Behlen - Web page: https://patentgrep.com/patent/US10306991B2 ## CPC - A47C 7/52: of detachable type - A47C: CHAIRS; SOFAS; BEDS ## Abstract A travel leg restraint may include a single elongate member. The single elongate member may include a first upwardly facing concave contour about a first axis and dimensioned to receive a first leg of a user, a second upwardly facing concave contour about a second axis and dimensioned to receive a second leg of a user and a spacing wall between the first concave contour and the second concave contour so as to extend between the first leg and the second leg of the user. The travel leg restraint may further include at least one top strap secured to opposite ends of the elongate member to extend across and span the first concave contour and the second concave contour, wherein the strap has an adjustable length. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A travel leg restraint comprising: a single elongate member comprising: a first upwardly facing concave contour about a first axis and dimensioned to receive a first leg of a user; a second upwardly facing concave contour about a second axis and dimensioned to receive a second leg of a user; and a spacing wall between the first concave contour and the second concave contour so as to extend between the first leg and the second leg of the user; and at least one top strap secured to opposite ends of the elongate member to extend across and span the first concave contour and the second concave contour, the strap having an adjustable length, wherein the at least one top strap comprises a single strap and wherein the at least one connector comprises a loop member secured to the spacing wall and through which the at least one top strap extends. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1 further comprising at least one connector connecting the at least one top strap directly to the spacing wall between the first concave contour and the second concave contour. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1, wherein the elongate body comprises a bendable foam. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1, wherein the at least one top strap comprises a hook and loop fastener to facilitate adjustment of the length of the strap. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1, wherein the single elongate member has a bottom surface that is W-shaped. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1, wherein the single elongate member has a thickness of at least 1 inch and wherein the at least one strap has a thickness of no greater than 0.25 inches. ### Claim 7 A travel leg restraint comprising: a single elongate member comprising: a first upwardly facing concave contour about a first axis and dimensioned to receive a first leg of a user; a second upwardly facing concave contour about a second axis and dimensioned to receive a second leg of a user; and a spacing wall between the first concave contour and the second concave contour so as to extend between the first leg and the second leg of the user; and at least one top strap secured to opposite ends of the elongate member to extend across and span the first concave contour and the second concave contour, the strap having an adjustable length; a first bottom wall, a second bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the first bottom wall extends between and connects the spacing wall and the first side wall to form the first concave contour, wherein the second bottom wall extends between and connects the spacing wall and the second side wall to form the second concave contour. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The travel leg restraint of claim 7 comprising a recess underlying the spacing wall. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The travel leg restraint of claim 7, wherein the spacing wall has a first degree of stretchability and wherein the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall have a second degree of stretchability less than the first degree of stretchability. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The travel leg restraint of claim 9, wherein the spacing wall has a first material composition and wherein the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall have a second material composition different than the first material composition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The travel leg restraint of claim 9 further comprising a bottom strap secured to the single elongate member proximate the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall, the bottom strap extending across and beneath the first bottom wall, the spacing wall and the second bottom wall to restrict stretching of the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The travel leg restraint of claim 7, wherein the spacing wall, the first side wall and the second side wall each have a first degree of stretchability and wherein the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall have a second degree of stretchability less than the first degree of stretchability. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The travel leg restraint of claim 12, wherein the spacing wall, the first side wall and the second sidewall each have a first material composition and wherein the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall have a second material composition different than the first material composition. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The travel leg restraint of claim 12 further comprising a bottom strap secured to the single elongate member proximate the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall, the second strap extending across and beneath the first bottom wall, the spacing wall and the second bottom wall to restrict stretching of the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The travel leg restraint of claim 1 further comprising a bottom strap having opposite ends secured to opposite sides of the single elongate member, the bottom strap continuously extending beneath the first concave contour and the second concave contour. ### Claim 16 A travel leg restraint comprising: a first side wall; a second sidewall; a spacer wall between the first side wall and the second sidewall; a collapsible bottom panel connected to the first side wall, the second sidewall and the spacer wall; and at least one top strap secured to the first side wall and the second sidewall to extend across and span a first leg receiving cavity between the first side wall and the spacer wall and a second leg receiving cavity between the second sidewall and the spacer wall, the strap having an adjustable length. ### Claim 17 A travel leg restraint comprising: a first side wall; a second sidewall; a spacer wall between the first side wall and the second sidewall; a bottom strap connected to the first side wall, the second sidewall and the spacer wall; and at least one top strap secured to the first side wall and the second sidewall to extend across and span a first leg receiving cavity between the first side wall and the spacer wall and a second leg receiving cavity between the second sidewall and the spacer wall, the strap having an adjustable length. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The travel leg restraint of claim 17, wherein the bottom strap has an adjustable length. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The travel leg restraint of claim 17, wherein the bottom strap is substantially unstretchable. ### Claim 20 (depends on 7) The travel leg restraint of claim 7, wherein the elongate body comprises a bendable foam.
