BED-LINEN. v

Application led October 21.1, 1916. Serial No. 127,455.

To all 'whom z' may concern: l

Be it known that I, ANITA VON R. HAN- SEN, a citizen 'of the United States, and a while making up the bed, and which envelop may also be used alone if desired, and may be made very attractive to enhance the appearance of the bed.

A further object is to provide a readily removable sham for the bolster used during the day and which sham mayalso be used with the pillows at night, an ornamental flap being preferably provided thereon for concealing the portions upon which the head of a sleeper had lain when the bed is made up,` said sham being readily laundried l:5nd contributing to the appearance of the My invention is fully described in the fol'- lowing specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which like characters refer to like parts in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is an upper plan view of my envelop in use, partly broken away to show details;

Fig. 2 is `an enlarged `section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; l

Fig. 3 is a simliarl section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a similar section taken on the line 4:-4 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is a view of my sham used with the bolster;

Fig. 6 is a view thereof inclosing pillows, ready for use for sleeping; and

Fig.' 7 is a transverse section taken through the sham; 1

Referring to Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, 8 represents the under solid portion of the envelop having. side flaps 9 and 10 and

end flaps

11 and 12 joined thereto and constituting .the upper portion 0f the envelop, the

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented 0ct. 2, 191,7.

flaps 9, 10 and-11 being preferably joined at iieir *intersections whereas the flap 12 is ee. Within the envelop, at the sides thereof,

are strips 13 provided with spaced'button holes, at the foot thereof is a strip 14 likewise provided with spaced button holes, and at the head thereof is a strip 15 likewise provided with spaced button holes, these strips being blanket holders, and all of the iaps are also provided with spaced button holes and serve as a holder for a comfortable.

In assembling, the Hap 1 2 is opened, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, and a blanket 16 provided with buttons 17 is arranged beneath the side and foot flaps, the

said buttons being inserted into the respective button holes in the oppositely arranged side strips 13, after which a blanket 18 is similarly arranged within the envelop and buttons 19 thereon inserted into the respective button holes in the foot and head strips 14 and 15, respectively.

The more or less elaborate comfortable 20 is then similarly arranged within the envelop and buttons 21 thereon inserted into the respective holes in the

iiaps

9, 10, 11 and 12, and the blankets, comfortable, and envelop, constitute a unit for handling, the solid under portion 8 being next to the sleeper and obviating the need for an upper sheet.

The sham 22 is cylindrical in form and open at one side, buttons 23 being provided to close this opening, and said sham may be used upon the pillows while the bed is in use, or may be used upon the bolster during the time when the bed is not in use, an ornamental ap24 being held along one edge to the sham by the buttons 23 and being used to cover the soiled or rumpled portions of the sham when the bed is not being used and being thrown back` out of the way, or detached, when the bed is in use.

The envelop and sham are intended to be.

bed clothing orin making the bed, and I- may use duplicates of the strips for holding the blankets where more than two blankets are desired.

My invention is very simple though entirely practical and Will appeal to housekeepers generally in View of the impossibility of soiling the blankets, thereby overcoming the present necessity for frequent Washing of said blankets, and this is also true with respect to the pillow cases.

While I have shown a simple ornamentation of the bed set, I do not limit myself to such ornamentation as I may make the same as elaborate as may be desired by fastidious people or I may dispense With all ornamentation for people of simplel tastes.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the class described, comprisingj an envelop having a solid under side, flaps on its upper side at the edges thereof, the side Haps and one end l'lap being joined together` and the other end flap being free, strips Within said envelop secured with one of their longitudinal edges at the edges of the envelop whereby they are free to accommodate a blanket below as Well as above thestri and means for connecting said flaps and strips With bed coverings.

2. A device of the class described comprising, an envelop having flaps on its upper side at the edges thereof, strips Within
