Definitions

  • the invention concerns a system and a method for covering a gap occurring between two adjacent furniture parts.
  • the furniture cover may advantageously be manufactured in a shape fitting the form of the furniture of which it is to cover.
  • the cover may be used for covering sofas, chairs, beds etc.
  • the invention may be used for various kinds of furniture where a gap may occur between adjacent furniture parts.
  • the inventive system may be used for a bed such as a double bed comprising two separate bed sections, wherein each bed section may be a box mattress, a continental base frame or an ordinary mattress.
  • the double bed is made up by two separate bed sections to facilitate the transport and handling of the bed. But when the bed is assembled, it is a wish among the users that the two bed sections appear as a single unit double bed.
  • a furniture cover in the shape of a form fitted sheet is installed over the bed sections to make it appear as a single unit double bed.
  • a system for covering a gap occurring between two adjacent parts of a furniture, as claimed in claim 1.
  • the holding means may comprise a pocket for the insert of the support element.
  • the furniture cover may be provided with a pocket for receiving the support element.
  • the pocket may be arranged at a surface of the furniture cover and when the furniture cover is placed on the furniture the pocket faces the furniture.
  • the pocket with the support element installed in the pocket then covers at least a portion of the gap, and the support element forms a bridge over the gap so that the fabric of the furniture cover is prevented from being pulled into the gap.
  • the support element displays certain rigidity to be able to prevent the fabric of the furniture cover to get pulled into the gap.
  • both the vertical portion of the gap located at a side portion of the furniture and the portion of the gap located at the top side of the bed/ furniture are visible.
  • the support element in one embodiment has a curved shape for covering both portions of the gap.
  • the curved shape of the support element may be obtained by preforming the support element before inserting it into the holding means such as the pocket.
  • the support element may initially have a non curved or leveled shape and the support element displays certain flexible characteristics which makes it possible to form the support element in accordance with the outline of the furniture thereby covering both the gap at the top portion and at the gap at side portion of the furniture, when putting the furniture cover onto the furniture.
  • the support element may have the shape of a flat element such as a slice having a thickness enabling a curved shape of the support element when being positioned in contact with the furniture.
  • the support element needs to be held in place relative to the furniture cover in order to cover the gap.
  • the holding means helps positioning and holding the support element in a correct position.
  • the holding means may be attached to the furniture parts or the holding means may be attached to the furniture cover. Further the holding means may be made up of several elements capable of positioning and holding the support element correctly to cover the gap.
  • the holding means may be provided by various means able to position the support element in a correct position and holding this position during the use of the bed.
  • the holding means comprises a pocket.
  • the pocket may be constituted by a panel of fabric. The panel is folded and stitched with invisible stitches to the inside surface of the furniture cover which faces the furniture when placed on the furniture.
  • the invention also includes a method for covering a gap occurring between two adjacent parts of a furniture, as claimed in claim 8.
  • the method may also include installing the support element into the pocket for instance by inserting the support element into the pocket through a side opening in the pocket.
  • FIG. 1 two adjacent furniture parts 1, 2 here shown as two bed sections are positioned side by side and a furniture cover 3 is installed over the furniture parts 1, 2.
  • a gap 4 which occurs at the area where the two bed sections are joined, is visible through the furniture cover 3.
  • a portion 5a of the gap is visible at the side or end section of the bed, and another portion 5b of the gap is visible at the top section of the bed, as the fabric of the furniture cover 3 tends to get pulled into the gap 4.
  • a top mattress hides the remaining portion of gap otherwise visible at the top section of the bed.
  • the invention proposes arranging a support member 7 over the portions 5a, 5b of the gap to hide its visibility through the fabric of the furniture cover 3, see fig 4.
  • the support member 7 is arranged in holding means 8 such as a pocket which at its upper end 9 is fixed to the inside surface of the furniture cover for instance by stitches not visible at the outside surface of the furniture cover.
  • holding means 8 such as a pocket which at its upper end 9 is fixed to the inside surface of the furniture cover for instance by stitches not visible at the outside surface of the furniture cover.
  • the support member is inserted into the holding means 8 before installing the furniture cover on the bed, for instance through a side opening as the one shown in fig 4.
  • the position of the holding means 8 ensures the correct position of the support member 7 over the gap portions 5a, 5b.
  • Fig 4 shows the curvature of the support element 7 as it appears when the furniture cover 3 is installed on the bed.
  • the support element 7 is here shown as a rectangular body. The thickness of the rectangular body allows curving the body, and as seen from the figures the support member 7 is shaped to fit the outer contour of the end side of the bed.
  • the support member 7 may be inserted in the holding means 8 in an essentially flat configuration.
  • the flexible features of the support member 7 allows it to be curved thereby obtaining the curvature of the contour/outline of the end side of the bed.
  • the support member 7 may be preformed to fit the outer contour of the bed or the support member 7.
  • Fig 2 and fig 3 show the support member 7 positioned over the gap portions 5a, 5b (not visible) preventing the fabric of the furniture from being pulled into the gap. As seen from these figures, the bed appears as a double bed with no visible crease disturbing the visual image of a continuous end surface.
