BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure and prior art relates to support devices and more particularly pertains to a new support device for mounting a lumbar pillow on a chair.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a chair that has a backrest. The backrest has a forward side. At least one lumbar pillow is provided. A slip cover is provided. The slip cover is selectively positioned over the backrest. The slip cover has a plurality of pockets. The at least one lumbar pillow is positioned in a selected one of the pockets. Thus, the lumbar pillow may support lumbar vertebrae.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 6, the lumbar support system10generally comprises a chair12that has a backrest14. The backrest14has a forward side16. The chair12may be an office chair12or the like. At least one lumbar pillow18is provided.

A slip cover20is provided. The slip cover20is selectively positioned over the backrest14. The slip cover20has a plurality of pockets22. The at least one lumbar pillow18is positioned in a selected one of the pockets22. Thus, the lumbar pillow18may support lumbar vertebrae.

The slip cover20has a top wall24and an outer wall26extending downwardly from the top wall24. The outer wall26has a front side28, a first lateral side30and a second lateral side32. The outer wall26has a distal edge34with respect to the top wall24. The distal edge34defines an opening36into the slip cover20. The backrest14is extended into the opening36having the front side28of the cover positioned on the forward side16of the backrest14.

The outer wall26has a first cut38extending upwardly from the distal edge34. The first cut38may be positioned on the first lateral side30of the slip cover20. The outer wall26has a second cut40extending upwardly from the distal edge34. The second cut40may be positioned on the second lateral side32of the slip cover20.

Each of the pockets22is coupled to the front side28of the cover. Each of the pockets22has a top edge41. The top edge41of each of the pockets22defines an opening36into the pockets22. The plurality of pockets22includes a first pocket42, a second pocket44and a third pocket46. The first pocket42surrounds the second pocket44. The second pocket44surrounds the third pocket46.

The first pocket42has an aperture48extending therethrough. A power cord may be extended through the aperture48. The power cord may be a power cord for a heating pad or the like. The heating pad may be positioned in the first pocket42. The heating pad may be an electric heating pad or the like.

A plurality of elastic members52is provided. Each of the elastic members52is coupled to an associated one of the pockets22. Each of the elastic members52is coextensive with the top edge41of the associated pocket22. Each of the elastic members52is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material.

In use, the slip cover20is positioned over the backrest14of the chair12. The at least one lumbar pillow18is positioned in a selected one of the second44and third46pockets. Thus, the lumbar pillow18supports lumbar vertebrae when a user sits in the chair12. The heating pad may be positioned on the first pocket42. The power cord for the heating pad may be extended through the aperture48. Thus, the heating pad may provide therapeutic heat for the lumbar vertebrae.
