Dual form and dual use of folding accessory and a compatible bed sheet

Abstract

A dual form and dual use of a folding accessory is disclosed. A folding plate suitable for supporting and strengthening a folded cloth or soft sheet has another use, after its role as a folding support ends. The folding accessory may be used as ‘raw material’ for preparing a useful container, for example by marking in advance proper folding lines and cutting in advance cuts in the folding accessory. Thus, once the factory manufactured and packed article has been opened, the folding accessory can be formed as a container simply by folding its various facets along the respective lines, and inserting strengthening tabs into pre-prepared cuts.

1 . A folding accessory plate for supporting a folded bed sheet, the folding accessory formed as flat sheet and comprising:
 at least two folding lines marked thereon;   at least one strengthening cut made in a portion thereof,   wherein folding of portions of the sheet along the marked folding lines in a defined order and inserting created tabs into the at least one strengthening cut forms said sheet into a container, and   wherein the folded folding accessory container is adapted to be securely placed on at least one placement aid.   
     
     
         2 . A bed sheet adapted to be supported by the folding accessory of  claim 1  when folded, comprising:
 at least one placement aid disposed on the bed sheet. 
 
     
     
         3 . The folding accessory of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one hanging cut made in a portion of the folding accessory,
 wherein the hanging cut enables folding a portion of the folding accessory bordered by the hanging cut slightly out of the plane of that portion.   
     
     
         4 . The bed sheet of  claim 3  wherein the at least one placement aid is formed as a ribbon attached to the bed sheet in at least two locations along the ribbon and leaving a portion of the ribbon unattached to the bed sheet. 
     
     
         5 . The bed sheet of  claim 4  wherein the at least one placement aid is disposed on the bed sheet at location adapted to face a side of a mattress when the bed sheet is tidily placed on the mattress. 
     
     
         6 . The folding accessory of  claim 3  wherein when folded to form an open top container, is adapted to contain at least one smartphone having length of at least 14.5 centimeters and thickness of at least one centimeter. 
     
     
         7 . A method for providing a container for hanging from a bed sheet comprising:
 providing a bed sheet with folding support accessory, the folding accessory is prep-prepared for forming a container, the bed sheet is provided with hanging means;   unfolding the bed sheet from the folding accessory and wrapping a mattress with it;   folding the folding accessory according to the pre-prepared folding lines and cuts to form a container; and   attaching the formed container to the bed sheet wrapping the mattress on the prep-prepared hanging means.
