Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A one-piece bedsheeting arrangement that fits about a mattress, which comprises: a. a top sheet having rounded corners at one top sheet end and with top darts extending inward from each of said rounded corners to a point of said top sheet that will lay adjacent a corner of said mattress nearest said dart; b. a bottom sheet having rounded corners at both bottom sheet ends, wherein said rounded corner at one end of said bottom sheet ends have an identical curvature as said rounded top sheet corners, and have bottom darts extending inward from each of said rounded corners to a point of said bottom sheet that will lay on a corner of said mattress nearest each of said darts, and connected to said top sheet by an elastic strip sewn to both sheets at said ends having said identical curvature, which elastic strip extends along said sheets' perimeter from one of said rounded corners to another of said rounded corners, and c. a second elastic strip sewn to the other end of said bottom sheet along said other end's rounded corners.
