DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet to be mounted on a mattress on a bed, and more particularly to a sheet having a considerable number of sheets per day.
The present invention relates to a hospital sheet suitable for use in facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes that require a work for changing sheets.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, hospital-acquired infections caused by MRSA (mesicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) have spread in hospitals,
Hospitalized patients have been infected and some have died. Mesitiline is a drug developed to reduce bacteria that penicillin does not work, but some bacteria do not die even with this antibiotic,
The development of new antibiotics and repeated bacterial resistance continued, and now it is a multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus that does not work with various antibiotics, even healthy people can be detected from the nostrils etc. However, infection of patients with low resistance and severe illness causes severe infections such as pneumonia and sepsis, so disinfection and examination are important conditions as preventive measures.

[0003] Due to the above-mentioned situation, cleanliness is required, and mattresses and pats need to be washed and disinfected. Therefore, the structure is shifting to a compact and lightweight structure that is easy to operate. Conventionally, a flat sheet (a flat sheet) is used on a mattress. In this method, the mattress is put on by putting a pad and a cotton duvet on the mattress, placing a sheet on it, and laying the four edges under the mattress. It took a long time to lay it alone, and now it takes two people.

[0004]

Hospital mattresses are made of materials such as springs, solid cotton, palm and urethane, and have various thicknesses and widths. For this reason, the conventional sheet uses a flat sheet, but in this case, since the mattress is reduced in weight, the workability is extremely poor when replaced by one person, and the replacement is performed by two people. In addition, sheet exchange at the hospital is once a week, but when you turn over, the sheet tends to wrinkle,
It takes time for the nurse to fix it. Furthermore, the position where the sheet is placed on the mattress is a guide, and if the sheet is not adjusted to an appropriate position, the laying width on the rim side cannot be taken, and it will be turned up or slipped during use. There's a problem.

For this reason, an excessively large sheet, which is almost twice as large as the mattress, has been used for the mattress so that the mattress can be excessively laid around the mattress. In addition, there is also the problem of increased water supply and sewage.

As a countermeasure, a box type sheet (same shape as a vinyl cap used when a woman showers) is used. The box-type sheet can be wrapped when put on a mattress because it has rubber underneath, making it easier and quicker to work alone than a flat sheet. When using the iron after washing (for commercial use), the sheet roll passes steam through the hot plate, and the sheet is rolled up with a roller to reduce wrinkles. -When a sheet is inserted between the rollers and the rollers, there is a problem that wrinkles do not grow due to the presence of rubber.

In view of the above, a rectangular sheet is formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet. However, when the sheet is inserted into the sheet roll from one end in the longitudinal direction, the cylindrical sheet is folded at the other end. There was a problem that the part would sag and wrinkle.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and it is possible to easily and quickly set the conventional sheet exchange, which requires time and effort by two people. It is suitable for the user without being rolled up or slipped off during use. In washing and collection, it takes only half the time compared to the conventional flat sheet and box type sheet, and labor saving and working time It is an object of the present invention to provide an economical hospital sheet capable of reducing the time required for hospital treatment.

[0009]
