The Story of the Huggle

At the end of 2007 my sister Alex gave me a self-sewn one
Sleeve cover given. I liked them, but didn't use them for that
intended way: not covered from the front, but from behind
wrapped like a kind of coat.

With all comfort, both ways of carrying also had their own
Cons: Sitting at a desk, feet were inadequate
warmed. You couldn't walk around with it without wiping the floor
and without running the risk of tripping over it. Leave when not in use
tuck away the sleeve blanket badly. These disadvantages applied to it
remedy!

In the summer of 2008 I decided to tackle the matter and bought one
sewing machine and started tinkering. In the spring of 2009 saw the first -
still somewhat awkward-looking - prototype, the light of day.

The invention was granted a patent in Great Britain in 2013 and in Germany in 2014.

2014 Awarded the bronze medal at the inventors' fair iENA in Nuremberg

But it was only at the beginning of 2018 that the Huggle made its breakthrough thanks to the media attention of an inventor show on German TV .

While much remains difficult to see my Huggle vision materialized into reality, the goal is what guides me.

The Story of the Huggle

At the end of 2007, my sister Alex gave me a self-sewn sleeve blanket. I liked them, but didn't use them in the way they were intended: not covered up from the front, but folded over from behind as a kind of coat.

With all the comfort, both carrying methods also had their disadvantages: Sitting at the desk, the feet were not warm enough. You couldn't walk around with it without wiping the floor and without running the risk of tripping over it. When not in use, the sleeve cover was difficult to stow away. These disadvantages had to be eliminated!

In the summer of 2008 I decided to tackle the matter, bought a sewing machine and started tinkering. In the spring of 2009, the first - still somewhat awkward-looking - prototype saw the light of day.

The invention was granted a patent in Great Britain in 2013 and in Germany in 2014.

2014 Awarded the bronze medal at the inventors' fair iENA in Nuremberg

But it was only at the beginning of 2018 that the Huggle made its breakthrough thanks to the media attention of an inventor show on German TV .

Although everything is still very difficult and much is unclear, to see my Huggle vision implemented in reality is the goal that guides me.
