Fabric article

Abstract

An article of fabric manufacture adaptable as a bedding article to accommodate and cover more than one person sharing a bed while providing a freedom to each of the persons to individually wrap into a respectively corresponding portion of the article. In one embodiment, the article includes a foldable sheet having a perimeter defining a concave polygon with an interior angle of about 360 degrees. In another embodiment, first and second sheets are appropriately affixed to each other at the corresponding corners to define such polygon and, optionally, to define a portion of one of the first sheet that folds over the second sheet, preferably along the substantial portion of or substantially along the whole length of the second sheet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An article of manufacture, comprising a first foldable sheet having
 a perimeter defining a concave polygon and a first interior angle;   a length defined by a longitudinal side of said polygon; and   a first width defined by two corners of said polygon and at least one side connecting said two corners, said longitudinal side and said at least one side being transverse to one another.   
     
     
         2 . An article according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one side includes two sides of said polygon, said two sides being oblique to one another. 
     
     
         3 . An article according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one side includes two sides of said polygon that form an interior angle, of said polygon, said interior angle being less than 180 degrees. 
     
     
         4 . An article according to  claim 1 , wherein said concave polygon is symmetrical with respect to a bisector line bisecting the first interior angle. 
     
     
         5 . An article according to  claim 4 , wherein said bisector is oblique with respect to the longitudinal side of the polygon. 
     
     
         6 . An article according to  claim 1 , wherein said longitudinal side and said at least one side form an angle of about 90 degrees. 
     
     
         7 . An article according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second width defined by second and third sides of said polygon. 
     
     
         8 . An article according to  claim 7 , wherein the second and third sides are symmetrical to one another with respect to the bisector. 
     
     
         9 . An article according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second foldable sheet affixed to the first foldable sheet along a side of said polygon that defines the first interior angle. 
     
     
         10 . A bedding article including an article of manufacture according to  claim 1  and defining, when the bedding article is straightened out along a plane, two overlapping flaps equipped with a means for releasable attachments of said flaps to one another. 
     
     
         11 . An article of manufacture comprising
 a first foldable sheet having a first length, a first width, and a first corner; and   a second foldable sheet having a second length, a second width, and a second corner, the first and second sheets affixed to one another at the first and second corners to define a portion of the first foldable sheet that overlaps the second foldable sheet, said portion extending along the second length of the second foldable sheet when the bedding article is spread out.   
     
     
         12 . An article according to  claim 11 , wherein the first foldable sheet and the second foldable sheet are disattached across said portion. 
     
     
         13 . An article according to  claim 11 , wherein said portion extends from the first corner to a next corner of said first sheet. 
     
     
         14 . An article according to  claim 11 , wherein the first and second lengths are about equal to one another. 
     
     
         15 . An article according to  claim 11 , wherein the second widths is larger than the first width. 
     
     
         16 . A bedding article including an article of manufacture according to  claim 11 , the bedding article including two overlapping flaps releasably attachable to one another with a means for attachment disposed along a length of at least one of the flaps. 
     
     
         17 . An article according to  claim 11 , further comprising means for affixing said article to a bed. 
     
     
         18 . A method for fabrication of a fabric article, the method comprising:
 positioning a first foldable sheet having a first length, first width and first corner with respect to a second foldable sheet having a second length, second width and second corner such as to partially overlap the first and second foldable sheets to form an overlap area extending from the first and second corners along the first length; and   affixing the first and second foldable sheets to one another in a first portion of the overlap area corresponding to the first and second corners such as to keep the first and second foldable sheets disattached in a second portion of the overlap area.   
     
     
         19 . A method according to  claim 18 , wherein the affixing includes affixing removably. 
     
     
         20 . A method according to  claim 18 , wherein said positioning includes formation of an overlap area that is substantially coextensive with the first length, the overlap area defining a rectangle.
