Abstract
An elongated flat arm is joined at one end to the outer side of one of a pair of spaced apart legs, with that leg extending at about 90 degrees to the arm. The legs are joined together at one end, and are open ended at the other end. Inwardly directed cooperating projections are located adjacent the open end. A latch having a knobbed end is joined intermediate the length of the joined leg, and that latch extends towards and works in combination with an opening through the opposite leg to hold the legs together.
Claims12
A device for holding bedding in place comprising:
- an elongated arm to be inserted between a mattress and a mattress support, a deep essentially U-shaped section having one leg joined to the outer end of the inserted arm with the open end of the U-shaped section up and having inwardly directed cooperating projections, a support member joined to the inside of one leg extending toward the opposite leg and having a knob on the end, and the second leg having an opening sized and located to permit the knob to extend through and catch against a side of the opening to latch the legs with cooperating projections together and hold the bedding in place.
A device for retaining bedding comprising:
- an elongated essentially flat arm, a pair of spaced apart legs joined together at one end and having a first one of the pair of legs joined at about 90 degrees to an end of the arm, at least one inwardly directed projection adjacent an open end of the first leg and at least one inwardly directed projection adjacent an open end of the second leg to in combination provide a holding means when the legs are brought together, the second leg having an opening located intermediate its length, and a latch member secured to a first leg to extend toward the opening on the second leg with the member having a knob to extend through the opening and catch against the outer side of the second leg when the second leg is pressed toward the first leg.
