Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new sleeping support assembly embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0018] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the sleeping support assembly 10 generally comprises a first cushion 12 that is configured to support a torso of a user. The first cushion 12 has a top 14. In one embodiment, the first cushion 12 is truncated triangularly shaped when viewed from the top 14, such that a first end 16 of the first cushion 12 is dimensionally narrower than a second end 18. In another embodiment, the first cushion 12 is cuneal adjacent to the second end 18. The first cushion 12 is configured to position beneath the torso of the user with the second end 18 positioned proximate to a pelvis of the user and the first end 16 positioned proximate to a collar bone of the user. In yet another embodiment, the first cushion 12 comprises foam. In still yet another embodiment, the first cushion 12 comprises viscoelastic polyurethane foam.

[0019] A second cushion 20 is coupled to and extends from the first end 16 of the first cushion 12. The second cushion 20 has a first endpoint 22 and a second endpoint 24. The first endpoint 22 is positioned proximate to the first end 16 of the first cushion 12. The second endpoint 24 is positioned distal from the first cushion 12. In one embodiment, the second endpoint 24 is arcuate. In another embodiment, the second cushion 20 comprises foam. In yet another embodiment, the second cushion 20 comprises viscoelastic polyurethane foam.

[0020] A penetration 26 is positioned through the second cushion 20. The penetration 26 is substantially ovally shaped. The penetration 26 is configured to support a head of the user who is pronely positioned upon the first cushion 12, such that a spine of the user is aligned. The arms of the user are positioned such that blood flow to the arms is unimpaired.

[0021] A cutout 28 is positioned in a first face 30 of the second cushion 20. The cutout 28 is fluidically coupled to the penetration 26. The second cutout 28 is configured to allow airflow to the head of the user. In one embodiment, the cutout 28 is arcuate.

[0022] A strap 32 is coupled to and extends between the first end 16 of the first cushion 12 and the first endpoint 22 of the second cushion 20. The strap 32 is positioned proximate to the top 14 of the first cushion 12 and a second face 34 of the second cushion 20. The strap 32 is positioned to allow positioning of the second face 34 of the second cushion 20 upon the top 14 of the first cushion 12. The cutout 28 is configured to support the head of the user who is positioned semi-supinely upon the first cushion 12. The first cushion 12 and the second cushion 20 are configured to alleviate snoring and sleep apnea of the user.

[0023] In use, the penetration 26 is configured to support the head of the user who is pronely positioned upon the first cushion 12. The spine of the user is aligned and the arms of the user are positioned so that the blood flow to the arms is unimpaired. The second cutout 28 is configured to allowing airflow to the head of the user. The strap 32 is positioned to allow positioning of the second face 34 of the second cushion 20 upon the top 14 of the first cushion 12. The cutout 28 is configured to support the head of the user who is positioned semi-supinely upon the first cushion 12. The first cushion 12 and the second cushion 20 are configured to alleviate the snoring and the sleep apnea of the user.

[0024] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0025] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word comprising is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article a does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
