Abstract: A sleeping bag (11) design for providing adjustability of the inner volume and outer exposed surface area of the bag comprises sheathed drawcords (14), preferably elastic, attached only to the top or upper portion of the bag and secured by cord locks (16) A user of the bag can tighten the drawcords during cold weather, thereby providing a warmer bag by reducing the inner volume and the exposed outer surface area of the bag without reducing the thermal protection provided to the lower portion of the bag by an underlying flat insulated pad, as would be the case with drawcords fully encircling the bag. During warmer weather, the user can relax the drawcord adjustment, thereby providing the user with more freedom of movement. Thus a considerably more versatile sleeping bag is provided--that can be adjusted to provide more warmth during cold weather or more freedom of movement during warmer weather.

Preferably, the fasteners are mounted on fairly long, flexible shanks so that they can pass through the holes in the layers of covers to secure and automatically align the covers relative to the mattress and to one another. The covers may be fastened to one another at the top edges thereof using fasteners such as button tracks. The foot and edge fasteners facilitate making and remaking the bed covers. Also, the fasteners and holes may be formed in a standardized configuration and spacing to provide upward and downward compatibility among different mattress sizes.

Abstract: A sleeping enclosure, which keeps a sleeping child covered throughout the night, is constructed from a bottom form-fitted sheet for a mattress with a top flat sheet stitched to the bottom form-fitted sheet along the foot end portion and partially along the longitudinal sides. A cooperating fastening element removably secures the upper unstitched portions of the top flat sheet to the bottom form-fitted sheet. An elastic strap connected to both sides of the bottom form-fitted sheet slides under the mattress to keep the bottom form-fitted sheet from pulling away from the mattress. The result is an enclosure inviting a child to snuggle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a protective restraint for patients such as sufferers of Alzhemier's disease or people emerging from anesthesia who, although not acutely violent or dangerous, must be restrained in a bed for their own safety. This device comprises a bottom portion called an anchor, which is placed under the mattress of a bed. A top portion called a topper is fastened to the anchor on both sides of the bed by means such as zippers which run along the sides of the anchor. For some uses, the topper can be translucent, such as nylon mesh, so that a caregiver can easily see the status of the patient and any bedclothes or catheters under the topper. For other uses and for additional warmth, an opaque sheet or blanket which extends beyond the edges of the anchor can be provided for maximal privacy and dignity. The topper is secured across the chest and shoulder region in a snug but not demeaning or severely uncomfortable manner.

Abstract: An article for wrapping an infant comprises a sheet of fabric material, such as blanket material, quilting or baby bunting, having a generally triangular left-hand, a generally triangular right-hand side flap, first and second botties or stocking feet depending from lower regions of the sheet for receiving the feet of an infant resting along a vertical central region of the sheet, and a hood in upper regions of the sheet for receiving the head of the infant. The side flaps each have a sufficient sideward length to enable the flaps to wrap sidewardly over the infant when it is resting along the vertical center region of the sheet and to overlap one another by a substantial amount. The article includes strips of hook and loop fabric for releasably securing the side flaps together when they are in the overlapped condition. The sheet is sized so that an infant resting along the vertical region of the sheet can have its head in the hood and its feet in the booties or stocking feet.

Abstract: The invention provides a blanket which can function not only as a blanket for keeping warm, but also as a blanket to provide privacy for a nursing mother to breast feed her baby in public and also as a sun shade and wind shade. The blanket has a periphery and an inner portion, and also a contracting structure for contracting the inner portion to form a hood means when contracted, the contracting means being spaced inwardly from the periphery. A margin extends between the contracting means and the periphery and is adapted to form gathers or folds extending from and around the hood means when the contracting means is contracted. The hood means receives the baby's head, and usuall most of the baby's torso. The gathers stiffen the margin of the blanket to be essentially self-supporting when extending from the hood means for leaning against the mother's upper body.

Abstract: An article of bedding, such as a bedsheet, bedspread, blanket, or the like, provides additional fabric for a user's feet by means of a pleat formed by a pair of oppositely-folded parallel folds extending across the width of the article. In preferred embodiments, the folds of material forming the pleat are seamed together only at the ends of the pleat so that the medial parts of the pleat can unfold during use. The seams will hold the pleat in place so that when the bed is unoccupied, the folds will lie flat, especially if pressed. The seams may be arranged to coincide with the upper edge of the mattress and, between the seams and the side edges of the mattress, fabric equivalent to two of the three layers of the pleat may be removed to give a flat valance portion.
