Abstract
A weighted material is configured to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when the weighted material is used as a blanket over the person's body. A length of layered yarn is interlooped to form the weighted material. The layered yarn includes an outer tube extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The outer tube defines a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough from the first end to the second end. A fiber material is disposed within the conduit and extend longitudinally from the first end to the second end. The interlooped length of yarn, by itself, is configured and sufficiently weighted to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when the blanket lies over the person's body.
Claims30
A weighted blanket comprising:
- a length of layered yarn arranged to form a weighted material having loops in an interlooped pattern, the weighted material having a top side and a bottom side, wherein the length of layered yarn comprises:
- an outer tube having a length and defining a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough;
- and
- a fiber material arranged in a substantially longitudinal direction within the conduit;
- wherein the interlooped pattern includes openings between the loops, the openings configured to allow airflow between the top side and the bottom side for providing breathability.
A weighted blanket comprising:
- a length of layered yarn arranged to form a weighted material having loops in an interlooped pattern, the weighted material having a top side and a bottom side, wherein the length of layered yarn comprises:
- an outer tube having a length and defining a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of textile materials comprising spun fibers, each textile material of the plurality of textile materials is arranged in a substantially longitudinal direction within the conduit;
- wherein the interlooped pattern includes openings between the loops, the openings configured to allow airflow between the top side and the bottom side for providing breathability.
A weighted blanket comprising:
- a length of layered yarn arranged to form a weighted material having loops in an interlooped pattern, the weighted material having a top side and a bottom side, wherein the length of layered yarn comprises:
- an outer tube having a length and defining a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of lengths of material arranged within the conduit, each length of material of the plurality of lengths of material comprising a plurality of spun fibers, wherein each length of material of the plurality of lengths of material is arranged in a substantially longitudinal direction within the conduit, wherein the interlooped pattern is a single layer of interlooped yarn including knots at cross-sections of the loops and openings between the loops, the openings configured to allow airflow between the top side and the bottom side for providing breathability.
A weighted blanket comprising:
- a length of layered yarn arranged to form a weighted material having loops in an interlooped pattern, the weighted material having a top side and a bottom side, the interlooped pattern includes knots at cross-sections of the loops, wherein the length of layered yarn comprises:
- an outer tube extending from a first end to a second end, the outer tube defining a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a plurality of lengths of material arranged within the conduit, each length of material of the plurality of lengths of material comprising a plurality of spun fibers, wherein each length of material of the plurality of lengths of material is arranged in a substantially longitudinal direction within the conduit, wherein the interlooped pattern includes openings where the length of layered yarn crosses other lengths of layered yarn, the openings configured to allow airflow between the top side and the bottom side thereby providing breathability, wherein the length of layered yarn has a substantially homogenous weight and density along the length of the outer tube.
