For example, a plurality of detachable fixation elements such asVelcro fasteners 63 may be affixed to theillumination unit 45 and thetop layer 57. - The bed covering 10 may also include, or be dimensioned for holding, a
comforter 62, positionable within thepocket 56 beneath the illumination unit 45 (FIG. 1 ). - In use, the bed covering 10 can provide entertainment and a decorative experience akin to a light and sound show to the user. As illustrated in
FIGS. 15A-15E , a series of illumination patterns can be effected by the programmable control element 34, wherein, when theswitch 35 is activated (FIG. 15A ),LEDs 12 are illuminated in an outward sequence (FIG. 15B ) to reach different sectors 33 a-33 d at different times. At some point in the sequence, a maximum number ofLEDs 12 may be illuminated (FIG. 15C ). The sequence may then include a reversal of the illumination pattern (FIG. 15D ) until the covering is unilluminated (FIG. 15E ). - The show sequence illustrated in
FIGS. 15A-15E can be used to entertain and stimulate the imagination of a child, for example, by asking the child to make up a story commensurate with the light sequence. For example, a spaceship may be illuminated prior to takeoff, during takeoff, and in space. Alternatively, a superhero character can be illustrated performing heroic acts in sequence. - In another sequence, which may be initiated following the show sequence, comprises a more muted “sleep sequence” (
FIG. 16A-16E ). In this exemplary sequence, only afew LEDs 12 are illuminated, for example, in a pseudorandom pattern that gradually fades until noLEDs 12 are illuminated. - The timing of the sequences is obviously a matter of design choice, and the programmable nature of the control unit 34 permits virtually limitless options in the sequences provided. That outlined above is believed to represent a preferred embodiment for a child prior to falling asleep.
- Another benefit of the bed covering 10 is that it can provide security to a fearful child, since the
switch 35 can be activated during the night if the child awakens and is afraid. - In the foregoing description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clarity, and understanding, but no unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirements of the prior art, because such words are used for description purposes herein and are intended to be broadly construed. Moreover, the embodiments of the apparatus illustrated and described herein are by way of example, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the exact details of construction.
- Having now described the invention, the construction, the operation and use of preferred embodiments thereof, and the advantageous new and useful results obtained thereby, the new and useful constructions, and reasonable mechanical equivalents thereof obvious to those skilled in the art, are set forth in the appended claims.
