Patent ID: 11083305

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of mounting an inflatable headboard assembly to a horizontal plane (e.g., a bed) without using a fixed mechanical fastening. The headboard assembly may assume various shapes, sizes, and/or styles while affording easy assembly and storage. The inflatable headboard assembly does not require permanent modification to its surrounding area. Rather, the inflatable headboard assembly is simply inflated to various heights that conform to the existing dimensions of the surrounding environment. The inflatable headboard assembly can be mounted to various locations of a bed without requiring additional equipment, and deflated for compact storage. The inflatable headboard assembly may include an inflatable footboard counterpart similar to the inflatable headboard assembly but smaller in scale. In addition, the inflatable headboard assembly may include lights for illuminating portions of the headboard, and/or visual markers for receiving augmented reality overlay.
