Retained compressible pillow support

Claim 1

A retained compressible pillow support comprising: a flexible closed tubular envelope, generally horseshoe shaped, and formed with a return including a transversely extending flexible back wall and a flexible curved front wall defining a yoke, said envelope being formed with hollow transversely spaced apart legs projecting forwardly from opposite sides of said yoke, the free extremities of said legs being spaced apart from each other when the pillow support is unfilled, and having respective inner walls connected to said yoke and extending longitudinally to transverse free end walls, and having outer walls leading from the transverse outer ends of said back wall, to said free end walls, said legs being of substantially uniform width from said yoke to said free end walls, said envelope being further formed such that upon being filled with a compressible filler, the tubular walls thereof will be distended causing said back wall to distend transversely while said yoke restricts transverse distension at the front of said return, thus causing said front wall to draw the forward extremitites of said legs to urge them inwardly toward one another to define, together with said yoke, an oblong aperture extending longitudinally between said legs and having a maximum width equal to the width of said yoke, whereby in use said legs may be grasped and the forward extremities thereof drawn apart for receipt of a user's extremity therebetween, and upon release of said legs, said front wall at said yoke cooperates with said back wall and filler to urge the free extremities of said legs inwardly into mutual engagement.
