Bed sheet or fitted sheet with non-slip foot area and liquid-proof, breathable underside coating

Abstract

Bed sheet or fitted sheet, characterized in that a non-slip coating is provided in the foot area of ​​the sheet and that a liquid-tight and breathable coating is arranged at least partially on the side facing the mattress.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a bed sheet or fitted sheet, in particular for care, hospital or private beds, with a non-slip coating in the foot area and with a liquid-proof and at the same time breathable coating on the side facing the mattress. State of the art

[0002] Bed sheets and fitted sheets made of cotton, blended fabrics or synthetic materials are known from the state of the art.

[0003] Waterproof bed pads or incontinence pads are also known, which are designed to prevent liquids from penetrating the mattress.

[0004] A disadvantage of known solutions is that they do not offer sufficient slip resistance in the foot area.

[0005] In particular, people with limited mobility, muscle weakness, paralysis or care needs have difficulty supporting their legs in bed or changing their position. Well-known sheets do not offer a combination of • non-slip standing surface for the feet and • Liquid-proof, breathable underside. Object of the invention

[0006] The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a bed sheet or fitted sheet which • enables secure foot support, • facilitates changing positions in bed, • prevents slippage, • simultaneously protects the mattress from liquid, • while remaining breathable and skin-friendly. Solution to the task

[0007] The problem is solved by a bed sheet or fitted sheet with the features of claim 1.

[0008] The bed sheet has a non-slip coating in the foot area, which preferably consists of a silicone-based, highly viscous, anti-allergic polymer material and is applied in particular by a printing process, preferably screen printing.

[0009] Furthermore, the bed sheet has a liquid-tight and breathable coating on its underside, preferably made of polyurethane, polypropylene or a comparable polymeric material.

[0010] The coating can be applied to the entire surface or at least to the lower part of the sheet. Advantages of the invention

[0011] The combination of a non-slip coating and a liquid-tight underside offers the following advantages: • secure foot position in bed • Easier transfer of people • Support for people with limited mobility • Protecting the mattress from moisture • breathable feel • Suitable for care facilities, hospitals and home use • Anti-allergic version available Designs

[0012] The non-slip coating can • printed • stuck on, • sewn on, • welded on, • in 3D printing, • in screen printing, • or by coating processes be upset.

[0013] The coating can be used as • Field, • Pattern, • Stripes, • Points, • structured surface be trained and located in the foot area of ​​the sheet.

[0014] The liquid-tight coating can • full surface, • partially, • in the lower area, • or be arranged across the entire subpage.

[0015] The following materials are particularly suitable: • Polyurethane (PU) • Polypropylene (PP) • Silicone-based coatings • Breathable membrane materials • polymer-based films

[0016] The bed sheet can be designed as • Bed sheet • Fitted sheet • Nursing bed sheet • Incontinence sheets • Hospital sheets and from • Cotton • Jersey • Mixed fabrics • Linen • synthetic fabric composition.
