US Patent 9439822 Lifting assembly

A lifting assembly includes a pillow that may be positioned between a user and a support surface after the user has fallen onto the support surface. The pillow may support a weight ranging between approximately 250 pounds and 500 pounds. A valve is attached to the pillow and a pump is selectively attached to the valve. The pump selectively urges air into the pillow thereby facilitating the pump to inflate the pillow. The pillow lifts the user upwardly from the support surface as the pillow is inflated thereby facilitating the user to stand up. The pillow reaches a height ranging between approximately 18 inches and 25 inches with respect to the support surface when the pillow is inflated.
