Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a storage device for bedding.
[0002] Most people sleep in a bed and use a duvet. This duvet is usually fluffed up in the morning and placed half-unfolded on the bed after the person has gotten up. Some people even leave the bed "messy" because they find the effort annoying. This prevents the mattress and duvet from airing out. Any moisture from nighttime sweat can dry out in the process. This leads to a buildup of bacteria and microorganisms such as mites, etc.
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a storage device which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.
[0004] The object is achieved by a storage device according to the present claim 1.
[0005] The core idea of the invention is a storage device for bedding, wherein the storage device comprises at least one rod element which is arranged on a support device, wherein the at least one rod element is intended and configured to arrange bedding, in particular a duvet, thereon.
[0006] The storage device is advantageously arranged in a living room and / or bedroom. The storage device is advantageously located near the bed. The duvet can be placed on the rod element. The side of the duvet that was in contact with the person while sleeping is advantageously facing outward. The duvet is advantageously folded in half. Due to the balance of the two halves, no further fastening is required.
[0007] When the duvet is placed on the storage unit, both the mattress and the duvet can air out and dry. Furthermore, a designated storage area is provided for the bedding or duvet, where it can be placed when the bed is not in use, keeping the living room and / or bedroom tidy.
[0008] According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one rod element is hollow-cylindrical in shape. This makes the rod element particularly lightweight. The rod element preferably has a substantially circular cross-section. However, other cross-sectional shapes, such as elliptical or polygonal cross-sections, are also conceivable.
[0009] According to a further preferred embodiment, the at least one rod element is made of a plastic or a plastic mixture. Advantageously, the at least one rod element is made of a recycled plastic. Advantageously, the material is selected such that the rod element has a load-bearing capacity of at least 150 kg. The use of a suitable plastic makes the rod element lightweight yet still has a sufficiently high load-bearing capacity.
[0010] Advantageously, the rod element has a diameter which lies in a range between 5 cm and 40 cm, preferably the diameter lies in a range between 10 cm and 30 cm, more preferably the diameter lies in a range between 15 cm and 35 cm, more preferably the diameter is approximately 20 cm.
[0011] Advantageously, the rod element has a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis (X). The length of the rod element can preferably be adjusted according to the duvet used. Possible lengths range between 40 cm and 200 cm. Standard widths for duvets are, for example, 90 cm, 100 cm, 135 cm, and 200 cm. The length of the rod element could, for example, correspond to the aforementioned standard widths for duvets. It would also be conceivable for the length of the rod element to correspond to half the standard width for duvets. The duvet would thus be arranged folded on the rod element.
[0012] According to a further preferred embodiment, the rod element is designed such that its length can be varied. For this purpose, the rod element is advantageously designed to be telescopic. A telescopic rod element comprises two or more cylindrical or prismatic tube elements that are coaxially nested within each other. Each of the inner tube elements can be axially extended from the next larger one, which immediately surrounds it. Each extension ends with a stop or locking mechanism at a specific position.
[0013] According to a further preferred embodiment, the rod element comprises an outer end region at each of the two outer ends. A fastening section is preferably arranged in at least one outer end region. A fastening section is preferably arranged in each of the two outer end regions. The fastening section is preferably designed such that a force-locking and / or form-locking connection with a further element is provided. The force-locking and / or form-locking connection is preferably a detachable connection. Advantageously, the further element comprises a complementarily designed fastening section. The fastening section can, for example, comprise a thread or projections for a snap connection.
[0014] According to a further preferred embodiment, the additional element is a cover element.

In the present case, a sterilization and / or disinfection device 11, in the form of a spraying and / or vaporizing device, and a heating device 12 are arranged on the front wall 8b and / or the rear wall 8c. The heating device 12 is arranged along the vertical axis Z above the spraying and / or vaporizing device. Fig. Figure 6 shows a box-like element 8, in which the upper wall 8d and the front wall 8b are not shown for clarity, so that the arrangement of the treatment devices 10 is clearly visible. Of course, the different treatment devices 10 can be activated independently of one another.
[0065] It would be conceivable that there is a further receiving space in the box-like element 8, in which at least one cushion can be accommodated.
[0066] The storage device 1 is simple but effective. It can be placed near the bed, as in Fig. 1. The blanket 15 is placed on the rod element 2, with the side closest to the person facing outward. It is folded in half to ensure the balance between the two halves, eliminating the need for additional fastening. This allows both the mattress and the blanket 15 to air out and dry.
[0067] By individually attaching the storage device 1 to the needs and conditions of each bedroom, made possible by the modular principle, the general positive benefits can be quickly implemented.
[0068] In tiny houses, camper vans, etc., removing the blanket from the mattress makes it easier to use it for other purposes during the day in small spaces. This makes converting from a bed to a couch easier.
[0069] If used in a hotel, the use of storage device 1 would eliminate the need to make the bed, reducing labor time and thus saving costs. In a hotel environment, bed linen is also no longer changed every day. The storage device 1 then contributes to a greater sense of well-being.
[0070] In hospitals, the storage device 1 can contribute to improving hygiene standards.
[0071] For families, using storage device 1 can enable children to learn independence early on by making their own beds. Applying children's motifs to storage device 1 can encourage children to cooperate.
[0072] In single-person households, the use of storage device 1 facilitates spontaneously inviting guests. Furthermore, the use of storage device 1 can have a certain lifestyle effect.
[0073] People with allergic reactions to mites, etc., particularly benefit from the hygienic aspect of using storage device 1. People of all ages who sweat heavily also benefit from using storage device 1, as nighttime sweat can dry off easily.
[0074] In older people, other factors such as incontinence often play a role in bed hygiene. In this case, storing the blanket 15 on the storage device 1 can also contribute to improved hygiene. An unoccupied mattress is easier to clean. The blanket would be safely stored during and after bedtime.
