ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a beach pillow. More specifically, this invention relates to an inflatable beach pillow having compartments for sand and water, useful to weigh down the pillow so that it will not blow away in the wind.
An inflatable beach pillow having a pocket adapted to be filled with sand and having straps to attach it to a chair is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,815,154 issued Mar. 28, 1989 to Grimes. The Grimes patent uses sand as a weighting material and therefore would be of limited use at a swimming pool where there is no sand.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,928,336 issued May 29, 1990 to Petillo also shows an inflatable headrest with a zippered compartment for receiving weighting material such as wallets, keys, suntan lotion, and in some cases, sand.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,217,116 issued Apr. 17, 2001 to Sloot discloses an inflatable pillow attached to a pocket shaped slipcover designed to fit over the back of a chair, but having no means to use it as a weighted beach pillow.
One object of the present invention is to provide a beach pillow which serves as a weighted inflatable pillow, which may be used either on the beach or in environments such as a pool where sand or similar weighting material is not available.
Another object of the invention is to provide an inflatable pillow, which may either be used as a weighted pillow or as a head rest on the back of a chair.
Another object is to provide an inflatable beach pillow which satisfies multiple needs and is economical to produce.
