[Diagram 3] This is a perspective view of a slitted duvet cover being attached to bedding from the vertical direction. [Figure 4] This is a perspective view of attaching a slitted duvet cover to bedding from the side. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] The slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows an external view of the slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the slit duvet cover 1, with the stitching points indicated by dashed lines.
[0011] The slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention is a slit duvet cover for bedding such as a futon, and as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, it has a rectangular front part 2 that covers the front surface of the bedding 20, and a rectangular back part 3 that covers the back surface of the bedding 20, and the front part 2 and the back part 3 have the same length in the horizontal direction, and the back part 3 is longer than the front part 2 in the vertical direction. The front part 2 and the back part 3 each have four sides, a head part 4, two side parts 5, and a foot part 6, and the head part 4 and the two side parts 5 are sewn together and connected to each other at the opposing parts between the front part 2 and the back part 3, except for a part. Since the foot part 6 is not sewn, an opening 7 is formed as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, and this allows the bedding 20 to be inserted and removed vertically through the slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention.
[0012] In the slit duvet cover 1 shown in Fig. 2, the sewing points between the front part 2 and the back part 3 are indicated by dashed lines. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the head part 4 of the front part 2 and the back part 3 are all sewn together and connected to each other. The foot part 6 of the front part 2 and the back part 3 is not sewn, and therefore the front part 2 and the back part 3 are not connected to each other at the foot part 6. Since the length of the side part of the front part 2 is shorter than the length of the side part of the back part 3, the foot part of the front part 2 and the foot part of the back part 3 do not overlap, and the foot part of the back part 3 extends to the opposite side to the head part 4, forming an opening 7 for inserting and removing the bedding 20.
[0013] The two side sections 5 are connected to each other by sewing except for a small area, and as shown in Fig. 2, the entire side of the foot section 6 from a position a certain distance away from the head section 4 is not sewn, forming slits 8 that connect to the opening 7. By providing two slits 8 that connect to the opening 7, which are not found in conventional wrapping cloths, the opening 7 can be opened wide as shown in Fig. 3, allowing the bedding 20 to be smoothly inserted and removed from the duvet cover 1 with slits.
[0014] As shown in Fig. 2, the two side sections 5 have an unsewn area extending from the first spaced area from the head section 4 side toward the foot section 6 side, and a first access hole 9 is formed in each of these areas to allow a hand to be inserted into the slitted duvet cover 1 when replacing the slitted duvet cover 1. The first access hole 9 is a hole through which a hand can be inserted when inserting or removing the bedding 20, so it is made large enough to allow a hand to be inserted.
[0015] On one side 5 (the right side 5 in Fig. 2), a non-sewn area is provided at a second distance from the end of the first hand hole 9 on the foot 6 side toward the foot 6 side, thereby forming an opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding. The size of the opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding is set to a size that allows the bedding 20 to be inserted and removed from the side. In this way, by providing the opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding on one side 5, the duvet cover 1 with slits of the present invention is designed so that the bedding 20 can be inserted and removed laterally, as shown in Fig. 4. The opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding can also be used to insert a hand when inserting and removing the bedding 20 vertically.
[0016] In addition, the other side 5 (the left side 5 in FIG. 2) is provided with a non-sewn area from the third spaced end of the first hand hole 9 toward the foot 6 side toward the foot 6 side, thereby forming a second hand hole 11. The second hand hole 11 is a hole for inserting a hand when inserting or removing the bedding 20 in the horizontal direction using the opening 10 for inserting or removing the bedding. The size of the second hand hole 11 may be the same as that of the first hand hole 9, and is preferably smaller than that of the opening 10 for inserting or removing the bedding. The second hand hole 11 can also be used by inserting a hand into the duvet cover 1 with slits when inserting or removing the bedding 20 in the vertical direction. The arrangement of the opening 10 for inserting or removing the bedding and the second hand hole 11 is not limited to the form shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and their arrangements can be interchanged.
[0017] The slitted duvet cover 1 of the present invention can be manufactured by preparing two rectangular pieces of fabric for the front part 2 and the back part 3, the front part 2 being the same in horizontal length and the back part 3 being shorter in vertical length, and sewing the parts shown in FIG. 2. When sewing, the slitted duvet cover 1 of the present invention can be easily manufactured by not sewing the parts corresponding to the opening 7, the slit 8, the first hand hole 9, the opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding, and the second hand hole 11. When sewing the side part 5, the ends of the stitching of the slit 8, the first hand hole 9, the opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding, and the second hand hole 11 are bar-tacked to reinforce them from fraying. The slitted duvet cover 1 can also be made reversible.
[0018] Next, the slit duvet cover 1 will be described with an example of actual dimensions. If the slit duvet cover 1 is 260 cm long and 190 cm wide, the back surface 3 is 260 cm long and 190 cm wide. The slits 8 are formed on the front surface 2 and back surface 3 from a position 190 cm away from the head 4 toward the foot 6 side. Since the back surface 3 is longer in the vertical direction than the front surface 2, the foot 6 of the back surface 3 extends 20 cm vertically away from the head 4 than the foot 6 of the front surface 2. The first hand insertion hole 9 may be long enough to allow a hand to be inserted, but in this embodiment, the first hand insertion hole 9 is formed in a range from the first distance of 5 cm from the head 4 side to 20 cm away. Furthermore, opening 10 for inserting and removing bedding is large enough to insert and remove bedding 20, and is sized to range from the second distance of 25 cm to 130 cm from the end of first hand hole 9 on the foot section 6 side toward the foot section 6. Second hand hole 11 is sized to range from the third distance of 55 cm to 20 cm from the end of first hand hole 9 on the foot section 6 side toward the foot section 6, and is the same size as first hand hole 9. These dimensions of slit duvet cover 1 are merely examples, and the dimensions can be changed to suit the bedding, etc.
[0019] When replacing the slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention, it is possible to use the opening 7 to insert and remove the bedding 20 vertically, and to use the opening 10 for inserting and removing the bedding to insert and remove the bedding 20 horizontally. When replacing the slit duvet cover 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, when inserting and removing the bedding 20 vertically using the opening 7, the opening 7 can be opened wide by providing a slit 8 connected to the opening 7, which is not present in conventional wraps. Furthermore, the length of the side 5 of the front part 2 is shorter than the length of the side 5 of the back part 3, that is, the length of the front part 2 in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the back part 3 in the vertical direction, making it easier to grasp the foot part 6 of the front part 2 and easier to fold the foot part 6 of the front part 2 back to the front part 2 side, thereby reducing the effort and time required to open the opening 7. Replacing the slitted duvet cover 1 can be done easily by inserting a hand into the slitted duvet cover 1 through the first access hole 9, and since it is also possible to insert a hand into the slitted duvet cover 1 through the bedding insertion / removal opening 10 and the second access hole 11, it is possible to more smoothly replace the bedding 20. Also, when the slitted duvet cover 1 is used for a down comforter as the bedding 20, the first access hole 9 makes it easier to insert the part with feathers.
[0020] When replacing the slitted duvet cover 1 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4, if the bedding 20 is taken out or put back in sideways using the opening 10 for inserting and removing the bedding, for example, the hand can be inserted into the slitted duvet cover 1 through the second access hole 11 and the bedding 20 can be pulled, making it easy to insert it into the slitted duvet cover 1 through the opening 10 for inserting and removing the bedding.Furthermore, it is also possible to insert the hand into the slitted duvet cover 1 through the first access hole 9 and the opening 7 to perform the work, making it possible to replace the bedding 20 more smoothly.
[0021] In this way, the slitted duvet cover 1 of the present invention allows both the method of taking the bedding 20 in and out vertically by utilizing the opening 7, which can be opened wide due to the provision of two slits 8, and the method of taking the bedding 20 in and out horizontally by utilizing the opening 10 for taking the bedding in and out. Therefore, when making the bed, it is possible to select the direction in which the bedding 20 can be taken in and out more smoothly, taking into consideration various conditions. Furthermore, when taking the bedding 20 in and out, the opening 7, the first hand hole 9, the opening 10 for taking the bedding in and out, and the second hand hole 11 can be used to reach inside the slitted duvet cover 1, making it possible to take the bedding 20 in and out even more smoothly, thereby achieving the excellent effect of shortening the time required for bedmaking, saving labor, and improving efficiency. In addition, after the bedding 20 is placed inside the slitted duvet cover 1, the slit 8 portion is rolled up under the bed, and when removing the bedding 20 from the slitted duvet cover 1, it is only necessary to pull out the rolled up slit 8 portion from under the bed. This makes it easy to make the bed, whether it is the method of taking the bedding 20 in and out vertically using the opening 7 or the method of taking the bedding 20 in and out horizontally using the bedding insertion and removal opening 10, and makes the bed-making process quick and easy. Furthermore, the manufacturing method of the slit duvet cover 1 is very simple as it only requires sewing two pieces of fabric, the front part 2 and the back part 3, together at designated locations, and the manufacturing cost can be kept the same as that of conventional wrapping cloth.
[0022] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered as limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
