An anti-snoring massage pillow comprises a pillow body provided with a sound sensing unit, a control unit, an inflator unit, at least one exhaust unit and an air bag system including at least one air bag. When the user who lies on the pillow body snores, the sound of snoring will be sensed by the sound sensing unit, and then the control unit will drive the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system. After being inflated for a center period, the control unit will stop driving the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system, and the air in the air bag system will be exhausted through the exhaust unit. By such arrangements, the head posture and position of the user can be adjusted by inflation of the air bag system, and the air bag system can further offer a massage to the head of the user during the inflation process.

Hygienic bedding including microbial detection valves and infection controls cushioning and/or bedding devices comprising said microbial detection valves

Номер: US20120266753A1
Автор: David Woolfson, Duncan Bain, William Navan
Принадлежит: Pneuma Pure I P Ltd

The present invention relates to microbial detection valves and particularly, unidirectional valves which include means for detecting the presence of microbes. The present invention also relates to infection control cushioning and/or bedding including said microbial detection valves. In another aspect, the present invention concerns improvements in and relating to hygienic bedding and particularly in and relating to hygienic bedding covers. The present invention has the advantage that it provides a one-way valve incorporated into the pillow cover as well as a microbial filter membrane, to allow air to exhaust quickly from the pillow through the valve, bypassing the membrane. Air re-entering the pillow may only pass through the microbial filter membrane. Thus, air re-entering the pillow does so at slower speed, but has the advantage that forcing the re-entering air to pass through the micorbial filter allows only sterile air to enter the pillow. The present invention also provides a means for sealing hygienic bedding such as a mattress in a waterproof covering while enabling visual inspection.

A protective arm cover utilizes a set of curved rigid panels to create a firm, structurally-sound guard with an opening for a user's arm. A set of metal ties may be used to join adjacent panels, securing the panels end-to-end. The panels and ties may utilize sets of holes to enable connection and size adjustment, thus preventing the apparatus from consuming too much space on the bed and simultaneously ensuring that the user's arm is comfortably supported during sleep. Shifting aligned holes in the panels and ties allows for adjustment of the diameter of the arm space. An inner padding within the arm opening created by the panels ensures that the user's arm is cushioned from the rigid panels. Similarly, an outer padding prevents the user's head from contacting the panels and ties while the user rests. Thus, the apparatus may prevent damage or discomfort to an extremity during sleep. 1.

Принадлежит: Silentium LLC

This invention relates to pillows, specifically to a pillow that provides support for a person's head, back in treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This invention is constructed with firm polyurethane foam, ultimately allowing an adequate support of the head and neck with three different heights and angles to support the head and neck in what is generally described as a “Fowler's Position” where the person is sitting straight up or leaning slightly back. The invention achieves the Fowler's position by having the person lying on the bed in a supine position using the pillow which has angles to rest the head on steps that allow the head and neck to be position at heights from 3, 6 or 11.5 inches. The head will rest on a “step” that will vary from 40 degrees, 34 degrees or 11.3 degrees. The person using the pillow will determine the proper combination of pillow height and angle that works best for positioning the user's head for comfort and snoring reduction or elimination.
