Abstract
A sheet of pliable, washable material is configured to cover at least a portion of a piece of furniture, such as a mattress. A manifold and a plurality of air flow tubes are formed in the sheet, with the air flow tubes in communication with the manifold. The air flow tubes include top surfaces that are constructed to release air at a controlled rate therethrough. The sheet helps reduce exposure to allergens and other harmful particles, including the house dust mite.
Claims24
A furniture cover comprising:
- a sheet of pliable, washable material configured to cover at least a portion of a piece of furniture;
- and a manifold and a plurality of air flow tubes formed in said sheet, with said air flow tubes in flow communication with said manifold, and said air flow tubes include top surfaces that are constructed to release air at a controlled rate therethrough.
A bedding sheet for a mattress, comprising:
- a sheet of pliable, washable material configured to cover at least a portion of the upper surface of the mattress;
- and a manifold and a plurality of air flow tubes formed in the sheet, with said air flow tubes in flow communication with said manifold, and said air flow tubes include top surfaces that are constructed to release air at a controlled rate therethrough.
A system, comprising:
- a sheet of pliable, washable material configured to cover at least a portion of the upper surface of a mattress;
- and a manifold and a plurality of air flow tubes formed in the sheet, with said air flow tubes in flow communication with said manifold, and said air flow tubes include top surfaces that are constructed to release air at a controlled rate therethrough;
- and
- an air delivery unit connectable to the sheet to deliver air to said manifold.
A system for delivering conditioned air to a person's breathing zone, comprising:
- a device for distributing conditioned air adjacent the person's breathing zone while the person is disposed on an item of furniture, the device having at least one air flow passage defined therein to allow flow of conditioned air within the device, and the device having at least one surface that is in flow communication with the flow passage and that is constructed to release conditioned air at a controlled rate therethrough;
- and the device is configured to cooperate with the item of furniture so that the conditioned air released through the surface is directed toward the individual disposed on the item of furniture;
- and
- an air delivery unit connectable to the device to deliver conditioned air to the air flow passage.
A method of improving the air quality in a personal breathing environment of an individual occupying a piece of furniture, comprising:
- providing a device for distributing conditioned air, the device having at least one air flow passage defined therein to allow flow of conditioned air within the device, and the device having at least one surface that is in flow communication with the flow passage and that is constructed to release conditioned air at a controlled rate therethrough;
- arranging the device relative to an individual occupying an item of furniture so that conditioned air released through the surface is directed toward an area around the individual's head and into the individual's breathing environment when the individual is occupying the item of furniture;
- and
- delivering conditioned air to the air flow passage in the device whereby some of the conditioned air is directed into the personal breathing environment of the individual.
