Abstract
A pad has an inverted U-shaped upper edge and a linear lower edge. A large pillow in an inverted U-shaped configuration is coupled to the pad adjacent to the periphery. Connectors are coupled to the pad and large pillow. Each connector has a first end with a fastener adjacent to the coupling point between the connector and the pad and a second end with a co-acting fastener whereby the connectors may form strap holding loops.
Claims4
An oxygen mask support system for increasing the comfort of oxygen supply to a patient comprising, in combination:
- a pad having a periphery and an inverted U-shaped upper edge and a horizontal linear lower edge adapted to be positioned behind the head of a patient, the pad being fabricated of an inner layer and an outer layer of flexible fabric with a plurality of spaced oval small pillows there between and with the layers of fabric attached together between the small pillows, the pillows extending vertically between the inverted U-shaped upper edge and the horizontal linear lower edge of the pad;
- a large pillow in an inverted U-shaped configuration corresponding to the upper edge of the pad and having an interior large oval of foam and an exterior fabric layer there around, the exterior fabric layer being permanently coupled to the pad on the interior layer adjacent to the periphery of the pad adjacent to the upper extent of the large oval but uncoupled adjacent to lower extents of the large oval;
- an upper pair of connectors coupled to the outer layer aligned with the large pillow at a location above a horizontal mid-point of the large pillow and a lower pair of connectors coupled to the outer layer aligned with the large pillow at a location below the horizontal mid-point of the large pillow, each of the connectors having a first end with a snap adjacent to a coupling point between the connector and the inner layer and a second end with a co-acting snap whereby the connectors may form strap holding loops;
- and
- an oxygen mask with straps selectively received in a selected pair of loops for thereby increasing the comfort of a patient during use.
