Abstract
Provided herein is a linen set organizer with a set of perpendicularly oriented intersecting straps having fastening elements on the distal ends to releasably fasten the straps around a linen set and secure the set and wherein the straps bear identifying indicia for easy identification of the bundled content.
Claims15
A linen organizer, comprising:
- a central panel of a defined length, width and thickness, bearing select identifying indicia, said central panel lying in a first plane;
- a first flexible strap of a first select length connected to said central panel and having a width less than the width of the central panel, a second flexible strap of a second select length connected to said central panel and having a width less than the width of the central panel, a third flexible strap of a third select length connected to said panel and having a width less than the length of the central panel, and a fourth flexible strap of a fourth select length connected to said panel and having a width less than the length of the central panel;
- where said first and second straps are collinearly disposed in a first direction and said third and fourth straps are collinearly disposed in a second direction where said first and second directions are substantially perpendicular and crossover at the central panel;
- where each of said first, second, third, and fourth straps have a distal end with an upper and lower surface remotely spaced from the central panel;
- where said upper surfaces of the distal ends of said first and third straps incorporate a first cooperating element of a fastening means and said lower surfaces of the distal ends of said second and fourth straps incorporate a second cooperating element of a fastening means;
- and
- where confronting the distal ends of said first and second straps and said third and fourth straps, respectively, and engaging said first and second cooperating elements fastens the respective distal ends together in a second plane and substantially underlying said central panel.
A linen set organizer, comprising:
- a first strap, a second strap, a third strap and a fourth strap, each having distal end, said first and third straps extending collinearly in a first direction and said second and fourth straps extending collinearly in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, said first second, third, and fourth straps each including an upper and lower surface where the upper surface incorporates a first select identifying indicia and the lower surface incorporates a second select identifying indicia;
- said first and second straps incorporating at their respective distal ends a first cooperating element of a releasable fastener member on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces;
- and
- said third and fourth straps incorporating at their respective distal ends a second cooperating element of a releasable fastener member on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces;
- where said fastener members are established by engaging the first and second cooperating elements to secure the distal end of the first and third straps and the second and fourth straps respectively to securely bundle a linen set in three dimensions for storage.
A linen set organizing method utilizing a linen set bundling adjunct, including a first strap, a second strap, a third strap and a fourth strap, each having distal end, said first and third straps extending collinearly in a first direction and said second and fourth straps extending collinearly in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, said first second, third, and fourth straps each including an upper and lower surface, where the upper surface incorporates a first select identifying indicia and the lower surface incorporates a second select identifying indicia, said first and second straps incorporating at their respective distal ends a first cooperating element of a releasable fastener member on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces, said third and fourth straps incorporating at their respective distal ends a second cooperating element of a releasable fastener member on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces, said method comprising the steps of:
- laying the adjunct on a flat supporting surface with the select identifying indicia juxtaposed thereon, where the first and third straps extend in a first axial direction and the second and fourth straps extend in a second axial direction orthogonally to the first axial direction;
- laying a folded linen set medially on the adjunct;
- folding the first strap over the linen set;
- folding the third strap over the linen set;
- establishing said fastener member by engaging the first and second cooperating elements to secure the distal end of the first and third straps fastening the distal ends of the first and third straps in a fashion to frictionally engage the linen set;
- folding the second strap over the linen set;
- folding the fourth strap over the linen set;
- and
- establishing said fastener member by engaging the first and second cooperating elements to secure the distal end of the second and fourth straps in a fashion to frictionally engage the linen set and create a secured bundle;
- where the exposed indicia on the straps identify the content of the secured bundle.
