Problems solved by technology

However, these former designs only offer partial back support.
Also, the thoracic support area of this cushion does not protrude outward enough to fill this space.
This neck support region also lacks enough cushions to adequately provide the neck with a firm contact surface.
Indeed, heretofore-back support cushions can cause a user a number of further complications.
If one uses the back support cushions heretofore vertebrae will misalign, due to lack of spinal support.
If one uses either cushion repeatedly, a user will develop an abnormal spinal curve.
Excessive use of these cushions increase a user's chance of developing pinched nerves.

Embodiment Construction

FIG. 1

[0032]FIG. 1 is a perspective left side view of a back support cushion 10 constructed in accordance with the invention. An upper portion 12 of the cushion has a convex cervical support 24, embodied within the cushion. A middle portion 18 of the cushion has a raised convex thoracic support 14. A lower portion 26 of the cushion has a raised convex lumbar support 16. An upper flat dorsal side 28 of the cushion has a tie string 22, mounted to the top section. The middle flat dorsal side of the cushion has tie strings 20, laterally center mounted to the dorsal section.

Operation—FIG. 1

[0033]In operation one uses the cushion as a back support while in a seated position. Thus, when the cushion is placed behind a user while seated several benefits are obtained:[0034](a) Convex cervical support 24 provides firm surface resistance for neck structures.[0035](b) The raised convex thoracic support 14 and convex lumbar support16 adequately conform to normal spinal curvature thereby, reducing...

Abstract

A portable back support cushion (10) having two securing tie strings (22), and (20). The upper cushion portion (12) has a convex cervical support (24) that adequately supports neck structures. The middle cushion portion (18) has a flat surface with a longitudinal elevated thoracic support (14) that adequately supports mid-section dorsal structures. The lower cushion portion (26) has a flat surface with a longitudinal elevated lumbar support (16) that adequately supports lower dorsal structures.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 936,487, filed 2007 Jun. 21 by the present inventor.FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]Not ApplicableSEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]1. Field of Invention[0005]This invention relates to back support cushions, specifically to such cushions, which are used during sitting positions.[0006]2. Prior Art[0007]Consumers purchase back support cushions to provide back structures with a surface contact. This area of contact disables specific back structures from further moving from a current location.[0008]Indeed, several designs of back support cushions were invented. However, these former designs only offer partial back support. U.S. Pat. No. 4,535,495 to Oldfield (1985) shows a partial back support, which lacks a firm contact surface to support the entire spinal column. Spinal bones usually are about two inches wide and...
