Continuous Spring Elements Patents (Class 5/189)
  • Patent number: 10159365
    Abstract: A supporting pillow structure for a user to sleep or to perform sedentary activity facing down toward the pillow structure with the user's hands and arms placed underneath their face. The pillow structure includes a top opening substantially on the top surface of the pillow structure for the user's face to lean into the pillow structure, at least two side openings in the side of the pillow structure for the user to insert the user's arms into the pillow structure and place the user's arms underneath their head or body comfortably and to increase airflow for the user to breathe comfortably while resting, and a cavity in the middle of the pillow structure for airflow between the openings and for placing objects within the pillow structure, allowing the user to perform tasks requiring minimal physical activity while remaining comfortable and sedentary for an extended period of time.

  • Patent number: 9877588
    Abstract: Improvements in a front facing sitting pillow that mounts or sits on a table desk or tray. For people that are in a restricted seat, like on an airplane seat, the person in a seat has limited access to the floor or other structure. From an airplane seat a person has a fold-down tray where the person can place items for work or leisure use. The front facing sitting pillow is adjustable to accommodate different geometry of users and place the pillow at a position where the pillow is essentially neutral when the person is resting to prevent neck stain as they rest. The sides can be moved further apart or set at an angle to accommodate the desire of a person that is resting. The pillow(s) are covered with a cushioned fabric material that is removable to allow them to be cleaned, or replaced.

  • Patent number: 5155881
    Abstract: An adjustable bed including a multi-section mattress frame mounted on a base frame. The mattress frame includes a head section and a lower section. The lower section may include an intermediate or seat section and a leg section. A mattress support is joined to the mattress frame. The mattress support includes a plurality of wire grids joined to the sections. Each grid includes a plurality of tandemly arranged, transversely extending, generally rectangular closed loops. End portions of the loops are axially aligned and joined to lateral or side portions of the mattress frame. A plurality of parallel, longitudinally or axially extending support wires are positioned on the loops. The support wires extend generally parallel to the lateral portions or sides of the mattress frame. Ends of the support wires may be downturned and joined to an end wire.

  • Patent number: 4584727
    Abstract: A sofa bed has a stationary framework and a foldable bed frame connected to and foldable into the framework, the foldable frame having an outer section connected to and pivotal relative to a body section, the outer section overlying the body section in the folded position of the frame to form a seat. The outer section has a plurality of individual seat support elements extending thereacross transversely to the sofa back. The individual elements are spaced apart in a direction parallel to that axis, and each of the individual elements is downwardly deflectable independently of the other when a person sits on said seat, and is arched so that a concavity is formed in the sofa form for the sofa cushions, and as that the mattress is compressed. A spring edge is mounted on and extends above a front rail of the stationary framework to form the front supporting edge of the seat.

  • Patent number: 3968528
    Abstract: A bedstead is disclosed including crossheads between which a woven mat support is stretched. The mat is made of spring steel wire, preferably plastic coated and includes longitudinal wire members having U-shaped ends. Hook rails are carried by the crossheads and have adjacent recesses between which they define V-shaped hook members. One of the hook rails is adjustable so as to tension the mat support. A U-shaped clamping bar is provided into which the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members are fitted. A resilient intermediate layer is positioned between the clamping bar and the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members. The clamping bar is positioned in the V-shaped hook members of the adjustable hook rail such that a clamping force is exerted on the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members by the clamping bar in proportion to tension force applied to the mat support by the adjustable hook rail.
