Elbow pillow

Apparatus for distributing loads in the crook of a user's arm to avoid impeding blood circulation on placement of a load at the crook of the arm and without restricting elbow movement, said apparatus comprising in combination:

• (a) a first sheet of flexible material;
• (b) a second sheet of flexible material;
• (c) stuffing disposed intermediate said first and second sheets of material, said stuffing being divided into two segregated divisions;
• (d) means extending about the perimeter of said first and second sheets of material for enclosing the two divisions of said stuffing therebetween;
• (e) means for securing said first and second sheets of material against one another intermediate the divisions of said stuffing and transverse to said apparatus to form two parts of said apparatus flexibly juxtaposed with one another by said two sheets of material;
• (f) first strap means attached to one of the parts of said apparatus for encircling the user's forearm;
• and
• (g) second strap means attached to another of the parts of said apparatus for encircling the user's upper arm, said first and second strap means operating in concert to maintain continuingly during use of said apparatus and securing means positionally coincident with the crook of the arm to permit flexing of said apparatus commensurate with bending of the arm;
• whereby, said apparatus is retainable adjacent the crook of a user's arm by said first and second straps to cushion the crook of the arm and distribute any loads placed thereon and without impeding blood circulation or restricting elbow movement.
