Claim 3

An inflatable foot support device comprising: a. a plurality of flexible walls joined together to form a closed chamber having one wall thereof engageable by feet of a supine person, said chamber being inflatable and substantially air tight; b. valve means on one of said chamber walls to permit communication of air into said chamber to inflate same; c. a pair of opposed straps extending from said chamber, said straps each being engageabLe with a respective portion of a bed frame; d. means on each of said straps for removably securing same in engagement with the respective portion of the bed frame; e. said chamber has laterally spaced side walls and vertically spaced top and bottom walls each having opposite ends and spaced end walls extending between said side walls and respective ends of said top and bottom walls; f. said pair of straps are arranged with a respective one of said straps extending from each of the opposite ends of said bottom wall; g. each of said straps has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures therein and a fastening member thereon to be received in a selected one of said respective apertures; h. said bottom wall has a length substantially greater than a length of said top wall; i. said top and bottom walls and said end walls each have a length substantially greater than a width thereof; j. said end walls are each arranged to define an acute angle between each of said respective end walls and said bottom wall and an acute angle between each of said respective end walls and said top wall; k. said bottom wall and said pair of straps are a one piece member; l. said bottom wall and said pair of straps have a thickness greater than a thickness of the other walls of the plurality of walls of said chamber; m. said top wall and said end walls are a one piece member; n. said end walls each have an end portion extending therefrom and secured to said bottom wall at respective opposite ends of said bottom wall; and o. said side walls each have peripheral edge flange portions secured to said bottom wall and to said top wall and to said end walls respectively to thereby define the closed chamber.

Claim 4

An inflatable foot support device comprising: a. a plurality of flexible walls joined together to form a closed chamber having one wall thereof engageable by feet of a supine person, said chamber being inflatable and substantially air tight; b. valve means on one of said chamber walls to permit communication of air into said chamber to inflate same; c. a pair of opposed straps extending from said chamber, said straps each being engageabLe with a respective portion of a bed frame; d. means on each of said straps for removably securing same in engagement with the respective portion of the bed frame; e. said chamber has laterally spaced side walls and vertically spaced top and bottom walls each having opposite ends and spaced end walls extending between said side walls and respective ends of said top and bottom walls; f. said pair of straps are arranged with a respective one of said straps extending from each of the opposite ends of said bottom wall; g. each of said straps has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures therein and a fastening member thereon to be received in a selected one of said respective apertures; h. said bottom wall has a length substantially greater than a length of said top wall; i. said top and bottom walls and said end walls each have a length substantially greater than a width thereof; j. said end walls are each arranged to define an acute angle between each of said respective end walls and said bottom wall and an acute angle between each of said respective end walls and said top wall; k. said bottom wall and said pair of straps are a one piece member; l. said bottom wall and said pair of straps have a thickness greater than a thickness of the other walls of the plurality of walls of said chamber; m. said top wall and said end walls are a one piece member; n. said end walls each have an end portion extending therefrom and secured to said bottom wall at respective opposite ends of said bottom wall; and o. said side walls each have peripheral edge flange portions secured to said bottom wall and to said top wall and to said end walls respectively to thereby define the closed chamber.

Claim 5

An inflatable foot support device for use on a mattress of a bed comprising: a. a foot support member having a bottom wall, top wall, spaced side walls and spaced end walls joined together to form a closed inflatable chamber, said top, side and end walls being flexible and the bottom wall having a thickness substantially thicker than the spaced walls to resist deformation thereof on inflation of said support member, said foot support member having a length substantially the same as the width of a bed and adapted to rest on a bed mattress; b. means on said foot support member for selective communication of air with the chamber interior for inflating the foot support member and supporting the walls in extended position; c. said foot support member having a generally upright wall thereof for engagement by a foot of subline person on said bed; d. strap means connected to and extending from each end of said chamber bottom wall, with each strap having a fastening member thereon for removably securing said foot support member in a selected transverse position along the length of a bed mattress.

Claim 6

An inflatable foot support device for use on a mattress of a bed comprising: a. a foot support member having a bottom wall, top wall, spaced side walls and spaced end walls joined together to form a closed inflatable chamber, said top, side and end walls being flexible and the bottom wall having a thickness substantially thicker than the spaced walls to resist deformation thereof on inflation of said support member, said foot support member having a length substantially the same as the width of a bed and adapted to rest on a bed mattress; b. means on said foot support member for selective communication of air with the chamber interior for inflating the foot support member and supporting the walls in extended position; c. said foot support member having a generally upright wall thereof for engagement by a foot of subline person on said bed; d. strap means connected to and extending from each end of said chamber bottom wall, with each strap having a fastening member thereon for removably securing said foot support member in a selected transverse position along the length of a bed mattress.
