Description

  The present invention relates to a mattress cover that can be easily replaced.

  Conventionally, a general-purpose mattress cover is formed by using a woven fabric to have a larger length and width than the mattress. When performing bed making using such a mattress cover, first, as shown in FIG. 8, one of the workers attaches the front folded portion 52 of the mattress cover 51 to the front part 24 of the mattress S laid on the bed. Hold it folded under. Then, after another worker pulls the rear folded portion 53 of the mattress cover 51 backward as shown by the arrow J to expand the mattress cover 51, the rear folded portion 53 of the mattress S rear portion 25 is drawn as shown by the arrow K. Fold it down. At this time, the mattress cover 51 cannot be tightened unless one of the workers has the front folded portion 52 firmly. Subsequently, the left-side folded portion and the right-side folded portion of the mattress cover 51 are folded under the left and right portions of the mattress S, respectively, thereby completing the bed making operation.

  As described above, at least two workers are required to perform the bed making operation so that the conventional general-purpose mattress cover 51 can be firmly stretched. Further, all of the front folded portion 52, the rear folded portion 53, the left folded portion, and the right folded portion are only inserted between the mattress S and the bed, and the mattress cover 51 is formed. Since the woven fabric to be stretched hardly stretches, each folded portion is gradually displaced by the movement of the bed user, and may be dislodged from the insertion position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, when the mattress cover 51 is used for the mattress S on the electric bed 60, when the front part 61 of the electric bed 60 is raised and driven, the front end 52 of the mattress cover 51 is displaced and turned up. Sometimes. As a result, the mattress cover 51 becomes slack, and many wrinkles 54, 54, 54,... Are generated at positions corresponding to the bent portions of the electric bed 60, which may impair the appearance.

  On the other hand, a mattress cover which is considered easy to replace is described in Patent Document 1 below. The mattress cover disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an upper cover member that covers only the upper surface of the mattress, a lower cover member that covers a portion other than the upper surface of the mattress, a button that detachably locks the upper cover member with the lower cover member, and It is provided with locking means such as a button hole. With this configuration, since the upper cover member can be attached to and detached from the lower cover member, the upper cover member with much dirt can be replaced even when a person is laid on the mattress.

JP-A-11-9414

  However, in the mattress cover disclosed in Patent Document 1, when replacing the upper cover member, about ten buttons must be removed from the button holes one by one or fastened. Therefore, it takes time and effort to replace the upper cover member, which is not suitable when a large number of beds are required. Further, since the configuration is complicated, there is a problem that the production is troublesome and the production cost is high.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a mattress cover which can be made quickly and easily by one person while being inexpensive with a simple structure. Is what you do.

  In order to achieve the above object, a mattress cover according to the present invention includes a top cover portion that covers the top surface of the mattress, and a left-side folded portion that extends from the left end of the top cover portion and is folded downward on the left side of the mattress. A right-side folded portion extending from the right end of the top cover portion and folded down to the right side of the mattress; and a front fold extending from the front end of the top cover portion and folded down to the front lower portion of the mattress. And a top cover portion, a left-side folded portion, a right-side folded portion, and a front-folded portion are made of a knit fabric, and an overlap portion between the left-side folded portion and the front-folded portion, and a right-side folded portion The overlapping part of the part and the front folded part is joined to each other to form a front accommodation part for accommodating the front part of the mattress.

  Also, an upper surface covering portion for covering the upper surface of the mattress, a left folded portion extending from the left end of the upper surface covering portion and folded downward on the left side of the mattress, and extending from a right end of the upper surface covering portion. A right-side folded portion that is folded down below the right side portion of the mattress, a front folded portion that extends from the front end of the top cover portion and is folded down below the front portion of the mattress, and extends from the rear end of the top cover portion. And a rear fold portion folded downwardly at the rear of the mattress, and a top cover portion, a left fold portion, a right fold portion, a front fold portion, and a rear fold portion are formed of knit fabric, and a left fold portion is provided. Overlap with the front fold, overlap with the right fold and front fold, overlap with the left fold and rear fold, and right fold By joining the overlapping portion of the minute and the rear folding part, the front part, the left part, the right part, and the peripheral part accommodating the rear part of the mattress are formed, and the entrance and exit of the mattress are formed in the peripheral part, The peripheral bag part which is communicated in the circumferential direction over the entire peripheral edge of the entrance is formed in the peripheral accommodating part, and the rubber wire is inserted into the entire peripheral bag part so that the entrance is elastically reduced in diameter. is there.

  According to the mattress cover of the present invention, the front accommodation portion is positioned and latched by the front portion of the mattress being accommodated in the front accommodation portion, so that even one worker can quickly and easily make the bed of the mattress. be able to. Therefore, it is suitable when a large number of cover exchanges must be performed in a short time. In addition, because it is composed of stretchable knit fabric, it can cover the mattress in an elastically stretched state, and the stretched state of the knit fabric follows even if the user moves, so that the stretched state is maintained for a long time. You. The knitted fabric provides comfort to the user, is less likely to wrinkle, and is easy to wash and dry. Also, ironing is not required because the appearance does not change much with or without ironing. Due to these advantages, the duvet cover of the present invention is extremely easy to handle.

  In addition, a peripheral accommodating portion for accommodating the front portion, the left side portion, the right side portion, and the rear portion of the mattress is formed, and an outlet for the mattress is formed in the peripheral accommodating portion, and the entirety of the mattress is communicated in the circumferential direction over the entire periphery of the inlet / outlet. In the case where the peripheral bag portion is formed in the peripheral housing portion and the rubber wire is inserted into the entire peripheral bag portion so as to elastically reduce the diameter of the inlet / outlet, the bed can be quickly and easily made as described above. Needless to say. In addition, the left fold, right fold, front fold, and rear fold are pulled inward by the contraction force of the rubber filaments, and the top cover is pulled toward each peripheral edge accordingly. So that the top cover part is stretched even more strongly. Further, since the rear portion of the mattress is accommodated by the rear folded portion, the rear end portion of the top cover portion does not turn up in a normal use state.

The best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are merely examples in which the present invention is embodied, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Here, FIG. 1 is a bottom view of the mattress cover according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a knitted fabric which is a raw material of the mattress cover. It is a bottom view.
In each of the drawings, a mattress cover 1 according to this embodiment includes a top cover 2 covering the upper surface of the mat S (see FIG. 4), and a left end 20 of the mat S extending from a left end 20 of the top cover 2. 26, a right-side folded portion 4 extending from the right end 21 of the top cover 2 and folded below the right portion 27 of the mattress S, A front fold portion 5 extending from the front end 22 and being folded below the front portion 24 of the mattress S.

The above-mentioned upper surface covering portion 2, left side folded portion 3, right side folded portion 4, and front folded portion 5 are integrally formed, and as shown in FIG. can get. However, a plurality of knitted fabrics may be joined together. The overlapping portion 6 between the left folded portion 3 and the front folded portion 5 is joined with the sewing thread P, and the overlapping portion 7 between the right folded portion 4 and the front folded portion 5 is joined with the sewing thread P. Thereby, the front accommodation portion 8 capable of accommodating the front portion 24 of the mattress S is formed.
In this example, the knitted fabric N is knitted into a waffle knitting (honeycomb knitting) structure by a circular knitting machine using, for example, a blend yarn of 40% polyester and 60% cotton. However, the knitted fabric used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate elasticity, and is not particularly limited in the type of knitting yarn or knitting structure. And what has quick drying is desirable. The sewing thread P is made of, for example, a polyester wooly thread. However, the thread is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate elasticity, and a thread having high washing durability is preferable.

  Subsequently, a bed making operation using the mattress cover 1 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. The bed-making worker first arranges the front storage section 8 of the mattress cover 1 in front of the front portion 24 of the mattress S laid on a bed (not shown) (FIG. 4A). Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the front accommodating portion 8 of the mattress cover 1 is disposed at the front folded portion 5 in front of the front portion 24 (FIG. 4A). Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, the front folded portion 5 is inserted below the front portion 24 (arrow D), so that the front portion 24 is housed in the front housing portion 8. Next, the worker goes around the back of the mattress S and holds the rear end 9 of the mattress cover 1 and pulls it rearward (arrow E). At this time, since the front end 22 of the mattress cover 1 is hung on the front part 24 of the mattress S accommodated in the front accommodating portion 8, the position does not shift. Therefore, the rear end portion 9 can be strongly pulled backward, and the upper surface cover portion 2 can be in a stretched state. Then, while the upper surface covering portion 2 is in the expanded state, the rear end portion 9 is pulled rearward and downward (arrow F) as shown in FIG. 3C, and the upper surface covering portion 2 is put on the upper surface of the mattress S. The rear end 9 is folded under the rear part 25 of the mattress S as shown in FIG. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3E, the right-side folded portion 4 is folded below the right-side portion 27 of the mattress S (arrow G). Finally, as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the left side folded portion 3 is folded below the left side portion 26 of the mattress S (arrow H), thereby completing the bed making operation (FIG. 5). Incidentally, such a series of bed making operations were completed by one worker in a short time of about 3 seconds from the start of the operation. In addition, after FIG.7 (e), you may fold the left side folded part 3 first and then fold the right side folded part 4 first.

  As described above in detail, since the mattress cover 1 includes the front housing portion 8 having a simple configuration, it can be provided easily and at low cost. In addition, by using the front storage section 8, even one worker can quickly and easily make the bed of the mattress S. Therefore, it can be suitably used in hospitals, nursing homes, accommodation facilities, and the like where a large number of covers, such as hundreds of beds, must be exchanged in a short time. Of course, the same effect can be obtained when used at home. Since the mattress cover 1 is made of a stretchable knit fabric N, as shown in FIG. 5, the mattress S can be covered with the appearance of the mattress S in a stretched state, and the stretched state is maintained for a long time. In addition, the knitted fabric N is bulky, has a high heat retention, and has a good touch, so that it gives the user a comfortable sleeping feeling. Further, the knitted fabric N has good air permeability, is easy to wash and dry, and does not require ironing, so that the mattress cover 1 which is extremely easy to handle is provided.

  By the way, when the bed is made by putting the front accommodation section 8 of the mattress cover 1 on the rising end of the mattress when using the mattress on the electric bed, even if the electric bed rises and is driven, the front accommodation section 8 holds the mattress. Because it is hooked on the rising end, that part does not shift in position or fall off. As a result, the state of extension of the upper surface covering portion 2 of the mattress cover 1 does not decrease so much. At the same time, the knitted fabric N is a material that does not easily wrinkle. Therefore, the degree of wrinkles generated on the mattress cover 1 at a position corresponding to the bent portion of the electric bed is reduced, and the appearance of the mattress cover 1 is not significantly impaired. Further, since the rubber wire is not used, the rubber wire does not become unusable due to the elongation of the rubber wire due to the use over time, and the rubber wire is not replaced.

  Next, a bottom view of the mattress cover 1a according to another embodiment is shown in FIG. This mattress cover 1a has almost the same configuration as the mattress cover 1 described above, but the configuration is different in the following points. First, a rear fold portion 10 is provided which extends from the rear end 23 of the top cover portion 2 and is folded below the rear portion 25 of the mattress S. The rear folded portion 10 is also integrally formed of the same knit fabric N together with the top cover portion 2, the left folded portion 3, the right folded portion 4, and the front folded portion 5. Next, the overlapping portion 11 of the left folded portion 3 and the rear folded portion 10 and the overlapping portion 12 of the right folded portion 4 and the rear folded portion 10 are joined with a sewing thread P, respectively. Thereby, the peripheral edge accommodating part 13 accommodating the front part 24, the left part 26, the right part 27, and the rear part 25 of the mattress S is formed. Then, the portion surrounded by the front folded portion 5, the left folded portion 3, the right folded portion 4, and the rear folded portion 10 of the peripheral accommodating portion 13 moves the mattress S into and out of the peripheral accommodating portion 13. It is the entrance 14 of the door. Further, a full-peripheral bag portion 16 communicating in the circumferential direction is formed over the entire periphery of the peripheral edge 15 of the inlet / outlet 14 of the peripheral-edge housing portion 13. A rubber thread (rubber filament) 17 is inserted in the entire peripheral bag portion 16. The entrance 14 is elastically reduced in diameter by the rubber filament 17.

According to the mattress cover 1a, similarly to the mattress cover 1 described above, a single worker can quickly and easily make a bed, and the use of the knitted fabric N makes it possible to relatively easily open the spread state. As a result, the extended state can be maintained for a long time.
In addition, the contraction force of the rubber filament 17 pulls the left bent portion 3, the right bent portion 4, the front folded portion 5, and the rear folded portion 10 inward, respectively, and accordingly the upper surface covering portion 2 becomes peripheral. The upper cover portion 2 is stretched more strongly than the above-mentioned mattress cover 1 because it is pulled toward the portion. In addition, since the rear portion 25 of the mattress S is accommodated by the rear folded portion 10, the rear end of the upper surface covering portion 2 does not turn up in a normal use.

  The rubber filament used in the present invention is not limited to a rubber thread or a rubber cord covered with a knitted fabric, but may be a rubber wire without a knitted fabric alone.
