Reusable warming blanket with phase change material
A warming device may include a batting layer having a phase change material. The batting layer may have a patient side and an upper side. A hot melt fabric adhesive may be applied to the patient side and upper side of the batting. A first fabric layer may be adhered to the hot melt fabric on the patient side of the batting. The first fabric layer may have a phase change material integrated coating. An insulation layer may be adhered to the hot melt fabric on the upper side of the batting. A second fabric layer may be coupled to the insulation layer.
Multi-zone temperature modulation system for bed or blanket
A temperature modulation system for a bed, blanket, or other furniture includes a fluid for moderating temperature change, a number of conduit circuits for directing the fluid through respective zones, a control unit including a thermoelectric device for modulating temperature of the fluid, and a pump. Each of the conduit circuits selectively and independently directs fluid through its respective zone in order to produce a temperature within the zone that is independent of the temperature outside the zone. The system also includes an arrangement of one or more zones in an arrangement in which the control unit is programmed to vary the zone temperature over time according to a schedule.
WEIGHTED BLANKET DEVICE WITH SUPPORT PILLOW
The present invention is a weighted blanket device that includes a weighted section and at least one support pillow but may or may not include a non-weighted section. The weighted blanket device provides support and/or comfort to certain applicable body area(s) of a user during use. As a non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device preferably includes a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, a top surface, a bottom surface, a length, a width, a weighted section, a non-weighted section, and one support pillow. As another non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device includes a pair of support pillows. As non-limiting examples of embodiment(s) that includes a pair of support pillows, the support pillows may be of the same size or of different sizes. Preferably, the length of the weighted blanket device is shorter than the lengths of conventional weighted blankets.
Cervical multi-position pillow
A multi-position pillow for providing cervical area support during sleep, the multi-position pillow comprising: an outer cover adapted to be opened; a core support removably associated with the outer cover, the core support comprising a sloped body, wherein a downward slope of the sloped body extends from a first end to a second end, a head connected to the first end and having a hump, and a ledge disposed in the head along a top end of the hump; and a contouring material layer removably associated with the outer cover, the contouring material layer being compressible such that to compress over a top of the core support; wherein an association of the outer cover with the core support and the contouring material layer causes the core support and the contouring material layer to be positioned centrally within the outer cover, such that to provide cervical area support to a user.
Micro-adjustment of cushions
A cover for a cushioning element, such as a pillow, volume adjustable. The cover includes one or more gathering elements that can alter a length and a volume of the cover. Each gathering element may extend around an end of the cover (e.g., circumferentially, helically around a circumference of the cover, etc.). Each gathering element may enable adjustment of the length and volume of the cover in extremely small increments or even continuously (i.e., in micro adjustments). The length and volume of the cover may be adjusted in a manner that limits or prevents migration of a cushioning element (e.g., an infill material, etc.) within the cover. A cushion, such as a pillow, may include a volume-adjustable cover with a cushioning element therein. Methods for adjusting the manner in which a cushioning element supports, molds around, underfills, and/or backfills a load and its form are also disclosed.
VIBRATING PILLOW STRIP AND OPERATING METHODS
Introduced are methods and systems for: gathering human biological signals, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyzing the gathered human biological signals; and controlling a vibrating pillow strip based on the analysis.
BLANKET FOR SOOTHING USERS EXPERIENCING HOT FLASHES AND COLD FLASHES
Disclosed herein is a blanket for soothing users experiencing hot flashes and cold flashes, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the blanket may include at least one first blanket portion and at least one second blanket portion. Further, the at least one first blanket portion may include at least one first element and the at least one second blanket portion may include at least one second element. Further, the at least one first blanket portion configured for soothing at least one first effect of the hot flashes experienced by at least one user based on the at least one first element. Further, the at least one second blanket portion may be configured for soothing at least one second effect of the cold flashes experienced by the at least one user based on the at least one second element.
COOLING STRUCTURE OR ASSEMBLY USING PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL
Cooling blankets for humans and animals including a plurality of chambers containing phase change material. The panels include upper and lower layers of weldable material with a plurality of linear welds connecting them and forming PCM chambers which extend across the panels in a generally linear, side-by-side arrangement. The panels further include fastener elements to connect adjacent panels and form a larger blanket. The shape and configuration of the panels and the PCM chambers allows them to be rolled for easy transportation and for charging.
Pet Bed
The invention relates to a pet bed configurable as any of a plurality of cushion types or a blanket. The ped bed may be folded a first way and secured in place with a first attachment device to form a cushion with a first surface type. The ped bed may be folded a second way and secured with a second and third attachment device to form a cushion with a second surface type. The ped bed may be unfolded to form a blanket. Additionally, the pet bed is constructed of fully washable materials so that the pet bed may be washed in a typical household washing machine.
WEARABLE BLANKET USABLE AS A BLANKET, TOWEL, WRAP, AND WORN FASHIONABLY AS A SKIRT
The present invention relates to a wearable blanket usable as a blanket, a towel, a wrap, and worn fashionably as a skirt. The front and back fabric panels are trapezoids in shape. Pockets are formed by pocket bags that are positioned between the front and back fabric layers and aligned with seams in the front panel allowing a person to insert their hands into the pocket bags when wearing the wearable blanket. A stretchable belt tab is stretchable, has a hook-and-loop surface portion, and is fastened along an edge of the wearable blanket. A belt receiver has a hook-and-loop portion and is fastened to the front fabric panel. The belt receiver fastens with the stretchable belt tab in a stretched orientation. The recoil force of the stretchable belt tab pulls the top edge of the wearable blanket snuggly around the waist or torso of the person wearing the wearable blanket.
