Abstract

An upper body support device with a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall, a central axis, and an outer edge. The support device further contains a first support area, a second support area, and twin third support areas. The second support area includes a cross element. A bridge area links the first support area and the second support area along the central axis. A width of the first support area and a width of the second support area are substantially greater than the width of the bridge area. There are two extensions emanating from the cross element, leading to a third support area, to lift the lower torso at the anterior superior iliac spine protrusions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An upper body support device, comprising:
 a shaped layer of a soft, spongy material having a substantially contiguous top support surface, a substantially contiguous bottom surface, a convex sidewall joining said top and bottom surfaces and a central axis, and wherein said upper body support device is substantially minor symmetric about a plane through said central axis; and
 wherein said shaped layer comprises:
 a substantially symmetrical, upper chest support region situated at a top end of said upper body support device and having a mid chest support area recessed with respect to a first corner support region located in a vicinity of a left end of the upper chest support and a second corner support region located in a vicinity of a right end of the upper chest support; 
 a substantially symmetric, lower rib support region extending laterally to the left and right beyond the corresponding ends of said upper chest support; and connected to said upper chest support by a sternum bone sport region, oriented along the central axis and shaped so as to form two breast cutouts on either side of said sternum bone support region; and 
 two hip support extensions located in a vicinity of a bottom of said upper body support device and wherein said hip support extensions are mirrors of each other about a plane along the central axis and are separated by an abdominal recess region and joined to said lower rib support region in a vicinity of the left and right outer regions of said lower rib support region. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The body support device of  claim 1 , wherein said hip support extensions contain a wide area and a narrow area, said narrow area connecting said hip support extensions to said lower rib support region. 
     
     
         3 . The body support device of  claim 1  wherein said substantially contiguous bottom surface substantially identical in shape to said top support surface. 
     
     
         4 . The body support device of  claim 3 , further comprising an inner edge, said inner edge running along an inner side of said extensions, and said inner edge running along a rear facet of said lower rib support region. 
     
     
         5 . The body support device of  claim 4 , wherein said inner edge is beveled. 
     
     
         6 . The body support device of  claim 1 , further comprising a recess, said recess disposed in a frontal portion of said upper chest support. 
     
     
         7 . The body support device of  claim 1 , further comprising a lower recessed area, said lower recessed area framed by said hip support extensions and said lower rib support region. 
     
     
         8 . The body support device of  claim 1 , wherein said upper chest support is narrower than said lower rib support region. 
     
     
         9 . The body support device of  claim 4 , wherein said outer edge is elliptical. 
     
     
         10 . A body support device comprising:
 a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall, a central axis, and an outer edge;   a first support area;   a second support area, said second support area having a cross element;   a bridge area, said bridge area linking said first support area and said second support area along said central axis;   a width of said first support area and said second support area substantially greater than the width of said bridge area;   at least one extension emanating from said cross element, said at least one extension running parallel to said central axis; and   a lower recessed area, said lower recessed area framed by said extension and said cross member.   
     
     
         11 . The body support device of  claim 10 , further comprising a recess, said recess disposed in a frontal portion of said first support area. 
     
     
         12 . The body support device of  claim 10 , further comprising at least two extensions, said extensions issuing from distal ends of said cross element and running substantially opposite each other. 
     
     
         13 . The body support device of  claim 10 , wherein said extension contains a third support area and a narrow area. 
     
     
         14 . The body support device of  claim 13 , further comprising an inner edge, said inner edge running along an inner side of said extension, and said inner edge running along a rear facet of said cross element. 
     
     
         15 . The body support device of  claim 14 , wherein said inner edge is beveled. 
     
     
         16 . The body support device of  claim 10 , wherein said first support area is narrower than said second support area. 
     
     
         17 . The body support device of  claim 10 , wherein said first support area, said second support area and said bridge area form side cutouts.
