Bed Bag

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims benefit to provisional application U.S. 63/440,585 filed on Jan. 23, 2023, and is incorporated in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Modern bedding, whether spring or foam, gradually sags in the middle. Currently only fixed (not inflatable) material is used for sag support, such as putting a stiff board or static foam pad underneath the mattress. As any spring or foam bed ages, these support materials do not respond to sagging. The board support can not be expanded as the bed ages/sags. Past fixes for bed sag are static, have no precision and are not adjustable. Body tolerance for sagging/hammocking is less than ¼ inch before stretching/damage of structural tissues begins!

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This product corrects a sagging bed by inflating an airbag with a foam board overlay placed under the mattress on top of the foundation. All modern bedding, whether spring or foam or combination of both, gradually sags in the middle.

By placing an inflatable airbag with a foam board overlay underneath a mattress, the sagging is corrected. This product includes a hand-held air pump and 3 independently inflatable air zones between the foundation and the mattress and inflating it to appropriate levels, the sagging is corrected. The claimed invention differs from that which currently exists. Currently no one is using an air bag to correct the sagging of bedding. This air bag is adjustable and long lasting.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 illustrates a body sleeping on one side, one of the body's arms is supporting the body's head. The body's top knee is forward for support of the torso of the body. This body is perfectly aligned such that the spine is straight from head to pelvis.

FIG. 2 on the top illustrates a body sleeping on one side where the body is not perfectly aligned from head to toe but rather sinks and sags in the middle. FIG. 2 on the bottom illustrates the support Bed Bag, BB, gives the mattress, alleviating the sagging problem and providing the sleeping person lumbar support, around the hips and lower back, to perfectly align the person from head to toe.

FIG. 3 illustrates the Bed Bag air zones lying on the foundation of a bed, while the mattress is raised up on its side, exposing the foundation with the Bed Bag in place.

FIG. 4 illustrates the air pump connected via three air valves to the air hoses.

FIG. 5 illustrates one of the three air zones shown in FIG. 3, filled by the air pump shown in FIG. 4, with an amount of air (2-3 inches).

FIG. 6 illustrates the Bed Bag with foam board overlay. The foam board lies on top of the Bed Bag and the mattress lies on top of the foam board Bed Bag combination.

FIG. 7 illustrates the Bed Bag with Foam Board overlay to the left, mattress to the right. The foam board lies between the mattress and the BedBag.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 shows what a person must achieve if you intend to maximize sleep quality and live without body pain (from headaches to hip and back issues). The number one health problem in the world(by head count is back and body pain) can be traced to bedding problems. Modern beds are devoted to comfort. Human bodies require support when they are unconscious and/or sleeping.

FIG. 2 on the top illustrates a sagging mattress problem, a person is sleeping on their side and somewhere in the middle of their body around the hip location, their entire body sinks toward the center, disrupting the spinal alignment. FIG. 2 on the bottom shows the benefit that Bed Bag can accomplish by pumping up a bag with air underneath the mattress at exactly the point where the sagging is occurring, and the spine of the person is once again aligned. Bed Bag solved the sagging bed problem.

FIG. 3 illustrates that Bed Bag (BB) arrives completely assembled. Slide it out of the box and spread it out on the floor or on top of a bed or on top of the foundation of a bed, underneath a mattress. One will immediately notice the 3 valves in red, each with a hose assembly. You will use the hoses to fill the air bag zones separately as you lay on the bed.

FIG. 4 illustrates the air pump connected via three red air valves to the air hoses. The air pump will be attached to the end of each hose to fill the individual zones of air bags. Read the instructions for operating the air pump. You will open or close the air hoses with the red air valve switch for inflating/deflating or sealing the air bags, as needed.

FIG. 5 returns to FIG. 3, where there are three air sacs lying supine and adjacent on the foundation of the bed, underneath the mattress, which is raised up on it's edge, exposing the area underneath the mattress. Using the air pump shown in FIG. 4, inflate all three air sac zones to about 2 to 3 inches in height at the body of the bag, filling the air sacs evenly to about 2-3 inches up from the foundation. This is the inflation level before setting the mattress on top of the BedBag. The inflation process will continue after you locate the BedBag and the foam board under your mattress. FIG. 5 denotes how much to inflate the air bag zones before placement under the mattress. The air bag zone pictured here has enough air.
