Sheet Anchor Device

Abstract

A sheet anchor device is disclosed that keeps bedsheets from coming untucked at the foot of the bed. The sheet anchor device comprises a body component that is configured in approximately three sections of one-inch PVC pipe, along with two unions to join all the sections together and two endcaps at the ends. Depending on the size of the mattress, additional or less sections can be jointed together to form the body component, as needed. Further, the body component comprises approximately eight clamps which secure to the PVC pipe and clamp onto a bottom end of the sheet. The body component is then tucked under the mattress, such that the body component sits between the top mattress and the box spring, acting as an anchor and preventing the sheet from becoming untucked easily and staying tight through the night.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sheet anchor device that provides a user with a means for securing a sheet to a bed, such that it does not become untucked, the sheet anchor device comprising:
 a body component; and   a plurality of clamps;   wherein the body component is configured into multiple sections which are releasably secured together to form one, continuous body component;   wherein the plurality of clamps attach to loops which are slid onto the body component in an equally spaced fashion;   wherein the plurality of clamps are attached to a top sheet; and   further wherein the body component is tucked under a mattress and acts as an anchor to prevent the top sheet from becoming untucked.   
     
     
         2 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet anchor device is applied to a bed that includes a mattress on top of a box spring, wherein the mattress is covered by a fitted sheet, which is then covered by a top sheet. 
     
     
         3 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 2 , wherein the body component is configured in approximately three sections of one-inch PVC pipe. 
     
     
         4 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 3 , wherein the three sections comprise one 30-inch section, and two 20-inch sections. 
     
     
         5 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 4 , wherein the three sections are secured together via two unions, with one union positioned between two of the three sections to join all three sections together into one long pipe. 
     
     
         6 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 2 , wherein the body component comprises one, continuous pipe that spans a width of the mattress in use. 
     
     
         7 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 2 , wherein the body component comprises two sections with one section being a one-inch PVC pipe and a second section being approximately a ⅞-inch PVC pipe. 
     
     
         8 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 7 , wherein the two sections are secured together via a slip joint, which allows the one-inch pipe to telescope within the ⅞-inch pipe. 
     
     
         9 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 5 , wherein there are approximately eight clamps secured to the body component in a spaced apart fashion. 
     
     
         10 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 9 , wherein the approximately eight clamps are attached to a one-inch wide and 4-5-inch long elastic webbing, which is sewn together to form a loop, which are slid onto the body component in an equally spaced fashion. 
     
     
         11 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 10 , wherein once the loops are slid onto the body component, each end of the body component is secured with an endcap to prevent the loops from coming off the body component. 
     
     
         12 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 11 , wherein each of the eight clamps comprise a grip material which helps to secure the top sheet within the eight clamps, preventing the top sheet from being pulled out of the eight clamp during use. 
     
     
         13 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 12 , wherein the eight clamps on the body component are attached to a bottom edge of the top sheet. 
     
     
         14 . A sheet anchor device that provides a user with a means for securing a sheet to a bed, such that it does not become untucked, the sheet anchor device comprising:
 a body component configured in approximately three sections of one-inch PVC pipe; and   approximately eight clamps secured to the body component in a spaced apart fashion;   wherein the three sections comprise one 30-inch section, and two 20-inch sections;   wherein the three sections are secured together via two unions, with one union positioned between two of the three sections to join all three sections together into one long pipe;   wherein the approximate eight clamps are attached to a one-inch wide and 4-5-inch long elastic webbing, which is sewn together to form a loop, which are slid onto the body component in an equally spaced fashion;   wherein once the loops are slid onto the body component, each end of the body component is secured with an endcap to prevent the loops from coming off the body component;   wherein the approximate eight clamps on the body component are attached to a bottom edge of the top sheet; and   wherein the body component is tucked under a mattress, such that the body component sits between the mattress and a box spring, acting as an anchor and preventing the top sheet from becoming untucked.   
     
     
         15 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 14 , wherein the body component comprises two sections with one section being a one-inch PVC pipe and a second section being approximately a ⅞-inch PVC pipe. 
     
     
         16 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 15 , wherein the two sections are secured together via a slip joint, which allows the one-inch pipe to telescope within the ⅞-inch pipe. 
     
     
         17 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 14 , wherein each of the eight clamps comprise a grip material which helps to secure the top sheet within the eight clamps, preventing the top sheet from being pulled out of the eight clamp during use. 
     
     
         18 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 14 , wherein in use, a user grasps one of the eight clamps and presses down, opening jaws of the clamp and inserting a bottom edge of the top sheet is inserted into the jaws, which are then released, securing the top sheet in place within the clamp. 
     
     
         19 . The sheet anchor device of  claim 14  further comprising a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         20 . A method of securing a top sheet on a mattress for use while sleeping, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a sheet anchor device comprising a body component configured as three sections of one-inch PVC pipe;   securing the sections together via unions and inserting endcaps at the PVC pipe ends;   
       sliding loops with clamps around the body component in an equally spaced fashion;
 clamping the clamps to a bottom edge of a top sheet; and 
 tucking the body component under a top mattress and above a box spring, thus creating an anchor and preventing the top sheet from becoming untucked.
