A prayer cushion for use during Islamic ritual prayers to reduce pain and black marks on an individual's knees and ankles comprises a generally rectangular pad of hollow polyester fibers with a soft cotton layer on top of the hollow polyester fibers. The pad has a width of about 50 cm, a length of 25 to about 50 cm and an thickness of about 14 cm. The pad also defines two relatively short longitudinally extending floor engaging channels extending from a rear edge of the cushion and is adapted to receive a portion of an individual's foot therein. The channels also have a height of about 8 cm and width of about 12 cm and extend for a length that will accommodate a portion of an individual's foot.

A gripper foundation is disclosed comprising a conventional mattress foundation which is encased within foundation upholstery. The foundation upholstery contains a sheet material which covers the entire top surface of the foundation, the sheet material having a raised pattern printed thereon which creates a high coefficient of friction with the bottom of a mattress surface or a bed sheet contained therebetween. The raised pattern may cover the entire top surface of the foundation, only a portion of the top surface, such as the perimeter portion, or other alternate configurations. The raised pattern may also take on a variety of patterns such as a plurality of diagonal lines, a plurality of straight lines, a plurality of diamonds or squares, or any other such pattern. The gripper foundation eliminates the need for any type of mechanical bed sheet retainer or additional pad or frictional surface which is to be positioned between a foundation and mattress.

A shoulder immobilizer (20) includes a semi-rigid or rigid orthosis, in the form of an arm support (22), which supports the upper arm, elbow, forearm and wrist of a patient. A bolster (24) is positioned between the patient and the arm support (22). A body strap (26) extends around the patient and attaches to the arm support (22) and/or the bolster (24), holding the arm support and bolster in position against the body of the patient. In embodiments, the shoulder immobilizer (20) may utilize a shoulder strap (28), but such a shoulder strap is not necessary for shoulder immobilization of the patient.
摘要:
A zoned mattress including at least a head firmness zone, a leg firmness zone between the head and leg firmness zones overlaid by a knit top fabric knit from threads of at least two different colors to define three different firmness indicating areas corresponding to the three firmness zones of the mattress. At least one of the firmness indicating areas is defined by threads differing in color as compared to the color of the threads defining at least one of the two remaining firmness indicating areas.

A furniture unit containing a foldable bed includes: a base including a storage cavity; a seat section; an intermediate section; a head section; and a mechanism having pivotally interconnected links, the mechanism interconnecting the base with the head, intermediate and seat sections. The mechanism controls the movement of the head, intermediate and seat sections between a folded position, in which the head, intermediate and seat sections are generally horizontally disposed and positioned in vertically stacked relationship, with the head section below the intermediate section and the seat section above the intermediate section, the head and intermediate sections being positioned in the cavity of the base, and an unfolded position, in which the head, intermediate and seat sections are horizontally disposed and serially aligned to form a sleeping surface.
摘要:
In the conventional support mechanism capable of supporting the distal end of the leg bottom section at either a high position or a low position in the state where the knee bottom section is pivotally raised, the distal end of the leg bottom section that is set at the high position can be shifted to the low position only in the state where the knee bottom section is kept pivotally raised. If the knee bottom section is pivotally lowered in the state where the distal end of the leg bottom section is set at the low position, the distal end of the leg bottom section is forcedly released from the mechanical engagement for the low position and shifted to the mechanical engagement for the high position.The present invention solves the abovementioned problem by a support mechanism, characterized in that one end of a knee bottom section 2 is supported on a bed frame 1 in such a manner that the knee bottom section can be pivotally raised and lowered, that one end of a leg bottom section 6 is pivotally rotatably connected with the other end of the knee bottom section, that a support stay 7 is pivotally rotatably connected with the underside of the other end of the leg bottom section, that a support means 11 of the support portion 9 provided at the opposite tip of the support stay is provided on the bed frame, that the support means consists of a guide portion 12 and an engaging portion 13 for movably supporting the support portion of the support stay, that said guide portion can support said support portion moved in relation with the pivotal rotation of the knee bottom section within the entire pivotal rotation range of the knee bottom section, and that the engaging portion is provided above or below the vacant portion adjacent to the end portion of the guide portion on which the support portion is located when the knee bottom section is pivotally lowered.
