BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an implement to be attached to the ends of a mat or mattress for fastening the ends of a sheet onto the ends of the mat.
A bed 1 for hotel use generally has, as shown in FIG. 1, a bed base 4 and a mat 5 placed on the base 1. Such a bed 1 has at least one side (i.e., lateral one side) thereof contacted with a wall surface 2 when installed in a relatively narrow room as in a so-called business hotel. (Numeral 3 designates a floor surface in the room.) Thus, the bed base 4 and the mat 5 are substantially contacted at one side thereof with the wall surface 2 in the room.
Heretofore, in order to fix a lower bed sheet 6 onto the upper surface of the mat 5, the ends 6a of the sheet 6 must be folded underneath the mat 5 and tuck in between the base 4 and the mat 5 so as to prevent the sheet 6 from being displaced and removed from the mat 5 due to the weight of a person laid on the mat or his turning over in sleep.
However, since one side of the bed 1 is contacted with the wall surface 2, it is necessary for tucking the ends 6a of the sheet 6 in between the base 4 and the mat 5 at the bed side on which the bed is thus contacted with the wall surface 2 for a worker either to ride on the mat 5 and to then raise the side of the mat 5 on the wall surface 2 or to pull the entire bed 1 off the wall surface.
The work of tucking the end 6a of the sheet 6 in between the base 4 and the mat 5 during raising the side of the mat 5 while riding on the mat 5 is very complicated, takes a plenty of time and bears a heavy load since the mat 5 is very heavy. Further, the work of pulling the entire bed 1 off the wall surface, laying the sheet 6 thereon and then returning the bed 1 to the wall surface 2 causes heavy labor due to much gravity of the bed 1. In addition, if the room is narrow for such work, it is also inconveniently necessary to move a desk, chairs and other furnitures so as to pull the bed 1 off the wall surface, and the floor surface 3 (or the carpet laid on the floor surface 3) tends to be broken due to the movement of the bed 1.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an implement for fastening a sheet to a mat, which can eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the conventional mat and can simply attach a sheet on the mat. The sheet fastening implement according to the present invention is provided with a resilient sheet clamping member and is adapted to be mounted on one end of the mat. The sheet fastening implements are mounted on both ends of the mat. Clamping a sheet with the sheet clamping member facilitates a sheet attaching work manifold.
The sheet fastening implement according to the present invention can be hence simply mounted on the mat, the sheet can be extremely simply and readily mounted on the mat body in a firm manner. Thus, it is not necessary to tuck the end of the sheet in between the mat and the bed body as the conventional one. Therefore, when the mat incorporating the sheet fastening implement according to the invention is used as the bed, the worker can be released from the conventional heavy works of riding on the mat or pulling the entire bed off the wall surface and then returning the bed to the wall surface. Further, it is not necessary even in a narrow room to move other furnitures, the bed making work can be remarkably simplified, and can be performed easily and regularly in much shorter times than before. Since the bed base need not be moved, the floor surface 3 is less liable to be damaged. In addition, since the end of the sheet is not tucked in between the mat and the bed base, even when the used sheet is removed from the bed, the sheet may be readily removed, and the sheet is exempt from damage. Since the sheet fastening implement can be fabricated in a mass production in various sizes and can be simply mounted on the existing mat, this advantageous precludes the necessity of newly manufacturing mats equipped with a sheet clamping member, so that the present i
