Composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus

Abstract

A composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus for selective use as a jacket and a sleeping bag. The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus comprises a base jacket having an attached expandable hood and an inflatable air mattress pack. The base jacket is converted from a jacket configuration to a sleeping bag configuration by unzipping and opening it, unfolding both a fold out leg extension and a fold out top cover, and then connecting the sides of the fold out top cover to the sides of the opened base jacket and fold out leg extension, thereby forming a substantial enclosure in which a user can rest. In this configuration, the inflatable air mattress pack can be deployed to provide addition support to a user laying on the opened base jacket and fold out leg extension.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus, comprising:
 a base jacket adapted to be placed in a closed position and an open position;   a leg extension section embedded in said base jacket, wherein said leg extension section is configured to fold down from the base jacket when in the open position;   a top cover section connected to said leg extension section, wherein said top cover section is configured to fold down from the leg extension section once the leg extension section has been folded down from the base jacket; and   said top cover section adapted to be positioned on top of the opened base jacket and leg extension section.   
     
     
         2 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base jacket includes an inflatable air mattress pack that can be deployed into an inflated air mattress positioned adjacent to the opened base jacket and leg extension section. 
     
     
         3 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base jacket includes an expandable hood. 
     
     
         4 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the top cover section is configured to fold down in two sections. 
     
     
         5 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base jacket includes a pair of sleeves. 
     
     
         6 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base jacket includes a collar section. 
     
     
         7 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base jacket is adapted to be placed in a closed position and an open position through a central zipper regulated closeable opening. 
     
     
         8 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the top cover section is configured to selectively create a substantial enclosure with the opened base jacket and leg extension section through the connection of a second enclosure zipper on both side ends of the top cover section to the opened central zipper on both side ends of the opened base jacket and a first enclosure zipper on both side ends of the leg extension section. 
     
     
         9 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the top cover section includes a bottom zipper, thereby additionally configuring it to selectively create a full enclosure. 
     
     
         10 . The composite jacket and sleeping bag apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said leg extension section is configured to fold down from the base jacket by unzipping a top zipper inside the base jacket and flipping the leg extension section down from the base jacket, pivoting just above the bottom of the base jacket.
