Description
[0001] The invention consists in a shawl-like warmth blanket made
of textiles for persons, with an arm entry that is equipped with a
glove-like closure at the end.
[0002] Already known is the customary warmth blanket made of fleece
material, with which a person can also wrap himself up, in which
the blanket is equipped with a mitten-like closure in an upper,
side area, into which a person can put one hand. The mitten-like
closure is fastened to the blanket with a short arm entry segment
in the area of a reach-through opening. Such warmth blankets allow
the user insufficient possibilities for use of hands, since the
second hand can only be used, if it is brought out of the cover in
the wrapped-up position, at which time mitten-like closure,
attached at a relatively short distance, does not permit fine motor
hand movements.
[0003] The challenge of the invention consists in proposing a
shawl-like warmth blanket made of textiles for persons, with which
the user can be kept warm and can use his hands with the protective
covering element.
[0004] The challenge of the invention is resolved with the warmth
blanket made of textiles, named at the beginning, which is
characterized by two arm entries of sufficient length, located at a
distance from one another, with glove-like closures. Such a warmth
blanket can therefore be designed as a blanket, a shawl or a
poncho. In particular, such a warmth blanket made of suitable
textiles for use as a children's warmth blanket can be used in the
baby carriage or similar.
[0005] In order to make possible fine motor movements of the hands
in the hand covering-like closures, it is suggested that the
closures be designed with one to five finger entries, preferably in
the manner of gloves. Moreover, the glove-like closures can consist
of an easy gripping, thin material. For example, with such closures
paging in books and newspapers will be possible.
[0006] In addition the glove-like closures at least inside on the
grip side can be equipped with a slip-preventing surface structure,
for example with slubbing in regular distribution.
[0007] In order to allow a free manipulation of hands also in the
enfolded position of such a warmth blanket, it has been suggested
on the one hand, to attach the closures detachably on the arm
entries and, on the other hand it has been suggested to provide
open reach-through spaces either on the arm entries or in the area
of the closures. By preference the arm entries are designed to be
wider than the closures, so that the openings can be designed in
each case in the area of the arm entry segment projecting across
from the closure.
[0008] In order to be able to use such a warmth blanket both in the
enfolded position from the front and also from behind with
glove-like closures with at least a thumb formation, it is
suggested, according to requirement 14, to locate the arm entry in
both cases in such a way on the warmth blanket that the plane of
the closure is perpendicular to the plane of the warmth blanket. In
this fashion, the thumb can be put into the corresponding finger
entry in both enfolding possibilities.
[0009] As to the warmth blanket, the invention is explained more
closely in the following. It shows:
[0010] FIG. 1: a perspective view of the extended warmth
blanket,
[0011] FIG. 2: a perspective view of the warmth blanket in FIG. 1
in the enfolded position,
[0012] FIG. 3: the perspective view of an arm entry with a
glove-like closure and a reach-through possibility on the side,
[0013] FIG. 4: a perspective view of another arm entry with a
reach-through opening in the arm entry segment.
[0014] And
[0015] FIG. 5: a perspective view of a relatively wide arm entry
with a mitten-like closure and an reach-through opening located on
the side near this segment.
[0016] Next, we will refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. With the number 1, we
refer to a warmth blanket that is made preferable of fleece
material. In its upper area 11, two arm entries 12 are provided at
corresponding distances from one another. On these, the glove-like
closures 13 are recognizable.
[0017] These glove-like closures 13 show, at least on the interior
side (grip side) a slip-preventing surface structure, for example,
corresponding slip-preventing slubbing 14 in equal distribution.
These glove-like closures 13 consist preferable of a considerably
thinner material than that of the arm entry 12, so that fine motor
manipulation is possible, for instance, paging in a book. Such a
warmth blanket can be used both from the front and also from the
back by the user for body coverage. Therefore it is useful, on the
side edge areas, especially however, in the lower area 16 of the
cover 1 to provide Velcro fasteners 15 that can secure the enfolded
position of the cover on the user.
[0018] And so that also in both use positions the insertion of the
thumb in the corresponding closure is possible, we suggest locating
the arm entry in such a way on the element, and so, for example, on
the cover, that on each side the plane of the closure is
approximately perpendicular to the plane of the element.
[0019] With the arm entry formation 2 according to FIG. 3, the arm
entry segment 21 is kept significantly wider than the glove-like
closure 23. In the area 22, projecting on the sides a reach-through
opening 24 is provided, through which the hand when necessary can
be moved outside. In order to hold the loose, glove-like closures
(23) that hang down, an elastic strap 25 next to the reach-through
opening 24 is provided, that can be pulled over the wrist with the
enfolding of the closure. The finger entries of closure 23 carry
the 24.
[0020] In an arm formation according to FIG. 4, the breadth and the
width of the arm entry segment of arm entry 3 corresponds
approximately to the breadth of the glove-like closure 33 with the
finger entries 34. On the side, on the arm entry segment 31 a free
reach-through opening is provided.
[0021] In the formation of the arm entry 4 according to FIG. 5, the
arm entry segment 41 is designed on both sides of the mitten-like
closure 43 with the thumb entry 431 projecting. In the projecting
area 42, the free reach-through opening 44 is again provided. Near
this, strap 45, already described, can be provided.
[0022] Every glove-like design type can be executed, and these
glove-like closures can be planned to be removable or only fastened
in part of the area. Also imaginable is the glove-like closure
design of the type of a collapsible glove, in which the actual
glove displays open finger entries, which can be covered by a
covering that is fastened on one side.
