Abstract
A bed extension device for use with a conventional bed having a mattress and box springs includes a head support element having a generally planar top portion and a side portion, wherein the top portion includes a hole therein and wherein the side portion is joined to the top portion at a substantially right angle; an insert element having a horizontal portion for insertion between the mattress and the box springs and a vertical portion extending at a substantially right angle therefrom; and a fastener for securing the side portion of the head support element to the vertical portion of the insert element to provide a desired alignment between the upper surface of the mattress and the top portion.
Claims12
A bed extension device for use with a conventional bed having a mattress with an upper surface and box springs, comprising:
- a head support element having a planar, substantially solid top portion and a planar, solid side portion, wherein said top portion includes a hole therein and wherein said side portion is joined to said top portion at a substantially right angle;
- an insert element having a planar, solid horizontal portion for insertion between the mattress and the box springs and a planar, solid vertical portion extending at a substantially right angle therefrom;
- a fastener for securing said side portion of said head support element to said vertical portion of said insert element to provide a desired alignment between the upper surface of the mattress and said top portion;
- and
- a substantially U-shaped cushion for placement about said hole and fasteners for securing said cushion thereabout.
A bed extension device for use with a conventional bed having a mattress with an upper surface and box springs, comprising:
- a head support element having a planar, substantially solid top portion and a planar, solid side portion, wherein said top portion includes a hole therein and wherein said side portion is joined to said top portion along one edge thereof at a substantially right angle, wherein said hole is generally conformal to the contour of an adult, human face;
- an insert element having a planar, solid horizontal portion for insertion between the mattress and the box springs and a planar, solid vertical portion extending at a substantially right angle from one side of said horizontal portion;
- fasteners for securing the side portion of said head support element to said vertical portion of said insert element to provide a desired alignment between the upper surface of the mattress and said top portion;
- and
- a substantially U-shaped cushion for placement about said hole and fasteners for securing said cushion thereabout, wherein said cushion is constructed and arranged to surround said hole about a majority of the periphery thereof.
A bed extension device for use with a conventional bed having a mattress with an upper surface and box springs, comprising:
- a head support element having a planar, substantially solid top portion and a planar, solid side portion, wherein said top portion comprises a first parallel surface and includes a hole therein and wherein said side portion is joined to said top portion along one edge thereof at a substantially right angle, wherein said side portion includes a set of bores therein;
- an insert element having a planar, solid horizontal portion, which comprises a second parallel surface, for insertion between the mattress and the box springs and a planar, solid vertical portion extending at a substantially right angle from one side of said horizontal portion, wherein said vertical portion includes multiple sets of threaded bores therein;
- threaded fasteners for securing the side portion of said head support element to said vertical portion of said insert element to provide a desired alignment between the upper surface of the mattress and said top portion, wherein said threaded fasteners are receivable in one of said multiple sets of threaded bores to provide a predetermined spacing between said first parallel surface and said second parallel surface;
- and
- a substantially U-shaped cushion for placement about said hole and fasteners for securing said cushion thereabout, wherein said cushion is constructed and arranged to surround said hole about a majority of the periphery thereof and is sized to be located within the margins of said top portion.
