A suspension pillow 10 is provided with: a placement part 1; a pair of support parts 3 which stand at a prescribed interval from the placement part 1; a side frame 4 which is disposed between the pair of support parts 3; and a sheet-like pillow part 5, wherein the pillow part 5 is connected, at at least three points or continuously, to the pair of support parts 3 and the side frame 4, and the pillow part 5 is connected, at a position above the pair of support parts 3, to the side frame 4.
CHAIR, PRESSING DEVICE
The invention relates to a chair for accommodating a person. The chair includes an upper body section having an upper body contact surface adapted or adaptable to at least parts of a front of a torso or a rear of a torso of a person placed on the chair, and a lower body section having a lower body contact surface adapted or adaptable to at least parts of at least a front of a thigh of the person, wherein the upper body section and the lower body section are arranged or arrangeable and fixable in a position relative to each other such that the upper body contact surface and the lower body contact surface cause a hyperextension posture of the hip joint of the person with a predetermined hyperextension angle. By forming the hyperextension angle of the hip on the chair, shortening of the anterior thigh and hip muscles can be counteracted. Also disclosed are a pressing device for application to the human body, which is adapted for use on a chair and which includes one or more pressure units each having at least one pressure head adapted to apply local or point pressure at a predetermined pressure location on the body of a person accommodated on the chair, and a chair having such a pressing device.
Sleeping Assist Device for Airplane Passengers
A sleeping assist device for providing help for both obese and non-obese passengers to sleep while traveling on an airplane consists of a primary model for non-obese passengers and a second model for obese passengers. The primary device includes an adjustable length support tube that rests on the lap of the passenger during use. A face sleeping cushion is adjusted in height using a pair of tubes with a tube locking mechanism that can be locked to set the height. A pair of locking mechanisms are attached to a cushion support plate and allow the tilt angle of the face cushion to be adjusted. An adjustable length belt attached to the cushion support plate is used to hold the device securely using two airplane seat mounting brackets. A security ring is welded to the lower tube to prevent the device being used as a weapon by use of a steel wire cable that attaches to the security ring and to a second ring mounted to the passenger seat mounting frame.
The secondary device for obese passengers also includes an adjustable length support tube that rests on the lap of the passenger during use. A face sleeping cushion is adjusted in height using a locking mechanism that can be locks the position between the lower tube and a first bar. The first bar and a second bar connected to the cushion support plate are fixed in both angular and translational position by using a thumb screw to adjust cushion tilt and a locking mechanism to adjust the translation of the second bar. An adjustable length belt attached to the cushion support plate is used to hold the device securely using two airplane seat mounting brackets. A security ring is welded to the lower tube to prevent the device being used as a weapon by use of a steel wire cable that attaches to the security ring and to a second ring mounted to the passenger seat mounting frame.
Portable head support
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.

Shaped body for supporting a human head
The present disclosure relates to shaped body for receiving a skull on a support plane, wherein the shaped body is substantially ring-shaped, and wherein at least in one subregion, the contour of the cross section of the shaped body has a half ellipse inclined with respect to the support plane, and wherein at least in one subregion, the contour of the cross section of the shaped body is asymmetrical.
Face cushion
A face cushion includes a hollow-out portion located at a central portion of the face cushion; an inflatable portion having an inner peripheral edge located adjacent to the hollow-out portion, an outer peripheral edge, and two slit edges located between the inner and the outer peripheral edge, with an area between the inner and the outer peripheral edge being divided into a first and a second air bag; a slit section formed between the two slit edges; and a plurality of inflating connections separately connected to the first and the second air bag. The first and the second air bag are inflated alternately with gas supplied from a gas supply device to the inflatable body via different pipelines at different time points to produce on the face cushion a facial configuration similar to a patient's face, allowing different parts of the patient's face to contact with the face cushion intermittently.
