Publication number: 20220015558Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a customizable pillow apparatus. Typically, the customizable pillow apparatus comprises an outer shell and a support filler assembly contained within the outer shell. The support filler assembly comprises a plurality of support layer components arranged in a first configuration with each support layer component being structured to provide predetermined support characteristics. The support filler assembly is structured to be transformed from a disassembled mode to an assembled mode by rotating a first support layer of the plurality of support layers in a first direction such that the rotated first support layer at least partially overlaps a second support layer to form the first configuration. Moreover, arrangement, ordering, and positioning of the plurality of internal layer components is easily adjustable. The customizable pillow apparatus is configured to be modified into a second configuration from the first configuration to provide targeted support to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Applicant: BANYAN LICENSING L.L.C.Inventors: E.

Patent number: 11071669Abstract: Presented herein are various methods for using head positioning pillows to optimize respiratory titration. More specifically, the method includes a first step of determining an optimal relative angle between the patient's mouth and throat at which the patient's airway is optimally opened. The method also includes a second step of adjusting a head positioning pillow relative to the patient's head and neck to modify and transform the configuration of the pillow to achieve a pillow position that achieves the optimal relative angle.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Banyan Licensing L.L.C.Inventors: Edmund Scott Davis, Antonio Arcieri

Patent number: 10123639Abstract: A device for use with a respiratory mask comprises a pillow having at least one recess structured to receive the mask so that the pillow does not exert substantial pressure on the mask, and a cover that at least partially covers the exterior surface of the pillow and substantially follows the contours of the at least one recess. A method of using a respiratory mask comprises providing a pillow having at least one recess, positioning a cover on the pillow so that the cover substantially follows the contours of the at least one recess, positioning a respiratory mask on the head of a user, and positioning the user's head on the cover and pillow such that the mask is received in the at least one recess so that the pillow and cover do not exert substantial pressure on the mask.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: BANYAN LICENSING L.L.C.Inventors: Edmund Scott Davis, Antonio Arcieri

Publication number: 20080092297Abstract: A pillow formed of a resilient body and having an hourglass shape for placing between a person's legs to provide support while the person is reclining. The pillow can include a massaging unit disposed inside the body for producing vibrations. The pillow in one embodiment has first and second portions pivotally connected along a hinge such that the pillow is convertible between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The pillow can be positioned between the legs when in the closed configuration, or beneath the legs when in the open configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Edmund Davis, Antonio Arcieri

Publication number: 20060255646Abstract: A body support cushion including a first section of the cushion for forming a portion of the surface of the cushion, adapted to shift from a flattened state to a flexed state and a second section of the cushion for forming another portion of the surface of the cushion, adapted to shift from a flattened state to a flexed state. A hinge couples adjoining edges of the first and second sections. A first coupling member on the first section is selectively, releasably coupled to a second coupling member on the second section to create a body support cushion in which the first and second sections are flexed which results in a body support cushion capable of moving from a flattened state to a flexed state. The body support cushion is particularly suitable for supporting a user's lower back when sitting in a chair. It is also suitable for supporting other body parts such as the knee, ankle or even the back when laying down.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: E. Davis, Antonio Arcieri

Patent number: 6381784Abstract: The present invention provides a pillow having raised ribs which are angled at an acute angle with respect to a bottom surface of the pillow and define the upper surface of the pillow contacted by the user's head and neck. The angled ribs provide traction forces to the head and neck of the user. The ribs vary in thickness in the longitudinal direction along which a person's spine is oriented. The pillow preferably has a rear portion for supporting a person's head and a front portion for supporting a person's neck, and the ribs on the rear portion are upwardly inclined toward the rear edge of the pillow and the ribs on the front portion are upwardly inclined toward the front edge of the pillow, so that traction forces on the head and neck are exerted in opposite directions.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Banyan Licensing LLCInventors: Edmund Scott Davis, Antonio Arcieri
