Description

Housse de protection de couetteDuvet cover
La présente invention concerne une housse de protection de couette du type constituée d'une face de dessous et d'une face de dessus pour former une enveloppe en tissu souple.The present invention relates to a duvet protection cover of the type consisting of a bottom face and a top face to form a flexible fabric envelope.
De nombreuses housses, répondant à la définition ci-dessus, sont connues de l'état de la technique. En effet, il est de pratique courante d'utiliser des housses de couette pour préserver la propreté des couettes. Le changement de la housse permet à l'utilisateur de changer l'aspect extérieur tel que le tissu, le motif et la couleur d'une même couette de façon voulue. De telles housses, communément utilisées jusqu'à présent, se présentent sous forme de sac parailélépipédique en tissu dont un côté est ouvert pour l'introduction d'une couette. Ce côté ouvert peut, le cas échéant, être fermé au moyen par exemple de boutons, de boutons-pression ou autres.Many covers, meeting the definition above, are known from the state of the art. Indeed, it is common practice to use duvet covers to keep the comforters clean. The change of the cover allows the user to change the external appearance such as the fabric, the pattern and the color of the same duvet as desired. Such covers, commonly used until now, are in the form of a parailélépipédique fabric bag of which one side is open for the introduction of a quilt. This open side can, if necessary, be closed by means of, for example, buttons, snaps or the like.
La plupart de ces housses posent un problème lors de l'opération de garniture d'une couette au moyen d'une telle housse. En effet, actuellement, pour mettre une couette dans sa housse, il faut la glisser par une extrémité relativement étroite et essayer de faire correspondre les coins de la couette avec les coins de la housse pour avoir la surface la plus plane possible. Cette technique est source d'une perte de temps ainsi que d'énervement puisqu'il est très difficile de placer parfaitement la couette. Le problème se révèle d'autant plus important que la housse est de grande dimension.Most of these covers pose a problem during the operation of filling a duvet with such a cover. Indeed, currently, to put a duvet in its cover, you have to slide it by a relatively narrow end and try to match the corners of the duvet with the corners of the cover to have the most flat surface possible. This technique is a waste of time as well as annoyance since it is very difficult to place the quilt perfectly. The problem is all the more important as the cover is large.
Pour résoudre ce problème, diverses solutions ont été proposées. Une première solution consiste à équiper la face de dessus de la housse d'une ouverture centrale comme l'illustrent en particulier le brevet FR-A-2.799.358 ainsi que les brevets GB-A-2.303.062 et DE-A-2.829.873. Dans le cas d'une telle housse, certains angles de la housse demeurent difficilement accessibles de sorte qu'il est encore nécessaire à l'opérateur de perdre du temps pour positionner correctement au moins une partie des coins de la couette en correspondance avec les coins de la housse. Une telle opération nécessite parallèlement un effort physique important de l'opérateur.To solve this problem, various solutions have been proposed. A first solution consists in equipping the top face of the cover with a central opening as illustrated in particular by patent FR-A-2,799,358 as well as by patents GB-A-2,303,062 and DE-A-2,829 .873. In the case of such a cover, certain angles of the cover remain difficult to access so that it is still necessary for the operator to waste time to correctly position at least part of the corners of the duvet in correspondence with the corners of the cover. Such an operation also requires significant physical effort from the operator.
Une autre solution consiste à réaliser une housse de couette sous -forme de parties indépendantes dont l'une forme couvercle, les deux parties pouvant être raccordées de façon amovible. Cette solution est plus particulièrement illustrée dans le document FR-A-2.649.877. La perte de temps résulte dans ce cas du repérage du positionnement du couvercle et de l'assujettissement des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture des bords du couvercle et de la partie réceptrice. Dans le cas de boutons-pression, on constate un plissage des bords, en particulier des bords longitudinaux rendant l'ensemble inesthétique. Dans le cas de fermeture à glissière, il- est nécessaire, à chaque fois, de rassembler les fermetures à glissière entre elles sur les quatre côtés pour aboutir à une fermeture de l'ensemble. Enfin, on constate une augmentation de l'encombrement lors du stockage d'une telle housse de couette .Another solution consists in producing a duvet cover in the form of independent parts, one of which forms a cover, the two parts being able to be connected in a removable manner. This solution is more particularly illustrated in document FR-A-2,649,877. The loss of time in this case results from the location of the positioning of the cover and the subjugation of the means for opening / closing the edges of the cover and of the receiving part. In the case of press studs, there is a pleating of the edges, in particular of the longitudinal edges making the assembly unattractive. In the case of a zipper, it is necessary, each time, to gather the zippers between them on the four sides to achieve a closure of the assembly. Finally, there is an increase in the size when storing such a duvet cover.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer une housse de couette dont la conception permet de la garnir aisément, les faces du dessus et du dessous de cette couette étant conçues pour être aisément et rapidement partiellement désolidarisables ou respectivement solidarisables sans nuire à l'encombrement de l'ensemble.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a duvet cover whose design allows it to be easily trimmed, the faces of the top and the bottom of this duvet being designed to be easily and quickly partially separable or respectively solidifiable without harming the overall dimensions.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une housse de couette dont 1 ' apparence demeure inchangée par rapport à. une housse traditionnelle.Another object of the present invention is to provide a duvet cover whose appearance remains unchanged from. a traditional cover.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une housse de couette dont la conception autorise la réversibilité.Another object of the present invention is to provide a duvet cover whose design allows reversibility.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une housse de protection de couette du type constituée d'une face de dessous et d'une face de dessus pour former une enveloppe en tissu souple, caractérisée en ce qu'elle se présente sous forme d'une enveloppe monobloc comportant un bord au moins partiellement fermé de manière permanente et trois bords équipés de moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture rapides permettant une désolidarisation partielle des deux faces de 1 ' enveloppe afin de permettre la pose de la couette sur l'une desdites faces de l'enveloppe puis le recouvrement de ladite couette par l'autre face et la jonction d'au moins deux bords de ces faces par lesdits moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture rapides. La présentation de cette housse de couette, sous forme d'une enveloppe monobloc dont les faces du dessus et du dessous ne sont que partiellement désolidarisables pour permettre un positionnement aisé de la couette sans toutefois obliger à une séparation totale desdites faces, facilite la mise en place d'une couette sans effort physique pour l'opérateur.To this end, the subject of the invention is a duvet cover of the type consisting of a bottom face and a top face to form a flexible fabric envelope, characterized in that it is in the form of a monobloc envelope comprising an edge at least partially closed permanently and three edges equipped with rapid opening and closing means allowing a partial separation of the two faces of the envelope in order to allow the laying of the quilt on the one of said faces of the envelope then the covering of said quilt by the other face and the junction of at least two edges of these faces by said rapid opening and closing means. The presentation of this duvet cover, in the form of a monobloc envelope whose top and bottom faces are only partially separable to allow easy positioning of the duvet without however requiring a total separation of said faces, facilitates the implementation place a duvet without physical effort for the operator.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
la figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'une housse de couette conforme à l'invention à l'état désolidarisé des faces constitutives de l'enveloppe de la housse ;Figure 1 shows a top view of a duvet cover according to the invention in the disengaged state of the constituent faces of the envelope of the cover;
la figure 2 représente une vue schématique partielle de dessous de la face du dessous d'une housse de couette à l'état solidarisé desdites faces etFIG. 2 represents a partial schematic view from below of the underside of a duvet cover in the secured state of said faces and
la figure 3 représente une vue de dessus de la face du dessous de la housse de couette à l'état non solidarisé de cette dernière.Figure 3 shows a top view of the underside of the duvet cover in the non-integral state thereof.
Comme mentionné ci-dessus, la housse 1 de protection de couette, objet de l'invention, est constituée d'une face 1A de dessous et d'une face IB de dessus réalisées en tissu souple de manière à former une enveloppe de forme sensiblement rectangulaire ou carrée. Cette enveloppe se présente sous forme d'une enveloppe monobloc comportant un bord 2A fermé de manière permanente et trois bords 2B, 2C, 2D équipés de moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture rapides permettant une désolidarisation partielle des deux faces 1A, IB de l'enveloppe de manière telle qu'à l'état désolidarisé, les faces 1A et IB s'étendent dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre comme l'illustre en particulier la figure 1. Dans cet état, il convient alors simplement de poser la couette sur l'une des faces, en l'occurrence la face du dessous 1A de la housse, puis de recouvrir la couette par l'autre face, en l'occurrence la face IB du dessus de l'enveloppe, et enfin de fermer au moins partiellement les bords 2B, 2C, 2D de l'enveloppe.As mentioned above, the duvet cover 1, object of the invention, consists of a face 1A from below and a face IB from above made of flexible fabric so as to form an envelope of substantially shaped rectangular or square. This envelope is in the form of a one-piece envelope having an edge 2A permanently closed and three edges 2B, 2C, 2D equipped with rapid opening and closing means allowing a partial separation of the two faces 1A, IB of the wrapped in such a way that in the state separated, the faces 1A and IB extend in line with one another as illustrated in particular in FIG. 1. In this state, it is then simply necessary to place the duvet on one of the faces, in in this case the underside face 1A of the cover, then cover the duvet with the other face, in this case the face IB above the envelope, and finally at least partially close the edges 2B, 2C, 2D of the envelope.
Dans les exemples représentés, le bord fermé de manière permanente de la housse 1 est constitué par le bord 2A côté tête de ladite housse 1. Chaque face 1A, IB de la housse 1 est munie sur son bord 2C côté pieds, opposé au bord 2A côté tête de la housse 1, d'un rabat 4 repliable sous le matelas pour l'immobilisation de la housse de couette garnie. Ce rabat 4 constitue en outre un moyen de fermeture rapide au moins partielle du bord 2C de la housse 1. La face IB de dessus de la housse est en outre munie, dans deux de ses angles jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de ladite face IB, d'une poche 5B d'allure générale triangulaire, cette poche formant rabat pour contenir le coin jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de la face 1A de dessous de la housse et constituer un élément de fermeture rapide au moins partielle du bord 2C côté pieds de la housse desdites faces 1A, IB. Ainsi, le rabat 4 et les poches 5B constituent les moyens d'ouverture/fermeture rapide du bord 2C côté pieds de la housse.In the examples shown, the permanently closed edge of the cover 1 is constituted by the edge 2A on the head side of said cover 1. Each face 1A, IB of the cover 1 is provided on its edge 2C on the foot side, opposite to the edge 2A head side of the cover 1, with a foldable flap 4 under the mattress for immobilization of the filled duvet cover. This flap 4 also constitutes a means of rapid at least partial closure of the edge 2C of the cover 1. The top side IB of the cover is also provided, in two of its angles adjoining the edge 2C on the foot side of said face IB , of a pocket 5B of general triangular shape, this pocket forming a flap to contain the corner adjoining the edge 2C on the foot side of the face 1A from below the cover and to constitute an element for rapid closure of the edge 2C at least partial of the cover of said faces 1A, IB. Thus, the flap 4 and the pockets 5B constitute the means for rapid opening / closing of the edge 2C on the feet side of the cover.
Dans les exemples représentés, la housse 1 est réversible. De ce fait, chaque face 1A, IB de la housse est munie dans deux de ses angles jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de la housse 1 d'une poche 5A, 5B d'allure générale triangulaire dont le rôle est de constituer un élément de fermeture au moins partiel du bord 2C côté pieds de la housse des faces 1A, IB. Lorsque les faces 1A, IB de la housse sont réalisées en des tissus différenciés, la poche 5A, 5B, solidaire d'une face 1A, IB de la couette 1, est réalisée dans le matériau constitutif de l'autre face de la housse 1. Comme l'illustrent les figures, la ou chaque poche 5A, 5B est constituée d'une pièce triangulaire rapportée sur une face 1A, IB de la housse 1. L'un des bords de la pièce est solidarisée au bord 2C côté pieds de la face du dessus ou respectivement du dessous, et est fixé sur la paroi intérieure de cette face de la housse. L'autre bord de ladite pièce est solidarisé au bord 2B, 2D latéral de ladite face et est inséré entre fermeture 3 rapide et paroi intérieure de la face de manière à ne pas entraver le fonctionnement de ladite fermeture 3. Dans les exemples représentés, les bords 2B, 2D latéraux de la housse 1 reliant le bord 2A côté tête et le bord 2B côté pieds de la housse sont équipés de fermeture 3 à glissière masquée par au moins un rabat débordant de la face du dessus de l'enveloppe à l'état assemblé des faces 1A, IB. Dans le cas d'une housse de couette réversible, l'élément de la fermeture à glissière équipant la face 1A du dessous de l'enveloppe est également positionné sur un rabat de la face du dessous, ce rabat étant destiné à masquer la fermeture 3. A cet effet, la face du dessus ou respectivement du dessous de l'enveloppe sont munies d'un retour ou rabat sur lequel est solidarisée la fermeture à glissière. Ainsi, chaque fermeture à glissière est solidarisée par couture sur un rabat du bord 2B, 2D de l'une des faces de l'enveloppe. La piqûre de solidarisation est disposée de préférence au voisinage immédiat de la ligne de pliage du rabat de manière à permettre au rabat de la face concernée de masquer 1 ' ensemble de la fermeture à glissière. Le rabat peut être en outre pourvu d'une patte de propreté non représentée. Cette patte a pour fonction d'éviter tout coincement de la couette dans la fermeture à glissière lors de la fermeture de cette dernière. Enfin, comme l'illustre en particulier la figure 3, l'une des faces, en l'occurrence ici la face 1A du dessous de la housse, peut être munie intérieurement, dans deux de ses angles jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de la housse, d'une poche 6 supplémentaire d'allure générale triangulaire servant au logement du bord côté pieds de la couette avant jonction des bords 2B, 2C, 2D de la housse. Cette poche 6 est une pièce rapportée triangulaire positionnée côté intérieur d'une face. Cette pièce est solidarisée par l'un de ses bords à un bord latéral 2B ou 2D d'une face, ce bord étant recouvert par la fermeture à glissière, tandis qu'un autre bord de la pièce est solidarisé au bord 2C côté pieds de la housse . Le sommet de la pièce coïncide avec le sommet de l'angle formé par les bords 2B et 2C ou respectivement 2B et 2D. Cette poche 6 est généralement de plus grande dimension que les poches 5A ou 5B et s ' étend entre la poche 5A ou 5B et la face 1A ou IB comme 1 ' illustre la figure 3.In the examples shown, the cover 1 is reversible. Therefore, each face 1A, IB of the cover is provided in two of its angles adjoining the edge 2C on the feet side of the cover 1 of a pocket 5A, 5B of generally triangular appearance whose role is to constitute an element of at least partial closing of the edge 2C on the feet side of the cover of the faces 1A, IB. When the faces 1A, IB of the cover are made of differentiated fabrics, the pocket 5A, 5B, integral with one face 1A, IB of the quilt 1, is made of the material constituting the other face of the cover 1. As illustrated in the figures, the or each pocket 5A, 5B is made up of a triangular piece attached to a face 1A, IB of the cover 1. One of the edges of the part is secured to the edge 2C on the foot side of the face from above or respectively from below, and is fixed to the interior wall of this face of the cover . The other edge of said piece is secured to the edge 2B, 2D lateral of said face and is inserted between rapid closure 3 and inner wall of the face so as not to hinder the operation of said closure 3. In the examples shown, the edges 2B, 2D lateral of the cover 1 connecting the edge 2A on the head side and the edge 2B on the feet side of the cover are fitted with a zipper 3 hidden by at least one flap extending from the top face of the envelope to the assembled state of faces 1A, IB. In the case of a reversible duvet cover, the element of the zipper equipping the face 1A of the underside of the envelope is also positioned on a flap of the underside, this flap being intended to hide the closure 3 For this purpose, the face of the top or respectively of the bottom of the envelope are provided with a return or flap on which the zipper is secured. Thus, each zipper is secured by sewing on a flap of the edge 2B, 2D of one of the faces of the envelope. The fastening stitching is preferably arranged in the immediate vicinity of the fold line of the flap so as to allow the flap of the face concerned to mask one of the zipper. The flap can also be provided with a not shown cleanliness tab. The function of this tab is to avoid any jamming of the duvet in the zipper when the latter is closed. Finally, as illustrated in particular in FIG. 3, one of the faces, in this case here the face 1A of the underside of the cover, can be provided internally, in two of its angles adjoining the edge 2C on the foot side of the cover, an additional pocket 6 of general triangular shape used for housing the edge on the foot side of the duvet before joining the edges 2B, 2C, 2D of the cover. This pocket 6 is a triangular insert positioned on the inside of a face. This piece is secured by one of its edges to a lateral edge 2B or 2D of a face, this edge being covered by the zipper, while another edge of the piece is secured to the edge 2C on the feet side of the cover . The top of the part coincides with the top of the angle formed by the edges 2B and 2C or respectively 2B and 2D. This pocket 6 is generally larger than the pockets 5A or 5B and extends between the pocket 5A or 5B and the face 1A or IB as illustrated in FIG. 3.
Enfin, la face du dessus ou respectivement du dessous de la housse peut être munie intérieurement en un emplacement prédéterminé d'un dispositif de fermeture de type auto- agrippant (non représenté) , cet élément de fermeture étant agencé pour coopérer avec un élément de fermeture complémentaire positionné sur la couette.Finally, the face of the top or respectively of the bottom of the cover can be provided internally at a predetermined location with a self-gripping type closing device (not shown), this closing element being arranged to cooperate with a closing element. complementary positioned on the quilt.
Le fonctionnement d'une telle housse de couette est le suivant : Les fermetures à glissière 3 sont ouvertes et les faces 1A, IB de la housse de couette sont ainsi désolidarisées pour s'étendre dans une position conforme à celle représentée à la figure 1. La face 1A du dessous de la housse de couette est positionnée sur le lit. La couette peut alors être positionnée à plat sur ladite face. Lorsque les poches supplémentaires 6 triangulaires sont présentes, les angles de cette couette peuvent être logés à l'intérieur desdites poches .pour aider au maintien en position de la couette sur ladite face 1A. La face IB est ensuite ramenée à recouvrement sur la couette de manière à s'étendre parallèlement à la face 1A. Les poches triangulaires 5B équipant la face IB de la housse de couette sont alors retournées pour s ' étendre côté externe de la face IB. Les fermetures 3 à glissière peuvent être fermées jusqu'à s'étendre au voisinage du bord 2C puis les poches triangulaires 5B sont ramenées de manière à venir se positionner côté externe de la face 1A comme l'illustre la figure 2. Ainsi, les angles de la face 1A du dessous de la couette sont logés à 1 ' intérieur de cette poche 5B qui constitue un élément de fermeture rapide du bord 2C de la housse. Lorsque les poches triangulaires 5A sont également présentes sur la face 1A du dessous de l'enveloppe, ces poches 5A sont également, avant fermeture des glissières 3, retournées pour s ' étendre côté externe de la face 1A du dessous. Elles seront ainsi recouvertes par les poches 5B de manière à être entièrement masquées. Les rabats 4 sont ensuite positionnés sous le matelas de manière à assurer la fermeture de la zone centrale du bord 2C de la housse. Dans le cas où la couette est de type réversible, les faces 1A, IB constituent tour à tour une face du dessus ou une face du dessous. A cet effet, chaque face est munie de poches triangulaires 5A, 5B dans ces angles jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de la couette. Ainsi, lorsque la face IB devient la face du dessous de la couette, ce sont les poches 5A qui servent à contenir les angles de la face IB jouxtant le bord 2C côté pieds de la housse. Ces poches 5A viennent à recouvrement sur la face externe de la couche IB des poches 5B qui auront été préalablement retournées. C'est pour cette raison que les poches 5A, solidaires de la face 1A de la couette, sont réalisées en un matériau correspondant à celui constitutif de la face IB de la couette et, qu'à l'inverse, les poches 5B, solidaires de la face IB de la housse, sont réalisées en un matériau correspondant . à celui constitutif de la face 1A de la housse. Ces poches 5A, 5B assurent ainsi une continuité des motifs de la face qu'elles recouvrent à l'état solidarisé desdites faces. Ainsi, les rabats 4 et les poches 5A ou 5B constituent les moyens de fermeture et d'ouverture rapides du bord 2C de la housse. Cette housse présente ainsi l'apparence d'une housse conforme à 1 ' état de la technique tout en autorisant, de par sa conception, une mise en place rapide de la couette à l'intérieur de la housse. The operation of such a duvet cover is as follows: The zippers 3 are open and the faces 1A, IB of the duvet cover are thus separated to extend in a position conforming to that shown in FIG. 1. The 1A side of the bottom of the duvet cover is positioned on the bed. The duvet can then be positioned flat on said face. When the additional triangular pockets 6 are present, the angles of this duvet can be accommodated inside said pockets. To help maintain position of the comforter on said face 1A. The face IB is then brought back to overlap on the quilt so as to extend parallel to the face 1A. The triangular pockets 5B equipping the IB side of the duvet cover are then turned over to extend on the external side of the IB side. The zippers 3 can be closed until they extend in the vicinity of the edge 2C then the triangular pockets 5B are brought back so as to be positioned on the external side of the face 1A as illustrated in FIG. 2. Thus, the angles from the face 1A of the underside of the duvet are housed inside this pocket 5B which constitutes an element for rapid closure of the edge 2C of the cover. When the triangular pockets 5A are also present on the face 1A of the underside of the envelope, these pockets 5A are also, before closing the slides 3, turned over to extend on the external side of the face 1A of the bottom. They will thus be covered by the pockets 5B so as to be entirely masked. The flaps 4 are then positioned under the mattress so as to ensure the closure of the central area of the edge 2C of the cover. In the case where the quilt is of the reversible type, the faces 1A, IB constitute in turn a face from above or a face from below. For this purpose, each face is provided with triangular pockets 5A, 5B in these angles adjoining the edge 2C on the foot side of the duvet. Thus, when the face IB becomes the face of the underside of the quilt, these are the pockets 5A which serve to contain the angles of the face IB adjoining the edge 2C on the feet side of the cover. These pockets 5A overlap on the external face of the layer IB of the pockets 5B which have been previously turned over. It is for this reason that the pockets 5A, integral with the face 1A of the duvet, are made of a material corresponding to that constituting the face IB of the duvet and, conversely, the pockets 5B, integral of the side IB of the cover, are made of a corresponding material . to the one constituting the face 1A of the cover. These pockets 5A, 5B thus ensure continuity of the patterns of the face which they cover in the joined state of said faces. Thus, the flaps 4 and the pockets 5A or 5B constitute the means for fast closing and opening of the edge 2C of the cover. This cover thus has the appearance of a cover in accordance with the state of the art while allowing, by design, rapid installation of the duvet inside the cover.
