Technical field:
[0001] The present invention relates to a duvet cover with removable elements that comprises
one or several parts that can be fully or partially separated from the body of the
duvet cover.
[0002] The duvet cover is comprised of two or more elements connected together by closing
systems. This invention is preferably applied in the protection and ornamentation
of duvets.
Background of the invention
[0003] It is currently known from the state of the art the existence of ornamentation and
protective cover for duvets, which have the identical format of a duvet without the
possibility of any kind of customization of the final product.
[0004] Rather, the invention here described proceeds to the replacement of the removable
parts by others of the same size or by more elements which total size is equal to
the replaced part, thereby allowing the customization of the final product by enabling
different visual aspects with the same base.
Summary
[0005] The present invention intends to describe a duvet cover with a removable element
that comprises the following elements:
- element with final size of the said duvet cover;
- at least one removable bar
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the duvet cover with removable element presents a connection
between the element and the removable bar made by means of seams or closing systems.
[0007] In another preferred embodiment, the duvet cover with removable element has a closing
system used in a zipper and/or knobs and/or Velcro and/or springs and/or laces and/or
straps type of fastener.
[0008] It is a further object of this invention to describe the use of the duvet cover with
removable element in the protection and ornamentation of duvets.

Description of the invention
[0010] The present invention relates to a duvet cover with removable elements that comprises
one or several pieces that are fully or partially separated from the body of the duvet
cover. The duvet cover is thus comprised by an element with the final size of the
duvet cover and bars whose total area sums up that of the element.
[0011] The element or the bars of the duvet cover are joined by seams or closing systems,
preferably a fastener of the zipper, knobs, Velcro, springs, laces or straps type.
This way, it is possible to proceed with the replacement of the removable parts by
others of the same size or by more elements whose total size is equal to the one of
the replaced part. Thus, this duvet cover with removable elements allows customization
of the final product enabling the achievement of different visual aspects, with the
same base.
Example of application
[0012] An example of application of this duvet cover with removable elements is the protection
and ornamentation of duvets. With the duvet cover model with removable elements now
presented it is possible to "dress up" the duvet, and the removable parts may be marketed
in conjunction with the fixed part, or individually. It also becomes possible to fully
customize the duvet cover, where each customer selects the colour or the design of
the removable part.
[0013] This way, it will be possible to present some examples below, which are not intended
to limit the scope of the invention.
Version A
[0014] In version A, a fully removable piece is presented with a closing system applied
at the ends all the way around the duvet cover, as can be seen in Figure 1. This version
has an opening throughout the end of the duvet cover, in the union of the elements
with the removable part, with a closing system applied in order to proceed to their
union.
Version B
[0015] In version B it is presented a removable part corresponding only to an applied bar
in the central zone of the duvet cover as it can be seen in Figure 2.
[0016] In this version, the duvet cover is comprised by the lower element and two fixed
bars applied on the upper element, one at the top, another at the bottom and yet another
removable bar applied to the central part.
[0017] The duvet cover presents a fully opening at the middle of the duvet cover, in the
union of the removable bar to the upper element. The lower element is comprised by
a single piece and the upper element is comprised by two single fixed bars, joined
by a seam to the lower element, one at the top and one at the bottom of the duvet
cover. The central bar is fastened to the upper element by a closing system.
Version C
[0018] In version C, the duvet cover comprises a fixed bar applied on the top or bottom
of the upper element and a removable bar which adds up the final dimension of the
duvet cover, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
[0019] In this case, the opening is total in the union of the removable bar to the upper
and lower elements of the duvet cover.
[0020] The duvet cover comprises a lower member comprised by one single piece, an upper
member comprised by a horizontal bar joined by a seam to the bottom element and to
a removable bar applied at the top or bottom of the duvet cover which is attached
to the upper and lower elements by a closing system.
[0021] The present invention is not, naturally, in any way restricted to the embodiments
described herein and a person with ordinary skills in the area might provide plenty
of changes without departing from the general idea of the invention, such as defined
in the claims.
[0022] The preferred embodiments described above are obviously combinable with each other.
