Abstract

Abstract A plastic back absorbtion pad sheet assembly adapted for use upon beds to overlie mattresses and sheets of the bed which can be disposed of when becoming soiled and which will prevent the soiling of the bed sheets and mattress. A stack of these assemblies is provided and the assemblies held in place in stack relation by the heat sealing together of rolled over edges of the backing sheet but permitting detachment of the assemblies when removing a soiled one from the others. This stack of absorbtion pad sheet assemblies can be assembled upon the mattress by means of a large bottom underlayer sheet which can be tucked in at the sides of the mattress or upon a contour sheet which is automatically tucked in by the elastic pull corners when placed over the corners of a mattress. The underlying support sheets for the stack assemblies can also be secured to side edges of a contour sheet by snap fastening elements. The assemblies can be arranged in row fashion with perforations separating one sheet assembly from the other which renders the same easy for one assembly to be torn away from the other assemblies. A device is provided for supporting the roll of assemblies on a bed including a casing and a turn wheel on the end of the casing for turning the roller of assemblies.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A plastic backing sheet and absorption pad assembly comprising a stack of individual absorption pad sheet assemblies, each of said pad sheet assemblies including a plurality of absorption pad sheets, a plastic backing sheet being folded upwardly and over the absorption pad sheets along at least one edge of the stack assembly and heat sealed said individual absorption pad sheet assemblies being assembled along their turned over edges of their backing sheets loosely one upon the other, and said individual assemblies being joined in their stacked relationship along at least one edge by a continuous side edge strip plastic heat sealed to the uppermost and lowermost assembly and having perforations extending laterally throughout the length of the strip and between assemblies each of the individual assemblies thereby being separable for permitting the easy lifting or removal of one of the assemblies of the stack from the other.
