Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pillow with a cover, the interior of which is divided over the surface of the pillow into several adjacent chambers which are filled with filling material.
  • a cushion having a rectangular base which has an elongated chamber along a longer side edge which is spaced apart from the two shorter side edges.
  • This chamber can have a width which corresponds to approximately one third to one half the width of the cushion.
  • This chamber forms a neck support and is therefore provided with a filling that has about twice the hardness of the rest of the pillow area.
  • the pillow is filled with foam bodies designed as square sticks.
  • foam beads can be present as a filling in the pillow. The different hardness is achieved by varying the rod size or the compressive strength or by determining the filling volume of the square rods.
  • Another cushion is known from DE-U-8.427.664, which has along its one side edge a bead-like chamber which has a different hardness from the remaining area of the cushion. Furthermore, a third chamber is provided, which covers the other two chambers at least in the connection area of the first two chambers.
  • the three chambers are filled with fillers of different elasticity.
  • the bead-like chamber can be filled as a fleece roll, preferably from a virgin wool fleece, the second chamber with strong feathers and the overlying chamber with feathery down.
  • Both pillows have a neck roll and are therefore suitable for so-called back sleeping, however, they do not support the head when the person using the pillow sleeps in the so-called side position. Also, the user of the pillow cannot adapt it to his own wishes.
  • a triangular pillow which has a triangular trough in the middle. If you lie on your back, the head is essentially in the hollow, while the neck is supported by one side bead. If you lie in the so-called side position, the head comes to rest on one of the other two side beads.
  • essentially rectangular pillows in the one longitudinal edge of which a firmer bead serving as a neck roll is arranged. It is also known to arrange several such beads in parallel to one another.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic pillow which can be used and varied more versatile and on which one can sleep more comfortably.
  • the pillow according to the invention has bead-like chambers on at least two of its side edges.
  • the pillow according to the invention thus not only has a chamber to be used as a neck roll, but also at least one additional separate chamber on which the head can be supported in a lateral position, but which can also be used as a neck roll if necessary.
  • the pillow has a triangular base surface, so that, if appropriate, all three side edges are bead-like.
  • the pillow will be rectangular, with a special shape being the square one. Two, three or four side edges can have bead-like chambers.
  • the hardness of the filling in the individual bead-like chambers can be set differently. Thereby the user can not only select one or the other bead-like chamber for the support of his neck, it is also possible to choose one or the other hardness between the chambers for the lateral position.
  • An additional chamber can be arranged at least in one corner of the pillow, on which the two bead-like chambers run towards one another.
  • At least the chamber arranged in a corner of the pillow should be by means of an openable closure, such as a zipper, Velcro or the like. be accessible.
  • an openable closure such as a zipper, Velcro or the like.
  • the user can store valuables such as jewelry, money or the like. accommodate.
  • the user does not lie on these corners, which is why it is not perceived as annoying if a hard object is hidden in these corners.
  • the individual chambers can have come about by quilting the pillow accordingly.
  • the chambers are preferably separated from one another by step webs, so that the pillow between the chambers does not have thin, only shell-containing areas, but rather has a full overall appearance without the chambers being immediately visible from the outside.
  • At least one corner of the cushion can be left out, i.e. the corners described above are missing altogether, so that the bead-like chambers assigned to the side edges e.g. touch only on a line (e.g. a seam). Since the bead-like chambers can have a different volume, in particular their cross-section can be different, the manufacture of a pillow with recessed corners is easier than if the transitions between the individual chambers in the corners had to be designed separately.
  • At least some of the chambers are filled with spherical fiber aggregates, as described, for example, in DE-A-2,301,913, EP-A-0.013.427 or EP-A-0.203.469. These can be of different hardness. They can also be made from different materials and consist, for example, of wool and / or synthetic fibers. The bulk density in the individual chambers can vary, which can also influence the hardness of the chamber.
  • a pillow with a triangular base is interesting to look at and catches the eye of a beholder. For this reason, it is also suitable as a demonstration pillow for the sales areas of a shop, in which pillows with differently designed pillow chambers are sold, so that the customer can test different hardnesses using a single pillow and then select a specific pillow.
  • the corners of the pillow can be missing at all.
  • a pillow 1 consists of a plurality of chambers 2 to 8, a bead-like chamber 3, 4 or 5 being formed in addition to a main chamber 2 on at least two longitudinal sides of the pillow 1 and, if appropriate, additional chambers 6, 7 and 8 in the corners of the pillow are provided or these corners 9 are recessed.
  • Chambers 2 to 8 are e.g. separated from each other by means of web-forming walls, each of which is fixed to the cover of the cushion in a known manner, e.g. are sewn on.
  • At least part of the chambers 2 to 8 can be opened by means of an openable e.g. 5 to 8 shown closure, such as zipper 11, Velcro or the like. be directly accessible from outside or through another chamber, so that the user of the pillow e.g. Can remove or add filler.
  • an openable e.g. 5 to 8 shown closure such as zipper 11, Velcro or the like.
  • the main chamber 2 generally supports the head when the pillow is used as a pillow in the so-called supine position.
  • the bead-like chambers 3, 4 and 5 arranged on the sides of the pillow 1 can, depending on the design and the wishes of the user, be used to support the neck in the supine position or the head in the lateral position.
  • Figures 1 and 2 each show a triangular pillow 1, which is drawn here as equilateral; however, it can also have an isosceles configuration or all three side lengths can have different lengths. Both cushions 1 have a main chamber 2 in the middle and bead-like chambers 3, 4 and 5 on their three sides.
  • only two sides each have bead-like chambers, while the main chamber 2 extends to the third side edge of the cushion.
  • the bead-like chambers 3, 4 and 5 have different cross sections, which are obtained in that the web-forming walls are at different distances from the side edge of the pillow 1 assigned to them.
  • a different chamber volume can also be achieved in that the web-forming walls are of different heights, as a result of which the distance between the two shell parts delimiting the cushion 1 is different. Both can of course be combined with each other.
  • Additional chambers 6, 7 and 8 are now provided in the corners of the cushion 1 according to FIG. 1. These chambers 6, 7 and 8 are formed here in that the web-forming walls separating the chambers 3, 4 and 5 from the main chamber 2 continue overlapping to the side edges of the cushion 1. These chambers 6, 7 and 8 in the corners can now be filled with filler material, but they can also be empty and used as a storage compartment for objects, e.g. Jewelery, watches or the like. serve. For this purpose, such a corner chamber 6, 7 or 8 has an openable closure, such as a zipper, Velcro or the like. or just overlapping sections of fabric.
  • the pillow 1 according to FIG. 2 is characterized in that the corners 9 are left out.
  • the bead-like chambers 3, 4 and 5 can be filled differently or have different volumes.
  • the pillow 1 according to FIG. 3 has a square outline and, in addition to a main chamber 2, has a chamber 6 at one corner and, starting from this, bead-like chambers 3 and 4 on each side edge.
  • These chambers 3 and 4 have the same cross section here, but are different, for example filled with different fibers or with a different filling weight, while the corner chamber 6 can be empty and serves as a "storage chamber”.
  • the corner chamber 6 then has a square plan.
  • the pillow 1 according to Figure 4 has a rectangular plan, one side edge e.g. Can be 80 cm long, while the other side edge e.g. Is 60 cm long.
  • the cross section of the individual bead-like chambers 3 to 5 is different here, which results in a rectangular plan of different sizes for the corner chambers 6 and 7.
  • the one bead-like chamber 4 located between the two corner chambers 6 and 7 is e.g. used in the supine position for neck support.
  • the pillow 1 according to FIG. 4 is also particularly suitable as a so-called demonstration pillow for the sale of pillows, since it has bead-shaped chambers 3, 4 and 5 of different widths, which can then also be filled differently.
  • Figures 5 to 8 now show various other embodiments of a square cushion 1. These embodiments have in common that they each have two chambers 3 and 4 on the long sides and a chamber 6 enclosed by them in a corner, the longitudinal chambers 3 and 4 on their side facing the main chamber 2 are chamfered at the corners, so that the corner chamber 6 has a connection to the main chamber 2.
  • This connection is channel-shaped and is closed by a web 10 in the embodiments according to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • This web 10 is arranged in the embodiment according to FIG. 5 at the end of the connecting channel on the main chamber side and in the embodiment according to FIG. 6 at the end of the connecting channel on the corner chamber side. In the embodiment according to FIG. 7, this connection is open.
  • the longitudinal chambers 3 and 4 depending on the embodiment have different widths and / or lengths and the bevels can also be selected to be of different sizes, which also results in different sizes for the main chamber 2 and the corner chamber 6.
  • the main chamber 2 is usually always its own zipper 11 or the like. be assigned, which is arranged in the corner opposite the corner chamber (cf. FIGS. 5 and 7) or in a side edge free of the longitudinal chamber (cf. FIG. 6).
  • the two longitudinal chambers 3 and 4 and the corner chamber 6 can each have a zipper 11 (see FIG. 6) which is only intended for these individual chambers, but a zipper 11 for two adjacent chambers 3 and 6 or 2 and 4 can also be used (see FIGS. 5 and 7).
  • the pillows according to Figures 3, 5 and 7 are also suitable for the sleeping person to use the pillow rotated, that is to say that the neck lies in the supine position on the corner chamber 6 and / or the connecting channel, while the head in the lateral position on one the two longitudinal chambers 3 or 4 is supported.
  • one or more corner chambers 6, 7 or 8 of the various pillows 1 described above according to FIGS. 1 to 6 can also be used as a reserve compartment for the filling material of the other chambers 2 to 5, This means that when you buy the pillow, these corner chambers are filled with the same materials as the other chambers. If the user wants one or the other chamber 2 to 5 plumper - and with it more solidly - fill, he can take the filling material from the corner chambers and insert it into the chamber 2 to 5 to be filled more.
  • zippers or the like are preferably in the seam between the upper and lower shell half. intended. These are only shown in Figures 5 to 8.
  • fiber aggregates can be removed or added.
  • the fiber aggregates are very easy to handle, since individual fiber aggregates are attached to each other by interlocking fibers, but can be separated from one another without effort.
  • the basic production of the fiber aggregates used is described, for example, in DE-A-2,301,913, EP-A-0.013.427 or EP-A-0.203.469.
  • the fiber aggregates used here are manufactured and sold under the "SCHLAFKUGELN" brand by Fabromont AG, CH-3185 Schmitten. These fiber aggregates are made from entangled fibers and / or threads and consist of synthetic fibers and / or wool fibers.
