  • Patent number: 5179741
    Abstract: An improved easily stored combination pillow and infant blanket that can be used as a pillow when folded and secured by a zipper or when not folded and secured can be used as an infant size blanket. The blanket folds into itself to minimize any sharp edges on the blanket. Straps are provided to attach the pillow to another surface to keep the pillow in place. When unfolded as a blanket the zipper is only on one side such that the zipper edge does not detract from the use as a soft blanket. When folded in the pillow configuration a strap can be attached for carrying and for ease of use as a carrying bag when objects are placed within the folds of the pillow-blanket for transport.
