Three-section blanket set

Abstract

A three-panel blanket set is described in which any two panels are releasably attachable to form a complete blanket. The first panel has a first insulation value and a first fastener section on its lower surface extending along the right side edge. The second panel has a second insulation value, a second fastener section on the upper surface extending along the left side edge, and a third fastener section on the lower surface extending along the right side edge. The third panel with a third insulation value has a fourth fastener section on the upper surface extending along the left side edge. The panel insulation values are different from each other. The first fastener section is releasably attachable to the second fastener section or to the fourth fastener section, and the fourth fastener section is releasably attachable to the first fastener section or to the third fastener section.

Claims

1. A three-panel blanket set, any two panels being releasably attachable to form a blanket, each panel having a length equal to the length of the blanket, a width approximately equal to one-half the width of the blanket, opposed first and second surfaces, opposed top and bottom edges, and opposed first and second side edges, said set comprising: a) a first panel with a first insulation value and a first fastener section on the second surface of said panel extending along said second side edge;b) a second panel with a second insulation value, a second fastener section on the first surface of said panel extending along said first side edge, and a third fastener section on the second surface of said panel extending along said second side edge; andc) a third panel with a third insulation value and a fourth fastener section on the first surface of said panel extending along said first side edge, said first, second and third insulation values being different from each other, said first fastener section being releasably attachable to said second fastener section or to said fourth fastener section, and said fourth fastener section being releasably attachable to said first fastener section or to said third fastener section.

2. The set of claim 1, wherein said first and second surfaces are upper and lower surfaces, and said first and second side edges are left and right side edges.

3. The set of claim 1, wherein the edges of said panels overlap when two fastener sections are attached to conceal said fastener sections.

4. The set of claim 1, wherein the fastener sections on the second panel are covered by flaps of blanket material.

5. The set of claim 1, wherein said second panel has a greater insulation value than said first panel and said third panel has a greater insulation value than said second panel.

6. The set of claim 1, wherein each of said panels includes indicia along its top or bottom edge showing the relative insulation value of the panel.

7. The set of claim 1, wherein each fastener section is spaced approximately one-inch from a side edge of the blanket panel to which the fastener section is attached.

8. The set of claim 1, wherein said first and third fastener sections are different from said second and fourth fastener sections.

9. A three-panel blanket set, any two panels being releasably attachable to form a blanket, each panel having a length equal to the length of the blanket, a width approximately equal to one-half the width of the blanket, opposed first and second surfaces, opposed top and bottom edges, and opposed first and second side edges, said set comprising: a) a first panel with a light insulation value relative to the insulation values of the other two panels and a first zipper section on the second surface of said panel extending along said second side edge;b) a second panel with medium insulation value relative to the insulation values of the other two panels, a second zipper section on the first surface of said panel extending along said first side edge, and a third zipper section on the second surface of said panel extending along said second side edge; andc) a third panel with heavy insulation value relative to the insulation values of the other two panels, and a fourth zipper section on the first surface of said panel extending along said first side edge, said first and third zipper section including sliders and tabs, and said second and fourth zipper sections being without sliders and tabs.

10. The set of claim 9, wherein said first and second surfaces are upper and lower surfaces, and said first and second side edges are left and right side edges.

11. The set of claim 9, wherein the edges of said panels overlap when two fastener sections are attached to conceal said fastener sections.

12. The set of claim 9, wherein each of said panels includes indicia to identify the relative insulation value of the panel.

13. The set of claim 9, wherein each zipper section is spaced approximately one-inch from a side edge of the blanket panel to which the fastener section is attached.

14. The set of claim 9, wherein two of the panels are side panels with only one fastener section, and one panel is a center panel with two fastener sections, the fastener sections of said center panel being covered by flaps of blanket material.

15. A blanket formed of two releasably attachable blanket panels, said blanket comprising: a) a first blanket panel having upper and lower surfaces and a first inner edge, and a first fastener section attached to the lower surface of said first panel adjacent said first inner edge, said first fastener section being comprised of an elongated hollow cylinder with a longitudinal slit and a web having one edge attached to said cylinder opposite said slit and an opposed edge attached to said first panel; andb) a second blanket panel having upper and lower surfaces and a second inner edge, and a second fastener section attached to the upper surface of said second panel adjacent said second inner edge, said second fastener section being comprised of an elongated rod insertable into said hollow cylinder, and a web having one edge attached to said rod and an opposed edge attached to said second panel.

16. The blanket of claim 15, wherein said two panels are part of a three panel set.

17. The blanket of claim 15, wherein the inner edges of said panels overlap to conceal said fastener sections.

18. The blanket of claim 15, wherein each of said panels includes indicia to identify the relative insulation value of the panel.

19. The blanket of claim 15, wherein each fastener section is spaced approximately one-inch from the inner edge of the blanket panel to which the fastener section is attached.

20. The blanket of claim 15, wherein the panels each have only one fastener section.
