Pillowcase and Blanket Combination Device

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a combination pillowcase and blanket device with a pocket therein for receipt of a portion of a user's head that enables a user to (i) sleep or rest in a darkened environment, even in the presence of sunlight and/or ambient light; and (ii) selectively experience the cooling/warming effects of different materials during periods of rest. More specifically, the blanket portion has opposing sides, each of which is comprised of a different material, and is selectively repositionable between a first position and a second position. When the blanket portion is in the first position, the user is exposed to one of said opposing sides and a first material. When the blanket portion is in a second position, the user is exposed to the other of said opposing sides and a different material.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A combination device comprising:
 a pillowcase portion; and   a blanket portion attached to said pillowcase portion and forming a pocket for receipt of a user's head.   
     
     
         2 . The combination device of  claim 1 , wherein said blanket portion is comprised of a first side comprised of a first material and an opposing second side comprised of a second material. 
     
     
         3 . The combination device of  claim 2 , wherein said first material is different than said second material. 
     
     
         4 . The combination device of  claim 2 , wherein said first material is comprised of silk. 
     
     
         5 . The combination device of  claim 2 , wherein said first material is comprised of flannel. 
     
     
         6 . The combination device of  claim 2 , wherein said blanket portion is capable of being selectively repositioned between a first position wherein said first side faces in the general direction of the pillowcase portion, and a second position wherein said first side faces away from said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         7 . The combination device of  claim 1 , wherein said pillowcase portion further comprises an opening for receipt of a pillow and wherein said blanket portion is sewn to at least one end of said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         8 . The combination device of  claim 1 , wherein said blanket portion is further comprised of a width between a pair of opposing ends of said blanket portion, and said pillowcase portion is also comprised of a width between a pair of opposing sides, wherein the width of said blanket portion is greater than the width of said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         9 . The combination device of  claim 1 , wherein said blanket portion is further comprised of a top and a bottom and a length between said top and bottom, and said pillowcase portion is comprised of a top portion and a bottom portion and a length between said top portion and said bottom portion, wherein the length of said blanket portion is less than the length of said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         10 . A combination device comprising:
 a pillowcase portion comprised of a top portion, a bottom portion, a pair of opposing sides and an exterior surface; and   a blanket portion comprised of a top, a bottom and a pair of opposing ends, wherein said blanket portion is attached to said pillowcase portion along said top and said pair of opposing ends.   
     
     
         11 . The combination device of  claim 10 , wherein said combination device further comprises a pocket for receipt of a user's head. 
     
     
         12 . The combination device of  claim 10 , wherein said blanket portion is comprised of a first side comprised of a first material and an opposing second side comprised of a second material. 
     
     
         13 . The combination device of  claim 12 , wherein said pocket is formed by the exterior surface and one of said first side or said second side of blanket portion. 
     
     
         14 . The combination device of  claim 12 , wherein said first material is different than said second material. 
     
     
         15 . The combination device of  claim 12 , wherein said blanket portion is capable of being selectively repositioned between a first position wherein said first side faces in the general direction of the pillowcase portion, and a second position wherein said first side faces away from said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         16 . The combination device of  claim 10 , wherein said blanket portion is further comprised of a width between said pair of opposing ends and said pillowcase portion is also comprised of a width between said pair of opposing sides, wherein the width of said blanket portion is greater than the width of said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         17 . The combination device of  claim 10 , wherein said blanket portion is further comprised of a length between said top and bottom of blanket portion and said pillowcase portion is comprised of a length between said top portion and said bottom portion, wherein the length of said blanket portion is less than the length of said pillowcase portion. 
     
     
         18 . A combination device comprising:
 a pillowcase portion comprised of a top portion, a bottom portion, a pair of opposing sides; and   a blanket portion attached to said pillowcase portion and comprised of a top, a bottom, a pair of opposing ends, a first side and an opposing second side, wherein said first side is comprised of a first material and said opposing second side is comprised of a second material that is different than the first material.   
     
     
         19 . The combination device of  claim 18 , wherein said pillowcase portion and said blanket portion form a pocket for receipt of a user's head. 
     
     
         20 . The combination device of  claim 18 , wherein said blanket portion is selectively repositioned between a first position and a second position, wherein said first side faces in the general direction of the pillowcase portion when the blanket portion is in the second position.
