EP0594798B1 - Down coverings capable of being assembled and disassembled into different parts - Google Patents

Abstract

A down covering is subdivided in individual longitudinal or transverse webs (2). The longitudinal webs (2) are detachably linked to each other along their longitudinal edges (6) by means of fastening devices (3) such as zippers, snap fasteners, laces, buttons and button holes or closers of the touch-and-close type. The seams (4) may be insulated with insulating flaps or beads (5) which completely overlap the seams (4). The insulating flaps or beads (5) may be filled with insulating material (11), in the same way as the webs (2). Different insulating materials (11) may be used, such as down, feathers, natural fibres or synthetic materials. A down covering having any desired combination of longitudinal or transverse webs (2) with different heat insulating strengths may thus be playfully assembled.

Description

The invention relates to a duvet cover according to the preamble of Claim 1.

An ideal duvet blanket should have the following characteristics:

To ensure optimal hygiene in bed, it would be desirable if the duvet cover easily in a household washing machine could be washed. This is particularly important for People who are allergic to dust mites. By Regular washing can cause the allergy-causing particles (Allergens) are eliminated. The conventional duvet blankets are too big to be washed in a household washing machine to be able to. For cleaning, they must be in an appropriate manner equipped laundry.

An ideal duvet blanket must meet changing needs have the size and thermal insulation adjusted.

For example, it would be very convenient to have a large duvet cover a double bed if necessary in two smaller duvet covers could split up a single bed or if you could enlarge a small duvet cover of a single bed could use them for a queen bed leaves. The conventional duvet blankets cannot go without further ado be enlarged or reduced.

It would also be desirable if duvet covers for double beds or French beds the thermal insulation strength adapted to the individual needs of each individual sleeper could be. Not all people are equally sensitive to cold.

There is therefore often a need for thermal insulation strength a duvet cover on the side of one sleeper smaller or bigger than on the side of the other sleeper.

Conventional duvet covers have the entire surface equal insulation strength. Individual needs of the sleepers cannot be taken into account. In a double bed is therefore often at least one of the two sleeper temperatures exposed that he finds uncomfortable.

In addition, the thermal insulation strength of a duvet blanket also adapted to the seasonal temperature differences can be. For the winter, a duvet cover should be one high thermal insulation strength, one for spring and autumn medium heat insulation and low for summer Have thermal insulation strength. The thermal insulation strength more conventional Duvet covers cannot be changed. That means but that one for each of the three temperature periods Your own duvet cover needs to always have an optimal temperature in bed to be able to achieve.

One was therefore looking for a duvet cover, which in can be washed in an ordinary household machine, their size can be changed and their thermal insulation strength address the individual needs of each Lets sleepers adjust. According to the current state of the art there are the following solutions:

Various duvet blankets have been proposed, some of which the insulation thickness can be changed, but which neither washed in a household washing machine nor in the Size can be changed.

In the patent FR 2 458 257 (publication date June 5. 1979), for example, a duvet cover was proposed, which is composed of several individual blankets, which one on the other placed and fastened together. This allows change the heat insulation thickness, all other problems but remain unsolved. Similar solutions with the same disadvantages have also been disclosed in US 4903 361 (publication date 02/27/1990) and GB 2211 731 (publication date July 12, 1989).

Subject of the invention in the patent EP 0127 912 (publication date 24.10.1984) is a duvet cover made of put together at least two connectable single duvets is. The heat insulation strength can be thereby Tailor double beds to the needs of the individual sleeper. Single-person duvets are too big to be used in household washing machines to be able to be washed. This duvet cover has also the disadvantage that the edges on which the Single duvets are connected, overlap and this creates thick, uncomfortable beads.

Another solution has been disclosed in GB 2176 998 (publication date January 14, 1987). In that invention it is a double blanket, which at least has a slot which extends in the longitudinal direction of the ceiling from the ceiling edge at the head towards the ceiling edge at the Feet extends. The slot is with a locking mechanism Mistake. If necessary, the slot can be opened and part of the Blanket can be folded to the side. Even with this blanket you can the thermal insulation strength to the individual needs the sleeper be customized; all other problems remain however unsolved.

Duvet covers have also been described, in which both Problem of changeable heat insulation thickness as well Problem of washability in household washing machines can be solved could. However, these duvet blankets are essential with others Disadvantages.

For example, in FR 2595 228 (publication date 11.09.1987) described a blanket which a shell of many adjacent, rectangular Bags of the same shape and size. Every pocket is provided with an opening through which a rectangular Put the pillow in the pocket.

A similar blanket was also described in the patent specification (US 4839 934).

These blankets have the advantage that the pillows before washing can be removed from the shell. You can then use the pillows and the sleeves easily separated in a household washing machine to wash. Can be used for the different pillows differently insulating filling material can be used.

By suitable distribution of the differently good insulation Cushions in the blanket can meet the needs of thermal insulation Sleeper can be optimally adjusted.

A major disadvantage of these blankets is that the Body of insulation material (down, feathers, synthetic Materials) is separated by two layers of fabric (cover, pillow) and thereby the moisture exchange is hindered. Moreover it has been shown in practice that the pillow in the cover slip and thereby unpleasant bumps and cold spots arise.

Another solution has been described in patent specification WO 90/14036 (publication date November 29, 1990). The invention relates there a down or feather quilt, which consists of several individual, interchangeable pockets. All Bags are similar in shape and size. Every bag comes with a connecting device, such as zippers, Buttons, snaps, etc. framed. The individual pockets are not only about their long sides but also about their Cross sides joined together. That means a great many Seams are formed and four pocket corners within the ceiling can meet each other. That is one of the essential disadvantages of this blanket, because the many both seams running lengthways and across the ceiling form many uninsulated areas through which the heat can escape.

There are no special isolation devices along the edges of the pocket intended. The positions are also a problem where four pocket corners meet. There is one missing larger area the thermal insulation. In addition, the Corners have relatively high tensile forces when the sleeper is moving. It is questionable whether the connecting device has this Can withstand forces. The ceiling will therefore be in the Do not prove practice.

According to DE 894 000, a quilt for double beds is known which has a zipper or similar on one long side has elastic connection, which is a detachable connection enables. On the top and bottom of the zipper tabs are provided which cover this. The one described However, execution has the disadvantage that the connection through the tabs colliding on opposite sides has a certain stiffness and angled Condition the zipper connection is not through the tabs is covered. This allows a user's body to cover the ceiling come into contact with the cool metal, which is uncomfortable.

In addition, the blanket does not have the desired one for a duvet Flexibility on.

The invention now has the task of a duvet cover find which is washed in an ordinary household washing machine can be whose size can be changed and whose thermal insulation strength depends on the needs of the individual Lets sleepers adjust. The duvet cover should also no uninsulated seams.

The object is achieved according to the invention with the aid of the training features solved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments are in claims 2 to 19 claimed.

The individual longitudinal tracks 2 extend over the entire Length of the duvet cover 1. The length of the longitudinal panels 2 corresponds So the length of the duvet cover 1. When using cross panels these extend across the entire width of the duvet cover 1.

The length of the cross panels here corresponds to the width of the duvet cover 1.

A longitudinal track 2 is about 40 to 50 centimeters wide. By Coupling three or four longitudinal tracks 2 you get one Duvet cover 1 for a single bed. One adds an additional one Longitudinal web 2, a duvet cover 1 is created for a French one Bed. The width of the duvet cover 1 can be expanded as required will.

When using cross tracks, the length of the cross tracks must be can be selected according to the bed width. The length of the duvet cover 1 is determined by the number of cross tracks that are connected to each other be coupled.

So that the longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 are coupled together can, they are along their longitudinal edges 6 with connecting devices 3 provided. As connecting devices 3 are Example preferably made of plastic zippers, Press studs, laces to tie, buttons with buttonholes, Velcro or other provided. There must be zippers be used where both sides of the zipper can be completely separated from each other.

If buttons are selected, a buttonhole tape is attached to one longitudinal edge 6 sewn on and on the other longitudinal edge 6 a series of Buttons fastened.

The longitudinal edges 6 of two adjacent longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 can either with a single connecting device 3 (see. Fig. 4 to 7) or with two arranged parallel to each other Connection devices 3 are attached to each other (see Figs. 8 to 10). In the latter case, the two are Connecting devices 3 through a band-shaped web 12 connected with each other.

The seams 4 are in accordance with the invention Insulation rags or beads 5 insulated. For training and arrangement of the isolation tabs 5 are different options intended.

For example, each longitudinal or Transverse web 2 an annular insulation tab 5 be attached, which the entire connecting device 3 (see. Fig. 4, 5 and 7) framed. It runs from the first transverse edge 7 of the longitudinal or Cross track 2 from above the connecting device 3 along the longitudinal edge 6 to the other transverse edge 7 of the longitudinal or Transverse path 2. There it is bent through 180 ° and thereby forms a kind of pocket 8. It then runs below the connecting device 3 further along the longitudinal edge 6 back to first transverse edge 7 and is also bent there by 180 °. Will two parallel connecting devices 3 used, framed the isolation tab 5 including both connecting devices 3 the web 12 (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

An annular insulation tab 5 is preferably made of a single elongated fabric 13 manufactured. The length of this Fabric web 13 corresponds approximately to the length of the longitudinal or transverse web 2 a duvet cover 1. The fabric web 13 is in its longitudinal direction folded several times so that two closed cavities are formed, which the interiors 9 of the isolation tab 5 correspond. The folded panel 13 is at least three seams 14, 15 on the longitudinal or transverse web 2 of a duvet cover 1 sewn on. There are three possible ones in FIGS. 11 to 13 Fold types of a fabric web 13 shown.

In the first type of folding (FIG. 11), the inner region 18 forms the fabric web 13, the side surface 19 of a longitudinal or transverse web 2 a duvet cover 1. This side surface 19 is curved inwards. The fabric web 13 is sewn together at its longitudinal edges 23. Their cross section is therefore ring-shaped. The longitudinal or Cross web 2 is formed by a piece of fabric 16, which in its middle is folded lengthways. The two free longitudinal edges 17 of this piece of fabric 16 are thus one above the other. you will be on the fabric web 13 above or below the inner area 18 sewn. These two outer seams 14 consequently delimit the side surface 19 of the longitudinal or transverse track 2. The outer Area 20 of the fabric web 13 is longitudinally like this in the middle folded inside so that the fold seam 21 is the longitudinal bisector of the inner region 18 touched. This will two closed cavities, the interiors 9 of the isolation tab 5, shaped. Forms between the two interiors 9 a space 22 which is closed against the inside and against is open to the outside. In this space 22 is one Half of a zipper 3 arranged such that its Look teeth outwards and its inner edge the fold seam 21 of the outer region 20 touched. Because at this point the can touch the outer and the inner region of the fabric web 13 the zipper 3 and the inner and outer area the fabric web 13 attached to each other with a single longitudinal seam 15 will.

In the second type of folding (see FIG. 12), the side surface 19 a longitudinal or transverse path 2 through the piece of fabric 16 from which the remaining lane 2 is formed. The two longitudinal edges 17 of the piece of fabric 16 are turned inside and with the longitudinal edges 23 of fabric 13 sewn together. The outer area 20 of the fabric web 13 is longitudinally inward in the middle folded that the folding seam 21 with the longitudinal edges 17, 23 of the Piece of fabric 16 or the panel 13 is flush. This will also two closed isolation flap interiors 9, and an intermediate space 22 is formed between them, which towards the outside open and closed towards the inside. In this space 21 is half of a zipper 3 arranged that the zipper teeth look outwards and its inner edge the fold seam 21 of the outer region 20 touched. The fold seam 21 of the outer region 20, the inner edge the zipper 3 and the longitudinal edges 17, 23 of the Piece of fabric 16 or the fabric 13 are by a single Seam 15 fixed together.

In the third type of folding (see FIG. 13), the inner region is 18 the fabric web 13 folded longitudinally in its middle. The free Longitudinal edges 17 of the piece of fabric 16 are sewn to the fold seam 24. The outer region 20 of the fabric 13 consists here two parts of the same size, each with a free longitudinal edge 23.

These two parts are inward towards the middle folded that the free longitudinal edges 23 the folding seam 24 of the Touch inner area 18. As a result, there will again be two insulation lobe interiors 9 shaped. Between these interiors 9 An intermediate space 22 is formed, which opens outwards and inwards through the fold seam 24 of the inner region 18 closed is. In this space 22, half is one Zipper 3 arranged such that the zipper teeth look outwards and its inner edge folds 24 of the inner region 18 touched. The folded seam 24, the inner edge the zipper 3 and the longitudinal edges 17, 23 of the piece of fabric 16 or the fabric web 13 are through a single seam 15 fixed to each other.

Fixed in both the second and third types of folding one more seam 14 each above and below the fabric web 13 their inner area 18 additionally on the piece of fabric 16 Longitudinal or transverse track 2. The two seams 14 form the longitudinal edges the side surface 19 of the longitudinal or transverse track.

The second half of the zipper 3 is as follows on the long side, which faces away from the insulation tab 5, attached: The piece of fabric 16 is on this long side in the Longitudinally folded in such a way that a kind of longitudinal slot is formed. The second half of the zipper 3 is arranged in this longitudinal slot in such a way that the zipper teeth look outwards and its inside edge inward-looking folded seam touched. The zipper half 3 is with a seam 26 on those areas of the piece of fabric 16, which form the two walls of the slot.

In a second type of training of the isolation tab 5 is on each of the two longitudinal edges 6 of a longitudinal or transverse path 2 Insulation tab 5 attached. The one is an isolation rag 5 above the connecting device or devices 3 and the other attached below or below this.

The isolation tabs 5 also extend along the Connecting devices 3 and around at one of their ends Be bent 180 °. Are two longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 with each other coupled, then an isolation tab 5 always hits, which is above the connecting device or devices 3 lies with an isolation tab 5, which is below this or these lie together (see FIGS. 6 and 9).

When the connecting device 3 is closed, the isolation tabs overlap 5 the seams 4 all around. The seams 4 are optimally isolated. The connecting device 3 is also completely covered. An unpleasant contact with the body of the sleeper is excluded.

The insulation tabs 5 are double-walled. she have an interior 9. This interior 9 is with connected to the interior 10 of the longitudinal or transverse track 2 and also filled with insulation material 11. This gives them bead-shaped insulation tabs 5 have a high thermal insulation strength.

But there is also the possibility of insulating tabs 5 Use fabric that is not filled with insulation material are (see Figs. 7 and 10). Their thermal insulation strength is corresponding smaller.

The longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 can with different insulation materials 11 can be filled. As insulation materials 11 are for example down, feathers, natural fibers, synthetic Materials or other conceivable. The degree of filling of the different Longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 can be selected differently.

A duvet cover 1 can be filled with different thicknesses Assemble longitudinal or transverse tracks 2. Since heavily filled longitudinal or transverse webs 2 insulate better than weakly filled, the thermal insulation thickness can thus be measured along the width of the ceiling or ceiling length vary. For example, it is conceivable that with a four-lane duvet cover 1 for summer two weakly filled longitudinal webs 2 can be taken in the middle can and two heavily filled outside. In winter, however, can one the two strongly filled webs 2 in the middle and the take the weakly filled outside. You can have different strengths Combine filled longitudinal webs 2 in such a way that one Side of a duvet only made of highly insulating, the other side, on the other hand, only from weakly insulating longitudinal webs 2 consists.

There is also the possibility of alternating a duvet cover 1 from a strong and a weakly insulating longitudinal or Assemble cross track 2.

There are many variations in the composition of a duvet cover 1 possible. Longitudinal or transverse tracks filled to different extents 2 can be combined as required.

It can be seen that each duvet cover 1 also becomes one Sleeping bag can be converted by using the outer longitudinal edges 6 of the duvet cover 1 can be connected to each other.

The longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 can have stitching. In the Figures 1, 2 and 3 are shown as subdivisions squares. As Circles, smaller strips are also used for the stitching or other conceivable. The stitching can also be left out or be replaced by stapler 25.

The proposed duvet cover 1 is opposite to the previous one known duvet covers essential advantages.

In contrast to conventional duvet blankets, the proposed one Duvet cover 1 thanks to its ability to be dismantled into longitudinal or Cross webs 2 washed in a normal household washing machine will. Compared to the previously known collapsible duvet blankets, as described, for example, in patent specification WO 90/14036 the proposed duvet cover 1 has the large one The advantage that all seams are thermally insulated. Also there there are no places within the proposed duvet cover 1 where Corners of the individual elements that make up the duvet cover is to meet. This ensures that the individual elements are not torn apart by mechanical action will.

Compared to those duvet blankets with exchangeable insulation pillows, as for example in the patent FR 2595 228 and US 4839 934 has been proposed Duvet blanket 1 has the great advantage that between the skin of the Sleeper and the insulation material 11, especially the down, there is only one layer of fabric. This will make the water vapor exchange not disabled and the sleeper experiences a pleasant, dry feeling of warmth. In addition, the insulation material 11 fixed in the relatively narrow longitudinal or transverse tracks 2. A Slip of the insulation material 11 is clear reduced. With the duvet blankets with exchangeable insulation cushions on the other hand, it often happened that the insulation pillow came out slipped out of the pockets. The division into longitudinal tracks 2 also leads to a proposed duvet cover 1 high dimensional stability.

Compared to the previously known duvet blankets, where the insulation strength changed by superimposing several single blankets the proposed duvet cover 1 has Advantage that they are located in side by side longitudinal or transverse tracks 2 can be disassembled. This makes it possible on the one hand the proposed duvet cover 1 in a normal household washing machine wash, on the other hand, the insulation strength can be varied as desired by using highly insulating longitudinal or Cross tracks 2 due to weakly insulating longitudinal or cross tracks 2 replaced or vice versa. Due to the possibility of combination of webs 2 filled to different extents can be achieved that a climate-friendly duvet cover is realized at all times leaves, which are also adapted to each season can. In addition, you also achieve that every sleeper can put together a duvet deck that suits his individual Meets needs. A hot sleeper, which always sweats, becomes less insulating sheets 2, for example, and a cold sleeper, who is always too cold, rather stronger choose insulating sheets 2. It is not only possible to use thermal insulation overall to adapt to the ceiling, but also for different zones of the duvet cover 1 different thermal insulation thicknesses to choose. For duvet blankets for double beds can take into account the heat needs of both sleepers will.

The proposed duvet cover 1 is for the modern housewife very interesting as it can be easily used in a household washing machine can be washed and therefore always one in bed there is optimal hygiene. The proposed one is particularly suitable Duvet cover 1 because of the easy washability too for people who are allergic to dust mites.

Because the connecting seams and thereby also the connecting devices 3 are completely covered with insulating rags 5, the proposed duvet cover 1 is very skin-friendly. she feels cuddly, sleep-sympathetic and cozy.
