Insulated tarpaulin

Abstract

The present invention regards an insulated tarpaulin and method for producing same insulated tarpaulin consisting of at least two layers of fabric further characterized by that at least a first layer of fabric has means for securing at least one piece of insulation to it and a second layer of fabric connected to said first layer of fabric and at least one valve attached to said tarpaulin.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Insulated tarpaulin comprising at least two layers of fabric and at least one piece of insulation, wherein the insulation is attached to one or both of the layers of fabric with at least two fastening means, said first and a second layer of fabric are welded together around the edges, and at least one valve is attached to said tarpaulin. 
     
     
         2 . Insulated tarpaulin as described in  claim 1  is further characterized by that said means for securing at least one piece of insulation to at least a first layer of fabric consists of at least a pair of straps. 
     
     
         3 . Insulated tarpaulin as described in  claim 1  is further characterized by that said means for securing at least one piece of insulation to said at least a first layer of fabric can be hook- and loop fasteners, buttons, glue or rope. 
     
     
         4 . Method for insulating a tarpaulin comprising at least two layers of fabric and at least one piece of insulation, wherein said insulation has at least two perforations, through which a pair of straps, connected to said first layer of fabric, are guided and connected to each other, a second layer of fabric is further connected to said first layer of fabric. 
     
     
         5 . Method for insulating a tarpaulin as described in  claim 4  wherein said first layer of fabric can be attached to said second layer of fabric by using a bonnet/eyelet, zipper, Velcro, welding or gluing. 
     
     
         6 . Method for insulating a tarpaulin as described in  claim 4  wherein said second layer of fabric is attached to said at least first layer of fabric by either gluing or welding. 
     
     
         7 . Method for insulating a tarpaulin as described in  claim 4  wherein a valve is placed in said tarpaulin for letting a gas in or out.
