Hammock With An Integrated Insulation Section

Abstract

A hammock is provided and includes a bed layer and an insulation section. The insulation section is connected to a bottom surface of the bed layer using a mechanical joint and includes a plurality of baffle boxes containing insulating material.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hammock comprising:
 a bed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; and   an insulation section containing insulating material and irremovably connected to the lower surface of the bed layer, the insulation section is coplanar with the lower surface of the bed layer; and the insulation section occupies less than a full area of the bed layer.   
     
     
         2 . The hammock of  claim 1 , wherein the insulation section has a plurality of baffle boxes. 
     
     
         3 . The hammock of  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of partitions dividing the insulation section into separate baffle boxes from the plurality of baffle boxes and running longitudinally or laterally. 
     
     
         4 . The hammock of  claim 3 , wherein each partition is an interior wall or barrier dividing the insulation section into separate areas and running longitudinally along the insulation section. 
     
     
         5 . The hammock of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of partitions is secured to an upper insulating section surface and to a lower insulating section surface. 
     
     
         6 . A hammock comprising:
 a bed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, an edging of the bed layer substantially tapering towards a central region of the bed layer; and   an insulation section containing insulating material and fixed to the lower surface of the bed layer through a mechanical joint that does not penetrate the bed layer or the insulation section and forms a plurality of baffle boxes running diagonally across the bed layer.   
     
     
         7 . The hammock of  claim 6 , wherein the insulation section shares a vertical wall of a binding with the upper surface and lower surface of the bed layer. 
     
     
         8 . The hammock of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of baffle boxes are positioned between an upper surface and a lower surface of the insulation section by the use of the mechanical joint. 
     
     
         9 . The hammock of  claim 8 , wherein a lower surface of a first baffle box and a lower surface of a second baffle box abut. 
     
     
         10 . The hammock of  claim 9 , wherein a closed gap is formed between the first baffle box and the second baffle box. 
     
     
         11 . A hammock comprising:
 a bed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;   an insulation section containing insulating material and fixed to the bed layer, the insulation section occupies less than a full area of the bed layer, the insulation section having a plurality of baffle boxes formed between an upper surface and a lower surface of the insulation section, the lower surface of the insulation section having a length greater than the upper surface of the insulation section.   
     
     
         12 . The hammock of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of partitions dividing the insulation section into individual baffle boxes from the plurality of baffle boxes and running longitudinally and diagonally across the bed layer. 
     
     
         13 . The hammock of  claim 12 , wherein the bed layer is substantially rectilinear. 
     
     
         14 . The hammock of  claim 13 , wherein the insulation section is substantially rectilinear and oriented longitudinally and is substantially in a proximal end of the bed layer and running towards a distal end of the bed layer. 
     
     
         15 . The hammock of  claim 14 , wherein a mechanical joint is secured along a perimeter of the insulation section using hot adhesive or sonic welding. 
     
     
         16 . The hammock of  claim 15 , wherein a first baffle box has a lower surface and an upper surface. 
     
     
         17 . The hammock of  claim 16 , wherein a second baffle box has a lower surface and an upper surface. 
     
     
         18 . The hammock of  claim 17 , wherein the lower surface of the first baffle box and the lower surface of the second baffle box are continuous. 
     
     
         19 . The hammock of  claim 18 , wherein the lower surface of the first baffle box and the second baffle box is separated from the upper surface of the first baffle box and the second baffle box by a joining material. 
     
     
         20 . The hammock of  claim 19 , wherein the upper surface of the first baffle box and the upper surface of the second baffle box are continuous.
