A47C31/008
Mattress, sheet, bed system, and air cell
A mattress including air cells that are located on both sides of a user, in which the air cells each have a convex shape on a first side surface, and the air cells are arranged so that the convex shapes thereof are respectively located near shoulder blade outer edges of the user.
Posture control chair
A posture correcting chair having a back rest assembly providing mounting attachments for a head or neck rest, a lumbar support, at least one arm rest, and a posture retainer and supported by a seat assembly. The headrest, lumbar, seat and back support all adjust to allow a user to distribute their weight about a greater number of surfaces for adaptive comfort. A posture retainer affixed to the back rest assembly dynamically adjusts to the contour of a user's body based on force and pressure created while seated to provide active posture correction for a user to prevent slumping or slouching. A knee rest assembly is attached to rail system on a lower end of chair the base platform to provide additional support surfaces. The seat and knee rest assembly include heating, cooling or vibrating or massaging.
BED HAVING ROLLOVER IDENTIFYING FEATURE
A mattress has a first support portion configure to receive and support a first user and a second support portion configured to receive and support a second user. The first support portion and the second support portion are adjacent to each other such that the first user is capable of rolling over from the first support portion to the second support portion while sleeping on the first support portion. A sensor is configured to sense first pressure in the first support portion and sense second pressure in the second support portion. The sensor is further configured to transmit data of the first pressure and the second pressure. The controller is configured to receive the data and from the data of the first pressure and the second pressure, determine if the first user has rolled over from the first support portion to the second support portion.
Smart Adjustable Bed System
A smart adjustable bed system combines an adjustable bed, a smart hub, a server, and smart devices to provide a system for controlling the raising and lowering of the adjustable bed. The smart hub acts as a gateway interconnecting the smart adjustable bed and a remote server capable of powerful voice recognition and artificial intelligence at a shared price. The system includes methods of using the system to allow an additional smart device such as a tablet computer to act as a remote control for the smart adjustable bed. The system further enables voice controls to be used to raise and lower the adjustable bed. Lastly, the voice recognition of the smart hub can be used to detect snoring and to send a signal to the adjustable bed to raise the bed to a position until the user reaches a position where snoring stops.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR VARYING PRESSURE POINTS OVER TIME IN A SUPPORT DEVICE
A variable pressure device includes: a user support device including a plurality of inflatable sub-divisions; a pump or compressor; and a manifold assembly including a plurality of valves controlling output of the pump or compressor to selectively inflate and deflate each of the plurality of inflatable sub-divisions.
THREE DIMENSIONAL MATTRESS SYSTEM
A three dimensional mattress system is provided which may be configured to provide three dimensional body support to a user. In some embodiments, the system may include a rigid frame, and a frame cavity, in which the frame cavity is open at its highest elevation. A plurality of pillows may be contained within the frame cavity. At least a portion of the plurality of pillows may be coverless, and at least a portion of the pillows in the plurality of pillows are not physically attached to one another and are substantially independent of one another such that they can move freely within the frame cavity. The plurality of pillows may form a first body support area for supporting a first portion of the user, and a support unit may form a second body support area for supporting a second portion of the user.
Smooch n' Snore [TM]: Devices to Create a Plurality of Adjustable Acoustic and/or Thermal Zones in a Bed
This invention is a device which creates adjustable acoustic and/or thermal zones in a bed to address sleep issues such as bed partner snoring and hot flashes. Adjustable acoustic bed zones can be created with a flexible movable partition which longitudinally spans a bed from an arch at the head of the bed to an arch at the foot of the bed. Adjustable thermal bed zones can be created with inflow and outflow flexible longitudinal air tubes which are inserted into a space between layers of bedding.
THREE DIMENSIONAL MATTRESS SYSTEM WITH ENVIRONMENT CONTROL
A three dimensional mattress system with environment control is provided which may be configured to provide three dimensional body support to a user. In some embodiments, the system may include a rigid frame that may form a frame cavity. Optionally, the system may include one or more temperature regulators. A plurality of pillows may be positioned within the frame cavity, and a user may be supported by the plurality of pillows. Optionally, one or more air moving devices may be configured to move air external to the frame through the plurality of pillows, and one or more air filters may be configured to filter air moved by the air moving devices.
Patient Turning Device For A Patient Support Apparatus
A patient turning device for a patient support apparatus. The patient turning device includes a first and second bladder assembly each including a plurality of layers and seals defining a bladder volume. The bladder volumes are selectively inflatable with fluid to expand the respective bladder assembly, and consequently move a patient support surface of the patient support apparatus. A portion of a lower layer of the first bladder assembly and a portion of an upper layer of the second bladder assembly define an overlapping region of the bladder volumes. The patient turning device is coupled to an underside of a carrier sheet and positioned between a crib assembly and a bottom cover. An augmenting feature is configured to resiliently expand as at least one of the first and second bladder assemblies receives the fluid to move at least a portion of the crib assembly away from a patient support deck.
BED WITH VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY SYSTEM
A bed with a vibroacoustic therapy system that combines the relaxation power of body sonic energy massage, soothing low-frequency sound waves, and the healing power of users' favorite music to deliver the ultimate in stress reduction, pain relief, increases of circulation and mobility for the users. The bed includes a frame structure; a plurality of platforms disposed on the frame structure; and one or more massage devices spatial-separately installed on the plurality of platforms. The one or more massage devices comprises sonic vibrators or music based vibrators. The one or more massage devices are operable individually or cooperatively with a remote control, and/or a smart mobile device.
