BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] In the matter is not known something like a "mattress case" the closest thing is
what is known as "adjustable sheets".
[0002] Until about two decades ago, in commerce and in our homes, we had these rectangular
pieces that were used to cover the mattresses of daily use (in hotels, almost exclusively,
they are still used in this way) then these "sheets" appeared "They have a rounded
shape and elastic at the four corners and they require additional products to keep
them fixed in place.
[0003] The problem is that:
- 1. You can not choose, now this is the only thing that is in the commerce
- 2. They are short, they leave the sides of the mattress.
- 3. Due to the fact that they are so short they leave the corners while you sleep and
in the morning you feel annoyed and the bed is totally messy.
- 4. They wrinkle in the center causing great wear in the central area,
- 5. Difficult to iron and fold, therefore to store, on the internet they offer courses
to learn how to to bend them.
[0004] Currently known in the subject are the "adjustable sheets" consisting of a rectangular
sheet with elastics in the four corners that require additional products to stay in
place.
EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The mattress case consists of a rectangle of gender that completely covers the mattress,
closing tightly by one of the long sides with zippers, snaps, buttons or ribbons,
in both sides that give the headboard as to the feet they bend inwards to keep the
girdle fixed and the bed tidy at bedtime. Since it has two sides (Side "A" the top
of the mattress and Side "B" that faces the ground] after having used the "A" side
for a few days, you can turn the mattress or the mattress case to use it another couple
of days on Side "B" before washing it.
[0006] Revised information about how often sheets are changed in hotels, it is said that
on average it is done every three days, when used on both sides will considerably
reduce the consumption of water and detergents.
[0007] This mattress case also has a countertop also with double face, to turn it when using
the mattress case by the side B.
[0008] This product aims to solve the discomfort that produces the current alternative,
and also the " mattress case " has many additional benefits:
- 1. Give an alternative purchase.
- 2. When the mattress is completely covered, it does not come off the sides, as a consequence
you will only worry about getting a good night's sleep.
- 3. The bed remains tidy, when you wake up, and you will only need a small adjustment
to get ready.
- 4. It does not wrinkle, it will give you greater comfort when sleeping
- 5. The garment does not wear unevenly.
- 6. They are easy to iron, fold and store, it has the advantage that by not presenting
gathers or elastic bands the sheet is completely rectangular, allowing its fast and
perfect folding, unlike the low sheets with rubber bands in the corners, whose finish
after bending it is not adequate. In addition its straight forms, eliminating the
puckering and irregular folds of the adjustable lower sheets, allows its easy and
correct ironing.
- 7. It will allow you to save water and detergents, since you can use it by both sides
will not have to wash it so often, which is a great advantage in our days.
- 8. Because it should not be introduced under the mattress every day, it will help
those who make many beds every day with the movement of the wrists, and will help
protect the musculoskeletal system (tendonitis).
- 9. It will change your awakening and mood for the day, you will not have to fight
with your children to make your bed, and it will not take anything to leave yours
ready in the morning.
- 10. It has several alternatives for closing: buttons, elastics, zippers, ribbons,
velcro, brooches.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009]
Figure Nº 1 Represents the view of the extended mattress case.
Figure Nº 2 Shows a perspective view of the mattress case arranged on a mattress.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0010] A preferred but not limiting embodiment of the invention of the mattress case consists
of a piece of textile or similar of general rectangular constitution that completely
covers the mattress, closing adjusted by one of the sides with fasteners or zippers,
buttons, velcro, snaps or tapes (nº4 in Drawing Fig. 2), in as much by the sides that
give to the headboard as to the feet they bend inwards to maintain the sheath ordered
at the time of sleep (nº6 and nº7 in Figure 2).
[0011] At the time of closing it has two faces, as it has two faces (Side "A" (nº 1 in the
drawing Fig. Nº1] the part above the mattress and Side "B" (nº2 in the drawing Fig.Nº1]
which it is towards the ground after having used the "A" side for a few days, you
can turn the mattress or the mattress case to use it another couple of days on Side
"B" before washing it. This mattress case also has a countertop also with double face,
to turn it when using the mattress case on the side B. This product has several benefits
and aims to solve the discomfort that produces the current alternative. It can be
used in the domestic field as in the hotel areas, both for children and adults. In
the domestic field is thought of the fact that when waking up and see a bed disorderly,
is to say it somehow "depressing", not to mention that with the current alternative
many times must get up at midnight to rearrange the bed, especially on hot days, when
going around and around you have problems to fall asleep, Use this model and you can
not go back to the previous one, miss the comfort of a bed stretched and without wrinkles.
In the field of hotel areas would help with respect to muscle-skeletal injuries, because
having double- sided, we use the face A few days, and then the B, with the simple
action of turning the mattress or the mattress case on the beds that have side winter
and summer.
[0012] Collaterally, the effect of having the garment more days will help to reduce water
consumption, a not insignificant collateral in our days. And of course a little more
fabric is required, so it will favor the textile industry in principle, but because
of its shape, it will extend the useful life of The garment then does not produce
uneven wear to the middle of the mattress that occurs with the current alternative.
The mattress case aims to solve the problem of displacement and discomfort that this
movement produces when sleeping, because being tight to the mattress has the object
to remain attached and therefore avoid the movement that causes the beds to be disarmed
during the night, causing an unnecessary worry at the time of sleep and when waking,
in addition to uneven wear or that the previous alternative produces in the garment
due to the effect of the movement, when being fitted to the mattress two faces are
available for alternate use; its use is of domestic order and in hotel areas.
1. The mattress case is CHARACTERIZED because it comprises a canvas or sheet of cloth of general rectangular constitution
that presents its lateral ends (4y5) folded longitudinally until they meet and at
closing these opposite sides make up: side A or top side (1) and side B or lower side
(2), with one side extending between the top and the lower side (3), in such a way
that in operation or position of use these side panels are closed with buttons, zippers,
ribbons, snaps or velcro, depending on the taste of the market what gives the individual
characterization of the garment.
2. The mattress case according to Reinvindication 1, is CHARACTERIZED for being made of soft cotton or linen fabrics.
3. The mattress case is CHARACTERIZED because it also has a double-sided countertop to turn over when using Side A or Side
B, which it can be of two different colors to assign it to each Side as a measure
of control in hotel area or domestic use.
