Abstract
Weight restraining pillow has a filled outer perimeter area encompassing a central sling area. The sling is defined in part by two generally parallel outer seams adjacent the outer perimeter, and an inner seam located between the outer seams which help hold the fill of the perimeter in place. When a weighted object is placed on the sling, the perimeter is drawn inward toward the object placed therein.
Claims16
A weight activated restraining pillow comprising:
- a cushion having a padded region and an unpadded region, the padded region generally surrounding the unpadded region;
- a first longitudinal seam defining a first side of the unpadded region, a second longitudinal seam defining a second side of the unpadded region, and a third longitudinal seam located centrally within the unpadded region, wherein the third longitudinal seam is spaced approximately halfway between, and extends parallel to, both the first longitudinal seam and the second longitudinal seam, and the third longitudinal seam is longer than the first longitudinal seam and the second longitudinal seam, wherein a weighted object placed centrally within the unpadded region draws the first longitudinal seam and second longitudinal seam inwards toward one another.
A weight activated restraining pillow comprising:
- a peripheral cushion area including a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are substantially parallel and extend between the top and the bottom;
- fill material located within the peripheral cushion area;
- a central sling holding area located inside of the peripheral cushion area and devoid of the fill material, the central sling holding area defined in part by a first seam extending substantially parallel to the first side and a second seam extending substantially parallel to the second side, a third seam located centrally within the sling approximately halfway between, and extending substantially parallel to, both the first seam and the second seam, the third seam is longer than the first seam and the second seam, wherein the first seam and the second seam separate the sling from the cushion so that when a weighted object is received into the sling, the first side and the second side of the cushion area draw inward toward the weighted object within the sling.
A weight activated restraining pillow comprising:
- a cushion having a padded region and an unpadded region, the padded region generally surrounding the unpadded region;
- a first longitudinal seam defining a first side of the unpadded region and a second longitudinal seam defining a second side of the unpadded region, the unpadded region has a curved bottom contour between the first longitudinal seam and the second longitudinal seam, a third longitudinal seam located centrally within the unpadded region, the third longitudinal seam is spaced approximately halfway between, and extends parallel to, both the first longitudinal seam and the second longitudinal seam, and the third longitudinal seam is longer than the first longitudinal seam and the second longitudinal seam, wherein a weighted object placed centrally within the unpadded region draws the first longitudinal seam and second longitudinal seam inwards toward one another, wherein the weighted object has a spinal column aligned by receipt into the unpadded region.
