|CD55 is expressed on erythrocytes but is low on NK cells. CD55 is widely expressed on cells through out the body and on all cells in contact with serum, including all hematopoietic cells and the vascular endothelium. It is widely expressed on epithelia in the gastointestinal and genitourinary tracts and the central nervous system. A soluble form of CD55 is present in plasma and body fluids. CD55 is expressed on various tumors, breast, colon and stomach.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the regulators of complement activation gene family.
CD55 is a single-pass GPI-anchored 376 aa glycoprotein. It contains an extracellular domain which contains 4 N-terminal complement control protein (CCP) domains, also known as short consensus repeat (SCR) domains. The extracellular domain is heavily glycosylated but there is 1 N-linked glycosylation site at the C-terminal end of SCR1. C3b/C4b binding and regulatory activity is found in SCR2,3,4 but not in SCR1. SCR1 is not required for complement regulatory function. Several novel forms of CD55 have been reported. DAF-A, a 63 kDa, and DAF-B, 55 kDa. DAF-A lacks the GPI anchor and is secreted, whereas DAF-V is the membrane anchored form. Both isoforms can be further modified by varying glycosylation patterns. The difference in molecular weight between CD55 found on human erythrocytes and that of lymphocytes is due to glycosylation differences. DAF-U1, a 55-65 kDa, and DAF-U2, a 60-80 kDa, have been isolated from urine. DAF-U2 is thought to be inactive. There have been found 2 forms found in tears, a 70 kDa and 100 kDa form. A dimeric form but not disulfide bonded has been isolated from human erythrocytes. CD55 expressed on a Chinese hamster ovary cell line defective in O-glycosylation is rapidly degraded, suggesting that the carbohydrate structures serve to protect CD55 from proteolysis. The glycoprotein is GPI-anchored at Ser319. A minor form of CD55 mRNA arises from alternate splicing of an additional exon, but a corresponding protein has not been identified. A co-valently linked homodimeric form has been described.
Alternatively splicing yields 2 different isoforms expressed as DAF-A and DAF-B.
CD55 has a heavily glycosylated membrane-proximal extracellular sequence and has 1 N-linked glycosylation site at the carboxy terminal end of SCR with formation of a GPI-anchor.
|CD55 interacts with complement components and CD97 and a 7-transmembrane domain protein which also contains 3 extracellular EGF domains.
|CD55 is a member of the regulator of complement activation (RCA) family of proteins (see CD35). CD55 protects against inappropriate complement activation and disposition on plasma membrane by binding C3b and C4b to inhibit C3 convertase formation, and by limiting formation and half-life of the C3 convertases. It accelerates the dissociation of the components of the C3-convertases, namely C2a from C4b in the C4b2a complex, a C3-convertase of the classical pathway, and factor Bb from the C3bBb complex, a C3-convertase of the alternative pathway. CD55 expression increases upon T cell activation and antibodies to CD55 are mitogenic in the presence of phorbol esters. CD55 and the 2 other complement regulatory proteins, CD46 and CD59, have received much attention in their role in reproduction and xenotransplantation (see CD46). CD55 has been implicated as a ligand or protective molecule in fertilization by protecting sperm from complement deposition in the female reproductive system. Crosslinking CD55, as for many GPI-anchored molecules, induces signal transduction. This has been studied in T cell activation, where protein tyrosine kinases are activated. CD55 expression on NK cells or their targets has been associated with reduced efficiency of cell lysis.
CD55 binds C3b and C4b to inhibit formation of the C3 convertases and binds C3bBb, an alternative pathway convertase, and C4b2a, a classical pathway convertase, to accelerate decay of the C3 convertases. Functions with human complement are much more efficient than complement of other species hence, are commonly said to show homologous restriction.
Genetic defects in the CD55 gene or GPI-anchor attachment cause reduction or loss of CD55 and CD59 on erythrocytes, and thus symptoms of the disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). While CD55 does have an important role in protection of erythrocytes from homologous complement lysis, these cells can survive without it. Individuals with the Inab phenotype express no CD55 but do express CD59. However, they do not suffer overt erythrocyte hemolysis. CD55 deficiencies are found in psoriatic skin lesions. Expression may be related to tumorigenesis. The 10 Cromer blood group antigens are located on CD55, including a null allele generated by a premature stop codon and aa substitutions in SCR3 for Dr-a and in SCR4 for Cr(a-). Some soluble CD55 is found in plasma and secretions. The concentrations are not expected to provide significant effects but microenvironment concentrations may be effective. HIV and HIV-infected cells are resistant to complement deposition, due to protective associations with CD55 and factor H. CMV incorporates CD55 into the membrane. CD55 transgenic pigs are being assessed as possible xenograft organ donors. CD55 is a possible target for tumor therapy and has a potential use in xenotransplantation to protect against inappropriate complement activation. CD55 also served as a receptor for CD97 for coxsackie B viruses, echoviruses, enterovirus and E. coli Dr-adhesins.
|The mouse has 2 genes for CD55, 1 codes for a GPI-anchored protein and the 2nd for a transmembrane protein. Analysis of mRNA expression showed that the GPI-anchored form is detected in most tissues, whereas the transmembrane form is highly expressed in the testes, and is also detected in bone marrow, lymph nodes, lung and liver. CD55 expressed on mouse erythrocytes is resistant to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment whereas CD55 on the surface of spleen and PBMCs is removed by phospholipase C, suggesting that the 2 forms of CD55 are expressed on different cell types. This is another example of the lack of conservation between species of genes in the RCA complex (see CD35).
PROTEINS AND DNA ELEMENTS WHICH REGULATE TRANSCRIPTION OF CD55: No information.
SUBSTRATES: No information.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD55: No information.
CD55 is a key molecule that protects cells against inappropriate complement activation, especially evident in PNH and classical pathway activation, and as such is being utilized in transgenic animals for xenotransplantation studies. The relevance of the T cell signal transduction studies to physiological functions of the molecule is not clear. The multiple receptor functions for microorganisms are intriguing. The associations of NK target lysis and CD55 expression may be important to NK mechanisms of killing.

Following the success of its highly coveted press-on nail collaboration with MAC Cosmetics last summer, Ruffian is taking the concept a step further with a three-piece nail polish collection that will launch at BirchBox this September. This is the first time BirchBox, a monthly beauty subscription service is collaborating with a designer to introduce a new line of products.
The company is asking its Facebook fans to help choose the three colors that will make up the final collection by voting for their favorites. Ruffian is also on the hunt for retailers across the country to stock the new nail polish colors in their brick-and-mortar stores so fans of the label can shop the line if they aren't BirchBox subscribers.

i hope you remember to bring the flowers.the stars whispered lateone nightas we lay beneath theirgrandeur."what if i die today?" you asked.and i told you in that case,i'd see you by tomorrow.
midnights always last longer than they should.i spend sleepless nights in my roomstaring at your picture on my mirrorand wondering why on earth someone as beautiful as youwould ever love someone like me,but then i rememberyou don't.
how to love a boy who is lost.falllike you're jumping from a cliffinto a thrashing sea whose waters you cannot tread,dive into their depths and fill your lungs with waves.just don't close your eyes,because you have to search for him.feel your weight drag you to the bottom,feel the ocean embrace youand don't be afraid of that pounding in your chest.each heartbeat is sonara signal calling him and his calling you.learn to swim nowif you drown you cannot save him.swim to the fallen cities,the submerged castlesand maritime gardens.there you'll find him,lost in thought and studying the fish.i hope you saved some oxygenso you can breathe during the kiss.

5:17 AMand it's sad to thinkthat if you came backto tear me apartagain,i'd let you.
meadows.you only ever picked dead flowersbecause you wanted to leave the living onesfor others to admire...i guess that's why you chose meover everyone else.
where do you fall when you fall in love?i see my voice curl toward the sky in crystal breathsas i stand beneath the stars and ask the gods"where do you fall when you fall in love?"and in the distant thunder roars as zeus clears his throat.lightening strikes to start a fireand in anticipation i sit by the flames as he begins his story."love," he says, "is the beautiful medicationthat we drink to still our pain,but often it is overdosedand we always end up crashinglike a star falling from my sky."as i watch the shadows dance about his faceaphrodite proudly walks to uswith her golden grace and emerald eyes."there's a kingdom," she says with ivory verse, "just below the seaand it awaits young lovers therewhere they drown for all eternity."at the mention of the sea, poseidon falls down to usfrom his chariot atop the cliff and in his booming voice he declares;"and in that cavern the butterflies are drenchedand with heavy wings they cannot flyso they suffocate the lovers."with the quietest gait of a clumsy fox

Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, June 04, 2011, 11:57Master
It's normal to have moisture in the exhaust, especially when the engine is warming up. If you see white smoke from the exhaust, then this could mean a leaking head gasket.
A leaking reservoir could conceivably cause the engine to run hot and boil over, but I suspect the head gasket is leaking.
I would have the cooling system checked for the presence of hydrocarbons (indicating a blown head gasket)
Good Luck
Answer #2StrictlyEuro from Strictly European Autowerks, July 11, 2012, 06:57Enthusiast
Im in agreement with Bret I would suspect a blown head gasket. Replace the resorvoir and cap and if it still pushes coolant out and/or overheats start looking toward a head gasket replacement.

When Seymour and Esther Fischgrund founded Fish Furniture in 1925, the couple personally stained, painted, and housebroke each piece before sending it home with a customer. Today, Fish Furniture operates a bit more efficiently, but with the same attention to detail and quality. In the eight-plus decades since opening, the business has grown from 2 employees to 70. It features a pair of 40,000-square-foot show rooms, inside of which sit upholstery, bedroom sets, and office trimmings bearing solid-wood construction and the names of well-known manufacturers. Outside the show rooms, Fish's staff travels to homes to provide interior-design advice, and its courtesy touchups mend scuffs and scrapes in a more fashionable manner than haphazardly placed band-aids.

I thought of this with all the new attention paid towards the gun control debate.
1. Say we make guns more expensive to obtain. Perhaps we tax guns, or limit their supply, increasing the firearm's price. We also tax bullets, increasing their price. Increase the amount of paperwork and regulations that a firearm dealer must comply with, so that it increases their expenses, and thus prices. Firearms and their accessories are now more expensive.
Now, the distribution of goods and services in the economy is based on willingness and ability to pay. If you can't afford it, you don't buy it. If you aren't willing to buy it, you don't buy it.
Now, we have made firearms and their accessories more expensive. Those that will be capable of purchasing them are those that are most capable of paying--those that are wealthier. Certainly, the poor would have much greater difficulty purchsing firearms.
So, now those that are wealtheir are the most well-armed, and we have increased their power.
2. There is a full ban on weapons. The government is the only entity capable of owning and using firearms legally.
Many ITF would say the government is bought and sold by corporations/the wealthy.
In banning guns and concentrating sole ownership to the government, haven't we really just provided a powerful tool for the wealthy? They have this monopoly on force over the rest of us?
EDIT: Assume that these control measures work as stated.
Gun control makes the wealthy more powerful.

Classic Tried-and-True Boots
Brendan Casey
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The M3's are some killer boots. Nothing fancy or super hi-tech, very plain, sturdy construction that can take serious abuse. As far as fit goes I got a size 13 and they feel great when you are moving around but if you are stationary for a while they begin to feel a bit narrow. Maybe they just need more time to break in. I am happy with what I got, I know these boots will last me a long time.

COLUMBIA - As an early season practice begins, Hickman volleyball coach Greg Gunn watches his team run laps around the school's football field. The laps aren't timed, but Gunn seems pleased with the team's hustle. He shouts encouragement and jokes with his assistant about how the players speed up as they pass the coaches. Considering where Gunn says the team was a month ago physically, he has reason for starting practice with grunt work.

Quick And Easy Pot BrowniesThis is the method I use to make pot brownies. I know there are more involved ways to do this, but this method has worked for me every time. It is expensive, so I usually get together with my brothers and do this for a special occasion.
1/2 oz. pot
1 stick butter or margarine
1 box of your favorite brownie mix (for a 13"x9" pan)
Eggs, water, and oil that the above mix calls for
First, smoke some weed, because it is fun to cook when you are high. Then grind or chop the pot into tiny pieces. Go ahead and include stems and any seeds you may have. They add nice texture. Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Saute the pot over medium heat for about 10 minutes. It will smell SOOOO good. Set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the rest. Follow the directions on the brownie mix box. Then stir in the cooked pot. Spread the batter into a 13"x9" baking pan, and bake according to package directions. Let them cool, and then cut. When we do this we cut them into 8 pieces. We have found that brownies of this size gave us the perfect high. If you get the munchies, DON'T EAT ANOTHER BROWNIE! My brother did once and spent the rest of the night on the couch like a spaced out zombie. (which was quite entertaining for the rest of us).
I hope you try this and enjoy!
Thanks for the recipe. We'll give it a try.
Sound like trouble to me... blitzed for the rest of the day!

One thing a lot of people don't know is that if you vaporize your pot, then it's already "activated" and then you don't need to make budder. Add the post-vaped weed directly in with the brownie batter and it still gets you high. I had a friend a while back use 2 ounces of post-vape that he had saved up in one batch of brownies. They were extremely potent. I had one and a half and I had a body high for almost 2 days lol.
you're welcome :)
I find that the Bakers of the community make the most amount of friends!
I think I'm gonna cook this.....but I have a few changes, I'll leave out the following ingredients..........

1 stick butter or margarine

1 box of your favorite brownie mix (for a 13"x9" pan)

Eggs, water, and oil that the above mix calls for
Ohhh...yupp you do, i forgot about that one.....That's perfect, for you for sure..lol
I think I may have to try this. :)
Go to Sam's club and get some Ghirardelli Dark chocolate morsels that are the 68% cocoa. Add in a cup of that and increase the water by 1.5 cups add 1/2 cup cream cheese. THC is fat soluble so the butter and the other choco plus the cream cheese are part of the transport.

You do not need to saute the pot. However to those of you who might know growers, buy their primaries (lowest shake) don't not smoke this ****, but soak it in either isopropyl alcohol , though vodka might work and be easier to find. I used to do this with hundreds of pounds and 55 gallon drums with a special distiller on top to recover the alcohol to make oil.

But a pound or two of shake with a gallon of vodka and a pressure cooker which you rig a copper tube to the vent top and build a water bath coil will do the trick.

Warm the vodka and put some shake in large pan push up and down strain through a colander lined with cheese cloth, put the "tea" into the pressure cooker and low heat I forget alcohol's boil point but near 140F do not go too fast or you will lose it and not be able to recover.

Cook this down until you have a thick soup. Pour this into a 'brand new' non-stick pan and boil off the rest of the alcohol until you have just pure oil. Try just a teaspoon, make that 1/4 teaspoon in your brownies.

Way more work, but you only need a drop of well made oil to understand how crappy shake can be reborn.

Thus endeth the lesson.
back in the day you could make a company name order 55 gallon drums of 95% isopropyl...but thc is soluble in alcohol but needs heat to take the precursor into THC
I dont know how you can fit all those ingredients into a half-ounce pot

No I really dont, I just cant resist the opportunity for a little irony and silvery :)

Prediction time for 2013
Graham Jenkins
December 31, 2012
What will 2013 bring for Joe Launchbury, Jonny Wilkinson, Brett Gosper and the Heineken Cup © Getty Images
Another New Year is almost upon us and so it is time for us to dust off the ESPNscrum crystal ball for our traditional round of predictions for the 12 months ahead.
We set about the task with renewed relish having been scarily accurate this time last year. We successfully predicted Wales' Six Nations success, Warren Gatland's appointment as Lions boss, some headline-grabbing claims in Graham Henry's autobiography, a re-vamp of the Television Match Official powers, an eye-catching Rugby Championship bow for Argentina and All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw's decision to activate the sabbatical clause in his contract this time last year.
However, we also thought Nick Mallett would get the England job, the Melbourne Rebels would rip it up on the Super Rugby stage and Saracens would claim the Premiership crown so we clearly have some work to do.
So, what does the rugby world hold for us all in 2013?
Olympics blueprint blooper
England claim Six Nations title
The SBW show rolls on
Lions look to England
Heineken Cup refreshes Euro row
No place like home for Sarries
Sevens serves up a treat
'Ref cam' a revelation
Wallabies claim series victory over Lions
Gosper insists it is good to talk
Pumas pack a punch
WRU's generosity knows no bounds

Arvind Kejriwal's denigration of the Congress and the BJP is unlikely to cease after government formation in Delhi. As chief minister, he'll take credit for the promises delivered, blaming un-kept assurances on the paucity of numbers and a recalcitrant Opposition.
The capital's post-electoral political scenario affords Kejriwal that unprecedented leeway. It's either him or deluge.
An alternative arrangement being a near-impossibility in the fractured House, he would be, till the equation lasts, the CM and the Leader of Opposition rolled into one.
Read: Nothing unethical about forming govt in Delhi with Cong, says Kejriwal
Read: We will perform in Delhi, says Kejriwal
Heads he would win and tails the BJP and the Congress would lose.
The regime's longevity would depend on his rivals' appetite for ignominy. They would be called names and when reluctant to play ball with the ruling party, they would be accused of conspiring to destabilise the aam admi's sarkar.
Amid all-round cynicism and distrust of the old political order, the destabilisation theory could stick in the backdrop of threatened anti-graft investigations against ousted Congressmen and incumbent BJP dispensations in municipal corporations.
Read: Congress and BJP must change or perish, says upbeat Kejriwal
Read: How will AAP nail the corrupt in Congress?
Kejriwal and his associates have also let it be known that they would agitate when they are unable to legislate. A case in point: the AAP's threat to protest at the Rajpath if the UPA-ruled Centre does not accord full statehood to Delhi.
Their formulations on the statehood question could be a replay of the fait accompli the Anna Hazare-led agitation had offered Parliament on the Jan Lokpal issue. That kind of a "my way or the highway" approach to the sticky issue could be the final straw.
Why? Delhi is home to not one but two regimes. It's this dichotomy that explains the complicated separation of powers denying full statehood to the national capital.
The issue cannot be settled in the limited time frame available between now and the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. It would be realistic to pursue the matter after the installation of a new regime at the Centre.
An absolutist stance on the subject would show the protagonists as immature and unreasonable.
Read: AAP-Cong rule in Delhi promises to be a short and stormy affair
Read: AAP govt may not last long, says Prashant Bhushan
Read: AAP banks on anti-corruption plank to go national
It will be sagacious, therefore, for the ruling dispensation to backload the full statehood promise to take up other, more aspirational issues such as cuts in the prevailing power tariff and supply of free drinking water.
Brinkmanship on cumbersome questions such as full statehood will be the AAP's only option if it fails to fulfil the promise of free water and cheap power. Much would also depend on how much derision and humiliation the Congress is willing to endure.
Forget the denouement. A spectacle it's going to be as Kejriwal uses attrition to look attractive.

A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Disposable fitted sheets and method for making them. The sheets are formed without necessitating prior cutting by folding edges of the material and attaching the folded-over edges along diagonal lines associated with each corner. Elastic bands cooperate with each pocket to maintain the fit on the corners of the mattress. The bands are fastened in a stretched condition to the folded-over edges while the sheet is in a flat state. The process of the invention is particularly adapted to continuously forming such sheets which may be formed from a variety of inexpensive materials. Sheets of the invention are particularly useful in hospitals and nursing homes where frequent bedding changes may be needed.
1. An improved fitted mattress covering (1) fabricated from flexible material having a rectangular central portion (3); a pair of opposed side panels (5), each having interior and exterior edges (11 and 9, respectively); at least one end panel (7) having interior and exterior edges (15 and 13, respectively), the side panels and end panel being of substantially the same width, each of the side panels being folded over along the interior edge (11) thereof in facing contact with a common means (19) for attaching each side panel to at least one end panel along a line extending diagonally from the exterior edge of the side panel where it meets the exterior edge (13) of the end panel (7) to a point on the interior edge (11) of the side panel coincident with the interior edge (15) of the end panel (7); wherein the improvement comprises:
at least one pair of elastic bands (23) having been attached in a stretched condition and in cooperation with the attached end panel, each band (23) having a first end (27) located on a respective side panel (5) adjacent the exterior edge (9) thereof and coincident with the attachment line (17), each band having a second end (25) located adjacent the exterior edge (9) of the respective side panel (5) between the interior edge (15) of the end panel (7) and the mid-point of the side panel (5); and
fastening means for fastening each band (23) to a respective side panel (5), so that the elastic bands (23) are adapted when the fitted covering is in the operative position to pass diagonally under respective corners of the mattress to aid in maintaining proper fit.
2. The fitted covering of claim 1 wherein the attachment means and the fastening means are adhesives.
3. The fitted covering of claim 1 wherein the flexible material and the elastic bands are heat sealable.
4. The fitted covering of claim 1 wherein the flexible material has two end panels, each side panel being attached to both end panels; and wherein two pairs of elastic bands are fastened to the side panels in cooperation with the end panels.
5. The fitted covering of claim 4 wherein a triangular piece of material formed by the attachment line is removed from each corner.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to coverings for mattresses, and more particularly to sheets with fitted covers in combination with elastic means to aid in maintaining the fit of the corners on the mattress. The invention especially pertains to disposable sheets with their attendant advantages and benefits.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Fitted sheets are well-known. One type consists of sheets which are restrained from moving relative to the mattress only by the fitted corners, as exemplified by Ford et al U.S. Pat. No. 2,695,414. A second type combines fitted corners with elastic means of various kinds to assist holding the sheet in place. An example of this type is Cobb U.S. Pat. No. 3,114,156. A third type consists of those sheets in which the elastic properties of the sheet material itself are used to maintain a proper fit, such as described in May U.S. Pat. No. 2,942,280.
Fitted sheets may also be divided by the method of their manufacture. One group contains those manufactured by cutting the base material into individual blanks of the size and shape required to suit the corner design and then properly attaching the previously cut edges to form the corners. Black U.S. Pat. No. 2,569,627 illustrates a sheet manufactured in this manner. A second group contains sheets which can be fabricated without cutting the sheet material prior to forming the corners. An example is Hrubecky et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,321,782. Sheets made according to the second group are readily adapted to a method of continuous manufacture from rolls of material.
Fitted sheets may be considered as reusable or disposable. Disposable sheets are attractive for use in hospitals and nursing homes. To qualify for disposable use, sheets must be low in cost. They are preferably manufactured by a continuous process, because that process is normally higher in volume and therefore less expensive than manufacturing sheets from individual blanks.
Disposable sheets require the use of inexpensive materials such as paper tissue or nonwoven webs of synthetic polymers such as polypropylene. These materials are comfortable, easy to use, and commercially available in rolls suitable for continuous methods of manufacture. Materials which are inherently elastic are usually too expensive for use as disposable sheet base material.
Corner pockets are readily formed in sheets of tissue or nonwoven polymers by well known methods, which may vary with the particular materials. Unfortunately, these materials, especially the polymers, tend to be slippery when utilized as bed sheets. Even with pockets formed in the four corners, the sheets tend to slide out of position during use.
The invention relates to a fitted sheet structure that is especially suitable for a disposable sheet and which includes elastic means to aid in maintaining the fit of the sheet on the mattress. The sheet includes corner pockets which are formed without prior cutting of the sheet material by folding over the edges of the material and attaching the folded-over edges to the underlying material along diagonal lines associated with each corner. An elastic band cooperates with each pocket to aid in maintaining the fit of the corners on the mattress. The bands are fastened in a stretched condition, without prior cutting of the base material, to the folded-over and attached edges at predetermined fastening points while the sheet is in a flat state. When placed in position on the mattress, the elastic bands pass diagonally under respective corners of the mattress. The sheet may be advantageously manufactured by a continuous process from a web of material, but the invention is not limited to fitted sheets made on a continuous basis. The method used to attach the base material to itself may vary with the material, as may the elastic band material and method of fastening the bands.

FIG. 7 is a schematic elevational illustration of an apparatus for continuously fabricating sheets from a web of heat sealable material.
Referring to FIG. 1, reference number 1 indicates a blank of flexible base material from which the sheet comprising the present invention may be fabricated. Suitable materials include woven textiles and disposable materials such as nonwoven webs, plastic film reinforced paper, and various types of plastic film. An especially suitable material is a nonwoven polypropylene web such as that marketed by Kimberly-Clark Corporation under the trademark "EVOLUTION". The invention is not limited to the specific type of material. The sheet comprises a rectangular central portion 3, a pair of opposed side panels 5, and a pair of opposed end panels 7. Each side panel is bounded by an exterior edge 9 and an interior edge 11. Each end panel is bounded by an exterior edge 13 and an interior edge 15. The central portion is intended to cover the top portion of a mattress, and the side and end panels are intended to cover respective sides and ends of the mattress.
To form corner pockets, each side panel is folded over along interior edge 11 so the side panels attain facing contact with respective common face portions of the underlying central portion, as shown in FIG. 2. Each side panel is attached to at least one end panel when the sheet is to be used as a top sheet; if the sheet is to be used as a bottom sheet, each side panel is attached to both end panels. Attachment occurs along diagonal lines 17 which extend from the intersections of edges 9 and 13 to the points where edges 11 coincide with edges 15. The drawings show the attachment lines to be positioned at a 45� angle to edges 13, but the attachment lines may be positioned at angles from about 30� to 60� without detracting from the utility of the corner pockets.
The nature of attachment lines 17 may differ according to the type of sheet material. For example, a sheet made from a woven textile may be sewn. Sheets formed from a thermoplastic nonwoven web such as fibrous polyproylene may be suitably attached by the application of heat and pressure. A base material of plastic film is preferably attached with hot melt adhesives.
If the sheet is to be fabricated from material which is attachable to itself by sewing or heat sealing, the side panels are folded over onto the central portion and end panels prior to attachment, as described above. If the sheet is made from a material which requires an adhesive, a modified procedure is required. Lines of adhesive are applied to at least one pair of corners of the unfolded blank of FIG. 1, as indicated by lines 19. The adhesive lines extend diagonally from the corners to the intersection of edges 11 and 15. Alternatively, adhesive may be applied along lines 21 extending from the intersection of edges 11 and 15 toward edge 13 in mirror images of lines 19. Side panels 5 are subsequently folded over along edge 11, and the panels are firmly pressed onto the underlying end panels along the adhesive lines to create permanent bonds.
Pairs of elastic bands 23 for aiding in maintaining proper fit of the pockets are fastened to the folded-over and attached side panels in cooperation with the attachment lines. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two pairs of bands are employed for a bottom sheet. The material comprising the bands and the method of fastening them to the sheet may vary with the sheet material. Sheet materials, such as polyethylene film, that are compatible with adhesives may employ bands of natural rubber fastened with a hot melt adhesive. A heat sealable base material such as a polypropylene web may use bands which are heat sealable; an illustrative heat sealable band material is a polymer sold under the trademark "TUFTANE". Bands used with woven textile sheets may be fastened by sewing. The bands are fastened in a stretched condition, preferably adjacent the edges 9, as shown in FIG. 2 inner end 25 of each band is fastened between the interior and exterior edges of the associated end panel with the preferred fastening point located coincident with the attachement line 17. Outer end 27 of each band is fastened to the same side panel as end 25 at a distance from edge 13 greater than the width of end panel 7.
It will be appreciated that the distance between ends 25 and 27 is less when the sheet is operatively placed over the mattress, as shown in FIG. 3, than when the sheet is in the flat state during the manufacturing process, FIG. 2. To function properly, the bands 23 must be stretched sufficiently during manufacture to allow a residual tension when the sheet is in use. The relative tension between the initial and operative states depends on the properties of the elastic material and the length of the bands. To minimize the initial tension while permitting sufficient residual tension, it is desirable to employ bands that are as long as practical and to use a "stretchy" material, i.e., material with a high elongation per unit length. The choice of elastic material may be restricted by compatibility with the sheet material; if so, the length of the bands takes on added importance. The limiting fastening point for ends 27 is the mid-point of edges 9. To keep the cost of the completed sheet to a minimum, shorter bands are preferred.
To cover the mattress, the sheet is placed on the mattress with the folded side panels underlying the central portion 3. In this condition the elastic bands are in a relaxed state, and the end panels 7 are also folded under the central portion. An elastic band is pulled downward along the corner of the mattress and then tucked diagonally under the mattress corner. Simultaneously, the folded-under side and end panels adjacent the corner will unfold so as to cover the sides and ends of the mattress in the region of that corner. The other bands are similarly positioned under the respective mattress corners. The fitted sheet thus assumes a position of utility in which it is restrained securely in place.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the construction of the fitted sheet by means of attachment lines 17 results in the formation of a triangular flap 29 of excess material at each corner. If considered objectionable, the flaps may be easily removed by cutting the sheet along lines parallel to the attachment lines 17 but displaced therefrom a small distance toward the intersection of edges 11 and 13. Under some conditions, as for example with a heat sealable base material, flaps 29 may be removed simultaneously with the forming of the attachment lines by use of suitable hot knives of conventional construction. The result is a fitted sheet possessing an especially neat appearance.
The fitted sheet may be advantageously manufactured in a continuous manner. Flexible base material may be supplied as a continuous web 31 from a supply roll 33 by means of feed rolls 35, as shown schematically in FIG. 4. The method of forming the corner pockets will vary with the type of sheet material. For a material most suitably attached to itself with adhesive, pairs of lines of adhesive are applied to the web at predetermined spaced intervals corresponding to the length of a mattress plus twice its depth. The adhesive lines are shaped as V's of predetermined height, as represented by reference numerals 49 of FIG. 5, with the points of V's lying on the exterior edges 34 of the web. The height of the V's 49 corresponds to the depth of the mattress. Alternatively, adhesive may be deposited as V's 51 which point toward the center of the web in mirror images of V's 49. Adhesive may be applied by a pair of applicators 37 which reciprocate normal to the direction of web motion, as indicated by arrows 39, FIG. 5. The relative longitudinal motion of the web and transverse motion of the applicator result in the formation of lines 49 and 51. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other apparatus for applying adhesive, such as print rolls, may be employed. After the adhesive is deposited, a conventional folding horn 47 is used to fold over the edges of the web onto the underlying portion so the fold lines pass through the tops of the V's 49 or 51. The folded-over edges are then pressed firmly to the web as by a pressure nip formed by rolls 52, thus forming attachment lines 57.
If the base material is not compatible with adhesives, a different procedure than the foregoing may be followed. The continuous web 31 is first folded over using a conventional folding horn 47 along fold lines 53 which are parallel to outer edges 34. The folded edges are then attached to the underlying web along attachment lines shaped as pairs of V's 57 with the points of the V's located at the fold lines 53. In the case of sheets made from woven textiles, attachment may occur by sewing. A polypropylene web preferably has the attachment lines created by applying heat and pressure in a manner more fully explained hereinafter.
Subsequently, stretched elastic bands 23 are fastened to the folded and attached edges. Each band is preferably fastened adjacent an edge 34. The outer ends are fastened to points 59 which are symmetrically located about the points of attachment V's 57. The span between the two outside ends is greater than the width of the V and less than the length of the sheet, as shown in FIG. 6. The bands are also fastened at two intermediate points 61 located symmetrically about the points of the V's with a span less than the width of the V. Preferably, the intermediate points 61 coincide with the respective legs of attachment lines 57.
Apparatus for fastening the bands depends on the sheet and band materials. For materials compatible with adhesives, apparatus similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,227,952 and schematically illustrated in FIG. 4 may be used. Adhesive is deposited from nozzles 58 onto two stretched elastic ribbons 60 which are supplied from supply rolls (not shown). Chain 62 carries a plurality of web support plates 64 which are arranged and spaced so as to form a substantially continuous supporting surface for the web, with small gaps 66 between them. As chain 62 traverses sprockets 68, the support plates 64 spread and form larger gaps 70. Chain 72 carries a plurality of tucker bars 74 which register with gaps 70 to push web 31 into gaps 70 to form folds 76 in the sheet material. The portions of the web which are folded into gaps 70 correspond with the portions between the outer fastening points 59. Hold-down belt 78 with pressure plate 81 firmly presses the elastic ribbons 60 to the web and maintains contact until the adhesive has set. Cut-off knife 83 is timed to sever the ribbons within the small gaps 70, but not the web. Draw rolls 84 withdraw the composite web and superimposed bands from the fastening apparatus, and the folds in the web are removed as the slack is taken out.
Different fastening apparatus is required for sheet and band materials that are not compatible with adhesives. For example, it is contemplated that bands used with a woven textile web would be most advantageously fastened by sewing at a sewing station. Apparatus for fastening the bands to a web of heat sealable material such as non-woven polypropylene may be of the form shown schematically in FIG. 7. Chains 62 and 72, together with web support plates 64 and tucker bars 74, may be employed as previously described. Two stretched elastic ribbons 60 and folded web 31 pass between support plates 64 and traveling heaters 85 carried by chain 89. Heaters 85 are spaced so as to coincide with fastening points 59 and 61 on the web. Thus, as the web and ribbons advance between the traveling heaters and support plates, the ribbons are fastened to the web at locations 59 and 61. The ribbons are subsequently cut by knife 83, and the combination of the web and bands is withdrawn by draw rolls 84.
The final step in the continuous method of manufacture is to cut the web and bands into individual sheets 73, which are shown schematically in the flat state. The cuts are made along transverse lines 63 connecting the points of V's 57, as shown in FIG. 6. The cutting of the web into individual sheets may be accomplished by flying knives 69 mounted on rolls 71, as schematically illustrated in FIG. 4.
It may be desirable to remove triangular sections 65 of excess material that are created at each corner. This is readily accomplished by cutting along lines 67, which are parallel to V's 57 but slightly displaced therefrom toward the fold lines. Cutting lines 67 may be performed simultaneously with cutting lines 63 by properly modifying the configuration of flying knives 69.
A web composed of a heat sealable material lends itself to a very efficient method of simultaneously forming attachment lines 57, removing triangular pieces 65, and severing the web and bands along lines 63. A hot knife 75 may be mounted to the periphery of a rotary drum 77, as diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 7. The hot knife is constructed in a configuration corresponding to lines 57, 63, and 67. As the web and ribbons pass between drum 77 and back-up roll 79, the attachment lines are formed and the web is cut along lines 63 and 67 concurrently without the necessity of separate attaching and cutting operations.
The finished sheets produced from the above continuous method are suitable for use as bottom sheets. The method can easily be modified to manufacture top sheets which include only two fitted corners with cooperating elastic bands per sheet. This is accomplished by doubling the space between the attachment V's 57 with the respective bands 23 while maintaining the spacing of the transverse cuts 63.
Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, an elasticized fitted mattress covering and method that fully satisfy the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
