Textile articles are readily convertible between stowed and unstowed configurations. The convertible articles include an outer cover portion and an inner textile portion. The outer cover portion forms an interior cavity having an opening therethrough, and the inner textile portion has a free end and an opposite bottom end. In the stowed configuration, the inner textile portion is stowed within the interior cavity of the outer cover portion such that the article forms a pillow, cushion, pad, or the like. In the unstowed configuration, the free end of the inner textile portion extends through the opening of the outer cover portion and the bottom end is attached to the interior cavity, such that the article forms a blanket, a quilt, a sleeping bag, a garment, or the like.

A covering is disclosed that is designed to protect the lower region of a user while seated on a seat. The covering includes a front portion and a back portion, with both being formed from a pliable material. The front portion and the back portion are connected to form a pocket, with the front portion and the back portion further defining an opening configured to receive legs of the user. Further, a flap is connected to and extends from an end of the back portion proximal the opening, the flap being configured to be sat on by the user.

An article is provided that permits a user to stay comfortable and warm in nearly any situation involving a chair or seat. The article includes a blanket portion that is connected to an elastic or inelastic fabric cover/pocket, which can be sleeved over the back of a chair. The cover keeps the blanket securely held in place on the chair. The design permits users to quickly move the blanket from one chair to the next, quickly get in and out of the chair, and quickly secure the blanket in the configuration that achieves the desired level of comfort and warmth. The design purposefully allows the user to cover the front and the back of their bodies. One or more detachable ‘seat belts’ connect the sides of the blanket, one to one another, creating an adjustable, custom, snug fit. Because the legs and feet are secure inside the blanket, the blanket is kept away from office chair wheels when rolling an office chair, thus the blanket does not get stuck in or under the wheels. The blanket has a foot placement area which is constituted of a layer of fabric with qualities that allows the user to wear shoes or enter with soiled feet without concern that it will damage or soil the inside of the blanket. The blanket may be folded and stored in the elastic fabric chair back cover, for use as a pillow or for easy travel/storage with one or more carry straps.

A protective device for maintaining body temperature in a living being is provided. The inventive protective device comprises a first sheet member having a left portion and a right portion. The first sheet member has a left edge and a right edge. A first channel member defines structure defining a first channel. The first channel member defines structure which is secured to and overlies a first portion of the left portion of the first sheet member and overlies a first portion of the right portion of the first sheet member. A second channel defining structure defines a second channel, the second channel defining structure secured to and overlying a second portion of the left portion of the first sheet member and overlying a second portion of the right portion of the first sheet member. Each of the channels have a first side and an opposite side opposite the first side. A variable length member is disposed on and extends along the length of each of the channels. There is a connection structure positioned proximate the left edge; and a mating connection structure positioned proximate the right edge.

The present invention is a travel pillow device, and a method of manufacture for a travel pillow comprised of five fabric layers wherein the first two fabric layers are stacked and folded to create a stuff-able pillow pocket, the third fabric layer is folded and stacked in alignment with the pillow pocket forming an exterior pocket, the fourth fabric layer is folded and stacked in alignment with the pillow pocket and exterior pocket forming an interior pocket, and the fifth fabric layer is formed into a strap and attached to the underside of the interior pocket wherein the edges of the stack of folded fabric elements are sewn in a single sewing operation and then the pillow pocket is then stuffed and the interior pocket is pulled inside out forming a travel pillow.

A travel pillow system includes an outer sleeve with a first end reversibly connectable to a second end. The outer sleeve may be stuffed or filled with a blanket to form an infinity scarf or neck pillow that may be used in a variety of configurations to support the neck, head, back, shoulders, etc., and also be used as a light-blocking pillow. The sleeve may be provided with a pocket for holding items such as ID cards, keys, credit cards, and other travel essentials. A pillowcase may also be provided and the blanket may be removed from the outer sleeve and used to fill the pillowcase. The blanket may also be secured around a user and include pockets for a user's hands.

The present invention relates to a wearable blanket usable as a blanket, a towel, a wrap, and worn fashionably as a skirt. The front and back fabric panels are trapezoids in shape. Pockets are formed by pocket bags that are positioned between the front and back fabric layers and aligned with seams in the front panel allowing a person to insert their hands into the pocket bags when wearing the wearable blanket. A stretchable belt tab is stretchable, has a hook-and-loop surface portion, and is fastened along an edge of the wearable blanket. A belt receiver has a hook-and-loop portion and is fastened to the front fabric panel. The belt receiver fastens with the stretchable belt tab in a stretched orientation. The recoil force of the stretchable belt tab pulls the top edge of the wearable blanket snuggly around the waist or torso of the person wearing the wearable blanket.

A protective device for maintaining body temperature in a living being is provided. The inventive protective device comprises a first sheet member having a left portion and a right portion. The first sheet member has a left edge and a right edge. A first channel member defines structure defining a first channel. The first channel member defines structure which is secured to and overlies a first portion of the left portion of the first sheet member and overlies a first portion of the right portion of the first sheet member. A second channel defining structure defines a second channel, the second channel defining structure secured to and overlying a second portion of the left portion of the first sheet member and overlying a second portion of the right portion of the first sheet member. Each of the channels have a first side and an opposite side opposite the first side. A variable length member is disposed on and extends along the length of each of the channels. There is a connection structure positioned proximate the left edge; and a mating connection structure positioned proximate the right edge.

A Blanket with tuck flaps with a sheet of flexible material, a hood member, a left tuck flap member, a right tuck flap member, a shoulder support member, and an arm support member. The planar sheet is wide enough to cover the front surface of an average person. The left and right side tuck flaps extend from the right side and left side of the sheet at the thigh level of the user. The shoulder support member is attached to the top of the planar sheet and supports the blanket on the user's shoulders. The hood is attached to the top side of the planar panel. The user's head protrudes through an aperture between the top of the planar panel and the shoulder support member. The arm support is attached at its top and bottom edge to the inside of the planar sheet at the location of the user's torso.

A blanket convertible into an article of clothing and a method of using the blanket for protection against the elements by converting the blanket into an article of clothing and donning the article of clothing. The blanket is a planar expanse, having an inner layer of a thermal insulating textile, and an outer layer of a water repellant or waterproof material. A first fastening device is configured and arranged on the expanse within an upper margin for user selective attachment of laterally spaced portions of the upper margin to one another to form a neck opening. A second fastening device is configured and arranged on the expanse within at least one side margin proximate a lower margin for user selective attachment of the side margins to one another.
