Ds outdoor survival coats
The sleeping insert that I have been mentioning in this is one that is adaptable to every coat made. It is to provide you with an easy access sleeping bag which is built right into the coat. These coats/sleeping bags have the highest quality water repelling and thermal products to keep you warm and dry in the harshest climates and elevations. By just removing the coat and unlocking the snaps on the back, your sleeping bag is accessible, at this point it can either stay in the coat or be removed by a heavy duty zipper located at the top of the insert on the back of the coat (as shown in FIGS. 1 through 9).

BACKGROUNDThe background of this invention is comprised of a coat and sleeping bag combined together with the highest quality water repelling and thermal material used to make a place for sleeping that is built for the outdoors, and that will allow protection against the weather and give a place to sleep if the case may be.
SUMMARYThrough the use of modern technology this coat is a sleeping apparatus that is comprised of the highest quality water repelling and thermal materials available which in turn will give a lighter product that has less bulk than the coat and sleeping bag separately, it can be removed from the jacket by just a few snaps and a zipper which will make the care of this product easier to maintain. The design of these two articles combined will make this coat that of one which will be used for all of the outdoor activities and at the same time provide a dry warm place to rest. The attributes that come with this design could be very helpful to a lot of areas of the outdoor world.
DETAILED NARRATIVEI took a coat and designed the back of it to hold a sleeping bag. The bag and coat are designed to have the highest water repelling and thermal properties available on the open market. I then measured and laid out the back of the coat to hold this sleeping apparatus.
I measured 8 cm 3⅛ inches approximately in from both sides and 14 cm 5½ inches approximately down from the collar, and leaving 8 cm 3⅛ inches at the bottom of the coat (as shown in
At this point I then measured down from the line to line that I squared on the back of the coat, at this point I measured down 60 cm 23⅝ inches this told me how much room I had to work with now knowing 60 cm is 23⅝ inches I could now determine the length I could use for my insert, knowing that I would need a insert that is 84 inches long (as shown in
At this point I now needed to know the width so I took the horizontal measurements of 19 and ⅛ inches=49 cm this told me how wide of an insert I could use at this point. I then took 2 inches off the horizontal measurements and left a 1 inch space around the insert and the flaps leaving me with a 15 inch 38 cm insert with 2-6½ inch 16½ cm folds (as shown in
At this point I now have a sleeping insert that will fit into the back of this coat leaving 1 and ¼ inches, 3⅛ cm reveal on the sides and 1 inch reveal on top and bottom where the sleeping insert recesses into the coat. (as shown in
An added cross stitched snapping flap was incorporated at the top of the insert for locking the sleeping apparatus inside and to keep it from sagging (as shown in
Claims
