Fitted Sheet with Adjustable Hook and Latch Closures

Abstract

A fitted bed sheet attachment and securing system that allows for the coupling of sheet to mattress as disclosed. The bed sheet of the present invention comprises a sheet base with at least one sheet corner harboring a notched edge bordering sheet sides that is configured in a reverse L-shaped fashion. The notched edge is characterized by a hook and latch system where a male closure strip is adhered to one leg of the right angle and a female closure strip is adhered to the opposite leg of the right angle. The sheet also consists of sheet extensions that project away from the sheet base and sides. These sheet extensions also contain male and female hook and latch type closures that are designed to mate with one another. During the use of the present invention, the flat sheet is draped over the mattress with the notched edge aligned with its respective corner, male and female closures are made to mate around the mattress corner and sheet side extensions are tucked in between mattress and box springs and joined under the mattress corner via similar male and female closures.

1 . A improved fitted sheet construction for removable attachment to a mattress covering mattress top and sides, said sheet comprising:
 abase sheet;   notched sheet corners forming a right angle having a reverse L-shaped configuration with mating male and female hook and latch closures of sufficient length to engage corresponding arms existing at the opposite legs of right angle;   sheet side extensions running parallel to and extending away from sheet sides for tucking underneath mattress between mattress and box spring   hook and latch type male closures strips securely attached at exactly one arm of the notched right angle;   hook and latch type female closure strips securely attached to a flap at either end of a sheet side residing on the opposite arm of the notched right angle;   
     
     
         2 . The improved fitted sheet of  claim 1  further encompassing:
 an extension of material running the length of each sheet side projecting from sheet base, less than or equal to the measure of the sheet depth, of sufficient width for tucking said sheet under said mattress; 
 an extension of sheet material running the length of the mattress sides harboring a hook and latch type closure at either mattress corner of sufficient length for engagement with a corresponding hook and latch type closure at the end of perpendicularly running sheet material extension; 
 a male hook and latch closure strip that runs the width of sheet side and sheet extension; 
 a female hook and latch closure strip residing on the opposite arm of the notched right angle that runs only the width of the fitted sheet side; 
 a female extension tab affixed to the sheet extension residing on the same side as the sheet side harboring the female closure strip; 
 said extension tab is designed to engage the most distal portion of the male closure strip underneath the mattress corner.
