ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Sleeping pads and backpacks are routinely carried by campers. However, they are usually separate items. U.S. Pat. No. 2,133,717 is a sleeping bag which can be folded up so that it can be carried on a person's back. The unit when folded affords a plurality of storage pockets for blankets and other necessities. U.S. Pat. No. 3,730,407 is a combination backpack and cot. There are also many sleeping pads or mats which can be folded up and carried in a bag of some type.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention involves a padded sleeping pad which when folded and held together by zippers that are provided creates a backpack which can contain a large number of items which the average camper would need for his camping trip. When the contents from the backpack are removed and the zippers are unzipped and the backpack is laid out, it becomes a padded sleeping pad.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a combination sleeping pad and backpack which is comfortable to use.
It is another object of this invention to create a combination sleeping pad and backpack which may be readily converted from one form to another.
This, together with other objects of the invention, will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.
