Abstract

A bed tent kit to provide a removable enclosure over a bed mattress includes a foundation sheet having a first edge region and adapted for placement between the bed mattress and a supporting structure beneath the bed mattress. The foundation sheet includes a plurality of first attachment mechanisms spaced apart along the first edge region of the foundation sheet. A set of support poles has free pole ends each adapted for attachment to the foundation sheet by a respective one of the first attachment mechanisms. The set of support poles presents a framework above the mattress when the free pole ends are attached to the foundation sheet. A canopy sheet has a second edge region and a plurality of second attachment mechanisms spaced apart along the second edge region. The canopy sheet is adapted to rest over the framework when the set of support poles are attached to the foundation sheet. The canopy sheet is attachable to the foundation sheet by the second attachment mechanisms independent of the attachment of the free pole ends of the support poles to the foundation sheet by the first attachment mechanisms.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bed tent kit to provide a removable enclosure over a bed mattress, comprising:
 a foundation sheet having a first edge region and adapted for placement between the bed mattress and a supporting structure beneath the bed mattress, wherein the foundation sheet includes a plurality of first attachment mechanisms spaced apart along the first edge region of the foundation sheet;   a set of support poles having free pole ends each adapted for attachment to the foundation sheet by a respective one of the first attachment mechanisms, the set of support poles presenting a framework above the mattress when the free pole ends are attached to the foundation sheet; and   a canopy sheet having a second edge region and a plurality of second attachment mechanisms spaced apart along the second edge region, the canopy sheet being adapted to rest over the framework when the set of support poles are attached to the foundation sheet, wherein the canopy sheet is attachable to the foundation sheet by the second attachment mechanisms independent of the attachment of the free pole ends of the support poles to the foundation sheet by the first attachment mechanisms.   
     
     
         2 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the first attachment mechanism comprises one of a pocket, snap, grommet, or a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         3 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the set of support poles comprise two of equal length that cross diagonally over the bed and are interchangeable. 
     
     
         4 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , wherein the support poles are collapsible. 
     
     
         5 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the free ends of the support poles extend below the mattress when attached to the foundation sheet. 
     
     
         6 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the canopy sheet is independent of the foundation sheet and removable from the set of support poles without disassembly of the set of support poles from the foundation sheet. 
     
     
         7 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the foundation sheet and canopy sheet are each comprised of a flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The bed tent of  claim 7 , wherein the material of the foundation sheet and canopy are respectively selected from one of vinyl, polyethylene, cotton, linen, polyester, rubber or other elastic material. 
     
     
         9 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the canopy sheet includes at least one closeable opening for ingress and egress. 
     
     
         10 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , where the canopy sheet is attachable after attachment of the set of the support poles by the first attachment mechanisms from a space exterior of the enclosure presented by the canopy when resting on the set of support poles. 
     
     
         11 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , wherein the foundation sheet has four corners, and the first attachment mechanisms are located at least at a respective one of the four corners of the foundation sheet. 
     
     
         12 . The bed tent kit of  claim 1 , wherein the canopy sheet has four corners, and the second attachment mechanisms are located at least at a respective one of the four corners of the canopy sheet.
