  • disposable covering 10 having its backing strip 12 removed, is applied to headrest 14 of chair 15.
  • the exposed adhesive of strip 11 is pressed against the fabric or upholstery of top portion 14 so as to maintain covering 10 in a fixed, non-adjustable position, in order to withstand the movement of persons using chair 15.
  • Adhesive strip 11 is translucent, and not visible from the front side of covering 10 so that the cover appears to be floating freely on headrest 14 of chair 15.
  • Adhesive of strip 11 has a greater adherence to the non-woven fibers of fabric covering 10 than to the fabric, upholstery, or vinyl covering of headrest 14 of chair 15. Therefore, after headrest covering 10 has become soiled, it can easily be peeled away from headrest 14 without leaving any traces of adhesive. Moreover, the adhesiveness of strip 11 is not so destructively strong as to pull away any part of the surface of the vinyl, upholstery, or fabric covering of headrest 14.
  • a mattress cover 22 which may be constructed from the same disposable non-woven fabric as covering 10.
  • An adhesive strip 24 is mounted on one side substantially along the four edges of covering 22 and protected by backing strips 23, similar to backing strip 12 of covering 10.
  • Disposable mattress cover 22 is constructed only slightly larger than mattress 21, so that its edges containing adhesive strip 24 can be folded against the sides of mattress 21 in contact with its fabric body.
  • Adhesive strips 24 are positioned and secured to mattress cover 22 beneath each of the backing strips 23 and end strips 29. At the corners of mattress cover 22 are shown in dotted lines, the fold lines which will occur when the mattress cover is tucked in the mitered corners against the mattress.
  • Lines 26 and 27 define the sides of the mattress where the fold line will occur, and line 28 defines the fold of the resulting flap which will occur when fold lines 26 and 27 are formed on each corner of the mattress.
  • the flaps, defined by folds 28 are folded over toward the adhesive strips 24 which are underneath backing strips 29A.
  • the removal of backing strips 29A will permit the flaps to adhere to about half of the adhesive strip underneath backing strip 29.
  • the second portion of the end adhesive strips 24, covered by backing strips 29B remain exposed in order to grip the fabric surface at the end of mattress 21. Therefore, each adhesive strip 24 at the ends of the mattress, and covered by backing strip 29 serve a dual purpose of securing the corner flaps defined by fold lines 28, and retaining cover 22 to the ends of mattress 21.
  • mattress cover 22 need only extend over one edge around the mattress since the strength of adhesive strips 24 is sufficient to resist the movement of persons using mattress 21 without becoming unfastened.
  • bed 20 is also shown having a disposable sheet 32 which includes a plurality of adhesive strips 34 covered by backing strips 33 and 39 around three sides of sheet 32.
  • Adhesive strips 34 are not placed on ends 31 of sheet 32 in order to permit sheet 32 to be folded back near the head of the bed at fold line 30.
  • the foot of sheet 32 includes in dotted line, folds 36 and 37 which define the mitered edges of the mattress and fold line 38 which defines the fold of the flap to be tucked in along the sides of the mattress and secured by adhesive 34 which is located under each of backing strips 39A.
  • Sheet 32 and mattress cover 22 may, if desired, be provided with one or more holes 41 and 40 located between fold lines 28 or 38, and lines 27 or 37, which will permit the adhesive strips under backing strips 29A or 39A to also secure the adjoining flap surfaces between lines 26 and 28, or between lines 36 and 38. Therefore, in the manner similar to that described with respect to mattress cover 22, adhesive strips 34 which are contained under backing strips 39B will remain exposed after strip 39B is removed in order to secure the sheet against mattress cover 22, or the fabric of mattress 21, as shown in detail in FIG. 6.
  • the cost of adding the adhesive strips to disposable cover 22 and sheet 32 is negligible compared to the cost of providing the additional 30-40% of non-woven fabric as in the case of conventional coverings. Therefore, the present invention provides substantial savings for hospitals, institutions and the like which utilize large quantites of disposable mattress covers and sheets.
  • mattress cover 22 and sheet 32 can easily be removed from mattress 21 by pulling adhesive strips 24 and 34 away from the fabric of the mattress. Like- Wise, none of the adhesive remains stuck to the mattress, nor destructively harms the fabric surfaces of the mattress. Mattress cover 22 and sheet 32 can be quickly changed so that bed 20 will be available without delay, to receive another patient.
  • FIGS. 8-14 are therefore designed to retain the backing strips or releasing agents to the covering after the adhesive has been exposed. Therefore, in these embodiments, a further adhesive is provided for retaining the backing strips or releasing agent to the headrest at all times.
  • FIGS. 8 and 8a there is shown a disposable covering 50 constructed from non-woven material and having adhesive surfaces 52 and 53 disposed along one of its edges.
  • a backing strip 51 is folded over the exposed adhesive surfaces 52 and 53 for their protection.
  • covering 50 is applied to the back of a chair 14, approximately half of backing strip 51 is lifted away from covering 50 to expose adhesive surface 52 so that it may be secured to headrest 14.
  • Adhesive surface 53 retains backing strip 51 to covering 50 during its use.
  • FIGS. 9 and 9a there is shown a disposable non-woven covering 60 whose one end is folded over upon itself to include backing strip 61.
  • Adhesive 62 secures backing strip 61 to covering 60 while backing strip 61 protects adhesive 63 which is secured on the surface of covering 60.
  • the edge of covering 60 is opened up so that backing strip 61 is removed from adhesive 63 so as to expose the adhesive surface to headrest 14.
  • Backing strip 61 remains secured through adhesive 62 to covering 60 while the covering is being used.
  • covering 70 which is similar in construction to the previously-described coverings is folded over at its edge and includes a silicon release agent 72 which covers over adhesive portion 73.
  • the edge of covering 70 is opened up so as to detach silicon release agent 72 from adhesive layer 73 so that the adhesive can be applied to headrest 14.
  • covering 70 can be removed by pulling downward on its edge portion containing release agent 72 so as to pull adhesive 73 away from the surface of headrest 14.
  • FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 have been constructed for stacking a plurality of coverings one upon the other so that when each covering is removed from the stack, its adhesive surface becomes immediately exposed so that the covering is ready to be applied.
  • these stacking arrangements become particularly advantageous since stacks having particular numbers of coverings equal to the number of seats in the vehicle may be distributed to maintenance personnel between trips or flights.
  • FIG. 11 discloses a plurality of non-woven disposable coverings 75 stacked one upon the other.
  • Each of the coverings 75 includes an adhesive 76 disposed along one surface of its edge and covered by backing strips 77.
  • the coverings can be removed by peeling away their adhesive bearing edge from backing strips 77.
  • FIG. 12 discloses still another embodiment of the invention wherein at least one edge of a disposable nonwoven covering 80 includes a plurality of spaced-apart openings 82 which expose adhesive surfaces 83 through the openings.
  • a backing strip 81 covers over the back side of the adhesives so as to permit a plurality of coverings 80 to be stacked one upon the other without sticking together.
  • non-woven disposable covering 85 includes on one surface along its edge, an adhesive 87. On the opposite surface of the same edge, a backing strip 86 is secured. When a plurality of coverings 85 are stacked one upon the other, adhesive 87 comes in contact with backing strip 86 of an adjoining covering so that the coverings may easily be peeled away from the stack, one at a time, for quick application to a head rest surface.
  • FIG. 14 discloses a bedsheet covering 90 which includes adhesive surfaces 95 along at least two of its edges, and backing strips 94 secured to the same surface of the edge and folded over onto adhesives 95 to completely cover and protect the adhesive surfaces.
  • adhesive portions 92 which are covered over by backing strips 91.
