Abstract:
A disposable pillow or cushion cover (1) is formed by an envelope (2) of air- and moisture-impermeable material. The envelope (2) encases the pillow or cushion (3) and provides an impermeable resting surface upon which a user may rest the head or other body part. The envelope contains a vent (11) to permit ingress and egress of air from the pillow or cushion (3). The envelope (2) also includes a sealable opening (9) to permit insertion and removal of the pillow or cushion (3). A facing layer (4) of air-permeable material extends over the resting surface and is secured to the envelope (2) at spaced-apart locations to allow airflow and a degree of relative movement between the facing layer (4) and envelope (2).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of ameliorating neck and head pain by using a water pillow of a particular structure as a headrest pillow. Initial test results have shown surprisingly significant improvements in ameliorating these conditions.
Abstract:
A device for a sucking and teething instrument for small children, wherein a pillow (1) having a bell inside a separate safety pouch within said pillow has arms (3, 4, 5, 6; 3', 4', 5', 6') fastened thereon, to which arms may be attached pacifiers, teething rings, and the like. The pacifiers, teething rings, and the like (8; 9; 10; 11) are replaceable by virtue of said arms being designed as a loop which is fastened together by means of snap fasteners or the like (7, 7'). The device makes it possible for little children who use a pacifier or teething ring when sleeping to find the instrument easily again if they loose it. When the child moves about in order to find the pacifier or teething ring, the pillow will also move and emit a sound from the bell.
Abstract:
A blanket (10) that can be converted into a pillow. The blanket (10) has a pair of straps (16, 18) which can secure the blanket (10) in a folded position.
Abstract:
A cover (A), which fits over a cushion (B), has a top panel (10) formed from a highly elastic fabric, bottom panel (12) formed from a high friction mesh, and side panels (14) connecting the top (10) and bottom (12) and formed from a flexible but non-elastic material. The top panel (10) easily conforms to the shape of the user's buttocks without exerting shear on the skin. The bottom panel (12) stabilizes the cushion on a supporting surface by reason of substantial friction between it and the supporting surface.
Abstract:
A device such as a pillow includes a pad (1) of resilient foam plastics which is enclosed within a close-fitting cotton case. On the underside of the pad strips (2, 3, 6, and 9) of similar material are secured to the pad by stitching to form pockets extending along the edges of the pad, at least the front pocket being connected to the pad by a hinge-like connection (12). Inflated bladders (13) are inserted into each of the pockets to provide adjustable supports for the pad. Lengths of resiliently extensible webbing (15, 16) and (18, 19) are secured to the side edges of the pad (1), and the webbing is provided with releasable fastener elements (17, 20) so that the tension in the webbing can be adjusted.
Abstract:
Cervical pillows with beautification properties for supporting the head and neck of a person are provided. Pillows have a resilient pillow body (30) having an adjustable height head rest (15), a resilient pillow body having a resilient upper portion with a plurality of depressions (9) on a top face of the resilient upper portion for receiving the person's ears, a top face (7, 11) with a planar portion (11) with a downward angular planar declination, and a resilient lower portion with a bottom face (29).
Abstract:
A pillow (10) has a compliant base (12) and a compliant overlay (14). The overlay (14) is formed with a plurality of compartments (52, 62, 74) each of which contains a filling. The filling and shape of compartment is selected to provide an inflected curved wedge of support, from front to back of the pillow (10).
Abstract:
A pillow is disclosed which comprises a central portion (5) having a pair of head support limbs (10b, 10c) which curve outwardly from a head end (10d) of the pillow towards a foot end (10e) of the pillow. A pair of neck, chin and jaw support limbs (11a and 11b) extend outwardly at the foot end (10e) and inwardly of the head support limbs (10b and 10c). The limbs (10b, 11a, 10c and 11b) are provided with curved, concave surfaces (10f and 10g) and define air breathing spaces (13 and 14) between the limbs (10b, 11a and 10c, 11b).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a head support, in particular a pillow (10), comprising a filling (12) enclosed in a gas or fluid tight cover (14) with through ventilation holes (18) interconnecting the two major faces of the pillow.
