Anchor pin for bed skirt

Abstract

An anchor pin 18 shown full view FIG. 6 a device designed for securing bed skirts 23 from slipping and sliding off of the box spring 17 and hanging down on the floor. The design of the anchor 18 with two long bent prongs 14 grips the fabric 23 and curves down inside the box spring 17 creating a locking position FIG. 5 for securing the skirt 23 . The design of the heads 16 secure the prongs 14 tight against the fabric surface 24 of the bed skirt 23 keeping the skirt within the boundaries of the box spring 17 The anchor 18 is preferably made from a rigid material such as steel or other metals and could be plastic resins and or particularly a fiber reinforced plastic or a combination thereof.

1 . An anchor for securing a section of fabric against a surface of an object such as a box spring, the invention comprising:
 a body having an upper surface and an underside surface and two spaced apart prongs protruding from the underside surface of the body, each said prong having a bend along its length so that the anchor may be inserted through the fabric and into the surface of the box spring.   
   
   
       2 . An anchor according to  claim 1  and wherein said body comprises a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material, the body further having a generally elongated shape having opposite ends and opposite sides with rounded ends. 
   
   
       3 . An anchor according to  claim 1  and wherein said body comprises a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material, the body further having a generally rectangular shape having opposite ends and opposite sides. 
   
   
       4 . An anchor according to  claim 1  and wherein said body comprises a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material, the body further having a generally round shape having opposite sides. 
   
   
       5 . An anchor according to  claim 1  and wherein said body comprises a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material, the body further having a generally square shape having opposite sides. 
   
   
       6 . An anchor according to  claims 2 ,  3 ,  4 ,  5 , and wherein said prongs are placed near the ends or sides of said body. 
   
   
       7 . A system for decorating a bed having a box spring, the system being used to secure a section of decorative fabric to the box spring, the system comprising:
 an anchor comprising:   a substantially flat body having an upper surface and a underside surface having two prongs protruding from the underside surface of the body, each said prong having a bend along its length so that the prongs may be inserted through a substantially flat section of the decorative fabric and into the box spring.   
   
   
       8 . A system according to  claims 2 ,  3 ,  4 , and  5  and wherein said body comprises a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material, the body further having a generally elongated shape, or a rectangular shape, or a round shape, or a square shape having opposite ends and sides to hold the decorative fabric in place. 
   
   
       9 . A system according to  claim 8  and wherein said prongs are placed near the ends or sides of said body. 
   
   
       10 . A method of decorating a bed having a box spring with a section of decorative fabric, the method comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing an anchor having an upper surface and underside and two spaced apart prongs protruding from the underside of the body with each said prong having a bend along its length at approximately a 90 degree angle.   (b) placing the anchor on an upper surface of said box spring so that the prongs of said anchor may be inserted through the fabric and into the surface of the box spring creating a locking position for the section of decorative fabric.   (c) said anchor comprising a substantially flat section of substantially rigid material the body having an elongated shape, or a rectangular shape, or a round shape or square shape with opposite ends and opposite sides.
