may use the internal pocket 310 to store small items such as flashlights, small toys, stationery items, and/or the like. Further, the user 110 may attach the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210 back by using the attachment mechanism 305, when the user 110 places the small items in the internal pocket 310. In additional aspects, the user 110 may close the openings of the internal pocket 310 before attaching back the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210. In this manner, the user 110 may secure the small items in the internal pocket 310.

A person ordinarily skilled in the art may appreciate that the attachment mechanism 305 may be located at any other position/pattern, and may not be limited to positions depicted in FIG. 3B. For example, the attachment mechanism 305 may be disposed on a top edge of the top layer 205 and the bottom layer 210, and the internal pocket 310 may be disposed in proximity to the top edge. FIG. 3B and the description above should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure scope.

FIG. 4 depicts one or more example straps 405 attached to a composite blanket system 400 (hereinafter referred to as a blanket 400) in accordance with the present disclosure. The blanket 400 may be same as the blanket 105, 200, 300.

The straps 405 may be disposed at a blanket 400 edge. For example, the straps 405 may be disposed at a blanket 400 top edge, as shown in FIG. 4. Specifically, the straps 405 may be disposed in proximity to a center portion of the blanket 400 top edge. The one or more straps 405 may be of any size and/or shape, and made of any material. For example, the straps 405 may be rectangular, 4 to 6 inches long, and may be made of flexible fabric such as nylon, polyester, latex, etc. In some aspects, the blanket 400 may include two straps 405, as shown in FIG. 4.

The straps 405 may enable the user 110 to convert the blanket 400 into a clothing item. For example, the user 110 may attach the straps 405 around user neck (e.g., the straps 405 may enclose the neck) and convert the blanket 400 into a costume, e.g., a cape, as shown in view 410. In this case, the straps 405 may include one or more fasteners 415a, 415b that may enable the user 110 to attach the straps 405 around the user neck. The fasteners 415a, 415b may be, for example, hook and loop fasteners, snap buttons, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the straps 405 may be sewed to the top layer 205 or the bottom layer 210. In other aspects, the straps 405 may be removably attached to the top layer 205 or the bottom layer 210. Further, the straps 405 may include a first end 420a and a second end 420b. The straps 405 may be attached to the blanket 400 top edge via the first end 420a, as shown in FIG. 4. In some aspects, the second end 420b may include the fasteners 415a, 415b.

FIGS. 5A and 5B depict an example wiring arrangement 505 in a composite blanket system 500 (hereinafter referred to as a blanket 500) in accordance with the present disclosure. The blanket 500 may be same as the blanket 105, 200, 30, 400.

The wiring arrangement 505 may be disposed at a blanket 500 periphery/perimeter, as shown in FIG. 5A. Specifically, the blanket 500 may include the wiring arrangement 505 in proximity to a blanket 500 top edge, a blanket 500 bottom edge, a blanket 500 left side edge, and a blanket 500 right side edge. The wiring arrangement 505 may include a bendable/flexible wire that may make the blanket 500 moldable and hold blanket's shape when the user 110 “deforms” the wiring arrangement 505. In some aspects, the wire may be made of iron, steel, copper, and/or similar metal.

In an exemplary aspect, the user 110 may “stretch” and straighten the wiring arrangement 505 to use the blanket 500 in the same configuration as described in conjunction with FIG. 1. Specifically, the user 110 may straighten the wiring arrangement 505, and may cover the whole user 110 body by using the blanket 500 as shown in FIG. 5A. In addition, the user 110 may “bend” the wiring arrangement 505 into different configurations to form different blanket 500 shapes. For example, the user 110 may bend the wiring arrangement 505 to form a cave out of the blanket 500, and may use the cave for reading, entertainment, etc., as shown in FIG. 5B.

In additional aspects, the blanket 500 may include an integrated push-button body warmer (e.g., a heating element, not shown) that may keep the user 110 body warm. For example, the integrated push-button body warmer may keep user warm when the user 110 wears the blanket 500. In this case, the integrated push-button body warmer may include a push button, and the user 110 may press the push button to turn on the integrated push-button body warmer. Similarly, the user may 100 may press the push button again to turn-off the integrated push-button body warmer.

The integrated push-button body warmer may be battery operated. In some aspects, the integrated push-button body warmer may be placed in the internal pocket 310 and may be sewed/threaded to the blanket 500, with a small opening to replace batteries.

A person ordinarily skilled in the art may appreciate that by integrating the body warmer with the blanket 500, user's comfort may be enhanced. For example, the user 110 may switch ON the body warmer to augment warmth produced by the blanket 500 in cold weather.

The present disclosure is not be limited to blankets, and may be used in other applications including, but not limited to, clothing (including full face hoodie, other clothes that may cover whole head), accessories (such as caps, face covers), and/or the like.

It is anticipated and intended that future developments will occur in the technologies discussed herein, and that the disclosed systems and methods will be incorporated into such future embodiments. In sum, it should be understood that the application is capable of modification and variation.

All terms used in the claims are intended to be given their ordinary meanings as understood by those knowledgeable in the technologies described herein unless an explicit indication to the contrary is made herein. In particular, use of the singular articles such as “a,” “the,” “said,” etc., should be read to recite one or more of the indicated elements unless a claim recites an explicit limitation to the contrary. Conditional language, such as, among others, “can,” “could,” “might,” or “may,” unless specifically stated otherwise, or otherwise understood within the context as used, is generally intended to convey that certain embodiments could include, while other embodiments may not include, certain features, elements, and/or steps. Thus, such conditional language is not generally intended to imply that features, elements, and/or steps are in any way required for one or more embodiments.
