Abstract:
The sculpture or bendy blanket has a resilient bendable grid frame assembly which allows the sculpture blanket to have all the properties of any blanket and a new aspect of the ability to independently hold usual and unusual forms and shapes. The sculpture blanket is bendable, resilient, able to be sculpted and molded, is formable, adjustable, and able to be articulated into a multitude number of abstract and unusual nonstandard forms for fabric material, and hold its shape until manipulated into a new form by the user; while at the same time provides coziness, warmth, entertainment and protection against environmental elements. The sculpture blanket is resilient, and therefore, constructed using a material that has a property that will allow it to be bent and reformed repeatedly, without damaging the frame, of the frame losing its properties over time to bend or hold the desired shape.

       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0005]    People use blankets as a conventional device to cover themselves in order to protect the body from exposure to temperatures or other environmental conditions or hazards. In addition, caregivers of infants also use blankets to function as positioning aids for their infants in situations where they might need to prop-up various body parts of an infant. In many instances, a blanket is rolled-up and used as a device to block an infant&#39;s path from rolling off of an elevated platform such as a bed or couch and sustaining an injury from a fall. In other cases blankets are rolled-up and placed around the exterior of an infant&#39;s body, to prohibit a child from roiling over, and/or force a child to lay on its back, side(s), or stomach. Blankets are also used to cover an infant and women while breastfeeding or nursing; thereby also serving as aid to cover a woman&#39;s breast during nursing sessions. Blankets are also used as positioning aids for other paraphernalia related to infants and children such as bottles, clothing articles, toys, etcetera. Blankets are also used in a traditional method to hold and/or swaddle an infant or small child. In addition, blankets are used in emergency or medical situations, for travel, storage, packing; and a multitude of other makeshift purposes. 
         [0006]    In all of these various uses for a blanket, in many instances the fabric used to construct the blanket is fluid and highly flexible, and therefore subject to slippage and lack of conformity to the originally constructed shape since the blanket easily shifts.

Framer do to fully address the need flexibility and variability of the design specified in the present invention. 
         [0008]    The use of a blanket in these various forms, as a restraining device to constrain and infant&#39;s position, to cover an infant or nursing mother, to cover an adult, to function as a makeshift pillow, and/or as a positioning aid is unsatisfactory since it is a makeshift expedient and easily changes and shifts shape and form. In addition, it can be dangerous to an infant and/or child since the blanket material can shift into a position where it can cover an infant or child&#39;s face in a manner which will obstruct or restrict airflow and the ability of the child to breathe freely. 
         [0009]    In general, the fabric used and the construction design of a blanket does not allow a blanket to independently hold its shape or form. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0010]    The present invention provides a novel, easily bendable grid frame assembly and foam cushioned supported sculpture blanket which is weighted to stay in place. The novel aspect of the invention is that it is a sculpture blanket which is bendable, sculpted, formable, adjustable, and able to be articulated into abstract and unusual nonstandard forms for fabric material, and hold its shape until manipulated into a new form by the user; while at the same time provides coziness, warmth, entertainment and protection against environmental elements. The present invention includes a sculpture blanket with an internal soft foam body or form, within which a hermetically sealed, bendable polymeric material covered grid frame is encapsulated. The foam body is covered with a blanketed outer layer which can be easily removed and washed. In addition, there is an additional outer blanket attachment which can be used as a standard traditional blanket, or substituted as storage chamber, a toy and/or learning device; and can be easily removed and washed; however, the additional external blanket is not required for use of the sculpture blanket. 
         [0011]    The internally disposed, bendable grid frame assembly core permits the sculpture blanket to be easily formed into any desired shape so that the blanket thereof can be closely formed about the infant, child or adult. For example, the sculpture blanket can be formed in a manner to surround and support the infant or adult in a side or back laying position or alternatively to constrain an infant in a supine position. Due to the novel character of the inclusion bendable grid rods, the sculpture blanket will retain its shape until manually reshaped by the caregiver or adult user. The substantial weight of the internally disposed, bendable grid rods, tend to effectively resist shifting of the sculpture blanket as the infant, child or adult moves. Because of the novel design of the device it is readily usable with both infants and adults and uniquely provides support to any person at strategically chosen locations. Due to the novel character of the sculpture blanket containing compartments in which to attach another duplicate sculpture blanket, or other material, fabric or elements which contain sections and compartments or is constructed of a material which will adhere to a hook and loop fastening system. The invention uniquely provides modularity, and a method to increase the dimensions and size of the sculpture blanket. 
         [0012]    The objective of the present invention is to provide an easily bendable and sculpture blanket which will serve as a traditional blanket which can be safely formed about an infant, child or adult to provide restraint against movement of the person; to stabilize areas of the body, to provide comfort, entertainment, protection from environmental elements, increased security, and privacy. 
         [0013]    Another objective of the invention is to provide a blanket which is sculpture and can hold a form without a human being physically having to hold it in place or prop with makeshift expedients, and therefore will stay securely in place about the infant, child or adult. 
         [0014]    Another objective of the invention is to provide a sculpture blanket which can also function as a support device for infants, children or adults.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0046]      FIG. 1  depicts the front side of sculpture blanket  10 , which contains the opening  12  to access the inner core of the sculpture blanket  10 , the hook and loop fastener sections and compartments  14 , and the optional additional blanket  16 . At  FIG. 1 , the front side of additional blanket  16  is depicted as  16   a , sculpture blanket  10  should have two panels of fabric material and/or cloth; and be constructed in a way that the two panels of material and/or cloth are attached and closed by a seam on all sides, but contains an inner hollowed-out core. The back of sculpture blanket  10  is completely plain fabric and does not contain features of  12 ,  14  or  16 . The material from which sculpture blanket  10  is constructed should be light in weight, and flexible, can be derived from almost any fabric, but the most optimal fabric would be a breathable fabric consisting of a cotton and/or elastic blend, synthetic materials, natural and/or biodegradable type fabric or materials, or a polyester blend which is nonflammable and easy to launder. As shown in  FIG. 1 , sculpture blanket  10  is a four-sided blanket, and may be of any length or height.  FIG. 1  depicts sculpture blanket  10  with exemplary dimensions with almost equal sides of 35 to 36 inches for the length and height. The width or ‘thickness’ of sculpture blanket  10  should allow sculpture blanket  10  to be easily manipulated, light in weight and flexible. 
         [0047]    Sculpture blanket  10  contains an inner core, which is accessed through the opening  12  to the inner core of the sculpture blanket  10 , and of which can be sealed by a zipper, closed-folds similar to that of a duvet covering a comforter with snap metal or plastic fasteners closures, or no closures at all and thus closed by using natural folds of cloth to conceal the inner core, or a closure. The opening  12  to access to the inner core of the sculpture blanket  10 , can also alternatively be installed at the top seam line of sculpture blanket  10 ; or anywhere else on the sculpture blanket  10 . Sculpture blanket  10  has additional modularity in the form of hook and loop fastener sections and compartments  14 ; which are depicted as being closed, where one side is a hook fastener strip and the other side is a loop fastener strip. The hook and loop fastener sections and compartments  14  are attached to sculpture blanket  10  and surround the entire periphery of the sculpture blanket  10 ; however, any type of fastener system can be used as a tool to attach other blankets. In addition, the length and overall dimensions of the hook and loop fastener sections and compartments  14  can be adjusted to fit the parameters and requirements of the sculpture blanket  10  as it is modified or developed. The additional blanket  16  is an added feature to sculpture blanket  10 , and is not necessary in the function of sculpture blanket  10 . 
         [0048]      FIG. 2  depicts the back side or under side of additional blanket  16 , depicted as  16   b . Additional blanket  16  contains an inner core access opening  18 , which can be constructed in the same method described as that of  12  in  FIG. 1 . The inner core of additional blanket  16  can be used as a storage compartment. The inner core of additional blanket  16  can also be used as a compartment in which to insert additional accessories consisting of sensory sounds or textures. The inner core of additional blanket  16  can also be used as a compartment in which to insert heating or cooling pads, mats and/or other devices. The inner compartment of additional blanket  16  is an element to enhance the uses and functionality of both sculpture blanket  10  and additional blanket  16 ; but can also have the option of not being used at all if preferred. In addition, the same features of additional blanket  16  can be substituted by and applied to sculpture blanket  10 . 
         [0049]    Additional blanket  16  does not necessarily have to be detached from sculpture blanket  10 ; or constructed as a part of the invention sculpture blanket  10 . Additional blanket  16  might in fact reduce the functionality of sculpture blanket  10  when sculpture blanket  10  is folded or contorted since it might or could add additional weight and size to sculpture blanket  10 ; and therefore sculpture blanket  10 , when used together with additional blanket  16 , would function better in a simple flattened position as depicted in  FIG. 1 . Additional blanket  16  is attached to sculpture blanket  10  by hook fastener strips  20 . Depending on the materials used to construct sculpture blanket  10 , a hook and look fastener system can be constructed on sculpture blanket  10  and additional blanket  16  to keep the blankets attached; or additional blanket  16  can be attached to sculpture blanket  10 , if sculpture blanket  10  is constructed from a material which can catch onto the hook fastener strips  20  of additional blanket  16 . In addition, any type of fastener system can be used to connect sculpture blanket  10  and additional blanket  16 . If sculpture blanket  10  is constructed from a material which is not adhesive to the hook fastener strips  20  located on additional blanket  16 , then sculpture blanket  10  will have a loop fastener strips to adhere to the same hook fastener strips  20  depicted and placed on  FIG. 2 . If additional blanket  16  is used in the construction of sculpture blanket  10 , then the fabric should be similar to that of sculpture blanket  10 , should be two panels which allow a hollowed-out inner core compartment, and of a dimension slightly smaller than sculpture blanket  10 . 
         [0050]    Anywhere on sculpture blanket  10  at  FIG. 1  and additional blanket  16  at  FIG. 2 , where hook or loop fastener strip sections and compartments  14  at  FIG. 1  and hook fastener strips  20  at  FIG. 2  exist; any material or item which would naturally adhere to hook and/or loop fasteners can be attached to sculpture blanket  10  and additional blanket  16 , thereby enhancing the functionality of sculpture blanket  10  and additional blanket  16 . In addition, hook or loop fastener strip sections and compartments  14  at  FIG. 1  and hook fastener strips  20  at  FIG. 2  can be used to connect or attach other sculpture blankets  10  and/or other additional blankets  16 , or similar blankets, fabrics or materials; and increase the possible configurations, dimensions and overall size of sculpture blanket  10  and/or additional blanket  16 . 
         [0051]    At  FIG. 3 , the inner core of sculpture blanket  10  consists of a soft foam form body  22 , which is a sheet of foam form which encases a bendable grid frame assembly  24  and provides insulation. The soft foam form body  22  should totally cover all parts and portions of the bendable grid frame assembly  24 . The bendable grid frame assembly  24  is constructed using a grid-like frame, separated in equally spaced proportions, consisting of equal parts, and attached to form a grid, consisting of any equally spaced geometric shape, i.e., all squares, or all triangular or all circular compartments.  FIG. 3  uses the example of square compartments. The bendable grid frame assembly can also consist of irregular, non-equally space geometric shapes and forms. The compartments should be emptied or hollowed-out in order to insure the bendable grid frame assembly is light in weight. The bendable grid frame assembly  24  at  FIG. 3 , should be closed on all sides and avoid being constructed in a method which would allow protruding edges or portions which could puncture the soft foam form body  22 , the sculpture blanket  10 , or additional blanket  16  in the case additional blanket  16  is developed with sculpture blanket  10 ; or potentially puncture an individual thereby causing physical injury to the user. 
         [0052]    The soft foam form body  22  provides protection, insulation and cushioning, and should be constructed in a way that it can be removed from sculpture blanket  10  for cleaning, repair or replacement; but also constructed in a manner where it completely encloses the bendable grid frame assembly  24 . In the case the sculpture blanket  10  composition already includes insulation, the soft foam form body  22  is unnecessary. The bendable grid frame assembly  24  at  FIG. 3  is to be inserted into the soft foam form body  22 , which is in the sculpture blanket  10 , through the opening  12  to access the inner core of sculpture blanket  10 , and able to be completely encased and covered on all sides. In the case, the sculpture blanket  10  and/or the soft foam form body  22  need to be replaced, the bendable grid frame assembly  24  can be reused. The soft foam form body  22  and the bendable grid frame assembly  24  should closely and snuggly fit the dimensions and proportions of sculpture blanket  10 . The texture and thickness of the soft foam form body  22  should prevent the user from actually feeling and/or realizing that there is an internal bendable grid frame assembly  24 . 
         [0053]    In the present embodiment of the invention, sculpture blanket  10  provides a cover in the form of a fabric material to the soft foam form body  22 , and the bendable grid frame assembly  24 ; and sculpture blanket  10  should snuggly fit and encase the soft foam form body  22  and cover the bendable grid frame assembly  24 . The soft foam form body  22  should be durable enough to protect the bendable grid frame assembly  24 , but light and malleable enough to conform to the sculpture functionality of the bendable grid frame assembly  24 . The soft foam form body  22  should be able to be removed from the inner core of sculpture blanket  10  through opening  12 . The soft foam form  22  can be constructed of any suitable soft, spongy material such as a natural or synthetic rubber or it can be constructed from polymeric foam or fibers. All materials for the construction of  10 ,  14 ,  16 ,  20 ,  22 , and  24  are readily and commercially sourced and available from a number of suppliers and manufacturers, for example the Dow Chemical Company. 
         [0054]      FIG. 4  provides a cross-sectional view of the close proximity or close fitting proportionality of sculpture blanket  10 , the soft foam form body  22  and the bendable grid frame assembly  24 ; and in addition  FIG. 4  depicts the hook and loop fastener sections and compartments  14  and hook fastener strips  20 , and the additional blanket  16 . 
         [0055]      FIG. 5  depicts a cross-sectional view of the bendable grid frame assembly  24  which is comprised of a metal rod  28  covered and/or encapsulated in a polymeric type material  26 . In the case there is an alternate material or polymeric material which does not require metal; the bendable grid frame assembly  24  can also be constructed with any material which is bendable and flexible and contains the properties that it will freely and independently hold its form until it is reformed into a new shape. The bendable grid frame assembly  24  should have a diameter of rod, overall thickness, and the dimensions of the grid sections that will allow it to hold is form or shape, while at the same time allow flexibility of movement; in conjunction with the soft foam form body  22 . The bendable grid frame assembly  24  should be resilient, and therefore, constructed using a material that has a property that will allow it to be bent and reform repeatedly, without damaging the frame, of the frame losing its properties over time to bend or hold the desired shape. 
         [0056]      FIG. 6 ,  FIG. 7 , and  FIG. 8  all depict exemplary embodiments of the invention and are meant to depict the flexibility of sculpture blanket  10  in its ability to contort into any given shape and to hold the shape until it is reformed into a newly desired shape. Sculpture blanket  10  can be easily formed and shaped into a multitude amount of abstract shapes and forms. 
         [0057]    An exemplary embodiment of sculpture blanket  10  at  FIG. 9  shows how sculpture blanket  10  can be used to swaddle a small child or infant. An exemplary embodiment of sculpture blanket  10  at  FIG. 10  shows how the sculpture blanket  10  can be used to provide a source of entertainment as in this case it is meant to depict a play tent-like structure; and can also act as a source of protection from environmental elements and conditions such as heat, light, wind, rain, air, and dust.  FIG. 11  provides an exemplary embodiment of the invention sculpture blanket  10  being used as a sleeping or resting aid to comfort and support a child; to restrain a child from movement, and/or to protect a child from roiling-off of an elevated platform and sustaining a fall and subsequent injury.  FIG. 11  depicts the blanket being used as a safety device.  FIG. 12  provides an exemplary embodiment of sculpture blanket  10  and depicts how the device can be used as a sleeping aid or for entertainment as a toy.  FIG. 12  depicts an exemplary embodiment of how the invention can have medical uses as a stabilization tool for an injured person.  FIG. 13  reflects an exemplary embodiment of sculpture blanket  10  being used by an adult and child or infant in its use as a therapeutic sleeping and resting aid, and/or tool to assist with nursing.
