The invention is directed to a portable head support designed to fit in the interior of a carry-on article carried by a passenger. The device provides head support for those who prefer sleeping in a face-down position and comprises a base and a head support connected along at least one of their abutting edges by a mechanism which permits the angle between the base and head support to be adjusted by the user.

A support device for ergonomic support of a user's hand during operation of a hand-operated input device, such as a computer mouse. The device includes a left pad and a right pad, spaced apart by a hinge that enables the pads to fold into a closed configuration for transport or storage. The hinge may be a living hinge integrally formed with at least a portion of the left and right pads. The pads support the pisiform and trapezium regions of the heel of the hand, respectively, and are configured to slide on a work surface. The device may include a latching mechanism, such a magnetic latch, to releasably hold the device in the closed configuration when not in use.

An integrated storage pouch apparatus for a back support and thermal therapy device for supporting and applying thermal therapy to a user's back which includes a back support member having a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface configured to face and support a user's back, a thermal therapy storage compartment integrally formed between the first and second surfaces of the back support member and configured to store a thermal pack, first and second adjustable strap members coupled to opposite ends of the back support member, each of the first and second adjustable strap members are configured to wrap around a user's knee, wherein the back support member folds inside out to through the thermal therapy storage compartment to form a strap storage compartment configured to receive and store the first and second adjustable strap members. The combined back support and thermal therapy apparatus provides thermal therapy to the user, while at the same time using the user's knees to help support the user in a proper healthy posture, when sitting.

An arm support for blood pressure monitoring, including an adjustable-height stand with a number of legs that support an upwardly-extending post. An arm-supporting saddle is fixed in position at the top of the post. The saddle has an upper arm-support surface that is configured to support an arm of a user. The top of the post is adjustable in height relative to the legs, to allow the saddle to be positioned at an appropriate height such that the user's arm when supported by the saddle is in a horizontal position.

The apparatus is to provide lateral support for a person while a person is in a standing, or predominantly vertical position. The apparatus is portable, self-standing, and may be used in various locations where a person may need lateral support. The apparatus generally consists of a vertical member connected to a support base. The apparatus functions when a person's weight acts on the standing base plate of the apparatus which off-sets a lateral force applied by a person leaning on the apparatus's vertical member whereby the vertical member in turn provides lateral support to a person.

The invention relates to an adjustable and dismountable arm rest, to allow a person to rest their arms for extended periods of time, in order to provide the arm with stability when holding objects that require precision such as binoculars, photography cameras, video cameras or other equipment and/or accessories, of a determined weight which tires the arm while observing in inhospitable areas in order to capture the behaviour of a determined event, for example a flower opening, the behaviour of animals, inter alia. The arm rest according to the invention comprises only 5 elements that can be assembled and disassembled: a first vertical post and a second vertical post which are fixed temporarily at the upper end thereof to a first horizontal crossmember, and the lower end of both vertical posts is temporarily fixed to a second horizontal crossmember. The first and second horizontal crossmembers consist of a rectangular prismatic body, the widest section of which is arranged perpendicular to the vertical posts, and has, on each end, an assembly of perforations that pass through the thickness thereof, are at an equal distance from each other, and are coincident in terms of the number thereof. The first crossmember has two grooves in the centre, parallel to the length thereof, and the second horizontal crossmember has one groove in the centre, via which grooves a strap is inserted, which allows temporary fastening between the horizontal crossmembers when the support is assembled.

A traveler's personal arm rest device comprises a chest portion and a pair of shoulder straps configured to supportively maintain the chest portion against the anterior side of a wearer's torso. In an embodiment, the chest portion may be securely folded to define a tubular cavity sized to accommodate all of the wearer's arms therein so that such arms may be maintained and comfortably supported by way of the straps in a resting position that is in line with his or her own body. The disclosure may provide a wearer with increased comfort while seated in cramped modes of public transportation and further prevent passive aggressive and even assertive arguments with neighbors regarding available arm resting spaces. Elements enabling compact self-stowage when not in use, providing ergonomic support when worn, and permitting storage of personal belongings therein are also provided.

A hybrid seating cushion made up of a cushion base and a cushion insert. The cushion base has a seating surface in which a void in or extending through the cushion base is formed. A cushion insert such as an air bladder or fluid sack is positioned within the void. A lip or upper surface around an opening in the void overhangs at least a portion of the cushion insert, thereby minimizing the size and corresponding negative effects of a transition area where the base and the insert overlap.
