Protective Arm Cover

Номер: US20220030965A1
Автор: Kidd Charles
Принадлежит:

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.
