Abstract
A pillow construction for mounting and positioning adjacent a side rotating wall of an associated child car seat that includes an elongate tubular cushioned member mounting a pillow member at its upper terminal end. A modification of the invention includes the use of straps and clip members mounted to terminal ends of the straps for securement of the straps to the car seat organization. The flexible tube may be formed of separate pneumatic chambers, each employing an individual inflation valve.
Claims1
A child car seat pillow construction for use in combination with a car seat, wherein the car seat includes a generally horizontal seat member fixed mounted to a vertical back support member, and
- the seat member and the back support member defining a generally "L" shaped member that includes a right side and a left side, wherein right side includes a right side retainer wall and the left side includes a left side retainer wall, and
- the pillow construction includes an elongate deformable flexible tube member, the tube member includes a tube upper end, and the tube upper end orthogonally has mounted thereto a cushion pillow member, and
- wherein the pillow member includes a right side and a left side, wherein the right side includes at least one flexible strap and the left side includes at least one further flexible strap, and each flexible strap includes a clip mounted thereto to permit securement of each clip to the car seat and to the individual mounted within the car seat, and each clip includes a plurality of spring-biased jaws normally biased together in a closed configuration, and
- wherein the cushion pillow member is defined by an inflatable bladder, the inflatable bladder includes an inflation valve mounted at an end thereof to permit inflation of the inflation bladder to a desired pressure, and
- wherein the inflatable bladder includes a first hook and loop fastener surface mounted to a bottom surface of the inflatable bladder, and the flexible tube includes a plurality of pneumatic chambers, and
- wherein the plurality of pneumatic chambers includes a top pneumatic chamber, a medial chamber, and a bottom pneumatic chamber, the top pneumatic chamber includes a second hook and loop fastener surface formed at each end thereof, and the top pneumatic chamber is securable to the first hook and loop fastener surface formed to the bottom surface of the inflatable bladder, and
- wherein the top pneumatic chamber and the medial pneumatic chamber include a respective first upper and first lower lateral belt orthogonally mounted thereto, and each lateral belt includes a belt hook and loop fastener surface formed at a free terminal end of each lateral belt, and further including further cushion pillow member, and a further top pneumatic chamber, a further medial pneumatic chamber and a further pneumatic chamber mounted to the further cushion pillow member, and the further top pneumatic chamber including a second upper lateral belt, the further medial pneumatic chamber including a second lower lateral belt, wherein the second upper and lower lateral belts each include a belt hook and loop fastener surface mounted at a free terminal end thereof to permit securement of the first upper lateral belt to the second upper lateral belt to define a generally "H" shaped pillow construction member.
