Abstract

The present invention is broadly directed to both a bed sheet and securement assembly 10 and a bed sheet and dispenser assembly 50. In both aspects the securement assembly 10 and the dispenser assembly 50 comprise an elongate sheet 12a which is one of a plurality of sheets 12a/b provided in a dispensable roll 14 of separable sheets. The bed sheet and securement assembly 10 broadly comprise: 1. the elongate sheet 12a being adapted to cover an exposed or shared upper surface 16 of a bed 18, and including securement openings 20aa and 20ab formed adjacent to each of its opposing ends; 2. securement means 22a and 22b adapted to mount to the bed 18 or proximal its opposing ends and arranged for releasable engagement with the elongate sheet 12a via the securement openings 20aa and 20ab for securement of the elongate sheet 12a to therapy bed 18. sable roll 14 of separable sheets. The bed sheet and securement assembly 10 broadly comprise: 1. the elongate sheet 12a being adapted to cover an exposed or shared upper surface 16 of a bed 18, and including securement openings 20aa and 20ab formed adjacent to each of its opposing ends; 2. securement means 22a and 22b adapted to mount to the bed 18 or proximal its opposing ends and arranged for releasable engagement with the elongate sheet 12a via the securement openings 20aa and 20ab for securement of the elongate sheet 12a to therapy bed 18.

Claims

1. A bed sheet and securement assembly comprising: an elongate sheet being one of a plurality of sheets provided in a dispensable roll of separable sheets, said elongate sheet (i) being adapted to cover exposed or shared surfaces of a bed, and (ii) ing securement openings formed adjacent to each of opposing ends of said sheet; securement means adapted to mount to the bed at or proximal its opposing ends and ed for releasable engagement with the elongate sheet via the securement openings for securement of the elongate sheet to the bed.

2. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the securement means each include a hook fixture ured to cooperate with respective of the ment openings formed in the elongate sheet for releasable engagement of said openings with said hook fixtures for securement of said sheet to the bed.

3. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein each of the hook fixtures includes an elongate member connected to a base mounting of the securement for mounting to the bed, the securement openings being shaped at least in part complementary to the elongate member.

4. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in claim 3 wherein the elongate member includes a pair of prongs extending laterally either side of the base mounting and configured for releasable engagement of the elongate sheet about its securement openings.

5. A bed sheet and securement assembly as d in any one of claims 2 to 4 wherein the securement gs of the elongate sheet are each formed as an aperture in said sheet.

6. A bed sheet and securement ly claimed in claim 5 wherein the apertures are aligned with the elongate member of the hook s mounted at or proximal each end of the bed.

7. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in claim 6 wherein the res are longitudinally separated a ermined distance for fitting of the elongate sheet to the d or shared surface of the bed via the hook fixtures mounted at opposing ends of said bed.

8. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the elongate sheet is formed in one piece from a recyclable and nonwoven material.

9. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in claim 8 wherein the recyclable al is formed in multiple layers being effective in ial filtration.

10. A bed sheet and securement assembly as claimed in either of claims 8 or 9 n the one-piece elongate sheet completely covers the exposed or shared e of the bed.

11. A bed sheet and dispenser assembly comprising: a dispensable roll of a plurality of separable elongate sheets each being adapted to cover an exposed or shared surface of a bed, said sheets each including (i) securement openings formed adjacent to each of opposing ends of said sheet and adapted for releasable engagement with securement means mounted to the bed for securement of said sheet to said bed, and (ii) a tear line defined by a plurality of adjoining tear junctions for adjacent of the separable sheets from the roll; a sheet dispenser configured for g and tearing of the dispensable roll, said dispenser including severing means arranged for alignment with the adjoining tear junctions of adjacent of the sheets for tearing of each of said sheets from the roll.

12. A bed sheet and dispenser assembly as claimed in claim 11 wherein the ng means includes a series of teeth arranged for engagement with the dispensable roll across one of the tear lines wherein the teeth locate between neighbouring of the ing tear junctions to facilitate tearing of each of said sheets from the roll.

13. A bed sheet and dispenser ly as claimed in claim 12 n each of the adjoining tear junctions includes a plurality of frangible tear points located in close proximity to one another.

14. A bed sheet and dispenser assembly as claimed in any one of claims 11 to 13 wherein the sheet dispenser includes capture means located nt the ng means and configured for releasable engagement of one of the securement openings to restrict retraction of the associated sheet within the dispenser during dispensing of one of the sheets from the roll.

15. A bed sheet and dispenser assembly as claimed in claim 14 wherein the capture means includes a fixed latching member configured to cooperate with the securement opening to latch with said opening in the event the associated sheet retracts within the dispenser.
