An armrest structure includes a tubular support, and an armrest having a tubular end telescopingly engaging the tubular support. A support plate engages bottom walls of the tubular support and the tubular end in a laminar arrangement. A clamping bolt slides through a top hole and into aligned holes in the laminar arrangement, with its head abutting the aligned holes. A clamping handle on a bottom of the bolt is rotatable between a clamping position tensioning the bolt to secure the arrangement, and a release position de-tensioning the bolt. By this arrangement, remaining walls of the tubular support and the tubular end are not deformed even when the clamp is clampingly pressing the adjacent sidewall sections together. An adjustable back with actuator handles at a lower edge of the back, and a seat assembly with fingers that retain an upholstery cover tight against concave areas are also shown.

A support pillow comprises a cushion body having a medial region and two opposing arms that define a generally open well, with the cushion body having an outer periphery and an inner periphery adjacent the well. An adjustable suspension system is used to suspend one or more objects above the pillow.

Ladies garment designed to be worn under a brassiere for the purpose of supporting and lifting the breasts and smoothing the appearance of the upper torso and arms, without interfering with the appearance of the brassiere under outerwear. The garment, made primarily from hosiery material, includes tapered sides fastening in front between the breasts with adjustable, releasable fasteners providing adjustable support and lift, and having sub-pectoral support portions disposed in the tapered sides and covering and supporting the lower lateral and bottom portions of the breasts and the sub-pectorals. Garment may additionally include: support portions on the underside of the sleeves at the triceps; and armpit panels made from breathable or moisture-wicking fabric allowing for ventilation and moisture-wicking. To minimize slippage and displacement, the garment is secured to the brassiere straps by cloth strips attached at the shoulder area of the garment.

A head support device which enables a user to comfortably rest in the prone position. The head support device includes a padded member having a generally horse-shoe shape with a top, arcuate sides spaced apart ends, a first inner side wall and a second inner side wall, a first region for supporting the user's face in the frontal sinus area, a second region adjacent to the eye socket and cheek area for supporting the user's face area, and a third region for support along the sides of the user's mandible. The support device also includes a substantially rigid support member for supporting the padded member. The support member has a pair of upstanding splayed outwardly walls which define an air channel for the free exchange of air when the user inhales or exhales. The support member has a plurality of opposing, substantially parallel zones which provide support for the above described support regions of the padded member when the user is lying in the prone position. The padded member is secured to the support member using an attachment method that does not interfere with said padded member conforming to the facial configuration of the user.

A support pillow that comprises a pillow body having a medial region and two curved arms that extend from the medial region to define a generally open well. A back rest extends vertically upward from the medial region. This configuration permits an infant to be placed in the open well, with the curved arms of the pillow body supporting the infant from tipping side to side and the back rest supporting the infant's back. Conveniently, the back rest may be incorporated into a slipcover that is placed over the pillow body.

A support pillow is disclosed which may include a cushion body, a cover and a mat. The cushion body may have a medial region and two opposing arms that define a generally open well, with the cushion body possibly having an outer periphery and an inner periphery adjacent the well. The cover may be disposed over the cushion body such that the cover may conform generally to the shape of the cushion body. The mat may be coupled with at least one of the cushion body and the cover.

An infant support apparatus for supporting an infant lying prone on its torso, configured to aid in soothing the infant and to aid in relieving and reducing the infant's gas pains. The infant support apparatus supports the head of the infant, the torso of the infant, and the legs of the infant such that the infant's head is elevated above its torso and its legs. The infant support apparatus is optionally fire retardant and fire resistant and includes a removable washable cloth cover. Retaining straps are used for holding the infant on the support apparatus. The infant support apparatus is shaped to conform to an underlying surface.

A cooling mattress for supporting and cooling a sunbather while sunbathing includes a number of pads joined by a number of fasteners. Each pad includes a liner defining a cavity and a cooling medium deposited within the cavity. The fasteners interconnect the pads to one another so that the connected pads cooperatively form a surface for supporting a sunbather lying or sitting on the surface of the mattress. The cooling medium cools the sunbather while sunbathing.

The upper body undergarment is designed to be worn under a brassiere to provide support to a user's upper body by supporting a woman's breasts and underarms and constricting the loose parts of the upper body, without interfering with the specific desired appearance of the brassiere under outerwear. The upper body undergarment is made from hosiery material and includes tapered sides having sub-pectoral support portions that lift and support the breasts. The tapered sides are releasably attached to each other. The upper body undergarment may additionally include underarm support portions of the sleeves that are similar to the sub-pectoral support portions, and armpit panels made from breathable fabric attached between the shoulder portions and the sleeves at the armpit areas of the wearer to allow for greater ventilation. Strips of cloth are provided to attach the brassiere straps to the upper body undergarment. The bottom edges of the sleeves and the bottom edge of the torso area, in the front and the back, have extra elasticity for a more secure fit.

A first and second substantially crescent shaped rigid support are provided with substantially crescent shaped pads mounted thereon. A strap is mounted at each end of the supports for holding the supports together at a preselected distance. The supports may be used on a flat surface such as a floor or may be mounted on an independently positioned pair of rails for mounting between a mattress and a box spring by means of posts which are removably received in an opening in the crescent shaped supports and adjustably locked in an opening in each rail. The head support may be utilized on a flat surface such as a floor or beach, or as an extension for a bed for use in the giving of massages. The head support of the present invention may be used on a penetrable surface such as a sandy beach with use of the posts.

An orthopedic wrist splint with an initially generally planar malleable metal core covered by a layer of synthetic foam padding material on each of its opposite sides and protected by an outer cover of fabric. In one embodiment, depending on the orientation of the splint relative to the patient, the splint provides greater or lesser firmness of support when the core is bent to conform the splint to the patient's hand, wrist, and forearm. In another embodiment, a central part of the length of the splint lacks the metal core and is flexible, so that two parts of the splint are easily used on opposite sides of an arm or ankle, with the central part comfortably bent around an elbow or a foot, and with the splint firmly supporting the limb.

A twist exerciser includes a platform rotatably supported on a base, and one or more rotary members rotatably supported in the platform to selectively support feet of users, and to allow the feet of the users to be rotated relative to the platform when the platform is rotated relative to the base. The rotary member may be rotatably supported on a seat of the platform with a pivot pin, and the platform may include a cover having one or more openings to receive the rotary members. One or more belts may apply a resistive force against the platform. A handle may be rotatably supported on the base and coupled to the platform.

A removable adjustable head rest for wheelchairs for providing users of wheelchairs with much needed back and neck support. The headrest includes a hollow cylindrical main portion, a pair of handle sleeves, and a head rest portion.
