Sleeping bag pillow structure
Abstract
A sleeping bag pillow structure comprises a sleeping bag with a
pillow portion wherein at one side of the pillow portion is fixed a
sack-like retaining element with an opening edge through which an
inflatable pillow having a deflating/inflating nozzle attached
thereto can be freely accommodated into and retrieved from the
sack-like retaining element so that no other pillow is separately
carried for the sleeping bag, and the inflatable pillow when
deflated via the deflating/inflating nozzle can be synchronically
rolled up along with the sleeping bag for easy storage,
facilitating more convenient application and carriage of the
sleeping bag. Besides, the inflatable pillow when saturated with
air is accurately limited by the sack-like retaining element and
stably held in place at the pillow portion of the sleeping bag
without randomly sliding around due to the change of sleeping
postures so as to improve the sleeping quality of a sleeper
thereby.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention is related to a sleeping bag pillow
structure, comprising a sleeping bag with a pillow portion wherein
at one side of the pillow portion is attached a sack-like retaining
element with an opening edge, into which an inflatable pillow
having a deflating/inflating nozzle attached thereto can be
accommodated so that no other pillow is separately carried for the
sleeping bag thereof, and the inflatable pillow can be
synchronically rolled up along with the sleeping bag for easy
storage, facilitating more convenient application and carriage of
the sleeping bag. Besides, the inflatable pillow limited by the
matched sack-like retaining element in position can be stably held
in place at the pillow portion of the sleeping bag without randomly
sliding around due to the change of sleeping postures so as to
improve the sleeping quality of a sleeper thereby.
[0002] A conventional sleeping bag on the market features a
bag-like main body with a pillow portion that forms a flat and soft
surface with the bag-like main body thereof. As a result, a pillow
article must be separately carried for the application of the
conventional sleeping bag, which can cause inconvenience in
application and carriage thereof. And in case the sleeping bag is
rolled up for storage, the separate pillow article tends to
increase the volume of the sleeping bag and pose a problem in the
storage of the sleeping bag thereof. Thus, the pillow article must
be separately kept away, which can take a lot of extra space for
the storage thereof. Besides, the pillow article is simply placed
onto the pillow portion of the bag-like main body without any
limitation effect provided, which can make the pillow article
randomly moving and sliding around due to the change of sleeping
postures of a sleeper and disrupt the sleep of the sleeper wakened
from time to time to relocated the displaced pillow article with a
bad sleeping quality thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0003] It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present
invention to provide a sleeping bag pillow structure, comprising a
sleeping bag with a pillow portion wherein at one side of the
pillow portion is fixedly attached a sack-like retaining element
with an opening edge through which an inflatable pillow having a
deflating/inflating nozzle attached thereto can be freely
accommodated into or retrieved from the sack-like retaining element
so that no other pillow is separately carried for the application
of the sleeping bag thereof, and the inflatable pillow can be
synchronically rolled up along with the sleeping bag for easy
storage, facilitating more convenient application and carriage of
the sleeping bag thereof.
[0004] It is, therefore, the second purpose of the present
invention to provide a sleeping bag pillow structure wherein,
depending on the sleeping habits of a sleeper, the inflatable
pillow can be appropriately adjusted in the air-saturated hardness
and softness so as to enhance the comfort of the sleeper and
achieve more humane design thereby. Besides, via the design of the
sack-like retaining element to accommodate the inflatable pillow
therein, the inflatable pillow swollen with filled-in air can be
precisely limited by the matched sack-like retaining element in
position and stably held in place at the pillow portion of the
sleeping bag without randomly moving or sliding around due to the
change of sleeping postures so as to improve the sleeping quality
of the sleeper thereof.
[0005] It is, therefore, the third purpose of the present invention
to provide a sleeping bag pillow structure wherein when the
sleeping bag is to be cleansed, due to the opening edge thereof,
the inflatable pillow can be retrieved from the sack-like retaining
element without been soaked in water and washed together with the
sleeping bag so that the foams of detergent won't infiltrate into
the inflatable pillow and cause the untidy phenomena of water
stains and odor during the cleansing process of the sleeping bag
for easy drying of the sleeping bag as well as the extension of the
using lifetime of the inflatable pillow to achieve the best using
state thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Please refer to FIG. 1 showing an exploded perspective view
of the present invention (accompanied by FIG. 2 showing an
assembled perspective view of the present invention). The present
invention is related to a sleeping bag pillow structure, including
a sleeping bag 10 made up of a bag-like main body 11 and a pillow
portion 12 disposed at the opening end of the bag-like main body 11
thereof wherein at one side of the pillow portion 12 (either the
front side or the rear side as shown in FIG. 3) is attached a
sack-like retaining element 13 with a connecting section 131
disposed thereon. The sack-like retaining element 13 can be
directly sewed or fastened to the pillow portion 12 with an opening
edge 132 preset at one side thereof. An inflatable pillow 14 having
a deflating/inflating nozzle 141 attached thereto is provided to
reciprocally match with the sack-like retaining element 13 thereby.
Via the opening edge 131 thereof, the inflatable pillow 14 can be
precisely accommodated into the sack-like retaining element 13 that
will swell and bulge upwards along with the inflatable pillow 14
saturated with filled-in air so as to provide comfortable support
and cushion for head of a sleeper. In case the sack-like retaining
element 13 is fixed at the rear side of the pillow portion 12 as
shown in FIG. 3, the pillow portion 13 bulged by the swollen
inflatable pillow 14 will rise up in a smooth and soft surface to
give comfortable support to the head thereof. And, depending on the
sleeping habits of a sleeper, the inflatable pillow 14 can be
appropriately adjusted in the air-saturated hardness and softness
to enhance the comfort of sleep and achieve more humane design
thereby. Meanwhile, via the design of the sack-like retaining
element 13 to accommodate the inflatable pillow 14 therein, the
inflatable pillow 14 swollen by filled-in air will precisely abut
against the sack-like retaining element 13 to form a comfortably
smooth and wrinkleless surface therewith. Besides, limited by the
sack-like retaining element 13 in position thereof, the inflatable
pillow 14 is stably held in place at the pillow portion 12 of the
sleeping bag 10 without randomly moving or sliding around due to
the change of sleeping postures so as to improve the sleeping
quality of the sleeper thereby. Furthermore, when the sleeping bag
10 is to be rolled up for storage, the deflating/inflating nozzle
141 thereof is simply squeezed to release the air filled inside the
inflatable pillow 14 as shown in FIG. 4. And when the sack-like
retaining element 13 becomes flattened, the inflatable pillow 14
can be easily rolled up along with the sleeping bag 10 without
another keeping place required or taking up too much space for it,
facilitating a spatially economical storage and convenient carriage
thereof.
[0014] Please refer to FIG. 5 showing an exploded perspective view
of another embodiment of the present invention (accompanied by FIG.
6 showing an assembled perspective view of another embodiment of
the present invention). The present invention can also include a
sack-like retaining element 13' that, having an opening edge 132'
disposed at one side, is formed like a bag body. A connecting
section 131' is provided extending at the corresponding side of the
opening edge 132' to be sewed or fastened to an appropriate
position at the upper edge of one side of the pillow portion 12 of
the sleeping bag 10 (either the front side or the rear side as
shown in FIG. 7) to form an individually built-in and hanging-type
design thereby. And the inflatable pillow 14 can be guided through
the opening edge 132' thereof to accommodate at the sack-like
retaining element 13' therein for limiting location thereby.
