Insulation for attic access

Abstract

An insulation device lays on top of an attic access, insulating the access, and prevents heat loss, heat radiation and cold or hot air from flowing into the home. Because the insulation device of the present invention lays on top of the attic access, and insulates all sides of the access at a consistent R-value, the insulation device is a more complete insulation system as compared to conventional systems that merely create a dead air space at the attic access. The insulation device may be hingedly attached at one end of the attic access to allow a user to easily open and close the insulation device accurately over the opening.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An attic access covering insulation bag comprising:
 an insulating material;   an inner bag encasing the insulating material;   an outer bag covering the inner bag;   a flap formed along one end of the insulation bag; and   a plurality of holes formed in the flap.   
     
     
         2 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of grommets disposed about the plurality of holes. 
     
     
         3 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one handle disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         4 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one handle is one handle centrally disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         5 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one handle is two handles disposed at corners of the outer bag at corners opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         6 . An attic access covering insulation bag comprising:
 an insulating material;   an inner bag encasing the insulating material;   an outer bag covering the inner bag;   a flap formed along one end of the insulation bag;   a plurality of holes formed in the flap;   a plurality of grommets disposed about the plurality of holes; and   at least one handle disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap.   
     
     
         7 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one handle is one handle centrally disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         8 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one handle is two handles disposed at corners of the outer bag at corners opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         9 . An attic access opening insulation system comprising:
 an insulating material;   an inner bag encasing the insulating material;   an outer bag covering the inner bag;   a flap formed along one end of the insulation bag;   a plurality of holes formed in the flap; and   a plurality of screw eyes having a first end attachable to attic framing and a second end forming an eye threaded into the holes.   
     
     
         10 . The attic access opening insulation system of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a plurality of grommets disposed about the plurality of holes; and   at least one handle disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap.   
     
     
         11 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one handle is one handle centrally disposed on the outer bag opposite the end having the flap. 
     
     
         12 . The attic access covering insulation bag of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one handle is two handles disposed at corners of the outer bag at corners opposite the end having the flap.
