Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a bedding cover that can accommodate a bedding body and can be washed.

Background Art

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-345615 describes a rectangular futon. The futon includes four rings attached to the four corners of the futon. Each ring is sewn at each of the four corners of the futon and protrudes annularly from the sewn portion. The four rings include two first rings located at one end in the short side direction of the futon and two second rings located at the other end in the short side direction of the futon and smaller than the first rings.

[0003] Each of the plurality of rings attached to the four corners of the futon is used when drying the futon in the sun. When drying the futon in the sun, first, the entire futon is folded in half so that the surface faces outward, and with each first ring inserted inside each second ring, a drying pole is passed through each first ring. Thereby, the futon is suspended from the drying pole by the two first rings and dried in the sun.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In the aforementioned futon, two first rings are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the futon, and two second rings are also arranged along the longitudinal direction of the futon. Therefore, when drying the futon, a rod-shaped object such as a pole must be inserted into the first rings located at one end of the longitudinal direction, and then the same rod-shaped object must be inserted into the first rings located at the other end of the longitudinal direction, which makes drying the futon time-consuming. Furthermore, before passing the rod-shaped object through the first rings, the first rings must be positioned inside the second rings, which also adds to the time and effort required.

[0006] In the futon described above, as previously mentioned, the rod-shaped body is inserted into the first ring located at one end in the longitudinal direction, and then into the first ring located at the other end in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when drying, the longitudinal direction of the futon coincides with the direction in which the rod-shaped body extends, resulting in the problem of a large amount of space occupied by the rod-shaped body on the futon. Thus, it may be desirable to reduce the space occupied when drying.

[0007] This disclosure aims to provide bedding covers that reduce the space occupied when drying and reduce the effort required when drying. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The gist of this disclosure is as follows: [1] A bedding cover comprising an internal space for housing the bedding body, and a bag-like body having an opening that allows the bedding body to be inserted into and removed from the internal space, The bag body comprises at least four strip-shaped members fixed to the inside of the outer fabric and protruding from the opening of the bag body, Each of the aforementioned strip-shaped members can be switched between a state in which it extends linearly from the opening and a state in which it protrudes from the opening and forms an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body for drying the bedding cover is passed. the law of nature, The bag has a rectangular shape, Each of the aforementioned strip-shaped members is located at a point on each of the two long sides of the bag body, away from the four corners of the bag body. The aforementioned strip-shaped member is provided at each of the four corners of the long side of the bag body, and the distance between the four corners and the aforementioned location is 5 cm or more and 30 cm or less. Bedding cover. [2] Each of the aforementioned strip-shaped members has a locking portion and a locking portion provided at a position separated from the locking portion and detachably locking to the locking portion. The annular portion is formed when the locking portion engages with the locking portion. [1] Bedding cover as described above. [ 3 ] The bag has a rectangular shape, The opening is formed at both one end and the other end of the bag in the short direction. [1] or [2] Bedding cover as described. [ 4 ] The bedding cover is provided with a string-like member for connecting the bedding body, Each of the aforementioned strip-shaped members is longer than the aforementioned string-shaped member and is thicker than the aforementioned string-shaped member. [1]~[ 3 Bedding cover as described in any one of the items in the ] section.

[0009] The bedding cover according to this disclosure is a bedding cover comprising a bag having an internal space for housing a bedding body and an opening through which the bedding body can be inserted into and removed from the internal space. The bedding cover comprises at least four strip-shaped members fixed to the inside of the outer fabric of the bag and protruding from the opening of the bag. Each strip-shaped member can be switched between a state in which it extends linearly from the opening and a state in which it protrudes from the opening and forms an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body for drying the bedding cover is passed.

[0010] This bedding cover is equipped with at least four strip-shaped members that protrude from the opening of the bag. Each of the four strip-shaped members can be switched between a state in which it extends linearly from the opening of the bag and a state in which it forms an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body for drying the bedding cover is passed. Therefore, by placing each strip-shaped member extending linearly from the opening over the rod-shaped body, and then curving each strip-shaped member to form an annular portion through which the rod-shaped body is passed, the bedding cover can be dried on the rod-shaped body. Thus, since it is not necessary to pass the rod-shaped body through rings located at one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction, the bedding cover can be easily dried on the rod-shaped body, reducing the effort required for drying. In this bedding cover, by curving each of the four strip-shaped members to form annular portions through which the rod-shaped body is passed, the distance between the four annular portions can be brought closer together, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bedding cover on the rod-shaped body. Therefore, the space occupied by the bedding cover when drying can be reduced.

[0011] Each strip-shaped member may have a locking portion and a locking portion provided at a position separated from the locking portion that is detachably locked to the locking portion. An annular portion may be formed when the locking portion is locked to the locking portion. In this case, each strip-shaped member can form an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body is passed by locking the locking portion to the locking portion, and the locking portion is detachably attached to the locking portion. Therefore, bedding covers can be easily hung on the rod-shaped body, and after the bedding covers have dried, they can be easily removed from the rod-shaped body.

[0012] The bag may be rectangular in shape, and each strip-shaped member may be located at one of the four corners of the bag. In this case, a strip-shaped member is located at one of the four corners of the bag. Therefore, by hanging a pair of strip-shaped members, which are aligned along the shorter side of the bag, on a rod-shaped body and drying the bedding cover so that the shorter side coincides with the extending direction of the rod-shaped body, the space occupied by the bedding cover on the rod-shaped body can be further reduced.

[0013] The bag body has a rectangular shape, and each strip-shaped member may be located at each of the four corners of the bag body and the two long sides of the bag body. In this case, by bending each of the six strip-shaped members to form an annular portion through which the rod-shaped body passes, the intervals between the six annular portions can be made closer to each other, so that the occupied space of the bedding cover on the rod-shaped body can be narrowed. Further, since the strip-shaped members are located on the long sides of the bag body, only the surface fabric of the bag body is supported by the rod-shaped body when dried, so that the distance between the surface fabric and the lining of the bag body can be widened. Therefore, since the bedding cover can be easily dried by widening the distance between the surface fabric and the lining, the quick-drying property can be improved.

[0014] The bag body has a rectangular shape, and each strip-shaped member may be located at each of the positions separated from the four corners of the bag body on each of the two long sides of the bag body. In this case, since the strip-shaped members are located at each of the positions separated from the four corners, when dried, the distance between the portion of the surface fabric between a pair of strip-shaped members arranged along the rod-shaped body and the portion of the lining hanging down more from the strip-shaped members can be widened. Therefore, since the bedding cover can be easily dried by widening the distance between the surface fabric and the lining, the quick-drying property can be improved. In this case, it is only necessary that four strip-shaped members are fixed to the bag body, and the number of strip-shaped members can be minimized, so that an increase in the cost of the strip-shaped members can be suppressed.

[0015] The bag body has a rectangular shape, and the openings may be formed at both ends in the short side direction of the bag body. In this case, since the openings are formed on both sides in the short side direction of the bag body, the bedding body can be easily inserted into and removed from the bedding cover. Further, since the openings are formed on both sides in the short side direction of the bag body, the bedding cover can be dried without turning over the bag body.

[0016] The bedding cover may include a string-like member for connecting the bedding body to the bedding cover. Each strip-shaped member may be longer and thicker than the string-like member. In this case, since the length and thickness of the strip-shaped member hung on the rod-shaped body are larger than those of the string-like member, a stronger strip-shaped member can be obtained. Therefore, the possibility that the strip-shaped member comes off when the bedding cover is dried can be further reduced.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to the present disclosure, the space occupied when drying can be reduced, and the labor required for drying can be reduced.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] The embodiments of the bedding cover according to this disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted as appropriate. In addition, for the sake of ease of understanding, some parts of the drawings may be simplified or exaggerated, and the dimensional ratios, etc., are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0020] A bedding cover comprises a bag-like structure. "Bedding cover" refers to a cover that covers the bedding body. "Bedding body" refers to the parts of the bedding other than the bedding cover, for example, the part of the bedding that is covered by the bedding cover. "Bag-like structure" refers to a bag-like structure with an internal space. The bag-like structure has, for example, an outer fabric and an inner lining. The outer fabric refers to the fabric of the bag-like structure facing the front (or top), and the inner lining refers to the fabric of the bag-like structure facing the back (or bottom). The bag-like structure has an opening, which communicates with the internal space of the bag-like structure.

[0021] The bedding cover is fixed to the inside of the outer fabric of the bag and includes a strip-shaped member that protrudes from the opening of the bag. The "strip-shaped member" refers to a part or component that is hooked onto a rod-shaped body when the bedding cover is hung to dry. The "rod-shaped body" is a rod-shaped body on which the washed items are hung to dry. The rod-shaped body is, for example, a clothesline. Alternatively, the rod-shaped body may be a handrail or part of a hanger that extends horizontally.

[0022] The strip-shaped member can be switched between a state where it extends in a straight line and a state where it forms an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body passes. The "annular portion" refers to the ring-shaped part. The "state where it forms an annular portion through which a rod-shaped body passes" refers to a state where the strip-shaped member is hooked onto the rod-shaped body, then bent and tied to the rod-shaped body to form an annular shape, and a state where the strip-shaped member forms a ring surrounding the rod-shaped body.

[0023] (First Embodiment) Figure 1 shows a bedding cover 1 according to the first embodiment. For example, the bedding cover 1 is a duvet cover that accommodates a duvet as the bedding body. The bedding cover 1 has a bag body 2 and four strip-shaped members 10 that are hooked onto a rod-shaped body B (see Figure 5). The bag body 2 has a rectangular shape with a pair of long sides 2b that extend in a first direction D1 and are aligned along a second direction D2 that intersects (for example, perpendicular to) the first direction D1, and a pair of short sides 2c that extend in the second direction D2 and are aligned along the first direction D1.

[0024] The first direction D1 corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the bag 2, and the second direction D2 corresponds to the short direction of the bag 2. In this disclosure, "rectangular" includes not only strictly rectangular shapes but also shapes that are not strictly rectangular but appear rectangular, such as rounded-corner rectangles. Furthermore, "rectangle" includes squares in which the lengths of all four sides are equal.

[0025] Figure 2 is a view of the bedding cover 1 from one side in the second direction D2. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bag 2 has a rectangular outer fabric 3 facing upwards (e.g., the front side) and a rectangular lining 4 facing downwards (e.g., the bedding side). The outer fabric 3 and the lining 4 are sewn together at each end of the bag 2 in the first direction D1.

[0026] The bag body 2 has an opening 5 through which the bedding body can be inserted and removed. For example, the opening 5 is formed at one end and the other end of the bag body 2 in the second direction D2. That is, the bag body 2 is designed so that one end and the other end in the second direction D2 can be opened, and the bedding body can be inserted into and removed from the bag body 2 through the opening 5 from either end in the second direction D2.

[0027] The bag body 2 has an opening / closing member 6 for opening and closing the opening 5. For example, the opening / closing member 6 is a fastener (also called a zipper or wire fastener). For example, the bag body 2 has a plurality of opening / closing members 6, each opening / closing member 6 extending along the long side 2b of the bag body 2. The opening / closing member 6 has, for example, an element 6b fixed to the end of the outer fabric 3 in the second direction D2 that defines the opening 5, and the end of the lining 4 in the second direction D2, and a slider 6c that opens and closes the opening 5 defined by the element 6b by moving along the element 6b. The opening 5 can be opened and closed by moving the slider 6c along the first direction D1.

[0028] The bedding cover 1 has a string-like member 7 that connects to the bedding body. The string-like member 7 is fastened to a string-like body extending from the bedding body, which is housed in the internal space 8 of the bag 2. The bedding cover 1 has, for example, multiple string-like members 7, and each string-like member 7 is fixed to the inside of the outer fabric 3 by sewing.

[0029] For example, string-like members 7 are fixed by sewing to each of the four corners 2f, the long side 2b, and the short side 2c of the bag body 2. The "four corners" include not only the exact four corners but also parts that are slightly away from the four corners (for example, by a few centimeters). The number of string-like members 7 is eight as an example. However, the number of string-like members 7 is not limited to eight. For example, each string-like member 7 located on the long side 2b is provided so as to include the midpoint of the long side 2b, and each string-like member 7 located on the short side 2c is provided so as to include the midpoint of the short side 2c.

[0030] As described above, the bedding cover 1 has a strip-shaped member 10 that can be hooked onto the rod-shaped body B when the bedding cover 1 is hung to dry on the rod-shaped body B. The strip-shaped member 10 has, for example, a pair of long sides 10d that extend in the longitudinal direction A1 of the strip-shaped member 10 and are aligned along the width direction A2 of the strip-shaped member 10, and a pair of short sides 10f that extend in the width direction A2 and are aligned along the longitudinal direction A1. In this embodiment, the strip-shaped members 10 are provided at each of the four corners 2f of the bag body 2. Each strip-shaped member 10 is fixed to the inside of the outer fabric 3, and as an example, it is fixed to the inside of the outer fabric 3 by sewing.

[0031] For example, the strip-shaped member 10 is provided adjacent to the string-shaped members 7 located at the four corners 2f of the bag body 2. More specifically, the strip-shaped member 10 is provided closer to the center in the first direction D1 than the string-shaped member 7 on the long side 2b. The strip-shaped member 10 is longer and thicker than the string-shaped member 7.

[0032] Figure 3(a) shows a strip-shaped member 10 and a string-shaped member 7. Figure 3(b) shows a strip-shaped member 10 and a string-shaped member 7 fastened in a different way than in Figure 3(a). As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), the strip-shaped member 10 may have one end 10b fixed to the bag body 2 (outer fabric 3) and protrude linearly from the opening 5 (see Figure 3(a)), or the intermediate portion 10c in the longitudinal direction A1 of the strip-shaped member 10 may be fixed to the bag body 2 and both sides of the intermediate portion 10c protrude linearly from the opening 5 (see Figure 3(b)). In either case of Figure 3(a) or Figure 3(b), the strip-shaped member 10 can form the annular portion 10g (see Figure 5), which will be described later.

[0033] Figure 4(a) shows a strip-shaped member 10. The strip-shaped member 10 shown in Figure 4(a) is, for example, the same as the strip-shaped member 10 in Figure 3(a). As shown in Figure 4(a), the strip-shaped member 10 is tape-shaped. The length of the strip-shaped member 10 in the longitudinal direction A1 is, for example, 10 cm or more and 30 cm or less, and the length (width) of the strip-shaped member 10 in the width direction A2 is 1 cm or more and 3 cm or less. For example, the length of the strip-shaped member 10 in the longitudinal direction A1 is 3 times or more and 5 times or less the length of the string-shaped member 7 in the longitudinal direction, and the width of the strip-shaped member 10 is 1.1 times or more and 3 times or less the width of the string-shaped member 7.

[0034] For example, the strip-shaped member 10 is made of cloth. That is, the strip-shaped member 10 is composed of fibers. As an example, the material of the strip-shaped member 10 is polyester. However, the material of the strip-shaped member 10 is not limited to polyester, and may be made of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, or rayon, or woven fabric, and is not particularly limited. The material of the strip-shaped member 10 may be the same as the material of the cord-shaped member 7, for example. For example, the thickness of the strip-shaped member 10 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the cord-shaped member 7. This makes it possible to increase the strength of the strip-shaped member 10 compared to the strength of the cord-shaped member 7.

[0035] The strip-shaped member 10 has a locking portion 11 and a locking portion 12 provided at a position separated from the locking portion 11 and detachably locking onto the locking portion 11. The locking portion 12 locks onto the locking portion 11 to form an annular portion 10g. For example, the locking portion 11 is provided on one side of the longitudinal direction A1 of the strip-shaped member 10, and the locking portion 12 is provided on the other side of the longitudinal direction A1 of the strip-shaped member 10. As an example, the locking portion 11 and the locking portion 12 are hooks.

[0036] The distance L1 from one end 10b of the strip-shaped member 10 to the locking portion 12 (center of the locking portion 12) is, for example, 3 cm or more and 5 cm or less, and is 3.5 cm as an example. The distance L2 from the other end 10h of the strip-shaped member 10 to the locked portion 11 (center of the locked portion 11) is, for example, shorter than distance L1. For example, distance L2 is 1.5 cm or more and 4.5 cm or less, and is 2.5 cm as an example.

[0037] Figure 4(b) shows a strip-shaped member 10 relating to a different example from Figure 4(a). The strip-shaped member 10 shown in Figure 4(b) is, for example, identical to the strip-shaped member 10 in Figure 3(b). In the strip-shaped member 10 shown in Figure 4(b), the distance L3 from one end 10b of the strip-shaped member 10 to the locking portion 12 (center of the locking portion 12) is the same as the distance L3 from the other end 10h of the strip-shaped member 10 to the locked portion 11 (center of the locked portion 11). The distance L3 is, for example, 2 cm or more and 5 cm or less, and is 3 cm as an example.

[0038] Next, a method for drying the bedding cover 1 on the rod-shaped body B using the strip-shaped member 10 will be explained with reference to Figure 5. The rod-shaped body B is a clothes drying rod, and as an example, it is round. The width of the rod-shaped body B (or diameter if the rod-shaped body B is round) is, for example, 2 cm or more and 5 cm or less, and as an example, 3 cm. First, the strip-shaped members 10 provided at each of the four corners 2f of the bag body 2 are pulled out in a straight line from the opening 5 (the process of pulling out the strip-shaped members in a straight line).

[0039] Next, the strip-shaped member 10 is placed over the rod-shaped body B, and the strip-shaped member 10 is bent to lock the locking portion 12 onto the locking portion 11, forming an annular portion 10g through which the rod-shaped body B passes (step of forming the annular portion). By performing this annular portion 10g formation for each of the four strip-shaped members 10, the bedding cover 1 is hung on the rod-shaped body B, and the series of steps is completed. After the bedding cover 1 has dried, the bedding cover 1 can be removed from the rod-shaped body B by releasing the locking portion 12 of each strip-shaped member 10 from the locking portion 11.

[0040] Next, the effects and advantages obtained from the bedding cover 1 according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 5, the bedding cover 1 is equipped with four strip-shaped members 10 that protrude from the opening 5 of the bag body 2. Each of the four strip-shaped members 10 can be switched between a state in which it extends linearly from the opening 5 of the bag body 2 and a state in which it forms an annular portion 10g through which a rod-shaped body B for drying the bedding cover 1 is passed. Therefore, by placing each strip-shaped member 10 extending linearly from the opening 5 over the rod-shaped body B, and then curving each strip-shaped member 10 to form an annular portion 10g through which the rod-shaped body B is passed, the bedding cover 1 can be dried on the rod-shaped body B.

[0041] Therefore, the bedding cover 1 can be easily hung on the rod-shaped body B, reducing the effort required for drying. In the bedding cover 1, each of the four strip-shaped members 10 is curved to form an annular portion 10g through which the rod-shaped body B passes, thereby bringing the four annular portions 10g closer together, and thus reducing the space R occupied by the bedding cover 1 on the rod-shaped body B.

[0042] Therefore, the space R occupied by the bedding cover 1 when drying can be reduced, and more laundry can be hung in the space other than the space R occupied by the rod-shaped body B. Furthermore, a dedicated hanger for drying the bedding cover can be eliminated, and the bedding cover 1 can be dried without a hanger and in a space-saving manner.

[0043] In this embodiment, each strip-shaped member 10 has a locking portion 11 and a locking portion 12 provided at a position separated from the locking portion 11 and detachably locking to the locking portion 11. An annular portion 10g is formed when the locking portion 12 locks to the locking portion 11. Therefore, in each strip-shaped member 10, an annular portion 10g through which the rod-shaped body B is passed can be formed by locking the locking portion 12 to the locking portion 11, and the locking portion 12 is detachably attached to the locking portion 11. Thus, the bedding cover 1 can be easily hung on the rod-shaped body B, and the bedding cover 1 can be easily removed from the rod-shaped body B after it has dried.

[0044] In this embodiment, the bag body 2 is rectangular in shape, and each strip-shaped member 10 is located at each of the four corners 2f of the bag body 2. Therefore, a strip-shaped member 10 is located at each of the four corners 2f of the bag body 2. Thus, by hanging the bedding cover 1 on the rod-shaped body B with a pair of strip-shaped members 10 aligned along the short direction (second direction D2) of the bag body 2, and drying the bedding cover 1 so that the short direction coincides with the extending direction of the rod-shaped body B, the space R occupied by the bedding cover 1 on the rod-shaped body B can be further reduced. In contrast to the above example, the bedding cover 1 may also be dried by hanging the pair of strip-shaped members 10 aligned along the long direction (first direction D1) of the bag body 2 on the rod-shaped body B, so that the long direction coincides with the extending direction of the rod-shaped body B.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bag body 2 is rectangular in shape, and the openings 5 ​​are formed at both ends of the bag body 2 in the short direction. Therefore, since openings 5 ​​are formed on both sides of the bag body 2 in the short direction, the bedding body can be easily inserted into and removed from the bedding cover 1. In addition, because openings 5 ​​are formed on both sides of the bag body 2 in the short direction, the bedding cover 1 can be dried without turning the bag body 2 inside out.

[0046] In this embodiment, the bedding cover 1 is equipped with a string-like member 7 that connects to the bedding body. Each strip-like member 10 is longer and thicker than the string-like member 7. Therefore, since the length and thickness of the strip-like member 10 that hangs on the rod-shaped body B are greater than those of the string-like member 7, a stronger strip-like member 10 can be made. Consequently, the possibility of the strip-like member 10 coming off when the bedding cover 1 is dried can be further reduced.

[0047] (Second Embodiment) Next, the bedding cover 21 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 6. The bedding cover 21 differs from the bedding cover 1 described above in the number and arrangement of the strip-shaped members 10. Some of the components of the bedding cover 21 are the same as some of the components of the bedding cover 1 described above. Therefore, in the following, explanations that overlap with the explanation of the bedding cover 1 will be appropriately omitted by using the same reference numerals.

[0048] The bedding cover 21 has six strip-shaped members 10 that can be hooked onto the rod-shaped body B. The strip-shaped members 10 are provided adjacent to the string-shaped members 7 located at the four corners 2f of the bag body 2 and on each of the long sides 2b of the bag body 2. As an example, each strip-shaped member 10 located on the long side 2b is provided so as to include the midpoint of the long side 2b.

[0049] As described above, in the bedding cover 21 according to the second embodiment, the bag body 2 has a rectangular shape, and each strip-shaped member 10 is located at the four corners 2f of the bag body 2 and at the two long sides 2b of the bag body 2. Therefore, by curving each of the six strip-shaped members 10 to form annular portions 10g through which the rod-shaped body B is passed, the spacing between the six annular portions 10g can be brought closer together, thereby narrowing the space R occupied by the rod-shaped body B in the bedding cover 21.

[0050] Furthermore, because the strip-shaped member 10 is positioned along the long side 2b of the bag body 2, when drying, only the outer fabric 3 of the bag body 2 is supported by the rod-shaped member B, and the lining 4 hangs down more than the outer fabric 3, thus increasing the distance between the outer fabric 3 and the lining 4 of the bag body 2 when drying. Consequently, the increased distance between the outer fabric 3 and the lining 4 makes it easier for the bedding cover 21 to dry, thus improving its quick-drying properties.

[0051] (Third embodiment) Next, the bedding cover 31 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 7. The bedding cover 31 has four strip-shaped members 10 that can be hooked onto the rod-shaped body B. The strip-shaped members 10 are provided at each of the four corners 2f on the long side 2b of the bag body 2, at locations 2j spaced apart from each of the four corners 2f. The distance L4 between the four corners 2f and the location 2j is, for example, 5 cm or more and 30 cm or less. However, the distance L4 may be 10 cm or more or 12 cm or more, or 25 cm or less, 20 cm or less, or 15 cm or less.

[0052] As described above, in the bedding cover 31 according to the third embodiment, the bag body 2 has a rectangular shape, and each strip-shaped member 10 is located at a point 2j away from the four corners 2f of the bag body 2 on each of the two long sides 2b of the bag body 2. Therefore, as schematically shown in Figure 8, by positioning the strip-shaped members 10 at each of the points 2j away from the four corners 2f, the gap W between the portion of the outer fabric 3 between the pair of strip-shaped members 10 lined up along the rod-shaped body B and the portion of the lining 4 that hangs down more from the strip-shaped members 10 can be widened when drying.

[0053] Therefore, by widening the gap W between the outer fabric 3 and the inner fabric 4, the bedding cover 31 can be dried more easily, thus improving its quick-drying properties. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, it is sufficient for four strip-shaped members 10 to be fixed to the bag body 2, and the number of strip-shaped members 10 can be kept to the minimum necessary, thus suppressing an increase in the cost associated with the strip-shaped members 10. In addition, in the third embodiment, the strip-shaped members 10 are fixed by sewing at a location 2j separated from the string-shaped member 7. Therefore, compared to the case where the strip-shaped members 10 are sewn at a location adjacent to the string-shaped member 7, sewing the strip-shaped members 10 can be performed more easily.

[0054] The various embodiments of the bedding cover relating to this disclosure have been described above. However, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and may be modified or applied to other things without changing the gist of the claims. That is, the shape, size, number, material and arrangement of each part of the bedding cover can be changed as appropriate without changing the gist of the claims.

[0055] For example, Figure 5 illustrates an example where four strip-shaped members 10 are hooked onto one rod-shaped body B. However, the four strip-shaped members 10 may be hooked onto multiple rod-shaped bodies B. For example, two of the four strip-shaped members 10 may be hooked onto one of two rod-shaped bodies B, and the remaining two strip-shaped members 10 may be hooked onto the other of the two rod-shaped bodies B. When the four strip-shaped members 10 are hooked onto multiple rod-shaped bodies B, the quick-drying properties of the bedding cover can be further enhanced.

[0056] In the embodiment described above, an example was given in which the rod-shaped body B is a clothes drying pole. However, the rod-shaped body on which the bedding cover 1 is dried may be something other than a clothes drying pole. For example, the rod-shaped body may be part of a hanger, and the strip-shaped member 10 may be hooked onto a concave portion formed on the hanger. Thus, the type of rod-shaped body used when drying the bedding cover can be changed as appropriate.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, an example was given in which openings 5 ​​are formed on both sides of the bag 2 in the short direction. However, an opening may be formed on only one side of the bag in the short direction. In this case, the bedding cover can be hung on the rod-shaped body by turning the bag inside out and allowing the strip-shaped member to protrude linearly from the opening and hooking it onto the rod-shaped body.

[0058] In the above-described embodiment, an example was given in which the locking portion 11 and the locking portion 12 of the strip-shaped member 10 are hooks. However, the locking portion and the locking portion may be something other than a hook, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener. In this case, it is also possible to omit the locking portion and have a strip-shaped member that only has a locking portion. Thus, the types of locking portion and the locking portion can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, there may be a strip-shaped member that does not have a locking portion or a locking portion. In this case, the strip-shaped member forms an annular portion by being tied to a rod-shaped body. Thus, the form of the strip-shaped member can be changed as appropriate.

[0059] In the above-described embodiment, an opening / closing member 6 is provided in the opening 5, and an example was described in which the opening / closing member 6 is a zipper. However, the opening / closing member may be something other than a zipper, such as a button, string, or elastic. Thus, the type of opening / closing member is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the opening may not have an opening / closing member provided.

[0060] In the above-described embodiment, a bedding cover 1, which is a duvet cover that accommodates a duvet, was explained. However, the bedding cover may also be a fitted sheet, a sheet, a pillowcase, a cushion cover, or a zabuton cover, and the type of bedding cover and the type of bedding contained within the bedding cover can be changed as appropriate.
