  • Publication number: 20170065089
    Abstract: A sleeping system for use outdoors or in non-heated indoor spaces and includes a support structure and a sleeping unit, which is arranged underneath the support structure when in use and forms an access opening for at least one person. When in use, the sleeping unit is tensioned by a tensioning device having a tensioning unit directly or indirectly via the support structure such that the sleeping unit forms a body-accommodating space that is kept in shape by the tensioning device.

  • Publication number: 20170065107
    Abstract: A thermally insulating single or multipart multilayer covering jacket for covering a person, includes a body side and an outer side. The covering jacket contains a transfer layer, a blocking layer, and a storage layer arranged between the transfer layer and the blocking layer. The transfer layer is arranged so as to face the body side and is water-permeable in the direction of the storage layer and water-impermeable in the direction away from the storage layer. The blocking layer is arranged so as to face the outer side and is water-impermeable in the direction away from the storage layer, and the blocking layer forms an intermediate space for storing condensed water which is formed from the steam transferred into the storage layer through the transfer layer.

  • Publication number: 20160198873
    Abstract: A lying system including at least one leveling chamber that can be filled with air. The lying system contains a lying side, which forms a lying surface, and a support side. The at least one leveling chamber that can be filled with air is part of a leveling device or forms part of a leveling device and can be filled with air in such a way that the lying system has locally different heights outside of the usage position. Thus, the support side can be at least partially adapted to the inclination and/or the unevenness of the ground, such that the lying surface is more even and/or less inclined than the ground in the usage position.

  • Patent number: 9080345
    Abstract: A bivouac shelter for residing outdoors, including a basis unit that forms a tunnel-like or sack-like body receiving space with an access opening for a person. The bivouac shelter includes a closure unit, by way of which the body receiving space is closable in a thermally insulating and airtight manner. The closure unit moreover includes a connection body that can be assembled transversely over the access opening and that is connectable to the basis unit in a thermally insulating manner. The closure unit moreover includes a hood attached onto the connection body for receipt of a head of a person lying with the body in the body receiving space. The basis unit can also include a foot-side terminating element.
