Vernon, N.Y. 10550. The device shown in the catalog is luxury bath pillow that cushions the head and neck. The device has a shell shape that cradles the user and keeps the user hair dry. Two strong suction cups grip the tub against slipping and sliding.

The device shown in the catalog is inflated to cushion its user against the hard surfaces of the tub and surrounding wall. Because it is inflated, the device must be used with care to guard against puncture, chemical penetration, and wear. The device also is structured so that the body weight must be pushed against the suction cups to hold it secure to the tub surface. This structural relationship requires that its user be cradled within the shell in a set manner and does not allow its user to seek his or her own comfort zone. Finally, the shell shape configuration does not provide an adjustable means of resting user in an orthopedic relationship between the head, neck and shoulder area.

BACKGROUND ART
