ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket and more particularly pertains to adding enjoyment and entertainment to people at the beach.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of blankets and pillows of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, blankets and pillows of known designs and configurations heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of intercoupling pillows and blankets through known methods and apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. Des. 390,408 to Kology et al. discloses a Round Sporting Ball Towel. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 366,064 to Milojevich discloses a Display Stand. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 293,060 to Botbol discloses a Circular Towel. U.S. Pat. No. 4,856,912 to Damus et al. discloses a Combination Beach Towel and Tote Bag.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe an inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket as described herein.
In this respect, the inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of adding enjoyment and entertainment to people at the beach.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket which can be used for adding enjoyment and entertainment to people at the beach. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of blankets and pillows of known designs and configurations now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket for beach use as described herein comprises, in combination a pillow. The pillow is in a generally circular configuration and has an upper surface and a lower surface. The pillow also has three inflatable sections including a circular interior section, an enlarged annular radially exterior section and an annular intermediate section therebetween. Each of the sections are individually inflatable. Also included is a separately inflatable arcuate section. The arcuate section is formed in the exterior section and extends for about ninety degrees of its extent. The arcuate section is adapted to constitute a head pillow when inflated with an inwardly sloping upper surface each of the inflatable sections having an individual valve. Yet another component of the system is a blanket. The blanket is in a circular configuration and is adapted to be positioned on the upper surface of the pillow. The exterior surface of the blanket is formed with a plurality of concentric rings. The rings constitute scoring sections with indicia of “20” on the outermost section, “50” on the innermost section and with “40” and “30” at the sections adjacent thereto. Also included in the system is a plurality of pile-type fasteners. The pile-type fasteners are coupled to the lower surface of the blanket and a plurality of pile-type fasteners are coupled to the upper surface of the pillow for the releasable coupling therebetween to allow removal between the pillow and blanket. Lastly provided is a plurality of recesses. The recesses are formed in the outermost ring of the pillow and are essentially diametrically opposed to the arcuate section with a rectangular recess and a cover patch removably secured thereover by a pile-type fastener for supporting suntan lotion and a saturated pad and a cylindrical recess thereadjacent for the receipt of a beverage container.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket which has all of the advantages of the prior art blankets and pillows of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket which is of durable and reliable constructions.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such Inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket for Adding enjoyment and entertainment to people at the beach.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved inflatable beach pillow system with an attachable blanket including a pillow in a generally circular configuration. The pillow has an upper surface and a lower surface and a plurality of inflatable sections. The sections include a circular interior section, an enlarged annular radially exterior section and at least one annular intermediate section therebetween. Each of the sections are individually inflatable. A separately inflatable arcuate section is formed in the exterior section and extends for about ninety degrees of its extent. The arcuate section is adapted to constitute a head pillow when inflated with an inwardly sloping upper surface each of the inflatable sections having an individual valve. A blanket is provided in a circular configuration a
