Fitted covering for a mattress

摘要

A fitted covering for a mattress includes a body, a peripheral elastic cord, and corner elastic bands. The body includes an upper panel and a side skirt extending outwardly away from the upper panel to define a free edge opposite the upper panel. The upper panel defines corners, and the side skirt defines corner lines each extending away from one of the corners of the upper panel. The peripheral elastic cord is coupled to and extends substantially coextensively with the free edge. The corner elastic bands are each formed separately from one another. The corner elastic bands each extend substantially transversely across and secured to a corresponding one of the corner lines of the side skirt. Each of the corner elastic bands is positioned nearer the peripheral elastic cord than the upper panel.

1. A fitted covering for a mattress, the fitted covering comprising:
a body including an upper panel and a side skirt extending outwardly away from the upper panel to define a free edge opposite the upper panel, wherein:
the upper panel defines corners, andthe side skirt defines corner lines each extending away from one of the corners of the upper panel; a peripheral elastic cord coupled to and extending substantially coextensively with the free edge; and corner elastic bands each formed separately and being spaced from one another, the corner elastic bands each extending substantially transversely across and being secured to a corresponding one of the corner lines of the side skirt, wherein each of the corner elastic bands is positioned nearer the peripheral elastic cord than the upper panel, each of the corner elastic bands includes opposing ends and a center positioned between the opposing ends, and the center of each of the corner elastic bands is secured to the corresponding one of the corner lines of the side skirt such that the center of each of the corresponding elastic bands is positioned farther away from the peripheral elastic cord than any other portion of the corner elastic band; wherein:
the side skirt includes four side panels each extending from a different edge of the upper panel, andeach of the four side panels is sewn to two adjacent others of the four side panels along the corner lines to form a corner seam extending along each corner line, andthe four side panels collectively define the side skirt.
