A review of these bedding holders reveal that they are either attached to a bed, fit between a mattress and box spring, fit under a bed or add new design to the traditional blanket or quilt racks and further, are basically designed for bedding. Therefore, there is a need to take into account the large number of decorative pillows used on beds, sofas and chairs in recent times and the recurring problem of temporary storage of these pillows when they must be removed when using beds, sofas or chairs. It is evident that a need remains for provision of a means of holding decorative pillows. The invention disclosed herein solves this and related problems.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
In recent times large quantities of pillows are known to be used as a decorating element in not only bedrooms but living rooms, family rooms, great rooms and dens to enhance the aesthetic value of beds, sofas and chairs. This invention relates to pillow holders for decorative pillows. It is the primary objective of this invention to provide temporary holding devices for pillows when not being used for decorative purposes on beds, sofas and chairs. Many pillows are made from expensive fabrics which, can be damaged without proper care. It is also the objective of this invention to provide holders for pillows to avoid placing the pillows on the floor when using beds, sofas and chairs. When placed on the floor, pillows can get wrinkled or soiled, obstruct a walking path or pose a safety hazard to someone tripping over them. A recurring problem for users of particularly beds and often sofas and chairs involves temporary storage of decorative pillows. The necessity of temporary storage of pillows is common as many pillows are for decorative use only and must be removed when using the beds, sofas or chairs.
In terms of broad inclusion, the invention described and illustrated herein comprises devices holding decorative pillows when beds sofas and chairs are being used. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use for pillows, blankets, spreads, quilts sofa throws, comforters and sheets as well as other accessories.
Having now described this invention, it will be apparent that many changes and modifications can be made by anyone of ordinary skill so as not to depart from the spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the claims.
