COMBINED MATTRESS AND COVER.
Application filed April 27, 1921. Serial in. $64,917.
This invention relates to beds or mattresses for many different purposes such as childrens beds or beds in sleeping cars, or beds in hospitals.
It is an object of this invention to provide a bed with a coverlet that can be securely fastened in place so that the occupant is not likely to displace it by his moving about in the bed.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a coverlet that may be fastened smoothly in place and yet may be left loose enough for the occupant of the bed to be comfortable.
Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specification and the accompanying drawings.
The invention (in a preferred form) is shown in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.
()n the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the bed with the coverlet unfolded.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the mattress without the coverlet and with the pillow in the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 4.
Figure 3 is a section across Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an edge view of the unfolded bed.
Figure 5 is a section similar to Figure 3, showing a modified form.
As shown on the drawings:
-The bed comprises a mattress 1 and a coverlet 2. By means of a flexible connection 3, a pillow i is secured to the mattress. Figure 4 shows this pillow in full lines and in dotted lines the position which the pillow will take when the bed is made up for use. The coverlet is secured to the mattress by snap fasteners. One member 5 ofeeach fastener being permanently attached to the mattress do not extend under the mattress far enough to cover separable fasteners 5. One edge of the coverlet is then secured to the bottom of the mattress by means of these separable fasteners. The mattress and coverlet will then occupy the relative position shown in Figure l, a portion 8 of the coverlet extending beyond the foot of the mattress. The coverlet is then folded across the top of the mattress and the opposite edge of it secured in place by means of the separable fasteners. Finally the extending portion 8 at the foot of the bed is tucked under the bottom of the mattress.
When the bed is to be occupied, one row or a portion of a. row of the separable fasteners are unfastened and the coverlet and upper sheet turned back. If the occupant is a child or a person likely to move about in the bed to such an extent that there is danger of their uncovering themselves, or if the person is an invalid for whom such uncovering would be dangerous, the fasteners that were unfastened in order to permitthe occupant to enter the bed may be fastened again by the nurse or other attendant.
The coverlet is made to fit the bed sufficiently loosely to provide room for the occupant even with these fasteners secured together. The extra width of coverlet will be taken up by the elasticity of the mattress when the bed is empty, so that the made-up bed presents a smooth appearance. If the elasticity of the mattress 1s not sufficient for this, the extra material in the coverlet may be tucked under the bottom of the mattress at either or both edges. The folds or wrinkles thus produced, being beneath the mattress, leave the made-up bed still smooth.
If it is desired, the edge of the coverlet past which the occupant entered the bed may be left unfastened so that the coverlet may yield to the motion of the occupant for greater comfort.
As shown in Figure 3, the coverlet is a quilt, but it does not need to be of quilted nonquilted .part by stitching, as indicated at 11. The margin of the coverlet which is not secured permanently to the mattress should be quilted all the way out to the ed e. This modification is particularly adap for use in sleeping cars, hospitals and the like, where it is desired that the mattress and coverlet shall be identified with each other so that one bed will not be robbed of its coverlet to supply extra cover upon some other bed.
I I am aware that numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
- In combination, a mattress, a pillow secured thereto at one end, a bed cover of a length to extend from the pillow beyond the lower end of the mattress a distancevsufi'icient to permit it to be folded around the lower edge of the mattress, and of a width to extend around'beneath the mattress on both sides, and fastening means comprising pairs of separable cooperating parts one member of each pair being secured to the mattress and the other to the bed cover, the members on the mattress being arranged in two'rows along the under face thereof one row near each longitudinal edge, the distance between said rows and edges being sufiicient to accommodate a turned-under margin of a pair of sheets, and the members on the cover being arranged along the side edges thereof.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
