Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 10/613,880, filed on Jul. 3, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to support cushions and, more particularly, to an inflatable and fully adjustable foot rest, seat cushion, and lumbar pillow.
- Traditional seats in airplanes, busses, and trains, as well as theaters and stadiums, are generally designed to accommodate a person of average height and to conserve as much floor space as possible. Often times, this leads to a cramped seating area and a seat that is not at the proper height for the seated person. To make matters worse, people generally have no choice but to remain in these seats for long periods of time. Unfortunately, there are a number of health risks associated with being seated for a long duration of time. These health risks are exacerbated by the inability of the seated person to properly stretch.
- In order to avoid health problems such as deep vein thrombosis, swollen feet, and back injury, it is important that a person be seated comfortably and properly. For example, a short person's feet should not dangle from the seat, but rather should comfortably reach the floor. Furthermore, a tall person's knees should not be bent above the height of the seat. It is also important that a person receive proper back support when seated for long periods of time.
- There are many support cushions available that address a particular one of the above identified problems. However, a person's needs are not always the same in every situation. Sometimes the user may require additional back support, while at other times the user may require a foot rest. The support cushions known in the art are not versatile enough to provide the user with a support cushion that is appropriate for a user's various and changing needs.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide new and improved support cushions that are adjustable and inflatable.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that can be adjusted to various heights and angles
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that can be adjusted so that opposing portions of the cushion can have varying heights and angles.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that can be neatly, easily, and controllably inflated and deflated.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that support and restrain a person's feet.
- Still a further object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that can be arranged on the floor and lifted without requiring a user to bend over.
- Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that vibrate and are heated.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide new and improved support cushions that are versatile enough to comfortably function as a foot rest, seat cushion, and lumbar pillow.
- Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, these and other objects are attained by providing a support cushion having an inflatable bladder and at least one adjustable strap. The inflatable bladder includes a top portion and at least one side wall portion perpendicularly disposed from the top portion. The adjustable strap or straps have a first end coupled to a bottom portion of the side wall and a second end coupled to the top portion of the inflatable bladder. The adjustable strap can be tightened so that the side wall is compressed.
- In a preferred embodiment, the side walls have at least one substantially horizontal pleat. The pleat serves as a crease along which the side wall is folded when the side wall is compressed by the adjustable strap. The pleat makes it easier to compress the side wall of the bladder in a controlled and compact manner.
- The support cushion preferably has a concave bottom portion coupled to the side walls. The concavity of the bottom portion is curved in the direction of the top portion such that the underside of the support cushion is concave. The concavity of the bladder reduces its volume requiring less air to inflate. This makes it easier to inflate the support cushion. The reduced volume also reduces the time it takes to inflate and deflate the cushion.
- The support cushion also, preferably, has a guide strap coupled to the inflatable bladder. The guide strap permits a user to guide the support cushion along the floor without bending down. Additionally, the support cushion can be retrieved from the floor using the guide strap without the user having to bend down.
- A more complete appreciation of the present invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily understood by reference to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a support cushion according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic bottom view of the support cushion according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is sectional view along the line A-A ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a schematic front view of the support cushion according to the present invention showing adjustable straps at equal lengths. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic front view of the support cushion according to the present invention showing adjustable straps at unequal lengths. -
FIG. 6 is a schematic side view of the support cushion according to the present invention showing back two adjustable straps at one length and front two straps at a second length. -
FIG. 7 is a schematic side view of the support cushion according to the present invention showing a top portion with a crease and all four adjustable straps at the same length. - Referring now to the drawings in which like reference characters designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to
FIGS. 1-7 . - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , the support cushion, generally labeled 10, includes aninflatable bladder 20 and four adjustable straps 30(a, b, c, d). Thesupport cushion 10 shown in the figures is rectangular, however, it is understood that thecushion 10 may be round or be of any other shape. Theinflatable bladder 20 has atop portion 40 and four side wall portions 50(a, b, c, d) that extend substantially perpendicularly from thetop portion 40. It is understood that if thesupport cushion 10 is round then only one side wall portion 50 around the circumference of thecushion 10 is necessary. Each of thetop portion 40 and side wall portions 50 of theinflatable bladder 20 are formed of opposing membranes 22(a, b) that are separated by anair pocket 24, as shown inFIG. 3 . Theinflatable bladder 20, preferably, is made out of rubber and has a unitary construction. It is understood that the bladder may be constructed out of any other suitable materials such as plastics. Thebladder 20 is given its shape by stamping or any other means known in the art. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , in the preferred embodiment, theinflatable bladder 20 also has aconcave bottom portion 60 coupled to the side wall portions 50. The concavity of thebottom portion 60 is curved in the direction of thetop portion 40. This construction appears similar to an inverted bathtub. The concavity of thebottom portion 60 reduces the volume of theinflatable bladder 20 requiring less air to inflate thebladder 20. Furthermore, the concavity provides for a seat cushion that can be used comfortably by people suffering from hemorrhoids or other illness. Theseat cushion 10 is turned upside down so that the concavity faces upward. The user sits on thesupport cushion 10 such that the area affected by the hemorrhoids is over the concavity and is not irritated by thecushion 10. The user is supported in the seated position by the side wall portions 50. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , the side wall portions 50 of thebladder 20 are pleated 52 in a manner similar to the bellows of an accordion. This permits the side wall portions 50 to be easily and neatly compressed in a compact and controlled manner. Thepleats 52 also permit thebladder 20 to be inflated in a controlled manner. Thepleats 52 prevent the side wall portions 50 from bulging when they are squeezed by causing the side wall portions 50 to fold at the creases of thepleats 52. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , in the preferred embodiment, thetop portion 40 has two foot restraints 42(a, b) that are used to secure the user's feet to thecushion 10. It is understood that one large foot restraint may be used to secure both feet or even only one foot. Securing only one foot permits the user to have full range of motion with the other foot without loosing contact with thecushion 10. Thefoot restraints 42 assure that the user's feet will not fall off thecushion 10 during use. Thefoot restraints 42 may be a loop coupled to thetop portion 40 that the user can place his or her foot through or any other means known in the art. - The preferred embodiment of the support cushion also includes a
guide strap 70 coupled to theinflatable bladder 20. Theguide strap 70 extends from thecushion 10 and is intended to be held in the hand of the user at a distal end. Theguide strap 70 is used to pull thecushion 10 in order to adjust its placement on the floor without requiring the user to bend down and move thecushion 10. Furthermore, theguide strap 70 is used to lift thecushion 10 off the floor once the user has finished using thecushion 10. - The
bladder 20 is inflated by introducing air between the membranes 22 of thebladder 20 through anair valve 80. Theinflatable bladder 20 can be filled by manually blowing air into thevalve 80 or by pulling opposingmembranes bladder 20 in opposite directions to form a vacuum that sucks air into thebladder 20 through theair valve 80. Theair valve 80 is also used to controllably deflate thebladder 20. - The adjustable straps 30 have a
first end 31 coupled to the bottom of the side wall portions 50 or to thebottom portion 60 and asecond end 32 coupled to thetop portion 40 of theinflatable bladder 20. The length of the adjustable straps 30 may be adjusted to make the straps longer or shorter. The length of the straps 30 is adjustable by any means known in the art, e.g. Velcro or a buckle. Each of the adjustable straps 30 can be tightened so that they compress a portion of the side wall portions 50 of theinflatable bladder 20. - The adjustable straps 30 are used to customize and adjust the
support cushion 10 to fit the needs of the user. The straps 30 are adjusted to various lengths to adjust the height and inflection of thecushion 10. The adjustability of thesupport cushion 10 can be improved by increasing the number of adjustable straps 30 used. Furthermore, the placement of the straps 30 determines the type of adjustment that the straps can be used to achieve. - For example, the four adjustable straps 30 shown in the figures are each coupled near a corner of the
support cushion 10. All the straps 30 may be shortened to the same length to lower thesupport cushion 10 to that height, as shown inFIG. 4 . Alternatively, straps 30 a and 30 b may be adjusted to a length shorter than that ofstraps FIG. 5 . Similarly, straps 30 b and 30 d may be set to a length shorter than the length ofstraps FIG. 6 . It is understood that a variety of strap length configurations may be used in order to achieve different heights and angles of thesupport cushion 10. Accordingly, it is understood that the adjustable straps 30 can be placed at various positions on thesupport cushion 10 in order to adjust the shape of the cushion by setting the straps 30 to specific lengths in order to compress thecushion 10 in particular places and to let it expand to its full length in other places. - By adjusting the straps 30, the support cushion l takes on shapes that are suitable for different utilities and situations. If the user requires a flat foot rest, the straps 30 can all be set to the same length. If the user requires a seat cushion that angles backward, the straps 30 are adjusted accordingly. The versatility provided by the
support cushion 10 of the present invention permits the user to require only one cushion for all his or her support needs. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, acrease 110 is provided on thetop portion 40 of the inflatable bladder so that the top portion bulges when it is inflated. The bulge improves the support cushions functionality as a lumbar cushion. - In one embodiment, the support cushion also includes a
heating element 90 and/or a vibratingelement 100. These elements, preferably, are battery operated and are removably attached to thetop portion 40 of theinflatable bladder 20. These elements further provide relief and stimulation to the user's feet or back. - The description provided above indicates that a great degree of flexibility exists with the support cushion. Although the support cushion has been described with considerable detail with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, other embodiments are possible. Therefore the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the preferred versions contained herein.
