Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sheet set. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, changing bedding, especially sheets, in lodging facilities such as hotels required a great deal of time and effort. To address this issue, a bed sheet changing device has been proposed that includes a sheet feeding device disposed at one end of the bed that feeds out the sheets, and a sheet rewinding device disposed at the other end of the bed that moves the sheets fed from the sheet feeding device over the mattress and then rewinds them (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] However, in extremely small guest rooms such as capsule hotels, it is extremely difficult to install such a sheet changing device, and there is a demand for easier sheet changing than ever before.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a sheet set that allows for easy sheet replacement. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To solve this problem, the sheet set of the present invention is characterized by comprising a cover that covers the longitudinal ends of the bedding, buttons on the ends of the cover, and sheets with buttonholes in positions corresponding to the buttons.

[0007] In the sheet set of the present invention, the buttons are preferably detachably attached to the edge of the cover. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The sheet set according to the present invention has a simple structure and allows for easy sheet replacement. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a sheet set according to an embodiment of the present invention in an attached state; [Figure 2] 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of a sheet set according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] <Embodiment> The following describes a sheet set according to one embodiment with reference to the drawings. However, please note that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, but extends to the inventions set forth in the claims and their equivalents.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a sheet set according to an embodiment of the present invention in an attached state.

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, it is assumed that a sheet set 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be used in a small indoor space S, such as a capsule hotel. The width of the indoor space S is approximately the same as the width of the mattress 20, and there is almost no gap between the interior wall of the indoor space S and the sides of the mattress 20. In Figure 1, the door is located at the entrance side of the indoor space S in the foreground, and a pillow P is located at the head side in the background.

[0013] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of a sheet set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] In the following explanation, the mattress 20 is placed horizontally on the ground, and the upper side or upper and lower side or lower are defined as the up-down direction (vertical direction), and the direction parallel to the surface on which the mattress 20 is placed is defined as the horizontal direction. However, the up-down direction and horizontal direction are used for convenience of explanation, and may be defined as different directions depending on the usage situation in which the mattress 20 is placed. The mattress 20 is placed on a bed frame (not shown) or the floor when used.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 2, the sheet set 10 has a cover 11, an attachment portion 12, and a sheet 16. The cover 11 has a shape and size that allows it to completely cover one end of the mattress 20 that faces the pillow P. The cover 11 has a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the mattress 20, approximately 30 cm to 50 cm. However, the length is not limited to this, and the cover 11 may be long enough to completely cover the mattress 20.

[0016] The attachment portion 12 is, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener for attaching the sheet 16 to the cover 11. The attachment portion 12 will hereinafter be referred to as the hook-and-loop fastener 12. The hook-and-loop fastener 12 has a female portion 13 and a male portion 14.

[0017] The female portion 13 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 is a cloth-like member formed in a rectangular shape. The female portion 13 has a loop surface (female surface) on one side, and is attached to both side end portions of the cover 11 with the loop surface facing upward. The female portion 13 is attached by being sewn to both side end portions of the surface of the cover 11 that faces the sheet 16. In other words, the female portion 13 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 is integrated with the cover 11.

[0018] The male part 14 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 is a cloth-like member having the same shape and size as the female part 13. The male part 14 has a button 15 attached to one side and a hook surface (male surface) on the other side, which hook surface hooks onto the loop surface of the female part 13 below. Therefore, the male part 14 can be attached to the female part 13 in a detachable manner.

[0019] When in use, cover 11 is used with female portion 13 and male portion 14 attached. That is, when in use, cover 11 has male portion 14 attached to female portion 13. However, when washing cover 11, for example, male portion 14 is removed from female portion 13 to avoid damage to button 15.

[0020] The sheet 16 is made of a single flat piece of fabric. The sheet 16 has the same width as the mattress 20 in the short direction and a length longer than the mattress 20 in the long direction. Because the sheet 16 has the same width as the mattress 20 in the short direction, it does not cover the sides of the mattress 20. When making the bed, the part of the sheet 16 on the foot side in the long direction is tucked between the end of the mattress 20 opposite the head side and the floor. A buttonhole 17 is provided at the end of the sheet 16 on the head side at a position corresponding to the button 15 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 attached to the cover 11.

[0021] With the cover 11 placed over the mattress 20, the worker makes the bed using the sheet 16. At this time, the worker attaches the sheet 16 to the cover 11 by fitting the buttons 15 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 attached integrally to the cover 11 into the buttonholes 17 of the sheet 16. Alternatively, the worker may first integrate the sheet 16 and the male parts 14 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 by fitting the buttons 15 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 into the buttonholes 17 of the sheet 16, and then attach the sheet 16 by bringing the female parts 13 of the cover 11 into contact with the male parts 14 attached to the sheet 16. In this case, the work of attaching the buttons 15 is eliminated when making the bed, making the bed even easier.

[0022] At this time, since the width of the sheet 16 is the same as the width in the short direction of the mattress 20, nothing special needs to be done, and the worker simply inserts the foot-side portion of the sheet 16 in the longitudinal direction between the end of the mattress 20 and the floor. In other words, a new sheet 16 can be fitted with just two simple operations: fitting the button 15 of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 attached to the cover 11 into the buttonhole 17 of the sheet 16, and inserting the foot-side portion of the sheet 16 in the longitudinal direction between the end of the mattress 20 and the floor.

[0023] When removing used sheets 16 from sheet set 10, the worker simply removes buttons 15 of hook-and-loop fastener 12 from buttonholes 17 of sheet 16 and pulls it away from mattress 20. When removing cover 11 from mattress 20 to wash, male portion 14 of hook-and-loop fastener 12 is removed from female portion 13, leaving only cover 11 and female portion 13. This prevents damage to buttons 15 attached to male portion 14 during washing, allowing cover 11 to be reused any number of times.

[0024] According to the above configuration, it is possible to realize a sheet set 10 that has a simple configuration and allows the sheets 16 to be easily replaced.

[0025] <Other embodiments> In the sheet set 10 of this embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener 12 is used as the attachment part 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. A female part 13 may be attached to the cover 11, and a male part 14 may be attached instead of the buttonhole 17 of the sheet 16.

[0026] In addition, those skilled in the art can appropriately modify the sheet set 10 of the present invention and change the combination of various components according to conventional knowledge. As long as such modifications still maintain the configuration of the present invention, they will of course be included in the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
