Definitions

  • the invention proposes to provide a sheet for covering the upper surface and the sides of a mattress, locked thereon by simple means, removable just as simply, having minimum dimensions and accordingly a low cost price permitting to reduce laundry costs in proportion to the reduction of the surface area.
  • the invention is concerned with a sheet intended to cover a mattress, characterised by the presence at each of its corners of a suitable slot dividing the corner in two flaps, the shape and the size of the cut out area being such that when the two flaps are united, the corner of the sheet forms an angled portion which receives the corner of the mattress, and by means permitting to unite the two flaps of a cut out area to form the angled portion.
  • the two flaps can be united by sewing; in this case the angled section is fixed. It is also possible to unite them by a fastening means which permits to form the angled section when the sheet is placed on the mattress and to open it to remove it from the mattress and to wash the sheet. By superimposing the two flaps on a more or less large surface, it is also possible to vary the dimensions of the piece of the angled section and consequently the length of the sides of the sheet. There is thus obtained an Patented Dec. 3, 1968 adjustment of the pull of the sides necessary in order that the sheet be satisfactorily retained on the mattress.
  • the fastening means consists of adhesive strips of the type sold under the trade mark name Velcro, and disclosed in US. Patent No. 2,717,437 issued to G. De Mestral.
  • the sheet can have corners of a single type or of various types.
  • the dimensions of the cutouts are variable and are dimensioned in accordance with the thickness of the mattress.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a sheet two of whose angled sections are sewn and two of whose angled sections are detachable and can be formed by the superimposition of adhesive bands.
  • FIGURE 2 shows the fastening of a corner on a mattress.
  • FIGURE 1 Reference is first made to FIGURE 1.
  • the undersheet 1 as seen from its upper surface has on its corners 2 and 3 cutouts 4 and 5. These cutouts 4 and 5 form flaps 6, 7 and 8, 9. On the upper surface of flaps 7 and 8 are secured two bands, 10 and 11, which adhere when in contact, for example, Velcro band's. On the lower surfaces of flaps 8 and 9 are similarly secured bands 12 and 13 which complement bands 10 and '11. The comers 14 and 15 of sheet 1 are sewn in order to form two angled sections 16 and 17.
  • the adhesive bands secured on the flaps of the sheet can have all desired shapes and dimen- SlOIlS.
  • the sheet of the invention combines the practical advantages desired by users with its ease of manufacture and its dimensions which are hardly greater than those of the mattress it is intended to cover.
  • the invention can naturally be utilized for the securing of all types of covers or of fabrics on all types of objects.
  • the sheet according to the invention can be fabricated from natural, artificial or synthetic fibers which may be mixed together and which may or may not have undergone the bleaching, dyeing, or finishing treatment or any other chemical or physical treatment commonly applied to fibers making up such a sheet.
  • An undersheet construction comprising a central rectangular section having a pocket at one end for receiving an end of a mattress and the like and another end detachably secured to the other end of said mattress and the like, said other end having two corners, each of said corners having a deep, V-shaped notch defining a depending end flap and a pair of cooperating depending side flaps each 'having an end overlapping the extremities of said end flap along a contacting surface, and elongated, mutually adhesive strips on said extremities of said end flap and on said ends of said side flaps for releasably joining said flaps to form a pocket for receiving the other end of said mattress and the like.
