referring now to fig1 , a folding igloo sleeping bag 10 is shown . the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may have a dome portion 12 and a sleeping bag 14 disposed on top of a mat 16 . the mat 16 may be divided into a plurality of sections 16 a , b , c , d , e and have a generally rigid backing 18 a , b , c , d , e . the first section 20 may be hinged to the second section 22 . likewise , the second section 22 may be hinged to the third section 24 . the third section 24 may be hinged to the fourth section 26 . the fourth section 26 may be hinged to the fifth section 28 . the dome section 12 is also collapsible , as shown in fig3 . to fold the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the first section 20 and the third section 24 are raised to the vertical position , as shown in fig2 . by this action , the dome portion 12 is also traversed to the collapsed position , as shown in fig2 . the fourth and fifth sections 26 , 28 are folded above the collapsed dome portion 12 . the fifth section 28 is then secured to the first section 20 with at least one set of straps 30 ( e . g ., buckles , snaps , hooks and loops , etc .). the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 when in the folded position ( see fig2 ) is in a compact and easy to carry state . when the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 is folded , a user may carry the folding igloo sleeping 10 with the provided backpack straps 32 or by hand carrying the folded folding igloo sleeping bag 10 with handles 33 . for long term storage of the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 is traversed to the folded configuration ( see fig2 ) then the sides may be zippered to prevent the entrance of any undesirable material ( e . g ., bugs , rodents , dust , etc .). the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 discussed herein provides an easy to pack , unpack and store device . since the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag 10 has a square configuration as shown in fig2 , the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be conveniently stacked upon each other or other objects . referring now to fig3 , the dome portion 12 may comprise a plurality of support members 34 . the support members 34 may be elongate fiberglass tubes that can be bent into the u - shaped configuration shown in fig3 . alternatively , the support members 34 may alternatively be pre shaped into the u - shaped configuration . the support members 34 provide the basic support for a mesh material 36 and a waterproof material 38 ( see fig1 ) to provide a cavity within the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 such that a person may have a convenient area for his / her head and arms , reading a book , sleeping without feeling claustrophobic , etc . this is illustrated in fig4 . the support members 34 may be pushed rearward in the direction of arrow 40 shown in fig3 . in this manner , the person may retract the dome portion 12 such that while the person is sleeping in the sleeping bag 14 , the person may view the stars above or his / her surroundings . the dome portion 12 may also be traversed to an erected position as shown in fig1 and 4 . the waterproof material 38 may be extended over the entire mesh material 36 or pulled back to allow the person to be protected from bugs and other unwanted animals by deployment of the mesh material 36 but yet enjoy the fresh air and environment by pulling back the waterproof material 38 . the hidden lines 38 shown in fig4 illustrate the waterproof material 38 fully pulled back or open . when raining , the waterproof material 38 may be deployed as shown in solid lines in fig1 and 4 to prevent the person from getting wet . the waterproof material 38 may be zippered to the exterior surface of the sleeping bag 14 , as shown in fig4 a . also , the mesh material 36 may be zippered to the exterior surface of the sleeping bag 14 , as shown in fig4 a . it is also contemplated that the waterproof material 38 may be left open at various intermediate positions between the fully pulled back position shown in hidden lines in fig4 and the fully closed position shown in solid lines in fig4 . in particular , a plurality of loops 74 ( see fig4 b ) may be attached to the mesh material 36 . the loops 74 may be sewn the mesh material 36 adjacent the support members 34 or attached directly to the support members 34 by sewing , gluing or other attachment methods at various intervals . the waterproof material 38 may have a support member 76 ( see fig1 and 4 ) attached to its distal end portion . referring now to fig4 , the support member 76 may have a hook 78 that can be removeably attachable to any one of the loops 74 . in this manner , the user can attach the hook 78 to the loop 74 such that the waterproof material 38 is ¼ open , ½ open , ¾ open , etc . or open at other intervals . although the loops 74 are described as being attached adjacent the support members 34 , it is contemplated that the loops 74 may be attached at any positions on the mesh material 36 . it is also contemplated that the distal end portion of the water proof material 38 may be removably attachable to the mesh material 36 at various intervals through other attachment mechanisms . by way of example and not limitation , a first part of the attachment mechanism ( hooks and loops , snaps , buttons , etc .) is attached to the mesh material at various intervals . a second part of the attachment mechanism ( hooks and loops , snaps , buttons , etc .) may be attached to the distal end portion of the waterproof material 38 . the second part of the attachment mechanism may be selectively attached to any one of the first part attached to the mesh material 36 to partially open the waterproof material 38 . the waterproof material 38 may be secured to the brackets 44 a , b ( see fig1 and 3 ) such that the waterproof material 38 may pivot about such bracket 44 a , b . alternatively , waterproof material 38 may merely be draped over the mesh material 36 and the support members 34 and pulled off when not in use . referring now to fig4 b , the mesh material 36 may be secured to the support member 34 . by way of example and not limitation , a strap 42 may be secured around the support member 34 by hooks and loops . in this manner , only selected support members 34 may be attached to the mesh material 36 . alternatively , the support members 34 may be fed through loops formed by strap 42 that may be sown to the mesh material 36 on both sides . referring now to fig3 , the support members 34 may be rotated about bracket 44 a , b . they may be removably attachable to the mat 16 b by means of snaps , hooks and loops , or other removable attachable systems that are known in the art . preferably , the width of the support members 34 and the brackets 44 a , b when in the vertical position shown in fig3 is narrower than a length 46 of the mat 16 b . this allows room for the sleeping bag 14 to wrap around the support members 34 as shown in fig2 . additionally , a height of the support members 34 is preferably shorter than a length 50 of the third section 24 to allow room for the sleeping bag 14 to wrap over the support members 34 , as shown in fig2 . the length 48 , 50 , 52 , and 54 ( see fig3 ) of mats 16 a , b , c , d , e ( see fig1 ) are sized to form a generally rectangular configuration as shown in fig2 when the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 is traversed to the folded configuration . referring now to fig4 , the mats 16 a , b , c , d , e hinge about each other at hinge points 56 a , b , c , d . the hinge points 56 a , b , c , d are shown as being on the upper side of the mat 16 . however , the hinge point may be anywhere at that general vicinity as long as the mats 16 a , b , c , d , e are able to rotate with respect to each other . the mat 16 may be air inflatable with a compressible sponge disposed therein . when deploying the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the air inflatable mat 16 may have a valve which is opened . each of the mats 16 a , b , c , d , e may be fluidically connected to each other or isolated from each other . in either instance , one or all of the mats 16 may have a valve which may be opened when deploying the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 . upon opening the valve , air is introduced into the mat 16 or mats 16 a , b , c , d , e . the sponge expands and draws air into the mat 16 . when the appropriate amount of air is introduced into the mat 16 , the valve is then closed to provide a cushion and insulate the user from the ground . to fold the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the valve may be opened and air pushed out of the mat 16 either by squeegeeing the mat then closing the valve or other means known in the art . this allows enough room for the mat 16 and sleeping bag 14 to fold around the support members 34 , as shown in fig2 . alternatively , the mats 16 and the support members 34 may be sized and configured such that the mats 16 and the sleeping bag 14 may fold around the support members 34 even if the air within the mats 16 is not pushed out of the mat 16 . alternatively , it is contemplated that the mat 16 may be an air pad without foam or a foam pad . referring now to fig3 , flaps 58 a , b , c may be attached to opposed sides of the mat 16 a - e . these flaps 58 a , b , c may have two sets of zippers 60 a and 60 b . as shown in fig2 , the zippers may be zipped to close the sides of the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 for storage or transport . the rigid members 18 a , b , c , d , e may be individually attached to the mats 16 a , b , c , d , e , respectively . the rigid members 18 a - e may be attached to the underside of the mats 16 a - e and cover a substantial area of the mat &# 39 ; s underside . to further support the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , elastic members 62 ( see fig4 ) may be formed at the joints between rigid members 18 a and b , 18 b and c , 18 c and d , and 18 d and e . upon folding the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , these elastic straps 62 stretch out to provide rigidity and support to the folded configuration of the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , as shown in fig2 . when deploying the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the elastic straps contract to urge the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 to the flat laid out position , as shown in fig1 . the closure straps 30 may be attached to rigid members 18 a - e , as shown in fig1 . from the deployed position shown in fig1 , to use the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the zippers 64 , 66 ( see fig4 a ) which attach the waterproof material 38 and the mesh material 36 to the exterior of the sleeping bag 14 may be unzippered . the user may pull back the support members 34 , mesh material 36 and waterproof material 38 such that the user may get into the sleeping bag 14 . once the user is inside of the sleeping bag 14 , the user may pull back the mesh material 36 along with the support members 34 and optionally with the mesh material 36 , the user may pull back the waterproof material 38 to the deployed position shown in fig1 . with the mesh material 36 in the deployed position and the waterproof material 38 in the deployed position , the user may zipper the waterproof material 38 to the exterior of the sleeping bag 14 then zipper the mesh material 36 to the exterior of the sleeping bag 14 . in this manner , the user is protected from outside animals as well as the weather elements . fresh air may be introduced into the cavity through the air vent 68 ( see fig1 ). once inside the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the user is provided with a small but ample space to read , etc . moreover , instead of pulling the waterproof material 38 over the mesh material 36 , the waterproof material 38 may be left in the retracted position as shown by the hidden lines in fig4 . the user may view the environment through the mesh material 36 as well as receive an ample amount of fresh air throughout the night . to exit the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the user unzips the zipper of the mesh material 36 and the zipper 66 of the waterproof material 38 , if deployed . the support members 34 and the mesh material 36 and optionally the waterproof material 38 is pulled back to provide space for the user to exit the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 . for storage purposes , the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be folded into the folded configuration as shown in fig2 . the first and third sections 20 , 24 are raised to the vertical position . the fourth and fifth sections 26 , 28 are folded over the support members 34 . the straps 30 are attached to each other to hold the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 in the folded configuration . as can be seen in fig2 , the support members 34 provide space for the sleeping bag 14 thereabout such that the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be folded or conveniently folded into the folded configuration . to further reduce any size limitations , the mat 16 may be air inflatable . air may be removed from the air inflatable mat 16 to make additional room , if needed . alternatively , the mats 16 and the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be sized such that the air does not have to be removed when traversing the folding igloo sleeping bag to the folded or collapsed position . after the sections 20 , 22 , 24 , 26 and 28 are folded upon each other as shown in fig2 , zippers may zip the flap 58 b to the flaps 58 a and c on both sides of the folded igloo sleeping bag 10 . the user may conveniently carry the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag with the backpack straps 32 or handles 33 . additionally , since the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag 10 has a square configuration ( see fig2 ), the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be stacked on or under other objects for convenient storage . this provides a convenient easy to carry and store / transport igloo sleeping bag 10 . to deploy the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 , the above described operation is reversed . also , once the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 is traversed to the unfolded position , the straps 30 ( see fig1 ) may have a reinforced hole 68 . pegs 70 may be inserted into the reinforced holes 68 as shown in fig1 to secure the folding igloo sleep bag 10 to the ground . the pegs 70 may have a flanged ring to retain the straps 30 to the ground when the pegs 70 are secured to the ground . when the pegs 70 are not being used , the pegs 70 may be stored in holders 72 attached to the flaps 58 b . it is contemplated that the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may have a width sized and configured to fit a single person . however , it is also contemplated that the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may be fabricated in a wider configuration such that two people or more people may fit within the folding igloo sleeping bag 10 . it is contemplated that the sleeping bag 14 may be replaced with a waterproof membrane or fabric . as a result , the collapsed folding igloo sleeping bag 10 may have a more compact configuration since the thickness of the sleeping bag 14 does not have to be accounted for when sizing the support members 34 and the lengths 48 , 46 , 50 , 52 and 54 . rather , these lengths may be made shorter or the support members 34 may be made higher to provide a more spacious inner cavity of the dome portion 12 . during use , the user may sleep in a separate sleeping bag under the waterproof membrane or fabric to provide warmth to the user as the user is sleeping throughout the night . the above description is given by way of example , and not limitation . given the above disclosure , one skilled in the art could devise variations that are within the scope and spirit of the invention disclosed herein , including various ways of closing the flaps 58 a , b , c such as through snaps and / or hooks and loops . further , the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein can be used alone , or in varying combinations with each other and are not intended to be limited to the specific combination described herein . thus , the scope of the claims is not to be limited by the illustrated embodiments .
