ORTHOPEDIC CONTOUR PILLOW
An orthopedic contour pillow including a top portion and a bottom portion removably attached to the top portion. The bottom portion has a tapered thickness such that a user can adjust the angle of the pillow by rotating the bottom portion.
Knee pillow and method of use
Disclosed is a pillow for placing between the knees while sleeping. The pillow has a substantially toroid-shaped outer casing with an inner volume containing a fill material. The generally uniform round shape of embodiments of the pillow provides for easy insertion of the pillow between the knees because the pillow does not have to be oriented in any particular radial direction prior to insertion. Some embodiments of the pillow may have a hole through the center. Both the top and bottom surfaces of embodiments of the pillow curve downward and inward toward the center, forming a top and bottom depression for cradling the knee joints while preventing the pillow from unintentionally sliding out from between the knees. A method of using a pillow for placing between the knees is also disclosed.
LOW-DENSITY VISCOELASTIC FOAMS, BODY SUPPORT ARTICLES COMPRISING SAME, AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME
A viscoelastic foam layer, comprising a polyurethane comprising: from about 15 weight parts to about 75 weight parts toluene diisocyanate (TDI) residues per 100 weight parts polyol residues; wherein the viscoelastic foam layer: has a density less than or equal to 2 pounds/cubic foot (0.032 g/cm.sup.3), has an air flow greater than or equal to 2.5 CFM (0.07 m.sup.3/min), has a recovery time greater than or equal to 4 seconds, has an indentation force deflection (IFD) less than or equal to 10 pounds/square foot (478.8 Pa), has a height loss less than or equal to 10% after prolonged compression of 90% of an original height. A method of making the viscoelastic foam layer. A body support article comprising the viscoelastic foam layer.
Customizable pressure offloading cushioning device
The subject invention is a device intended for use where support or restriction of motion of a body part is desired. The subject of the present invention is the formation of a network of lattice intrusions into the matrix of the device so that elements of the lattice can be removed to form a depression in the matrix of the device that conforms to the anatomy of the region that is being supported and positioned while offloading pressure.
Anti-wrinkle/anti-snoring/therapeutic foam pillow
A trapezoidal-shaped foam pillow with a hole in the center and two sloping sides each sloping downward that allow the user to sleep comfortably on every side; front, back, left side and right side. The hole in the center suspends wrinkles and provides a head cradle that along with the neck rest provide therapeutic neck support while the sloping sides suspend wrinkles, reduce snoring and minimize clenched jaw.
METHOD OF FORMING A MOLDED SUBSTRATE ELECTRONIC PACKAGE AND STRUCTURE
An electronic package includes a substrate having a plurality of lands embedded within an insulating layer. Conductive patterns are disposed on at least a portion of a respective land top surface. An electronic device is electrically connected to the conductive patterns, wherein the land bottom surfaces are exposed to the outside. In another embodiment, the top land surfaces and the top surface of the insulating layer are substantially co-planar and the conductive patterns further overlap portions of the top surface of the insulating layer. In one embodiment, a package body encapsulates the top surface of the insulating material and the electronic device, wherein the land bottom surfaces are exposed to the outside of the package body.
WRINKLE PREVENTION PILLOW
A pillow for preventing or reducing formation of wrinkles in a user's face may include a pillow body designed to support and partially wrap around a user's head. The pillow body may include a bottom portion designed to be positioned against a back of the user's head; a pair of head sidewalls extending upward from the bottom portion proximate to a first edge of the bottom portion; a pair of neck side walls extending upward from the bottom portion proximate to a second edge of the bottom portion; and a cheek cutout separating each head sidewall from an adjacent neck sidewall. The cheek cutouts may be sized and positioned to accommodate a user's cheeks and side face.
SUPPORT PILLOW
A support pillow including a backrest, a first armrest, and a second armrest. The first and second armrests are detachably engageable with the backrest. Together, the backrest and first and second armrests define and encircle a space into which a person's torso is received when the person is seated and resting against the backrest. A free end of the first armrest is detachably engageable with a free end of the second armrest a distance spaced longitudinally forward of a front of the backrest. Each of the backrest, first armrest, and second armrest may be provided with a handle and may include one or more pockets.
Stabilization Pillows
Stabilization pillows for offsetting mattress deformation caused by a user’s weight in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a stabilization pillow includes a top surface and a bottom surface, and a bottom padding portion, where the bottom padding portion protrudes relative to the bottom surface to offset mattress deformation caused by a user’s weight on a mattress.
Traction Pillow System
A neck traction device is designed to provide gentle neck tensioning stress with the body in a resting, horizontal position. The device includes a wedge-shaped head pillow angled away from the torso whereby the angle of the wedge promotes force of the head away from the body, promoting neck tension. The device also includes a wedge-shaped body pillow, positioned to properly align the head and spine in all resting positions, and to relieve shoulder compression for side resting positions.
