Fire blanket pack

Claim 2

A fire-blanket pack comprising a bag, openable closure means closing said bag, a fire-resistant blanket within the bag, handling attachments for the blanket and means mounting the attachments to the blanket for passage through and externally of the bag, said passage through being at least adjacent said openable closure means, and said handling attachments being in the form of strips of material sewn to the blanket at laterally spaced points displaced from an edge of the blanket by a predetermined specific distance of the order of a hand''s breadth, and being pullable to effect opening of said closure means and release of the blanket from the bag in readiness for handprotected use.

Claim 3

A fire-blanket pack according to claim 1, wherein the openable closure means is constituted by a line of weakness in the bag.

Claim 4

A fire-blanket pack according to claim 1, wherein the openable closure means is reclosable.

Claim 5

A fire-blanket pack according to claim 3, wherein said closUre means comprise a strip of plastics material extending across an edge of the bag, the strip being formed with snap closures and apertures for receiving said handling attachments.

Claim 6

A fire-blanket pack according to claim 1, wherein said handling attachments project from the blanket at an oblique angle.

Claim 7

A fire-blanket pack comprising a polygonally shaped closed container openable along one edge; strip means provided with apertures attached to said one edge, the strip means having releasable snap-fastening means closing the container along said one edge; a fire-resistant blanket within the closed container; handling tapes sewn to the blanket at laterally spaced locations displaced from one edge thereof by a short distance providing a width of blanket material between the locations and said one edge of the blanket sufficient to cover the hands of a user, said handling tapes being sewn to the blanket such as to project obliquely from said one edge thereof and extend through said apertures so as to be pullable from outside the container for opening the container along said one edge thereof to release the fire-resistant blanket in readiness for hand-protected use.

Claim 8

A fire-blanket pack comprising a polygonally shaped closed container openable along one edge; strip means provided with apertures attached to said one edge, the strip means having releasable snap-fastening means closing the container along said one edge; a fire-resistant blanket within the closed container; handling tapes sewn to the blanket at laterally spaced locations displaced from one edge thereof by a short distance providing a width of blanket material between the locations and said one edge of the blanket sufficient to cover the hands of a user, said handling tapes being sewn to the blanket such as to project obliquely from said one edge thereof and extend through said apertures so as to be pullable from outside the container for opening the container along said one edge thereof to release the fire-resistant blanket in readiness for hand-protected use.

Claim 9

A fire-blanket pack comprising a bag of rectangular outline, releasable stud-and-hole closure means at speed intervals along one edge of said bag, a fire-resistant blanket of rectangular outline folded in four along two mutually perpendicular fold lines into a folded state within said bag for removal therefrom with one edge thereof leading and manipulation to an unfolded state, two handling tapes sewn to the blanket at locations spaced from one another by a first distance less than the blanket width and spaced from said one edge of the blanket by a second shorter distance providing sufficient blanket material between each location and said one edge of the blanket to protect a man''s hand, said tapes being sewn to the blanket at said locations for extension parallel to one another at an oblique angle to said one edge of the blanket in its unfolded state and to extend in opposite directions from said one edge of the blanket in its folded state within said bag, said two tapes themselves projecting externally of the bag between said spaced closure means so as to be pullable from outside the bag thereby in one operation to cause a parting of said stud-and-hole closure means effecting release of the fire-resistant blanket from the bag and its simultaneous transition to the unfolded state in readiness for immediate hand-protected use.

Claim 10

A fire-blanket pack comprising a bag of rectangular outline, releasable stud-and-hole closure means at speed intervals along one edge of said bag, a fire-resistant blanket of rectangular outline folded in four along two mutually perpendicular fold lines into a folded state within said bag for removal therefrom with one edge thereof leading and manipulation to an unfolded state, two handling tapes sewn to the blanket at locations spaced from one another by a first distance less than the blanket width and spaced from said one edge of the blanket by a second shorter distance providing sufficient blanket material between each location and said one edge of the blanket to protect a man''s hand, said tapes being sewn to the blanket at said locations for extension parallel to one another at an oblique angle to said one edge of the blanket in its unfolded state and to extend in opposite directions from said one edge of the blanket in its folded state within said bag, said two tapes themselves projecting externally of the bag between said spaced closure means so as to be pullable from outside the bag thereby in one operation to cause a parting of said stud-and-hole closure means effecting release of the fire-resistant blanket from the bag and its simultaneous transition to the unfolded state in readiness for immediate hand-protected use.
