Definitions
- the invention relates to a hanging sleeping bag with an upper and a lower part and with fastening elements at the head and foot ends for fastening to two spaced-apart fastening points, in particular in the form of ropes, cords, tapes, fabric panels or other tear-resistant material, wherein the lower part, in contrast to the upper part, absorbs tensile forces in the longitudinal direction of the hanging sleeping bag and directs them to the fastening points along lines that converge approximately in the area of a collecting or fastening point.
- This fastening technique has proven to be unstable in practice in that when a sleeper lying in the sleeping bag is laterally displaced, its center of gravity triggers a tilting movement of the hanging sleeping bag along its longitudinal direction, since the sleeper's center of gravity causes a deeper one Can take position.
- the tilting movement leads to an increasing lateral displacement of the sleeper, which only comes to an end when the spreader bars are approximately vertical or - if the top of the sleeping bag is very wide - the bottom and top of the sleeping bag have even reversed their position.
- US Pat. No. 4,001,902 discloses a hanging sleeping bag, the lower part of the sleeping bag occupying an almost flat position by means of two spreader bars provided on its two ends.
- the center of gravity of a sleeper lying on it is so high that an unstable equilibrium is established, i.e. with a slight swing the hanging sleeping bag shows a tendency to tip over. This is prevented at most by stabilizing ropes on the top, which carry a tent roof, the sides of which are in turn connected to the edge of the lower part of the sleeping bag.
- This problem is solved by cutting the lower part of the sleeping bag in such a way and / or dimensioning the length or cut shape of the fastening elements in such a way that a line running along the periphery of the lower part of the sleeping bag is shorter than one (approximately) from one fastening point to the other. in the middle along or through the line running through the lower part of the sleeping bag between these points.
- This ensures that the lower part of the sleeping bag in the suspended state assumes a contour which is strongly arched and / or sagging transversely to its longitudinal direction. Because the shortened periphery of the lower part of the sleeping bag forces the same to follow a much straighter course between the fastening points than its central part.
- the (mean) transverse curvature radius of the lower part of the sleeping bag in each cross-sectional plane ie, also in the middle of the hanging sleeping bag, is smaller than the distance of the lowest lying hammock area from a straight connecting line between the two fastening points. Therefore, the position of the center of gravity of a person lying on the lower part of the sleeping bag is lower in the area of the vertical connection plane between the two fastening points than in the area of the longitudinal edges and thus stable against lateral tilting movements.
- fastening ropes or another flat fastening element are provided at the head and foot end, which converge towards one another in the region of a collection point, where a head or foot point of a (virtual) tilting axis then results, about which the inventive one is also based
- Hanging sleeping bag could swivel.
- the center of gravity of the sleeper cannot assume a lower position, rather the lowest possible center of gravity is assumed on its plane of symmetry.
- every distance of the body of a sleeping person from this stable equilibrium position creates an oppositely directed force, which brings the sleeper back to the safe middle position. Therefore, even in the case of restless sleep, a person can never fall out of the hanging sleeping bag according to the invention.
- the length requirement that is decisive for the small transverse curvature required for this can be achieved either by appropriately cutting the lower part of the sleeping bag and / or flat fastening means or by suitably selected lengths of traction means that attack different areas of the sleeping bag.
- the weight forces acting flatly on the lower part are collected and diverted along or through the lower part and through fastening elements adjoining them to the fastening points. Due to the flexibility of conventional, rope-shaped fastening elements, they align themselves in the direction of the tensile forces transmitted thereby and thus show their course.
- the upper part of the sleeping bag has no influence on all of these considerations, since it has no force-transmitting function and, moreover, usually does not reach all the way to the fastening points or centers.
- the lower part of the sleeping bag is cut to size and / or the length or cut shape of the fastening elements is dimensioned such that between the periphery of the lower part of the sleeping bag and its center line running in the longitudinal direction of the hanging sleeping bag there is a line which is free of kinks and waves and runs along or through the lower part of the sleeping bag, the same length or longer is than all other lines running along or through the lower part of the sleeping bag between these points, in particular also longer than the lines running along the longitudinal center line and along the periphery of the lower part of the sleeping bag.
- Two such longest lines or longest areas are mirror-symmetrical to the longitudinal median plane of the hanging sleeping bag and divide the lower part of the sleeping bag into an intermediate central area and two laterally adjacent, peripheral edge or side strips.
- a dimensioning results in a lying area that is less arched in the transverse direction, ie flatter, near the longitudinal center plane of the hanging sleeping bag;
- the peripheral edge or side strips run relatively steeply, for example in the manner of the side wall of a ship.
- the surface area enclosed by the two, approximately symmetrical, longest areas of the lower part of the sleeping bag has an approximately spindle-shaped (cut) shape adapted to the human body.
- This area which is preferably made from a flat blank, always offers the sleeper approximately the required lateral play in each cross-sectional plane.
- no material has to be drawn from the peripheral areas, and the lateral edge strips can have an approximately constant width over long distances. This results in a smooth and uniform longitudinal arching of the lower part of the sleeping bag, resulting in a relatively flat and therefore comfortable sleeping position.
- the adaptation to human body shapes has the result that the central area of the lower part of the sleeping bag serving as a lying surface has convex longitudinal edges at least in some areas and / or assumes its widest point approximately at the level of the shoulders of a sleeper or in the head half of the hanging sleeping bag.
- the term middle part refers to the actual lying area of one sleeping person in contrast to the adjoining edge or side areas, which delimit the lying area.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that at the head and / or foot end there is in each case an approximately trapezoidal tapered cut from a tear-resistant material, the wider base of which is located on the area serving as a sleeping bag, and the narrower side with a fastening means, For example, rope, hook or eyelet is provided.
- a fastening means can, for example, be fastened to the lower part of the sleeping bag by means of a zipper and can therefore be removed in a few simple steps when the same is used as a lying sleeping bag.
- it can be designed as a bag in order to accommodate the folded hanging sleeping bag.
- the blank for the lower part of the sleeping bag has at least one edge or side strip in each case in the region of its periphery, in particular laterally next to or outside the longitudinal edges of the central part corresponding approximately to the lying area, or is connected to one, in particular is sewn, the outer, ie, peripheral edge follows a concave course.
- This initially concave edge area which follows a continuous line of force when the hanging sleeping bag is in use, then allows the middle section to assume a strongly arched shape between the head and foot ends without being overstretched in individual areas.
- the use form of the hanging sleeping bag according to the invention can best be compared to a gondola whose bottom (corresponding to the central part of the cut according to the invention for the lower part) is arched lengthways and transversely and tapers towards the bow and stern to a point, while the lateral side walls (corresponding to the two edge or side strips of the lower part according to the invention) have an approximately constant (vertical) width and thereby take over the longitudinal curvature of the base part.
- the invention recommends giving the blanks for the edge or side strips an approximately banana-shaped shape.
- the two can Longitudinal edges of an edge or side strip of the lower part of the sleeping bag come closer to one another in their end regions, as a result of which the desired strong arching in the transverse direction can be realized continuously from the head region to the foot region.
- the blanks for the edge or side strips of the lower part of the sleeping bag are partially separated from the blank for its surface area adapted to the human body, or partially in the area of the front ends of the lower part of the sleeping bag in the longitudinal direction of the blank, it is possible to largely choose the size of the border or side stripes.
- a sleeping bag upper part is attached to the side edges of the lower part. This can consist of several blanks that can be unfolded for getting in or out.
- the upper part can then be provided with a zipper, button row or the like running in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag. On the one hand, this facilitates getting in and out of the sleeping bag and, on the other hand, also allows the temperature within the sleeping bag according to the invention to be influenced.
- the outline of the entire upper part preferably follows approximately the same outline as the sleeping area of the sleeping bag adapted to the human body. lower part.
- the upper part of the sleeping bag can either also be detachably fastened, for example by means of push buttons or the like, so that the sleeping bag according to the invention can also be used like a conventional hammock, or it is undetachable, for example sewn on.
- the invention is further optimized in that an insulation element, in particular an insulation mat, is arranged in the region of the lower part of the sleeping bag.
- This insulation element preferably consists of a thermally insulating material, for example a foam, and should be largely kept free of tensile forces in the absence of sufficient mechanical strength.
- this insulation element should lie as close as possible to the body of a sleeper and, for this purpose, be adapted to the preferred longitudinal and transverse curvature by appropriate cutting.
- Fastening means passing through in the longitudinal direction can be arranged both above and below the insulation mat.
- the insulation mat In order to detachably attach the insulation mat, it can be inserted, for example, into a pocket-shaped receptacle on the underside of the lower part of the sleeping bag or can be fixed by means of buttons. In this case, the insulation mat can be remove for cleaning purposes.
- a soft insert layer made of cotton, down or the like is preferably provided above a fabric or traction element layer of the lower part, which absorbs the longitudinal tensile forces, and possibly an insulation means connected or integrated therewith. This increases the comfort of the sleeper. Like an insulating material made of foam, this interlining layer cannot take on longitudinal tensile forces and must therefore be kept free of it by a layer of fabric or traction material.
- the load-bearing lines of force can be fanned out flatly, thereby avoiding pressure points when lying for a long time.
- two or more rope-shaped fastening elements can be provided at the head and / or foot end. This makes it possible to dispense with spreader bars as in the case of the previous invention, which results in the strength lines being straightened or free of kinks. Rather, it is possible to achieve a transverse arching of the hanging sleeping bag that already begins at the rope junction points, so that all parts of the body of the sleeper that influence the center of gravity, including his head and foot area, are stabilized.
- the material of the lower part of the sleeping bag can be largely kept free of strong tensile forces, so that the likelihood of tears is minimized.
- the fastening ropes can be guided in cavities, through channels or loops. In such a case is a side It is impossible to move the traction devices in relation to the lower part of the sleeping bag, which also has a stabilizing effect on the hanging sleeping bag.
- At least one pulling means can be attached to the head and / or foot end of the sleeping bag upper part.
- This traction means in particular rope, does not have to be combined with the other fastening elements, in particular ropes, but can be guided directly to the attachment point in question or to an even higher anchoring point, so that it proceeds as steeply as possible starting from the sleeping bag.
- Each lateral tilting movement of the hanging sleeping bag tightens this traction device and thus to a stabilizing restoring force.
- Fig. 1 a hanging sleeping bag according to the invention in a perspective
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the head part of the hanging sleeping bag from FIG.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 shows a blank for the lower part of the sleeping bag from FIGS. 1 and 2;
- FIG. 4 shows a cut for the lower part of another embodiment of a hanging sleeping bag according to the invention.
- Fig. 5 is a side view of a hanging sleeping bag, the lower part is made from the blank according to FIG. 4.
- the hanging sleeping bag 1 consists of a sleeping bag upper part 2, a sleeping bag lower part 3 and head and foot-side fastening elements which can be subjected to tension in the form of fastening cables 4, 5.
- the sleeping bag base 3 comprises three layers in this embodiment. In the middle there is a fabric layer 6, preferably made of a tear-resistant material such as nylon or the like. On this fabric layer 6, channels 7 running in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag 1 are provided for pulling in continuous fastening ropes 4, 5, which can be sewn, for example, by sewing on the longitudinal edges 8 can be formed by bands 9 on the top or bottom of the fabric layer 6.
- This insulation layer 10 can either be glued or sewn to the underside of the fabric layer 6 or detachable, for example fixed to it by (push) buttons.
- This layer 10 can also be omitted or integrated with the fabric layer 6. It can also be arranged above the fabric layer 6.
- a soft layer 11 for example an insert filled with down or the like, ensures a comfortable lying position of a sleeper 12.
- the lower part 3 of the sleeping bag, or at least its fabric and / or insulation layer 6, 10 is formed from a blank 13 which comprises a plurality of webs or strips 14 which preferably run approximately parallel to one another. These taper towards their ends 15, preferably along convex longitudinal edges 16.
- the webs or strips 14 can either be cut completely separately from one another or, for example, in the middle are connected to end cuts 27, as can be seen in FIG. 3 , Since the edges 28 of these incisions 27 each follow a convex line, the desired double-concave curvature of the lower part 3 of the sleeping bag (as seen from above) is obtained by sewing adjacent strips 14 along these edges 28. Approximately along the middle of each strip 14 each runs a channel 7 for pulling in one fastening cable 4, 5.
- the fastening ropes 4, 5 run continuously from, for example, an annular collecting element 17 at the head end 18 of the hanging sleeping bag 1 to a corresponding collecting element 19 at its foot end 20. So that the sleeping bag lower part 3 can form the double curvature shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the fastening cables 4, 5 running along its longitudinal side edges 21 should be shorter than the fastening ropes 4, 5 each running closer to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the sleeping bag 1. In the case of the fastening ropes 4, 5 shown in the drawing, which run a total of five along the bottom part 3 of the sleeping bag, the outermost ones are the shortest; the middle one is significantly longer.
- Ropes 4, 5 lying in between are in any case longer than those running along the longitudinal side edges 21, possibly even longer than the middle rope 4, 5. So that the sleeping bag bottom part 3 can understand the double arching as wrinkle-free as possible, the length of the strips 14 should Remove blank 13 from its longitudinal center line towards the side edges. So that adjacent strips 14 to be sewn together can nevertheless be assembled without problems, adjacent longitudinal edges 16 of different strips 14 should each have the same length, so that overall the blank 13 shown in FIG. 3 results, where the blank ends 22 of the webs 14 are inclined relative to the blank longitudinal axis run.
- the sleeping bag upper part 2 only has to consist of a single layer, but can, for example, be pillow-like with a thermally insulating filling. It can also be made from two layers with different properties, for example from a stabilization layer, which can have, for example, a net-like nature, and from an outer insulation layer, which can possibly be water-repellent or coated accordingly. Possibly.
- the insulation layer can be releasably connected to the stabilization layer, for example via zippers or Velcro fasteners or push buttons, in order to be able to open or remove the insulation layer if necessary to avoid heat build-up.
- the upper part 2 does not have to understand the double arching of the lower part 2, it can be made from a single contiguous blank.
- a face opening 23 is provided in the upper part 2 in order to enable a sleeper 12 to breathe. So that the face opening 23 maintains its shape even when the upper part 2 is subjected to tensile stress, a reinforcing element made of a solid but flexible material, for example plastic, or for example in the form of a flexible glass fiber rod, can be provided along its edge.
- the reinforcing element can be ring-shaped or C-shaped and possibly also adjustable in length.
- the reinforcing element can be arranged in a channel surrounding the face opening 23.
- the face opening 23 can be covered, for example, by a mosquito net or the like.
- the upper part 2 is further provided with a longitudinal and preferably central zipper 24.
- an emergency exit can be provided, which can preferably be arranged offset by approximately 90 ° along the sleeping bag cross section. It can be a second zipper or a Velcro or the like.
- the upper and lower parts 2, 3 can be sewn together along their edges 21, but a detachable connection could also be provided, for example with an all-round zipper or a (press) button row, so that the sleeping bag 1 can be converted into a conventional hammock can.
- a further rope 25, 26 acts on the upper part 2 in the region of the head and foot end 18, 20.
- the task of these ropes is an (additional) stabilization of the hanging sleeping bag 1 against lateral tendencies to tip over.
- These ropes 25, 26 do not have to be brought together with the other fastening ropes 4, 5 on the collecting elements 17, 18, but are guided directly to the actual fastening point, for example on a tree branch or the like or anchored further up so that they are as steep as possible.
- the stabilizing ropes 25, 26 are tensioned tightly and hold the sleeping bag 1 in the horizontal orientation according to FIGS. 1 and 2. This can occur with fastening points 4, 5 and / or diverent fastening points which are far apart and consequently have little sag Support people with a high focus.
- FIG. 4 shows an optimized blank 29 for a sleeping bag lower part 30 of a very stable hanging sleeping bag 31, which is shown in FIG. 5.
- a central section 32 with an approximately spindle-shaped edge, the course of which is adapted to the geometry of a human body. In the use position, this central section 32 forms the actual lying surface for the sleeper 12. With such a cut, the body shape of a sleeper 12 can be modeled. If necessary, a cut that is asymmetrical to a transversely oriented center line 37 is also possible, with which the wider body structure in the chest area can be matched in relation to the leg area.
- the middle part 32 is therefore delimited by two convex longitudinal edges 33 and two preferably also convex end faces 34.
- incisions 35 into the central part 32 from one or preferably both end faces 34, the edges 36 of which converge towards one another towards the transverse central axis 37 of the blank 29, and which preferably run along convex lines.
- These incisions 35 can also extend as far as the central axis 37 in that the strips 38 remaining between them are produced completely separately from one another.
- the two edge lines of the same incision 35 each have approximately identical lengths, so that they can be sewn together without an overhang.
- the dash-dotted cut of an alternative middle part 32 ' shows a shape adapted to a human body. It can be seen that this is no longer symmetrical about a transverse central axis 37. Rather, the blank 32 'is widest in the area of a person's shoulders, that is to say in the head-side half, and becomes too narrow at the feet. This will The body of a sleeper is always offered a sufficient lying surface, which has a beneficial effect on a flat position, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag 1.
- the blank 29 also has two edge or side strips 39 adjoining the longitudinal edges 33 of the central portion 32, which are arranged symmetrically to a longitudinal central axis 40 of the blank.
- edge or side strips 39 have approximately the shape of a banana or a clamp that is open to the outside, so that the overall arrangement takes on approximately the shape) 0.
- edge or side strips 39 are also separated from the central section 32 by incisions 41, which in the borderline case can extend to the transverse central axis 37, namely when the side strips 39 are cut completely separately.
- the outer edge curves 42 of the side or edge strips 39 are concavely curved, and the width of these strips 39 is approximately constant in the central section near the transverse central axis 37.
- the radius of curvature on the outer edge 43 of the incision 41 decreases approximately at a distance from this central axis 37, which corresponds to approximately one third of the total length of the blank 29; in extreme cases there is a bend 44 to the outside, for example at an angle of 30 ° to 45 °, so that from then on the longitudinal edges 42, 43 of a side strip 39 converge strongly towards one another and finally approach one another or in extreme cases in one hit tip 45 pointing outwards.
- an edge region with a small radius of curvature can also be provided.
- the lying surface corresponding to the central section 32 hangs down heavily in the area near the fastening points 46, 47, so that the head 48 and feet 49 of the sleeper 12 also lie clearly below the side edge 42 and therefore have a stable and, moreover, extremely comfortable position.
