Patent number: 11930952Abstract: A sleeping bag includes a top cover and bottom sheet. The bottom sheet can be secured to a sleeping pad and includes a sheet portion and lateral flaps connected to the sheet portion along opposite lateral edges of the sleeping pad when the bottom sheet is secured thereto. The top cover and lateral flaps enable attachment, detachment, and reattachment of the lateral flaps along their lateral edges to a top cover outer surface along corresponding attachment paths displaced medially from top cover lateral edges, enabling a top cover headward portion to assume wrapped and expanded configurations, and enabling conversion between those configurations. When wrapped, headward portions of the top cover outer surface, that are lateral of the attachment paths, are positioned against the sheet portion; when expanded, the lateral flaps and lateral portions of the top cover extend upward or laterally away from the sleeping pad lateral edges.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ZENBIVY LLCInventor: Michael Glavin

Patent number: 10765240Abstract: A quilt usable as a sleeping bag has inner and outer sets of fasteners arranged on slanted paths from each side edge to the bottom edge and fasteners along the bottom edge. The fasteners hold the quilt in a wrapped, overlapping arrangement. With the fasteners engaged, pulling a draw cord across the quilt bottom edge gathers the bottom edge and forms a closed, wrapped footbox of the sleeping bag. A sheet for use with a sleeping bag quilt include two sets of fasteners arranged to engage corresponding fasteners on the quilt to attach the quilt to the sheet in an expanded-footbox arrangement. Pulling a draw cord across the quilt bottom edge gathers the bottom edge and forms a closed, expanded footbox of the sleeping bag.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: ZENBIVY LLCInventor: Michael Glavin
