The present invention relates to a pad assembly including a air-filled base and two liquid-filled parts which respectively support user's body and hip and two feet of the user is rested on a swinging exerciser. [0001]
A conventional air-filled pad is generally composed of a plurality of hollow tubular parts which are filled with air so that these tubular parts can be assembled as a large area of pad. The air is compressible so that when a user lies on the pad, the heavier upper body applies a larger load to the pad than the lower body so that the air is squeezed toward the lower body and the head of the user is lower than the feet. The user feels uncomfortable because the blood flows to the head which is located lower than the feet. The conventional pad cannot provide a good sleep quality to the users. [0002]
The present invention intends to provide a pad assembly which includes a air-filled base and two liquid-filled pads which are rested on two recesses on the base and respectively support the user's body and hip. The feet of the user are swung by a swinging exerciser so that the user's body receives cool and comfortable movement. [0003]
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pad assembly which comprises a base having a first bladder and a second bladder connected to a top of the base. Each of the base, the first bladder and the second bladder has an air inlet of their own. A first part is rested in a recessed area in the first bladder and a second part is rested in a recessed area in the second bladder. Each of the first part and the second part is filled with liquid. [0004]
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.[0005]
FIG. 1 is an exploded view to show the base and two parts of the present invention; [0006]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view to show the two parts are put on the base of the present invention, and [0007]
FIG. 3 shows the base is put on a frame and a user lies on the two parts and the feet of the user are rested on the swinging exerciser.[0008]
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the pad assembly of the present invention comprises a base [0009] 10 having a first bladder 12 and a second bladder 13 connected to a top of the base 10. Each of the base 10, the first bladder 12 and the second bladder 13 has an inlet 11/121/131 of their own so as to fill air therein. The length of the fist bladder 12 is longer than that of the second bladder 13 and the air filled in the two bladders 12, 13 are controlled to form a recessed area 122/132 in a top of each of the first bladder 12 and the second bladder 13.
A first part [0010] 20 is rested in the recessed area 122 in the first bladder 12 and a second part 20′ rested in the recessed area 132 in the second bladder 12. Each of the first part 20 and the second part 20′ has a liquid inlet 21/21′ so as to fill liquid therein. A plurality of far infra-red plates 22, 22′ are connected to the first part 20 and the second part 20′, and each of the first part 20 and the second part 20′ further includes anti-slippery surface 23/23′ so as to be well positioned in the recessed areas 122, 132.
As shown in FIG. 3, the base [0011] 10 is put on a frame 100 which has an extended section so that a swinging exerciser 20 o is put on the extended section which is located in an opposite end of the base 10 on the frame 10. A user lies on the base 10 and the two parts 20, 20′, wherein the first part 20 supports the body of the user and the second part 20′ supports the hip of the user. The two feet are rested on the swinging exerciser 200 so that the swinging waves the body of the user and the cool two parts 20, 20′ provide the user a good and cozy feeling. The far infra-red plates 22, 22′ enhance the circulation of blood of the user.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [0012]
