A device for use in fitting a duvet cover, to a duvet having a length and a width, the device comprising an elongate carrier having means for removably mounting the carrier on a support in a substantially horizontal position, and two releasable clamping devices mounted on the carrier in longitudinally spaced locations, at least one of the clamping devices being so mounted on the carrier that its position may be adjusted longitudinally thereof, whereby the distance between the clamping devices may be varied, the elongate carrier having a length sufficient to allow the clamping devices to be spaced apart from one another by a distance that is slightly less than the width of the duvet, the device further comprising one or more clamping devices mounted on the carrier and located between the first two clamping devices.
A device for use in fitting a duvet cover, comprising an elongate carrier having means for removably mounting the carrier on a support in a substantially horizontal position, and two releasable clamping devices mounted on the carrier in longitudinally spaced locations, at least one of the clamping devices being so mounted on the carrier that its position may be adjusted longitudinally thereof, whereby the distance between the clamping devices may be varied, the elongate carrier including two sections connected to one another by a hinge, each section of the carrier carrying a clamp plate, the clamp plates abutting one another when the sections lie coaxially with one another to form a further clamping device.
A method of fitting a duvet cover to a duvet having first and second corners comprising:
- (a) taking a device comprising an elongate carrier having means for removably mounting the carrier on a support in a substantially horizontal position, and two releasable clamping devices mounted on the carrier in longitudinally spaced locations, at least one of the clamping devices being so mounted on the carrier that its position may be adjusted longitudinally thereof, whereby the distance between the clamping devices may be varied;
- (b) suspending the device from the support;
- (c) locating the first and second corners of the duvet adjacent the corresponding corners of the duvet cover;
- (d) securing the first and second corners to respective ones of the clamping devices;
- and
- (e) pulling the duvet cover fully over the duvet.
