Benefits of technology

[0016]The crib sheet is secured to the mattress by placing the mattress into the enclosure and then tucking the flap portion into the space between the bottom panel and the bottom surface of the mattress. The lateral extensions of the flap are tucked into the area between each lateral side panel and the side of the mattress. In this way, the crib sheet is secured to the mattress and very difficult for even the most active infant to dislodge.
[0017]The elimination of fasteners allows for quick and easy replacement of the crib sheet. Moreover, the absence of any fasteners on the top and bottom panels permits the mattress and crib sheet to be inv

Example

[0023]With reference to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a top panel (1), a bottom panel (2), two lateral side panels (3) and an end panel (4). The panels are constructed of suitable fabric and sewn together to form an enclosure for a crib mattress.

[0024]As is best depicted in FIG. 3, the top panel comprises a central portion which is rectangular in shape and having a width “b” and length “a” and a flap portion which is also rectangular in shape and has a width “d” and length “c”. As may be appreciated the length of the flap portion is perpendicular to the length of the central portion. Both portions together form an integral T-shaped fabric panel. Length “a” is approximately the length of the mattress to be covered plus the thickness of the mattress to be covered. Length “b” is approximately the width of the mattress to be covered. Length “d” is a sufficient length such that when the flap is tucked into the underside of the mattress, between the mattress an...

Abstract

A crib mattress sheet comprises a top panel, a bottom panel, lateral panels and an end panel configured to provide an enclosure for a crib mattress. The top panel includes a central portion and a flap portion, wherein the flap portion extends laterally beyond the central portion and extends outward from the enclosure opening a distance of approximately ⅓ of the length of the central portion of the top panel. The sheet is applied by placing the mattress in the enclosure and tucking the flap portion into area adjacent the mattress at the bottom and lateral panels.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a baby crib mattress sheet and more particularly to a baby crib mattress sheet which allows a mattress on which it is placed to be inverted when one side of the sheet becomes soiled, and which can be quickly and easily secured to a baby crib mattress without fasteners, but also in a manner which prevents a baby, or even a more active toddler, from removing the crib sheet.[0003]2. Introduction[0004]Common bed sheets, that is, sheets that are rectangular pieces of fabric and are placed on a mattress by folding the ends and sides of the fabric rectangle under the mattress, most often with a corner fold, i.e. a hospital corner, are unsatisfactory for use on baby crib mattresses. This is particularly so where the baby is an active toddler who may be able to remove the fabric from the mattress. In such a case the sheet may pose a safety concern because an active toddler may dislodge the sheet and bec...
