09808370 · 2017-11-07 ·

The invention is a pillow that positions the neck enabling the sleeper to keep his airways open and get a good night's rest without snoring. The invention is a rectangular block of foam with a center cavity for an individual's head. The pillow is contoured to allow the lordotic curve of the cervical spine to be maintained and ensures that the upper portion of the thoracic spine is properly supported. Over the neck a foam bridge is formed to hold the jaw firmly in place whether a person lays on his back or sides. The bridge keeps the mandible from opening during sleep prohibiting mouth-breathing and snoring. Both the pillow and the bridge are made of flexible foam that is flexible enough to allow the neck to pass through the opening in the bridge. The bridge is position to keep the mouth closed and the airway open ensuring no snoring.

11484125 · 2022-11-01 · ·

A multi-axis headrest system for simultaneously locking or adjusting all axis of an adjustable headrest with a single lever or a single point of adjustment is provided. No external tools are required but may be used if desired. The single lever or point of adjustment allows the headrest to be correctly positioned optimizing the comfort, function and safety of the user. The single lever or point of adjustment provides the caregiver, or attending individual, the ability to adjust the positioning of the headrest with greater ease, more control and confidence. The single lever or point of adjustment causes a locking mechanism or means to generate a clamping force that locks the headrest in place. The same lever or point of adjustment also causes the locking mechanism or means to release the clamping force to allow adjustment of the headrest. The ease of adjustability is achieved without compromising security and durability.
