Description

Title of the invention: Secure Holding Device, for Cushions.

[0001] Technical field: Cushion positioning devices. Previous technique

[0002] In hospital or medical settings, cushions are readily available. These items, essential for patient comfort and well-being, are frequently lost or disappear. This is particularly true in emergency and imaging departments where patients are transferred for various examinations, or during ambulance transfers and other transport. This disrupts patient positioning and results in material and financial losses for healthcare facilities. Technical solution:

[0003] The present invention aims to solve this problem by providing: A secure cushion retention device in the form of a two-part kit. The device consists of a cushion cover, designed to hold the cushion, sewn to a strap equipped with flat eyelets, representing part 1. This strap is attached by means of a magnetic key to a second adjustable strap, representing part 2 of the device. This strap, with an adjustment buckle, is equipped with eyelet bands and flat eyelets. The flexible strap allows the device to be attached, using a second magnet, to the structures of stretchers, examination tables, or chairs thanks to its flexibility. Benefits provided:

[0004] The advantage of this invention is that it secures the cushions using an anti-theft system. This ensures the continuous availability of a cushion dedicated to patient comfort. The strap allows the cushion to be easily moved during the examination or used to support the head or a limb requiring relief. The invention addresses a genuine need in emergency medical services and warrants patent protection.
