j 2,216,076 a BED ATTACHMENT Henry M. Herbener, Thomasville,Gra.. Application May 5, 1939, serial No. 272,003 s claims.' (01.24-72.53.
A further object of the invention is to pro'-4 videa device of the above-mentioned character which will permitv the bed covers being brought down over the edges of the mattress, springs or the like. A further object of the invention is to. provide a deviceof the above-mentioned character which is neatv and attractive in appearance.
y A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned character which may be readily applied to a spring, or a box spring, andnot materially interfere with normal operations of the same.
A further yobject of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned character, which is collapsible and will be substantially at when collapsed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent in the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout thesamev `Figure'l is a side elevation of attachments embodying my invention, showing them applied to a bed,
Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section taken on linel 2-2 of Figure 1, y
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the attachment removed,
'Figure 4 is a transverse section through the 1-bed, showing attachments applied thereto embodying a modicationof the invention,
Figure 5 is a perspective View of one of the modified attachments, and
Figure 6 is a perspective View of a further modied form of attachment.
Shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, I arrange two of the vattachments I0 at each side of the bed. Each attachment comprises an inverted U-shaped body portion II, having vertical sides I2. These vertical sides extend downwardly and are bent upon themselves at I3, forming vertical arms I4. Thesevvertical arms are spaced laterally from the sides I2 and form vertical pockets I5, for receiving the longitudinal edges of the covers.
In the iirst vform of the invention, the sides lI4 are separate, and their upper yfree ends are bent inwardlyuand downwardly to provide hooks I6,"adapted to engage over the edge of a spring I'I.
`Inthe use of this form of the invention, one or more' of the attachments I0 may be applied to either or both sides of the bed, and the up-l per'ends` of the U'shaped body portion II' will project a suitable distance above the upper surface' of the mattress and covers. In the use of a single bed, particularly if 4the user tosses in'his sleep, v the covers frequently slip off the' bed. My attachments will engage the covers and prevent this slippage. fFurther, if desired, the, edge of the 'covers maybe tucked in between the U-shap'ed' body portion' II and the mattress.. When the bed is being made, the edges of Athe covers'are tucked in between the U-shaped 'body portion'r II and the mattress. The attachment is preferably made of a material which will be resilient,y and hence the U-shaped body portion I Iwilllyield toward andA away from themat-l tress.- lThe lower Aends of the sides I4 engage the 'irame'of the spring orvthe side rails'of the bed, as shown. In the modified form of the invention, as shown'in Figure 5, the arms II4 carry a U-shaped horizontal connecting member I8, which connect the'arms I4. The connecting `member I8 is relatively short vand is adapted to be -passed between `the mattress and the ybox spring. Oppositely arranged connecting members I8, ,of opposed attachments are detachably connected by means of a iiexible strap I9 or the like.r` vThe connecting member I8 is hinged to the arms. I.4,r;at 20, so that the connecting members may be folded back upon the sides I2, when the device is not in use. y
y. `All :ofltheparts of the attachment remain identical ywith those shown and described in connection with the first formof the invention.
,Y InfFigure 6, I have-shown a third modification ofthe invention. In this form of the invention the invented U-shaped body portion II embodies the sides I2, which are bent at their lower ends at 2I to provide vertical arms 22, arranged in the plane of the sides I2 and spaced longitudinally from the sides I2 and respect to the bed. This provides pockets 23 arranged in the plane of the attachment. The arms 22 are connected by a connecting member 24, hinged thereto at 25, and used in a manner similar to the connecting members I8.- When the device is not in use, the U-shaped connecting mem bers 24 are folded into the body portion II and lie in the same plane therein. The collapsed device is entirely flat and may be conveniently stored between the mattress and the spring or box spring. If desired, hooks similar to the hooks IS may be substituted for the connecting member24.
In the use of the last form of the invention, as shown in Figure 6, one or more of the same may be applied to both sides of the bed, and the connecting member 24 shifted to the horizontal position and passed between the mattress and the box spring. The U-shaped body portion Il will extend above the mattress and serve as a guard for the covers, and if desired, the covers may be passed down between the U-shaped body portion `and the edges of the mattress and the box spring, the covers passing through the pockets 23 and outwardly about the arms 22.
A11 forms of the invention have their partsr preferably made of resilient material.
VIt is to be understood that the forms of my invention herewithshown and described are to be taken as preferred examples of the same and that'various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing fromthe spiritof my invention or the scope of the'subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
