Description

The bed ensemble Wrap device

Technical field

Relate generally to of the present invention is used for the Wrap device of bed ensemble.

Background technology

Bed ensemble has the base unit that has top surface and lower surface, and puts the mattress that matches that is placed on the top surface.Some bed ensemble is provided with a cover footpost so that base unit is supported on more than the surface water plane, and some is provided with the lower surface of base unit on the ground.

Mattress is coated with sheet usually, and base unit is with or without the dust ruffles covering simultaneously.Ruffle has the panel that is configured to cover top surface and around the side and generally extend to the skirt section on about surface water plane at least from described panel at an end face of base unit, mattress must be taken away with the panel with ruffle from base unit to be placed on the top surface of base unit.Lifting mattress then also is placed on the panel carefully.

Mattress is placed on always causes on the panel that ruffle moves, and make before its panel covers the position on base unit entire top surface, ruffle need be reapposed repeatedly at ruffle.

It is heavier relatively to lift mattress for a people, and its shape is difficult to carry mattress with the suitable posture of carrying weight for a people with size.Thereby a lot of people attempt mattress injured when the base unit of bed ensemble is removed.

The covering that is used for the bed ensemble base unit that can buy on market at present has the dust ruffles that extends to the floor.Problem about this ruffle is various:

1. when making the bed and cover top sheet and/or blanket, dust ruffles always holds sheet/blanket and rolls over below the mattress of top.For fear of this situation, must before covering sheet/blanket, manage to lift the top mattress, perhaps keep dust cover to hang down managing simultaneously turning up the sheet/blanket below the mattress.These tasks are difficult to finish and produce the difficulty when making the bed.

2. the known dust ruffles of inventor has extend through base unit top surface and the attached panel between mattress and the base unit of packing into usually.Must remove mattress and load onto or remove dust ruffles.This not only produces tangible problem for senior people but also for medium athlete.Except removing the difficulty of mattress, when mattress was replaced, if not it slowly is put on the position carefully, dust ruffles often skidded off the position.Need two or more people to come mobile mattress so that dust ruffles skids off the tendency minimum of position.

3. when the bed ensemble with base unit that is supported by wheeled support legs moved, roller was always pushed down dust ruffles, caused to besmirch and in some cases the tearing of fabric.

4. dust ruffles in the market attractive in appearance is loose or pleating and falls on the floor.Especially, they are unsuitable for contemporary dwelling house, boy's room and such as the emergency dwelling of beach house.In some cases, bed is configured to expose footpost when loading onto known dust ruffles.

5. common, the dust ruffles that can buy on the market is designed to the size in strict conformity with base unit.About installing to more than a kind of sizes such as family, hotel or hospital, do not allow any adaptability.Too big dust ruffles is easy to fall on the floor for bed, and it is understood dirty and is stepped on; Otherwise too little dust ruffles can not extend to the floor, does not reach the purpose as dust ruffles thus.Overall appearance is all unsatisfactory in two kinds of situations.

6. the known dust ruffles of inventor is blocked and is stoped dust owing to the richness of fabric with from the length of base unit.People responsive to dust or that have such as certain disease of asthma stands increasing expiratory dyspnea.In addition, a known bed ruffle is not easy to remove from the bed washing, so people stay put them the often quite long washroom interval.Thereby, because the increase of the amount of dust that dust ruffles is blocked expiratory dyspnea becomes more and more heavier.Need bed down air flow freely and be easy near bed down regularly to clean or to sweep with dust catcher.In addition, bed need be easy to move and roller can not pushed down a ruffle.

Because known dust ruffles needs a lot of fabrics, manufacturing cost is higher relatively.The retail cost height of product as a result.
