Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cover structure and, in particular, to a protective cover such as for use with bedding- Plastics covers are known for use as protective layers, for example in hospital bedding where protection against soiling is required.
- GB 2074021B provides a gas-tight polyvinylchloride duvet cover.
- Gas-tight covers have the disadvantage that they cause sweating and discomfort to the user since they are not water vapour permeable.
- GB 2074021B provides through ventilation holes to overcome this.
- a further disadvantage with gas-tight covers is that water vapour may be trapped beneath the cover so that body heat from the user may lead to conditions suitable for bacteria, fungi or the like build-up beneath the cover.
- the material which the cover is designed to protect may thus need to be sterilised.
- GB 2074021B provides nipples on the duvet cover for the admission of a sterilising gas.
- protective covers particularly in hospitals, may need to be suitable for sterilisation using an autoclave which can reach temperatures of about 120°C.
- Polyvinylchloride is unsuitable for this purpose .
- An object of the present invention is to provide a cover structure which provides protection against soiling; with which sweating and discomfort of the user can be avoided without the need for ventilation holes; and with which requisite sterile conditions can be readily attained.
- a cover structure comprising a barrier film wherein the barrier film is a gas- and vapour- permeable plastics material.
- a cover structure comprising a thermal layer with a barrier film on at least one surface wherein the barrier film is a water vapour- permeable plastics material which is impervious to liquids.
- the plastics film is an inherently permeable imperforate microporous film particularly made from polyetherurethane.
- this film it is possible to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and the like in the material the cover is designed to protect, thus precluding the need for sterilisation of such material; and is suitable for sterilisation in an autoclave reaching temperatures of about 120°C.
- the film may be of any thickness but preferably it is about 75 micrometers.
- the film material may be ATOCHEM Platilon (RTM) U0- 72/73 which is a blown film extruded from thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) which are produced by co-extrusion with polyethylene carrier films.
- TPU elastomers are high-molecular organic materials of segmented (alternating rigid and soft segments) and, in the majority linear structure.
- test film pieces were sterilized, then inoculated with bacteria Escherichia colis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
- the TPU films are water vapour permeable yet are impervious to and resistant to disinfectants, urine and the like.
- the TPU films have been shown to pass a fire test of BS 7175: 1989 Standard.
- the 50 micrometer Platilon U072/3 films have a density of 1.12 g/cm 3 , a tensile strength of 45 N/mm2
- 2 transmission rate is 220 g/m .d.
- the film material may alternatively be Walopur
- thermoplastics polyether or polyester urethane Blown or calendered film made from thermoplastics polyether or polyester urethane.
- film material may alternatively be Walopur (RTM) X1197B, X1195B with flame retardant additive or RTN221AU.
- a 50 micrometer thickness film has a density of 1.14 g/cm 3 , a tensile strength at break of 50-60 N/mm2, an elongation at break of 470-600% and a tension at 50%
- the cover structure preferably has a flame retardant additive to meet British Standards BS 7175 1989 Ignition source Crib 7 or below.
- the thermal layer may be wadding or cotton.
- the thermal layer is a synthetic fibre wadding having a very low flame response and having no contribution to composites flammability.
- the wadding may be polyester and is preferably composed of randomly disposed inherently flame resistant polyester fibres containing a small portion of low melt binder fibre which acts as a bonding medium.
- An example of such a wadding is LUXBOND 925A which complies with the Furniture & Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations 1988 and meets BS1425.1960 and BS1425: Part 1 : 1991 Standards.
- the barrier film may be bonded to the thermal layer.
- the cover structure may be used to cover or encapsulate a pillow, duvet or mattress for a bed or cot.
- the cover structure may also be used as a blanket, horse-blanket, wrap-around for legs rug, sheets, ground-sheet, sleeping-bag or shower curtain.
- the cover structure of the present invention has particular advantage when used in bedding for asthmatic persons since it is impervious to dust mites and the like.
- the cover structure may be used in upholstery such as on seating or in vehicles.
- the cover structure may also be used as an vehicle protective cover, for example, to cover boats or cars, since it prevents condensation and inhibits mould growth.
- the cover structure of the present invention may be used in clothing, for example, underwear (especially for incontinence) , nappies, wind-proof poncho, gloves and the like.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that polyurethane is generally more environmentally friendly than PVC.
- the cover structure When used as a duvet cover, the cover structure may be made from two single sheets of plastics film which has been previously laminated to the polyester infill and between the outer skin and the infill there may be discontinuous lines of low melt adhesive.
- the outer cover is then welded or bonded along the peripheral four sides and then using a straight cut adhesive tape, overtape to add strength to the weld.
- the cover structure may be made from a single plastics film which is folded over and welded or bonded, for example,using tape around its periphery. Alternatively, several strips may be welded or bonded together to form the cover, or the cover may comprise two rectangular films welded or bonded together along their peripheries.
- Discontinuous welds formed by direct welding or using hot melt adhesive may be provided between the films at intervals spaced along or through the cover to stabilise the duvet thermal layer and to allow air to circulate within the cover.
- the thermal layer may comprise strips of insulation arranged between parallel spaced lines of discontinuous welds.
- the thermal layer and barrier film may be wholly or partially bonded together and preferably the barrier film is totally bonded to both sides of the thermal layer.
- Low melt glue strips may be provided between the infill and the barrier film.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of one form of cover structure of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a further form of cover structure of the invention.
- a duvet cover 1 comprises two rectangular plastics films welded along their peripheries 3.
- a thermally insulating layer or wadding 5 is provided in strips between the films.
- a duvet cover 2 comprises two rectangular plastics films previously bonded as described to the infill and welded along their peripheral edges and then taped over using taped sections 4.
- a thermally insulating layer or wadding 6 is provided in strips between the films.
- the thermal layer 8 is completely bonded on either side to the plastics films.
- the duvet cover provides a surface which is resistant to bacteria, disinfectant, urine and the like yet allows water vapour to permeate it.
- a valve may be provided in the cover to allow air to be expelled out to reduce the bulk size and thus facilitate packing, storage and shipment and in addition to provide a convenient means of testing the integrity of the welded joints.
- the barrier film is an integral plastics film and not a textile fabric or coated textile fabric.
