Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/286,568, filed Jan. 25, 2016, which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.
- Embodiments of the disclosure relate generally to a sleeping surface barrier. More specifically, embodiments of the disclosure relate to a barrier device for use in bedding to reduce interference from stimuli.
- Efficient and effective sleep is an essential need to maintain health. Cohabitation or continuous interaction with excessive stimuli may reduce one's ability to enter and sustain sufficient sleep. Thus, in the event of overactive stimuli, a system that reduces the stimuli while increasing functionality and structural stability may provide a distinct advantage. There have been attempts to provide a system that is versatile and stable. However, these systems appear to lack functionality and stability while in use, which increases discomfort while using the system. Thus, there remains a need for a system that is light weight, effective, versatile, and structurally stable.
- Some or all of the above needs and/or problems may be addressed by certain embodiments of the disclosure. Certain embodiments of the disclosure can include a system that provides a barrier for sleeping. According to an example embodiment of the disclosure, a system can be provided to separate two individuals to reduce interaction. The system may comprise a top wall positioned adjacent to the head of the user and a side wall positioned adjacent to the shoulder of the user. In addition, the top wall and the side wall may be positioned to stand vertically upright with respect to the head and shoulder of the user. The top wall and side wall may also be hingedly connected.
- Other embodiments, features, and aspects of the disclosure are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed disclosure. Other embodiments, features, and aspects can be understood with reference to the following detailed description, accompanying drawings and claims.
- The detailed description is set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale.

FIG. 3 is an exterior isometric view of a first side of the of the barrier shown inFIG. 1 , shown in a closed configuration. -
FIG. 4 is an exterior isometric view of a second side of the barrier shown inFIG. 1 , shown in a closed configuration. - Illustrative embodiments of the disclosure will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the disclosure are shown. The disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements.
- Referring now to the figures, the various numbers represent like elements through several views in
FIGS. 1-4 . In particular,FIG. 1 depicts the interior of anexample barrier 100 folded open and in use for protecting a head and shoulder of a user while sleeping on a surface, for example a bed. As shown, thebarrier 100 can include atop wall 102, aside wall 104, and acanopy 106. In one aspect of the present disclosure, theside wall 104 is substantially structurally similar to thetop wall 102. In another aspect of the present disclosure, theside wall 104 is structurally identical to thetop wall 102. As the features of theside wall 104 are substantially structurally similar to the features of thetop wall 102 described above, some features of theside wall 104 will not be described in duplicate. - The depicted
top wall 102 can be oriented such that it stands adjacent to the head of a user during use. In one aspect, thetop wall 102 can be configured to stand orthogonally-upright to a sleeping surface, for example a bed. In an aspect of the embodiment, thetop wall 102 can be constructed of a material that is self-supportable. When in use, the self-supportable material aids in allowing thebarrier 100 to stand erect, though supporting its own weight. An example self-supportable material can include, but is not limited to wood, foam, metals, and/or plastic. In another aspect of the embodiment, the self-supportable material can comprise a resiliently deformable composition, for example foam. - In another aspect of the embodiment, the self-supportable material can be covered by a secondary material, for example fabric. Further, the secondary material can increase the comfort to the user by providing a softer surface to interact with the user. This particular functionality is increased in the case of a more rigid self-supportable material such as a wood or metal. In another aspect of the embodiment, the secondary material can have a plush spongy-like texture to increase the comfort of the user. The secondary material can, but does not have to, completely enclose the self-supportable material. Thus, in other embodiments, the secondary material can be strategically placed along an
inner surface 116 of thetop wall 102. For example, a section of plush material can be placed on the self-supportable material where the head may be in most proximal contact. - In another aspect of the embodiment, the
top wall 102 can have a receivingpocket 108. Thetop wall pocket 108 can be orientated with an opening 114 to access a holding volume within. Thetop wall pocket 108 can provide additional utility by allowing a user to store items in his/her immediate vicinity. In another aspect of the embodiment, the opening 114 that provides access to an internal volume of thepocket 108 can be sealable by the use of a fastener. In use, the orientation of thepocket 108 can be in a direction facing upwards from thesleeping surface 112. In another embodiment, thetop wall pocket 108 can be oriented at various angles between the upwards direction and perpendicular to thesleeping surface 112. As discussed earlier, the structural similarities between thetop wall 102 andside wall 104, aside wall pocket 110 can possess that same structural and orientation features as the top wall pocket, including anopening 115. Accordingly, one aspect of the embodiment, thepockets pockets respective wall - As depicted, the orientation of the
side wall 104 relative to the user can differ from thetop wall 102. In an embodiment, theside wall 104 can be adjacent to a shoulder region of the user. When the user chooses to lie on their side, theside wall 104 can be adjacent to the user's back or stomach. Accordingly, thetop wall 102 andside wall 104 can be of sufficient height to shield a user when he or she is lying on their side. - As particularly depicted in
FIGS. 1-2 , another component of the barrier system can include a light-reducingcanopy 106. In an embodiment, thecanopy 106 can be constructed of a material that spans thetop wall 102 to theside wall 104. In another aspect of the embodiment, thecanopy 106 can be constructed of a material that has properties consistent with the lighting environment that it is used. For example, in one aspect of the embodiment thecanopy 106 can be constructed of an opaque material to block out light. In another aspect, the canopy material can be constructed of a polarized material, allowing for some light to reach the user. - The
canopy 106 can be releasably secured totop wall 102 orside wall 104. For example, a hook and loop connector similar to Velcro® can be used as a connecting system. One component of the hook and loop can be connected to awall canopy 106. In other embodiments, various combinations of fasteners may be used to secure and release thecanopy 106 from thewalls walls canopy 106 can be fixedly secured at oneend 120 and releasably secured at theother end 122. For an embodiment with a releasablysecured end 122, an aspect of the embodiment can include thecanopy 106 being in alignment with one of thetop wall 102 and theside wall 104. - In one embodiment, the
top wall 102 andside wall 104 can be connected, forming a singular operational structure. For example, thetop wall 102 andside wall 104 can be configured in a hingedconnection 118. In one aspect of the embodiment, the hingedconnection 118 can be operated by stitching the secondary material covering thewalls - When the
barrier 100 is placed in an open configuration, thecanopy 106 can be secured, while the canopy spans thetop wall 102 andside wall 104. In one aspect, thecanopy 106 can be configured with fasteners on both sides of thefree end 122. As particularly shown inFIG. 3 , a bottomfree end fastener 126 can engage asidewall fastener 128 positioned on the outwardly-facing surface of theside wall 104.Example fasteners 128 can include hook-and-loop, snaps, zipper, or push-through button. As shown inFIGS. 3-4 , when thebarrier 100 is in a closed configuration, thetop wall 102 and theside wall 104 can be folded toward each other using thehinge 118. Further, thefree end 122 of thecanopy 106 can be folded over thetop wall 102. Thefree end 122 can then be secured by engaging a topfree end fastener 125 to thefastener 124.Example fasteners 128 can include hook-and-loop, snaps, zipper, or push-through button. This allows thebarrier 100 to be stored in a convenient structure. - While the disclosure has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical of various embodiments, it is to be understood that the disclosure is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to barrier various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
