ABSTRACT:
A sleeping bag carrying and storage enclosure (10) is disclosed and has as its two main components a sleeping bag cover (11) and automatic closure system (21). Sleeping bag cover (11) is configured to receive a standard rectangular sleeping bag (1) in its unrolled position and the automatic closure system (21) configured to latch automatically in response to the sleeping bag being rolled up into its normal storage position. The automatic closure system has strategically placed fabric hook and latch fasteners (22) and (23), more commonly known by its brand name VELCRO.TM.. Here, a pair of first portions of fabric hook and closure fastener (22) are fixed at points on the upper sky facing surface (16) of head panel portion (15), each toward the marginal side edges of the head panel portion. Cooperating second portions of fabric hook and latch fasteners (23) are fixed to the lower ground facing surface (17) at points beginning at a distance from the first pair of fasteners approximately equal to, but slightly less than, the circumference of the sleeping bag when it is in a rolled-up state, such that the fasteners latch automatically as a consequence of the sleeping bag being rolled up.
