DE102022132545A1 - Duvet and pillowcase with internal insert pockets and 3-sided full-length zip - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a cover, especially for bed linen such as pillows, duvets, other pillows and the like, with four sides. In order, on the one hand, to simplify the insertion of the bed linen into the cover and, on the other hand, to prevent the bed linen from slipping within the cover during use, it is proposed that the cover has a zipper (1) on three sides and at least one internal insert pocket (2).

Description

The invention relates to a cover, especially for bed linen such as pillows, duvets, other pillows and the like, with four sides.

background

The invention relates in particular to a bed linen cover with a continuous three-sided zipper and internal insert pockets as well as a pillowcase with a continuous three-sided zipper.

State of the art

The disadvantage of well-known bed linen and pillowcases is the following: Bed linen and pillowcases are usually characterized by a one-sided zipper or press studs for inserting the duvet or pillow. This makes loading and especially moving in, especially very large bed linen, challenging. Inexperienced users and people with physical disabilities also have the problem that the corners of the duvet are not flush with the corners of the bed linen, so that the duvet slips within the bed linen. In addition, dust and fine particles are created, which are stirred up by the obligatory "shaking" of the bed linen after changing, causing problems particularly for allergy sufferers and sensitive users.

From the DE 20 2014 010 124 U1 is a bed linen cover with a zipper that opens on three sides and one or two zipper sliders (zippers). In addition, the well-known cover has four rounded corners, two of which are surrounded by the zipper. Due to the course of the zipper, which ends at a distance in front of the two other rounded corners, the well-known cover can be opened almost completely, which makes it easier to insert a duvet. Nevertheless, the problem of unintentional shifting or displacing of the duvet within the cover is not solved in the known embodiment.

From the CN 203088441 U A duvet cover is also known which has a zipper running around three side edges with only one slider (zipper). The problem is the same as with the German utility model explained above.

Also those in the EP 0 104 274 The multi-purpose blanket described has a rectangular basic shape with a zipper running along three side edges. However, the previously known blanket is intended to serve as a "multi-purpose blanket" in that it has a hole in the center for a person's head to be put through, and can be converted into a cape with the help of snap fasteners attached to the edge. Using the zippers, the multi-purpose blanket can also be converted into a sleeping bag. It is not intended to be used as a bed linen cover and does not make sense due to the inability to close the fourth side.

From the EP 0 853 907 A1 A comforter cover can be removed that has a bottom sheet section that is intended to lie under the comforter and an upper section that is intended to lie over the top of the comforter. The two aforementioned sections are formed in one piece (or via a suitable connecting means) along one side of the known reference. In addition, in the area of the side on which the upper and lower sections of the cover are (permanently) connected to one another, there are straps in both corners as well as in the middle area, to which the bed linen to be picked up is attached with straps in corresponding places to prevent slipping. On the one hand, attaching the bed linen straps to the cover straps in the form of knots or using Velcro is complex. In addition, the known duvet cover cannot be used universally, but only with bed linen that has special straps on one end. This limits the usability in an unacceptable way.

Another duvet cover with an openable closure on three sides is from the GB 2330302 A known. In this case, the closure can be in the form of buttons, a zipper, Velcro or similar.

Task and solution of the invention

The object of the invention was to create a bed linen cover that makes it easier to put on bed linen and eliminates unwanted side effects of “classic bed linen”. In addition, the bed linen should be prevented from slipping within the cover while it is being used.

This object is achieved according to the invention in the case of a cover, in particular for bed linen of the type mentioned at the outset, in that the cover has a zipper (1) on three sides, the bed and pillow cover being able to be completely opened and how, in particular by means of the zipper (1). which is lockable. Furthermore, the stated object is achieved according to the invention by the internal insert pockets (2), since when the duvet cover is closed, the bed linen does not get caught and the inserted duvet does not slip.

Advantages of the invention

Among other things, the following advantages are achieved: The invention also ensures that the blanket and the pillow can be inserted and not covered as was previously the case. This advantage is achieved by a three-sided zipper, which is a continuous, uniform element sewn on the inside.

Furthermore, the duvet is prevented from slipping within the cover.

To achieve this advantage, the internal insert pockets (2) on the duvet cover fix the blanket in the cover.

When closing the bed linen cover, there is no longer any need to shake or pull at the corners, as the blanket and pillow are already in the optimal position. In addition, the internal insert pockets (2) prevent the blanket from getting caught in the zipper (1) when you press it.

It is particularly important that both the blanket and the pillow are inserted into the bed and pillowcase and do not need to be covered.

When developing the invention, the inventor overcame the following technical difficulties in a way that was not obvious: The technical difficulties arose with the zipper (1), since on the one hand it should be continuous over three sides and on the other hand it should not be noticeable to the customer. To overcome this problem, the entire length of the zipper (1) was sewn so far inside that the duvet cover forms a bead over the zipper (1). This means that the zipper (1) is hardly noticeable from the outside.

Further technical difficulties arose with the internal insert pockets (2), which are used to fix the ceiling. The size of the sewn fabric triangles is crucial here. If the insert pockets (2) are too small, the blanket will not be secured sufficiently. Therefore, the insert pockets (2) must be at least 30 cm large on each side.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are listed in the subclaims.

• - dass eine der beiden Innenseiten des Bezugs die innenliegenden Einlegetaschen (2) aufweist, wobei diese in den Ecken angeordnet sind,
• - dass die innenliegenden Einlegetaschen (2) eine dreieckige Form haben,
• - dass der Reißverschluss (1) ein einheitliches Element ist und durchgehend entlang der drei Seiten verläuft,
• - dass der Reißverschluss (1) innenliegend angenäht ist,
• - dass die innenliegenden Einlegetaschen (2) mindestens 30 cm je Seite lang sind.

So it is suggested,

• - that one of the two inside sides of the cover has the internal insert pockets (2), these being arranged in the corners,
• - that the internal insert pockets (2) have a triangular shape,
• - that the zipper (1) is a uniform element and runs continuously along the three sides,
• - that the zipper (1) is sewn on the inside,
• - that the internal insert pockets (2) are at least 30 cm long on each side.

Figure list

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to drawings. In all drawings, the same reference numbers have the same meaning and are therefore only explained once if necessary.

• 1 den Bettwäsche- und Kissenbezug gemäß der Erfindung im geschlossenen Zustand und
• 2 den geöffneten Bettwäsche- und Kissen- bezug nach 1 mit innenliegenden Einlegetaschen.

Show it

• 1 the bed linen and pillowcase according to the invention in the closed state and
• 2 the opened bed linen and pillowcase 1 with internal insert pockets.

Structure of the bed linen and pillowcase

In 1 a bed and pillow cover according to the invention with a continuous, internal zipper with a zipper on three sides is shown in the closed state. The zipper (1) completely surrounds the cover except for one side. This is a full-length, one-piece zipper that runs around two corners. The four internal insert pockets (2), which are not visible when closed, are shown.

In 2 The opened bed and pillow cover is shown with the internal insert pockets (2). The insert pockets are attached to the zipper material (1) and form an internal cavity for inserting blankets.

How to work with the bed linen and pillowcase according to the invention

• Schritt 1: Bei geschlossenem Bezug wirkt der Bettwäschen- und Kissenbezug wie jede andere Bettwäsche (1).
• Schritt 2: Zum Beziehen der Bettwäsche wird der innenliegende Reißverschluss (1) mit Hilfe des Zippers um alle 3 Ecken gezogen.
• Schritt 3: Nun kann der Bettwäschen- und Kissenbezug zur Seite hin aufgeklappt werden (2).
• Schritt 4: Im geöffneten Zustand können Decke und Kissen entsprechend auf eine Seite des Bezugs eingelegt werden. Die innenliegenden Einlegetaschen (2) dienen der zusätzlichen Fixierung der Decke, damit diese nicht innerhalb des Bezuges verrutscht.
• Schritt 5: Nach dem Einlegen von Decke und Kissen können die Bezüge durch den Reißverschluss (1) wieder geschlossen werden.

The working method is explained in detail below:

• Step 1: When the cover is closed, the bed linen and pillowcase act like any other bed linen ( 1 ).
• Step 2: To cover the bed linen, pull the inside zipper (1) around all 3 corners using the zipper.
• Step 3: Now the bed linen and pillowcase can be opened to the side ( 2 ).
• Step 4: When open, the blanket and pillow can be placed on one side of the cover. The internal insert pockets (2) serve to additionally secure the blanket so that it does not slip within the cover.
• Step 5: After inserting the blanket and pillow, the covers can be closed again using the zipper (1).

A significant advantage is that this invention generates further advantages for the customer. On the one hand, the bed linen no longer needs to be shaken, which is beneficial for allergy sufferers, and on the other hand, the simple act of changing is particularly helpful for people with physical disabilities and inexperienced users.

Another advantage is that the zipper (1) and the internal insert pockets (2) can be used for any size, color and quality level of various bed and pillow covers. The advantage of the invention increases the larger and therefore more unwieldy the duvet to be covered becomes.
