Pillow with cape

Abstract

A device adapted for use with a furniture seating apparatus having a pillow and a cape attached thereto is provided. The device enables the user of a furniture seating apparatus to maintain a pillow in its desired position against the back of a furniture seating apparatus without having to readjust or reposition it any time the user shifts his position or leaves the furniture seating apparatus. The cape, acting as a counterbalance to the pillow, is attached to the pillow in a manner which allows the cape to be fitted or draped over the top of the back of the furniture seating apparatus.

Description

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]Broadly, the present invention seeks to solve the problem of maintaining a pillow in its desired position against the back of a furniture seating apparatus. To do so, a cape, acting as a counterbalance to the pillow, may be attached to the pillow in a manner which allows the cape to be fitted or draped over the top of the back of the furniture seating apparatus.

[0007]Such a device advantageously provides a pillow that not only can be maintained in its position against the back of the furniture apparatus, but also permits the user of the furniture seating apparatus to adjust or remove the device entirely from the furniture seating device if desired.

Problems solved by technology

However, sometimes, a user of the furniture seating apparatus is not comfortable with the back of the apparatus, or additional support for the head, neck or back of the user is required.

This is particularly true where the back of the furniture seating apparatus is not tall enough to support the neck or head of the user sitting on the furniture seating apparatus.

The problem associated with the use of a pillow in these instances is that the pillow typically will not stay in the desired position against the back of the furniture seating apparatus.

The problem associated with this attempt to resolve the problem is that the pillow is not removable and not adjustable.

There are often users of differing sizes that may wish to use the furniture seating apparatus and, therefore, maintaining the pillow in one position against the back of the furniture seating apparatus may not be satisfactory to all users.

Moreover, some users may desire not to use the pillow at all.
