Tool set for tucking bedsheets

Abstract

The bedsheet-tucking tool kit consists of at least one bed-mattress lifter and at least one bedsheet tucker. The lifter has a handle and an insertable portion, the distal end of which tapers in the direction away from the handle. A stopper provided between the handle and the tapered portion limits insertion of the lifter to a position in which the bedsheet can fall behind the inserted portion. At its bottom, the lifter has a flared wing-like portion that maintains stability of the lifter in the inserted position. In order to increase friction between the bottom of the lifter and the boxspring mattress, a small portion of the bottom surface of the lifter is coated with a thin rubber-like coating. This protects the lifter from popping out from the inserted position. The handle may be coated with a rubber film. The tucking tool is made in the form of a spade with a rounded knob-like handle and a flat tucker blade.

1 . A tool set for tucking bedsheets containing a mattress lifter and a tuck tool for tucking a flexible object into an interface between a first object and a second object, wherein the mattress lifter comprises an elongated body having a proximal end facing the side of the user and a distal end facing the flexible object, the mattress lifter having a handle on the proximal end, a tapered portion on the distal end, and a stopper in an intermediate position between the lifter handle and the tapered portion to limit the length of insertion of the tapered portion into the interface between the first object and the second object in order to expose the interface and prevent covering thereof with the flexible object, and wherein the tuck tool comprises a handle with a triangular blade that widens in the direction away from the tucker handle.
