Duvet system with corresponding fastening elements for fixing a duvet in the duvet cover

Abstract

(Main claim): Duvet system comprising a duvet and a duvet cover, wherein the duvet has several fastening elements along its edge regions, wherein the duvet cover has several corresponding fastening elements on its inside, wherein the fastening elements are arranged such that the duvet is fixed in a fixed position after being inserted into the duvet cover by connecting the fastening elements, wherein the fastening elements are an integral part of the respective fabric layers and are designed without separate clips, clamps or loose auxiliary parts.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to bedding and household articles, in particular a system for fixing a duvet inside a duvet cover to prevent the duvet from slipping. State of the art

[0002] With conventional bedding systems, the duvet lies loosely inside the cover and often shifts during use. This leads to cold spots, an uneven appearance of the cover, and the need for frequent adjustments to the bed. Solutions such as external fasteners, clips, or ties exist, but are unreliable, cumbersome, or compromise sleeping comfort.

[0003] While internally arranged fasteners between the duvet and cover are known in principle, they are not typically implemented in a systematic, uniformly arranged manner along the edges that ensures stable and complete fixation of the duvet within the cover. Many existing solutions also utilize loose clips, separate fastening elements, or visible or external connecting elements that are not permanently integrated and often present disadvantages in terms of comfort or handling. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a simple, reliable and cost-effective system that prevents a duvet from slipping inside a duvet cover and can be fully integrated into the textile structure without requiring separate clips or attached fastening parts. Solution to the task

[0005] The task is solved by a duvet system consisting of: • a duvet with several fastening elements arranged along the edges, and • a corresponding ceiling covering that has complementary fastening elements on its inner edge areas.

[0006] The elements are positioned so that they can be connected to each other when the duvet is inserted into the cover, thus holding the duvet firmly in the cover.

[0007] The fastening elements may include, in particular, snap-fit ​​fasteners, for example in the form of snap fasteners.

[0008] Alternative mechanical snap systems that allow two parts to be releasably snapped together are also included.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening elements are arranged entirely within the fabric layers and are not visible from the outside, so that neither the feel nor the aesthetics are affected. This concealed textile integration differs from known solutions that predominantly use external, attached, or separate fixing elements.

[0010] The elements can be visibly or concealed, arranged on the inside or outside, or between layers of fabric. Concealed integration between two layers of fabric is a particularly preferred embodiment. Advantages of the invention

[0011] The invention offers several advantages: 1. Slip-proof fixation of the duvet across the entire surface. 2. Easy changing of the bed linen thanks to logically positioned fastening elements. 3. Improved sleeping comfort, as the blanket is secured against shifting. 4. Visually always smooth bed surface, as the cover is not deformed. 5. Simple manufacturing through standard textile processes. 6. Any type of fastening technology is possible. 7. Machine washable, as all elements are robust and textile-compatible. 8. Uniform and preferably symmetrical distribution of the fastening elements along all four edge sections, which enables a particularly stable surface fixation and is not shown in this systematic form in the prior art. 9. Fully integrated system without loose clips or auxiliary parts, thus improving handling and comfort compared to known solutions. Examples of implementation

[0012] The invention is described using several embodiments, without being limited to them.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the duvet has a total of eight male fastening elements (e.g., snap fastener bases) along its four edges. The corresponding duvet cover has eight corresponding female fastening elements (e.g., snap fastener tops) along its inner surface.

[0014] When inserting the duvet into the cover, the fastening points align and can be connected by pressing or clicking them into place. This securely fixes the duvet inside the cover.

[0015] The fastening elements are firmly integrated into the respective fabric layers and form a closed system without loose clips, separate fixing parts, or external auxiliary elements, as are frequently used in prior art. The preferably symmetrical and edge-close arrangement results in uniform stabilization across the entire surface of the duvet.

[0016] The invention comprises alternative mechanical snap systems, different numbers of attachment points, and different positionings.
