Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional
Patent Application Ser. No. 61/650,611, filed on May 23, 2012, the
contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in their
entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to an inflatable cushion that
is structured with a non-slip top and bottom in the shape and size
of a pillow.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention is directed to an inflatable cushion
structured with a non-slip top and bottom, in the shape and size of
a pillow. The cushion contains specialized internal gusset sections
to provide an even inflation thereby avoiding ballooning.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0004] FIG. 1 is a top view of the cushion;
[0005] FIG. 2 is an internal side view for an image of the internal
gusset design; and
[0006] FIG. 3 shows the pillow in an existing case.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an
inflatable cushion is structured with a non-slip top and bottom
(see FIG. 1 for a top view), in the shape and size of a pillow,
along with specialized internal gusset sections to provide even
inflation and to avoid ballooning. See FIG. 2 (Internal Side View)
for an image of the internal gusset design (see FIG. 3 for a view
of the internal gusset structure). The inflatable cushion is to
supplement existing pillow products, through insertion into a
pillow case below the existing pillow product (see Fig C). The
cushion is usable for providing a variable level of support,
essentially allowing the user to adjust any pillow to a comfortable
height and firmness. The cushion can also be used standalone.
[0008] In general, the foregoing description is provided for
exemplary and illustrative purposes; the present invention is not
necessarily limited thereto. Rather, those skilled in the art will
appreciate that additional modifications, as well as adaptations
for particular circumstances, will fall within the scope of the
invention as herein shown and described.
