Hooded shoulder wrap garment

Abstract

A hooded shoulder wrap for allowing a user to cover their upper body while in a bed or chair without restricting mobility. The hooded shoulder wrap includes a trapezoidal base section operative to be wrapped around the neck, shoulder and upper torso area of a user, a hood member for use to cover the head and neck, and two sleeve sections through which a user can selectively slide their arms. In use, the hooded shoulder wrap may be advantageously employed in addition to conventional blankets to optimally cover a user, with the blankets covering the user's entire lower body and lower torso and the hooded shoulder wrap covering the upper torso, shoulders and head/neck.

1 . A hooded shoulder wrap, comprising:
 an elongated base section having an upper edge, a lower edge, and opposing side edges, wherein the elongated base section is adapted to partially cover an upper torso of a user;   a hood member integral with the base section and positioned to extend beyond the upper edge; and   at least one sleeve section defining a tubular body which extends from the base section.   
     
     
         2 . The hooded shoulder wrap of  claim 1 , wherein two mirror image sleeve sections extend from said base section. 
     
     
         3 . The hooded shoulder wrap of  claim 1 , wherein said upper edge is shorter in length than the lower edge. 
     
     
         4 . The hooded shoulder wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the opposing side edges include opposing sections of a fastener system, thereby enabling the opposing side edges to be releasably fastened together so as to configure the hooded shoulder wrap to be moved from an open configuration to a closed configuration. 
     
     
         5 . A hooded shoulder wrap, comprising:
 an elongated base section having an upper edge, a lower edge, and opposing side edges, wherein two mirror image sleeve sections extend from said base section, wherein the elongated base section is adapted to partially cover an upper torso of a user;   a hood member integral with the base section and positioned to extend beyond the upper edge; and   a pair of mirror image sleeves, wherein each sleeve defines a tubular body which extends from the base section.   
     
     
         6 . The hooded shoulder wrap of  claim 5 , wherein the opposing side edges include opposing sections of a fastener system, thereby enabling the opposing side edges to be releasably fastened together so as to configure the hooded shoulder wrap to be moved from an open configuration to a closed configuration.
