This summary is provided to introduce a variety of concepts in a simplified form that is further disclosed in the detailed description of the embodiments. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
A sheet grip may include a generally circular sector shaped base including a first base surface opposite a second base surface. A first friction layer including a friction generating material may be disposed on the first base surface. A second friction layer including a friction generating material may be disposed on the second base surface. A generally curved wall may be fixed to the base, the generally curved wall including a first wall surface opposite a second wall surface. A third friction layer including a friction generating material may be disposed on the first wall surface. A fourth friction layer may include a friction generating material disposed on the second wall surface.
The sheet grip may be constructed and arranged to prevent elastic-trimmed sheets from slipping off mattress corners.
Other illustrative variations within the scope of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. The detailed description and enumerated variations, while disclosing optional variations, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention
The specific details of the single embodiment or variety of embodiments described herein are to the described product and methods of use. Any specific details of the embodiments are used for demonstration purposes only and no unnecessary limitations or inferences are to be understood from there.
It is noted that the embodiments reside primarily in combinations of components and procedures related to the product. Accordingly, the product components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.
The disclosed sheet grip may include base substrate and a wall. The base may be generally circular sector shaped. The wall may be generally arc-shaped and may be joined to the base at an arc of the circular sector-shaped base. According to some embodiments, the base and wall may be made of plastic, such as a rigid or semi-rigid plastic.
A flexible, high friction-producing material may be disposed on a top surface and bottom surface of the base and an interior surface and exterior surface of the wall. The high friction material may be constructed and arranged as a friction layer having a rough or textured surface and may include materials such as, but not limited to, wool, corduroy, fleece, hook-and-loop textiles, denim, towel, leather, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polyurethane (PU). The high friction material may be constructed and arranged to create resistance to movement of the sheet grip when the sheet grip is positioned between a box-spring and mattress, or mattress and bed frame, mattress and floor, or other mattress and bedding arrangement. The sheet grip may be positioned partially below a mattress and inside of a bed sheet or may be positioned on top of a bed sheet to prevent bed sheets from coming off a mattress or bedding.
The sheet grip may be constructed and arranged to prevent elastic-trimmed sheets from slipping off mattress corners.
