Bed-Making Apparatus and Continuous Web of Sheet Sets for Use Therewith

A bed-making apparatus for changing a sheet set on a bed, comprising:

• a. a delivery guide mountable at an end of the bed, the delivery guide capable of feeding onto the surface of the bed a continuous web of sheet sets comprising:
• i. a continuous length of bottom sheets, each bottom sheet having a head edge and a foot edge, said continuous length being formed by releasably fastening the head edges of the bottom sheets to foot edges of adjacent bottom sheets;
• ii. a plurality of top sheets corresponding to the number of bottom sheets in the continuous length, each top sheet having a head edge, a foot edge, and opposite side edges, wherein each top sheet is attached along its foot edge to a bottom sheet in the continuous length parallel and adjacent to the foot edge thereof;
• and wherein the head edge and opposite side edges of each top sheet remain unattached;
• whereby the delivery guide will deliver the continuous web of sheet sets with the foot edge of a top sheet in advance of the head edge of a top sheet onto an upper surface of the bed;
• b. a receiving roller rotatably mountable at an end of the bed and capable of receiving and rolling thereon the continuous web of sheet sets from the delivery guide, configured to receive the continuous web of sheet sets with the foot edge of a top sheet in advance of the head edge of a top sheet from the upper surface of the bed;
• c. a rotation mechanism operative to rotate the receiving roller and pull the continuous web of sheet sets from the delivery guide across the upper surface of the bed onto the receiving roller;
• and
• d. a roller locking mechanism operative to exert a tension on the continuous web of sheet sets between the delivery guide and the receiving roller.
