Description

  The present invention relates to a mattress piece connecting cover of a split mattress for a bed used in hospitals, medical facilities, and the like.

Since the conventional mattress-type mattress is a single piece, it has a large shape and weight. The inventor can divide the mattress into a plurality of mattress pieces, and can be used in the same manner as a single piece by storing them in a mattress cover in which a plurality of mattress piece storage portions are formed based on the bottom cloth. It has been proposed to facilitate the transfer of mattresses when they become dirty or damaged.
(Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-150352, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-128028, etc.)

However, if the mattress piece in use is dirty or damaged, it was possible to replace one of the divided mattress pieces and change the laundry, but only the mattress piece was changed and the mattress cover was not washed much. And the mattress cover that collects the mattress pieces is continuous and it can not be partially removed, so when the mattress cover becomes dirty, you must also remove the mattress piece that is not dirty and replace the mattress cover If it had to be done or part of the cover broke, everything had to be replaced.

Therefore, cover the divided mattress pieces with a cover, sew a ring-shaped joint and a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener on the upper and lower surfaces and side surfaces of the mattress piece cover, fold it back through the hook-and-loop fastener, and bond together However, since the number of hospitalizations is increased due to shortened hospitalization days and mattresses are also used as mattresses, the number of washings is also frequent, so sewing of the fasteners sewn in that case Because the load is applied to the part, the one sewn with the locking tool on the cover may fray to the connection part, and the cover may be damaged, or the metal fitting may be inconvenient when the sheet is laid.
