A new quantum model with rational functions for the potential and effective mass is proposed in a stretchable region outside which both are constant. Starting from a generalized effective mass kinetic energy operator the matching and boundary conditions for the envelope wavefunctions are derived. It is shown that in a mapping to an auxiliary constant-mass Schrödinger picture one obtains one-period 'associated Lamé' well bounded by two δ-wells or δ-barriers depending on the values of the ordering parameter β. The results for bound states of this new solvable model are provided for a wide variation of the parameters.
