Infant support pillow
| Details |
Inventors: Clute, L. Jason;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Trettel; Michael F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
A support pillow in two detachable main sections, each section having an elongated right triangular wedge-shaped resilient foam member each covered with fabric with a portion of the fabric extending outward to define a flexible rectangular panel. The top surface of one rectangular panel, and the bottom surface of the other rectangular panel are affixed with elongated hook and loop fastening strips which allow adjustable overlapping affixment of the two rectangular panels one to another, thereby allowing affixing together of the two main sections of the pillow. When affixed together, the two sections of the support pillow define an open-ended and open-top channel with the rectangular panels and fabric covered foam members providing a roll-preventing flat bottom, and the fabric covered foam members additionally defining two spaced apart vertically oriented side walls of the channel. The hook and loop attachment of the two rectangular panels provides for adjustability in the distance between vertical side walls of the channel. An infant may be placed on its side, on top of the overlapped rectangular panels with the vertical side walls of the support pillow positioned snugly against the chest and back of the infant, with the infant's torso within the channel. The infant's head extends out one open end of the channel, and his legs extend out the outer oppositely disposed open end of the channel. The support pillow assists in stabilizing and maintaining the infant comfortably in a lateral sleeping position. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is an adjustable support pillow primarily for use with infants, to maintain an infant on its side during sleep and thus hopefully reduce the risk of SIDS, while also providing an acceptable level of comfort.
My support pillow includes two detachable main sections.
Each main section is structured of an elongated wedge-shaped resilient padding member each covered with a flexible thin sheeting material to define right-triangular pads.
The thin sheeting material may be a soft fabric or the like which is washable, or may be thin sheeting material which is disposable, such as the fiber filled paper-like materials such as those often used in hospitals for disposable gowns.
I have also considered using plastic sheeting.
The thin sheeting material of each triangular pad extends from and beyond one lateral edge thereof to define a thin flexible rectangular panel.
The two main sections of the pillow are adjustably affixable together along the rectangular panel portions with the use of attached elongated strips of hook and loop fasteners utilized to connect the two rectangular panels when overlapping one another.
When affixed together, the two main sections of the support pillow define an open-ended and open-top channel with the rectangular panels and flat bases of the triangular pads defining a flat bottom to prevent the pillow and baby from rolling on a surface, and with the triangular pads additionally defining two spaced apart vertically oriented side walls of the channel.
An infant may be placed on its side, on top of the overlapped rectangular panels which define the bottom of the channel, with the vertical side walls of the support pillow positioned snugly against the chest and back of the infant, with the infant's torso within the channel.
The infant's head extends out one open end of the channel, and his legs extend out the other oppositely disposed open end of the channel.
The hook and loop fasteners on the overlapped panels allow the distance between two parallel lateral vertical sides of the triangular pads to be adjusted in spacing by adjusting the overlap of the two rectangular panels, and thus adjusting the width of the channel, with this being to accommodate for varying widths of infants, and for gradual increases as an infant grows
