RECONFIGURABLE PILLOWCASE
A reconfigurable pillowcase 10 has two congruent panels 12 of non-absorbent fabric connected at two lateral sides 14 and a closed distal end 16. Three handles 30 extend in a proximal direction from the proximal open end 18 of each panel 12. Fastening strips 22 inside the pillowcase's proximal open end 18 seal off the interior of the pillowcase. The handles 30 form one pair of medial handles 50 and two pairs of lateral handles 52 which may be folded over each other and held with a single hand. The folding of the pillowcase to align the handles creates creases in the pillowcase that improves the control a person has over the direction and motion of the pillowcase during a pillow fight.
Apparatus Capable of Transforming Between a Sleep Aid and a Tote Bag
An apparatus capable of transforming between a sleep aid and a tote bag is an apparatus that can be used to help the user to carry various personal objects while travelling. The apparatus can also be used for comfort while the user rests during the travel. To do so, the apparatus includes a tote bag, a plurality of heating devices, and a controller. The tote bag is a transformable structure that can be configured to be used as a storage structure or as a pillow-blanket combination. The tote bag also facilitates the transformation of the apparatus between the two configurations by the user on-the-go. The plurality of heating devices provides warm and comfort to the user when the user utilizes the apparatus as a pillow-blanket combination. The controller enables the user to control the operation of the plurality of heating devices while utilizing the apparatus as a pillow-blanket combination.
Changing table cover
A changing table cover comprises a sheet, a pillow and a bag. The sheet includes a plurality of corner portions, at least two of which include elastic material. The pillow is affixed to a top surface of the sheet. The bag is affixed to an end portion of the sheet.
MEDICAL GAS DELIVERY
A system for delivering medical gases, such as supplemental oxygen, to a subject includes a positioner and a diffuser positionable on opposite sides of a location on a surface where the subject will rest their head. The positioner may position a head and face of the subject in a desired orientation, while the diffuser may direct at least one medical gas to be delivered to the subject toward the subject's face. Methods for delivering medical gas(es) are also disclosed.
Neck Pillow Bladder Assembly
A neck pillow bladder assembly includes a neck pillow that is curved into a U-shape for positioning around a user's neck. A compartment is integrated into the neck pillow and a bladder is insertable into the compartment in the neck pillow. The bladder can be filled with a fluid beverage and a tube is fluidly attachable to the bladder to receive the fluid beverage. Additionally, the tube is exposed when the bladder is positioned in the compartment to facilitate a user to drink the liquid beverage from the tube. A mouthpiece is fluidly coupled to the tube for positioning in the user's mouth to facilitate the user to drink the liquid beverage from the mouthpiece.
Mindfulness assisting assembly and method
A mindfulness assisting assembly includes a housing that has a front wall, a rear wall and a perimeter edge defined at a juncture of the front and rear walls. The perimeter edge includes a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a top edge and a bottom edge. Each of the front and rear walls is comprised of a flexible material. The front and rear walls each comprise a cloth material and the front wall has a different tactile impression than the rear wall. A resiliently compressible material is positioned within the housing. A pair of grips is attached to the housing such that each of the first and second lateral edges has one the grips attached thereto.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FURNITURE PROTECTION
Methods and apparatus for creating furniture protection which may be easily installed and removed are disclosed. The stored furniture protection may be designed to function as decorative items for the furniture such as pillows, bolsters and the like. In some examples, the stored furniture protection may take a form as a pillow and then when unfolded may form a lightweight impermeable cover for the furniture.
HEATED BODY PILLOW
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a heated body pillow are described. The pillow may receive, from a user device, one or more commands for adjusting an operating temperature of a heating element located inside an outer covering of the pillow. A power cord coupled to the heating element may be at least partially enclosed by a tubular shroud external to and coupled to the outer covering. The pillow may adjust the operating temperature of the heating element based on receiving the one or more commands.
APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING SLEEP
An apparatus for assisting sleep according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a main body which includes two bodies configured to support the body of a baby and configured so that one end portion of one body and one end portion of the other body are connected to each other and two heads formed at the other end portions of the two bodies and stacked while intersecting with each other to support the head of the baby; and a support portion which is formed at the main body and configured to support the head and neck of the baby from a circumference thereof.
PILLOW SPEAKER RELAY CIRCUIT, PILLOW SPEAKER, AND METHOD FOR SAME
The present disclosure provides a method for determining a presence of a relay in a pillow speaker, including sampling a voltage of a relay drive line to detect a first feedback state; providing a control signal to activate the relay drive line; sampling a voltage of the relay drive line during activation to detect a second feedback state; and comparing the first feedback state and the second feedback state to detect a presence of a relay. In another aspect, a pillow speaker relay circuit includes a relay drive line with a relay terminal configured to connect to a relay such that current flows through the relay when the relay drive line is activated; a control circuit operable to activate the relay drive line, and a feedback detection circuit configured to detect a voltage of the relay drive line; and a controller to perform any of the disclosed methods.
