" Application January 28, 1935, Serial No. 3,690
' 2 Claims. (c 5-343 ii o bags for infants and has for its object to provide a device of this type which may be adjusted so as to confine the infant against removal of coverings without interfering with normal bodily exercise while the infant is confinedto its bed during waking hours and. also to prevent it from removing covering while asleep.
it further object of the invention is to provide a sleeping bag which may receive a mattress and ttress covering on which the infant rests and may also be drawn over its bed covering such as blankets, quilts and the like, and which is ad- :iustable to cover the infant to any extent that may be desired.
Other objects of the invention are pointed out or will be understood. from. the following speci- :ucation:
A suitable embodiment of the invention'is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein,
Fig. i is a perspective view of a sleeping bag constructed in accordance with the invention.
2 is a top plan view of the same as it appears in use.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same take on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
the sleeping bag oi. this invention comprises a fabric structure which preferably is substantially rectaar in transverse and likewise in longitul section, the same being open at one end to receive the mattress and the customary mattress covering, together with blankets, quilts and the like, and also the body of the child resting on said mattress.
1 i bag is of a length to receive all except that portion of the mattress upon which the pillow usually rests and is equipped with means for adjusting the same laterally. to fit the mattress snuglyand further to confine the infant as snugly as desired at the mouth of said bag.
As shown in drawing, the bag comprises the bottom wall (i) which consists of a continuous sheet of fabric which may be integral also with the side walls (2), end wall (3) and top wall ll, or if desired, the said walls may comprise separate fabric sheets or strips suitably stitched together in a well known manner.
till
The top wall (4) is provided preferably at a point removed from its middle portion with a invention relates particularly to sleeping at the open end of the latter with hems (8) of suflicient width to receive the inner end portion of tie strings (9) which are secured at their inner extremities to the fabric walls of the hems by stitching (I ll) or in any other suitable man- 5 ner, said tie strips'or straps (9) projecting from mouths of said hems at both sides of said top and bottom walls of the bag.
Other pairs of tie strips or straps (ii) are secured to the bottom and top walls of said bag 10 along both sides thereof at points spaced appreciably from the side walls of the same.
In use the said bag is slipped over the lower portion of the mattress and its covering or padding and sheets, this operation being rendered it easy of accomplishment by opening the said slit (5) throughout its length. While said slit is thus opened, the child (and bed coverings if desired) is placed on the mattress substantially as shown in Fig. 2 and the said slit (5) is then closed. The Rt tie strips or straps (9) are then manipulated to tie the bag snugly and firmly about the portion of the mattress which it embraces and over the chest of the child, the hems (8) being gathered during this operation.
The tie strips or straps i i) are then also employed to cause the bag body to embrace the mattress and child .as firmly as judgment dictates, or, in the case of a narrower than ordinary mattress, the said top and bottom walls may be to tucked in at the sides of the mattress substantially as shown in Fig. 3 to cause said bag to be reduced in width to accord with the width of the narrower mattress, .thus permitting the said bag to be used for the infant's bed and the per- 3% ambulator in which it may be disposed.
Obviously, the various pairs of straps l i may be adjusted to cause the upper or open end portion of the bag to engage the chest and abdominal portion of the child firmly and the remaining pairs of said straps (l I) may be left untied or sufiiciently loose to provide ample room for exercise of the child's legs without interference.
The bed coverings such as blankets, cushions and the like may be placed over the top wall of 45 the bag and are practically incapable of becoming displaced by the activities of the child.
The bag is made, preferably, of a thin but strong fabric of any type suited to the purpose and is not intended, per se, to constitute a means for maintaining the child warm.
A further advantage of the structure is that while the child is confined sufiiciently firmly to prevent the removal of its covers, it does not inu terfere otherwise with the freedom oi. the child's movements which is essential for the full development of the infant.
The device is very simple and inexpensive as well as extremely efllcient for the purpose intended.
I claim as my invention:
1. A sleeping bag comprising a fabric structure open at one end and adapted to receive the ma- Jor portion of a mattress or the like and the limbs and torso of a person resting upon the same, there being a longitudinal slit in the top wall of said bag extending from the open end thereof to a point adjacent its other end, closure means bordering said slit, means for contracting the mouth of said bag to firmly engage the mattress and retain said bag against displacement from a predetermined position and to cause said mouth portion to hug closely the torso of the occupant at the predetermined point and a plurality of pairs of tie straps secured to the top and bottom walls of said bag at points spaced from the side edges of the same and adapted to be tied along the side walls of the bag for adjusting the fullness of the latter between its ends and for adjusting the width of the bag to flt mattresses of different widths.
2. A sleeping bag comprising a fabric structure open at one end and adapted to receive the ma- Jor portion of a mattress or the like and the limbs and torso of a person resting upon the same, there being a longitudinal slit in the top wall of said bag extending from the open end thereof to a point adjacent its other end, closure means bordering said slit, pairs of gathering means secured to the mouth of the bag at points spaced from the side walls of the same and from the said slit and operable digitally to firmly engage the mattress and retain said bag against displacement from a predetermined position and to cause said mouth portion to hug closely the torso of the occupant at the predetermined point and a plurality of pairs of tie straps secured to the top and bottom walls of said bag at points spaced from the side edges of the same and adapted to be tied along the side walls of the bag for adjusting the fullness of the latter between its ends and for adjusting the width of the bag to fit mattresses of diflerent widths.
