Abstract: This invention involves a bed covering incorporating a pouch for a child in which the pouch is part of a fun scene on the bed cover and the child becomes part of the scene while taking a nap. The pouch is of sufficient size to allow free movement of the child and large enough to prevent a child from being trapped in the event that the child becomes twisted around in the pouch. The pouch in this invention is relatively large and is part of the design of the bed cover. The pouch of this invention exhibits localized expansion of the pattern which causes the distortion of the design to be minimized whether or not the pouch is occupied. A unique process to produce localized expansion has been developed and used in this invention.

Abstract: The healthful quilt comprises a cotton sheet, natural of synthetic, and a cover. Near one end of both the cotton sheet and the cover is cut a long head hole, of the same size and at the same location, through which a human head can pass from under the quilt. Then the head can rest and press on the end part of the quilt, and the body can be covered by the rest of the quilt.There are two flaps stitched beside the long head hole on the cover, one on the upper side and other on the under side. These flaps can cover the long head hole to make a common conventional quilt or can be placed through the hole with one end fastened together with the other side by means of hooks and eyes to keep the head hole open for the sleeper's head to pass through. Then the sleeper's head presses a part of the quilt, keeping it always covering his body without falling down in spite of his body's movement, so that the sleeper can always be kept warm.

Abstract: A combination bedspread and sleeping enclosure constructed from a matching or color-and-design-coordinated fabric, the bedspread being made to form fit the associated mattress, and including a transversely disposed fastening element located adjacent the foot end of the bed, whereby a cooperating fastening element is secured to the sleeping enclosure so as to be removably interconnected to the transverse fastening element of the bedspread. The sleeping enclosure is formed as a single, elongated cover comprising a material of double thickness which is batten filled; and the enclosure has oppositely disposed longitudinal fastening elements, each fastening element being secured along the inner side of the enclosure and being defined by male and female interconnecting elements. Thus, when the elongated cover is folded along its transverse center line, the respective fastening elements thereon will engage and establish a sleeping enclosure having one end closed and two closed sides.

Abstract: A sleeping bag for pets is formed from a multiple ply padded sheet of deeply quilted material which is normally folded along its central portion with opposite halves in overlying relationship to form lower and upper layers and with the edge portions of each half in alignment with each other. A closure means, such as a zipper, connects the overlying edge portions of the layers together to form an open-end bag with a pet entry opening at one end. A plurality of small air openings are formed in the edge portions of the layers with each air opening being of a size smaller than the appendage of the pet to use the bag, so that the air openings and the deeply quilted inside surfaces of the sleeping bag form air passages inside the sleeping bag and movement of the pet in the bag usually causes air to enter into and exhaust from the bag. An accessory attachment pocket is formed in the bag structure for the insertion of flea retardant chemicals, etc.
