Definitions
- the present invention relates to pillows of the central core type that adapt to the morphology of the neck and the head of their users, and which also allow to adapt their hardness according to the wish of each of these users, the cervical support , perceived or not, always remaining a constant imperative for the well being of the user.
- a central-core type pillow is already known.
- the EP-A-0537042 describes such a pillow which comprises essentially two parts, one of which is an interchangeable elastic element of cylindrical shape which allows individual adaptability by a specific support of the occipito-cervical region of the user.
- the other part consists of two juxtaposed compartments containing traditional materials, each of different density. Between these two compartments is arranged and fixed the interchangeable elastic element in the front and transverse portion of the pillow.
- the adjustment is ensured by the user by the choice of cylinders available to him, in diameter and density.
- the present invention aims to achieve an even more comfortable pillow and the user can even more easily change the flexibility according to his personal wish, while having the same cervical support.
- this pillow comprises a central core 1 having a shape having two transverse sections 2, 3 of maximum and minimum thickness respectively, this central core being made of a first, preferably elastic, material such as, for example, an isocyanate-type foam or the like, which is marketed under the Trade Mark SDP VISCOFLEX.
- the envelope 4 it is constituted, as more particularly illustrated on the figure 1 by at least a first pocket 6 of a given first volume enclosing a given quantity of a second elastic material having a coefficient of elasticity preferably greater than that of the first material, for example synthetic foam or the like, or even natural products such as feather or the like, the first pocket 6 being delimited by four edges 7, 8, 17, 18, emphasizing that, in the three figures, the edge 18 is not directly visible, substantially rectilinear forming substantially a quadrilateral, and a connecting wall 9 connecting two opposite edges 7, 8 of the quadrilateral to form, with the face 10 of the first pocket 6 which is opposite this connecting wall, the sleeve 5 in which is able to be positioned the central core of the advantageous form as described below.
- a first pocket 6 of a given first volume enclosing a given quantity of a second elastic material having a coefficient of elasticity preferably greater than that of the first material, for example synthetic foam or the like, or even natural products such as feather or
- the pillow further comprises first means 11 for compressing at least the second elastic material contained in the first pocket 6, substantially in the first plane 12 passing through the maximum transverse section 2 of the central soul.
- the thickness of the second elastic product which is below the neck of the user of the pillow can be adjusted to a given value by compressing more or less this second elastic material, which allows to vary at will the hardness of the part of the first pocket 6 on which the user rests his neck and his head.
- the pillow further comprises second means 21 for compressing at least the second elastic material contained in the first pocket 6, substantially in the second plane 22 passing through the minimum cross section 3 of the central core 1.
- the thickness of the second elastic product which lies beyond the neck and the head of the user relative to its body can be adjusted to a given value by compressing more or less this second elastic material. It is thus possible to vary the slope of the face portion 110 of the first pocket 6 opposite the face 10 which is in contact with the central core 1, defined between the first and second planes 12, 22.
- the means 11 and / or 21 for compressing the second elastic material contained in the first pocket 6 are constituted by at least one strap 31, 32 and hooking means 23, 24 of this strap with at least one point 33 of the first pocket 6 and at least one point 34 of the connecting wall 9.
- the attachment means 23, 24 of the strap 31, 32 with at least one point 33 of the first pocket 6 and at least one point 34 of the connecting wall 9 are constituted by first gripping claws secured to the strap, second gripping claws, and means 35 for securing the second gripping claws with respectively the first pocket 6 and the connecting wall 9.
- These means 35 defined above, for securing the second gripping claws with respectively the first pocket and the connecting wall, are constituted by at least two strips 36, 37, these two strips 36, 37 being respectively secured to the first 6 and the connecting wall 9 being substantially parallel to each other, as for example illustrated on the figure 2 .
- gripping claw means are constituted for example as those which are known in themselves and sold under the trademark "Velcro", or similar products.
- the pillow will very advantageously comprise, on its opposite side to that which is visible in the three figures, the same means 11 and / or 21 for compressing the second elastic material contained in the first pocket 6, namely the two strips 31, 32 and the attachment means 23, 24 of the strips with at least one point 33 of the first pocket 6 and at least one point 34 of the connecting wall 9.
- the central core 1 in the form of a wedge 40 with a substantially trapezoidal longitudinal section, this corner being delimited by two substantially plane lateral faces 41, 42 whose planes intersect along a line which is substantially parallel to an edge 8 of the first pocket 6 which it joins to the connecting wall 9, a large base 43 and a small base 44, the large base constituting the maximum transverse face 2 of the central core and the small base constituting the minimum transverse face 3.
- the connecting wall 9 may be any but, advantageously, it is constituted by a second pocket 50 of a second given volume enclosing a third elastic material having a coefficient of elasticity preferably greater than that of the first material, the latter coefficient of elasticity being of the same value as that of the second material or different.
- This second pocket is also delimited by four edges 7, 8, 17 ', 18' substantially rectilinear. The two edges 7 and 8 are common to the two pockets 6 and 50 while the other edges 17 and 17 ', 18 and 18' are not joined together in order to define the opening of the sleeve 5 and allow the positioning of the central core 1 between the two pockets.
- the four edges 7, 8, 17 ', 18' of the second pocket 50 also form substantially a quadrilateral, which is very advantageously the same as that of the first pocket.
- the first and second volumes respectively of the first and second pockets are different and the second and third materials have different elasticity coefficient.
- such a pillow can be used by many different people who can find the hardness and slope settings of the face 110 that suits them best.
- first pocket 6 is asymmetrically shaped to contain a greater thickness of second elastic material at the first plane 12 than at the second plane 22, so that the user can more easily make the two adjustments mentioned above, the slope of the face 110 and hardness.
- This second pocket 50 when such a pillow has one such as that illustrated on the figure 2 .
- This second pocket 50 is therefore also of asymmetrical shape so as to contain, as for the first pocket 6, a greater thickness of third elastic material at the level of the first plane 12 than at the level of the second plane 22.
- the large base 43 of the central core 1 is of substantially convex shape and joins the two lateral faces 41, 42 of the central core so as to form with them a substantially continuous surface without angular points.
- the pillow according to the invention is used as follows:
- the user can, by acting on the straps 31, vary the distance between the two points 33, 34 respectively on the two pockets 6, 50, and adjust the position of this compression relative to the first plane 12 by laterally moving the strips 31 on the two fastening strips 36, 37 located at this first plane 12, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
- the structure of the pillow according to the invention gives this pillow a very interesting additional advantage, namely that, as they are made, the means 11 and / or 21 for compressing the elastic materials prevent the lateral flanges from rising when a user puts his head on the pillow, while this occurs irremediably with all the pillows of the prior art.

Par référence à l'ensemble des trois figures qui illustrent essentiellement deux modes de réalisation d'un oreiller selon l'invention, cet oreiller comporte une âme centrale 1 ayant une forme présentant deux sections transversales 2, 3 d'épaisseur respectivement maximale et minimale, cette âme centrale étant en un premier matériau, de préférence élastique comme, par exemple, une mousse du type isocyanate ou analogue comme celle qui est commercialisée sous la Marque commerciale SDP VISCOFLEX.With reference to all three figures which essentially illustrate two embodiments of a pillow according to the invention, this pillow comprises a
Il comporte en outre une enveloppe 4 formant un manchon 5, l'âme centrale 1 étant disposée dans ce manchon 5.It further comprises an
Quant à l'enveloppe 4, elle est constituée, comme plus particulièrement illustré sur la
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, l'oreiller comporte en outre des premiers moyens 11 pour comprimer au moins le deuxième matériau élastique contenu dans la première poche 6, sensiblement dans le premier plan 12 passant par la section transversale maximale 2 de l'âme centrale.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the pillow further comprises first
De cette façon, comme illustré sur la
De façon très avantageuse, l'oreiller comporte en outre des seconds moyens 21 pour comprimer au moins le deuxième matériau élastique contenu dans la première poche 6, sensiblement dans le second plan 22 passant par la section transversale minimale 3 de l'âme centrale 1.Very advantageously, the pillow further comprises
De cette façon, comme illustré sur la
Dans des réalisations avantageuses, les moyens 11 et/ou 21 pour comprimer le deuxième matériau élastique contenu dans la première poche 6 sont constitués par au moins une lanière 31, 32 et des moyens d'accrochage 23, 24 de cette lanière avec au moins un point 33 de la première poche 6 et au moins un point 34 de la paroi de liaison 9.In advantageous embodiments, the

Ces moyens 35 définis ci-dessus, pour solidariser les secondes griffes d'accrochage avec respectivement la première poche et la paroi de liaison, sont constitués par au moins deux bandes 36, 37, ces deux bandes 36, 37 étant respectivement solidaires de la première poche 6 et de la paroi de liaison 9 en étant sensiblement parallèles entre elles, comme par exemple illustré sur la
Ces moyens à griffes d'accrochage sont constitués par exemple comme ceux qui sont connus en eux-mêmes et commercialisés sous la Marque de commerce "Velcro", ou des produits analogues.These gripping claw means are constituted for example as those which are known in themselves and sold under the trademark "Velcro", or similar products.
Il est bien précisé que l'oreiller comprendra très avantageusement, sur son côté opposé à celui qui est visible sur les trois figures, les mêmes moyens 11 et/ou 21 pour comprimer le deuxième matériau élastique contenu dans la première poche 6, à savoir les deux lanières 31, 32 ainsi que les moyens d'accrochage 23, 24 des lanières avec au moins un point 33 de la première poche 6 et au moins un point 34 de la paroi de liaison 9.It is clearly specified that the pillow will very advantageously comprise, on its opposite side to that which is visible in the three figures, the
Dans une réalisation préférentielle, l'âme centrale 1, comme illustré sur les
Dans les modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, il n'est pas fait mention d'une forme spécifique de la paroi de liaison 9. Elle-peut être quelconque mais, avantageusement, elle est constituée par une seconde poche 50 d'un second volume donné enfermant un troisième matériau élastique ayant un coefficient d'élasticité de préférence supérieur à celui du premier matériau, ce dernier coefficient d'élasticité pouvant être de la même valeur que celui du deuxième matériau ou différent. Cette seconde poche est, elle aussi, délimitée par quatre bords 7, 8, 17', 18' sensiblement rectilignes. Les deux bords 7 et 8 sont communs aux deux poches 6 et 50 tandis que les autres bords 17 et 17', 18 et 18' ne sont pas réunis entre eux dans le but de définir l'ouverture du manchon 5 et permettre le positionnement de l'âme centrale 1 entre les deux poches.In the embodiments described above, there is no mention of a specific form of the connecting
Les quatre bords 7, 8, 17', 18' de la seconde poche 50 forment, eux aussi, sensiblement un quadrilatère, qui est très avantageusement le même que celui de la première poche.The four
De façon préférentielle, les premier et second volumes respectivement des première et seconde poches sont différents et les deuxième et troisième matériaux ont des coefficient d'élasticité différents.Preferably, the first and second volumes respectively of the first and second pockets are different and the second and third materials have different elasticity coefficient.
De cette façon, un tel oreiller peut être utilisé par de nombreuses personnes différentes qui pourront trouver les réglages de dureté et de pente de la face 110 qui leur conviennent le mieux.In this way, such a pillow can be used by many different people who can find the hardness and slope settings of the
Il est en outre préférable que la première poche 6 soit de forme asymétrique de façon à contenir une plus grande épaisseur de deuxième matériau élastique au niveau du premier plan 12 qu'au niveau du second plan 22, de façon que l'utilisateur puisse plus facilement procéder aux deux réglages mentionnés ci-dessus, de la pente de la face 110 et de dureté.It is further preferable that the
Il en sera de même pour la seconde poche 50 quand un tel oreiller en comporte une comme celle illustrée sur la
De plus, pour le confort de l'utilisateur de l'oreiller, comme illustré sur la
L'oreiller selon l'invention s'utilise de la façon suivante :The pillow according to the invention is used as follows:
L'utilisateur d'un tel oreiller, dans le cas où cet oreiller comporte deux poches 6, 50, commence par choisir la poche sur laquelle il souhaite faire reposer sa tête et son cou.The user of such a pillow, in the case where this pillow has two
Ensuite, il positionne l'âme centrale entre les deux poches de façon que sa section maximale soit située sous la partie de la poche qui comprend la plus grande épaisseur de deuxième et de troisième matériau. Par essais successifs, il comprime la quantité de deuxième et/ou de troisième produits qui se trouve au niveau du plan 12, jusqu'à obtenir la dureté qu'il souhaite, puis donne à la face supérieure 110 de la poche sur laquelle il souhaite faire reposer sa tête et son cou, la pente qui lui convient le mieux en comprimant plus ou moins la quantité de deuxième et/ou troisième produits qui se trouve au niveau du second plan 22.Then, it positions the central core between the two pockets so that its maximum section is located under the portion of the pocket which comprises the second and third thickest material. By successive tests, it compresses the amount of second and / or third products which is at the level of the
Pour comprimer la quantité de deuxième et/ou de troisième produits qui se trouve au niveau du premier plan 12, l'utilisateur peut, en agissant sur les lanières 31, faire varier la distance séparant les deux points 33, 34 respectivement sur les deux poches 6, 50, et ajuster la position de cette compression par rapport au premier plan 12 en déplaçant latéralement les lanières 31 sur les deux bandes d'accrochage 36, 37 situées au niveau de ce premier plan 12, comme illustré sur la
Il en est de même pour la compression de la quantité de deuxième et/ou de troisième produits qui se trouve au niveau du second plan 22, mais en agissant dans ce cas sur les poins d'accrochage des lanières 32 respectivement sur les bandes d'accrochage 36, 37 situées au niveau de ce second plan 22, comme illustré sur la
Il a alors obtenu un oreiller qui présente une configuration qui lui convient, avec en plus tous les avantages des oreillers de ce type, comme ceux qui sont mentionnés dans le document mentionné au préambule de la présente description.He then obtained a pillow that has a configuration that suits him, with all the benefits of pillows of this type, such as those mentioned in the document mentioned in the preamble of this description.
La structure de l'oreiller selon l'invention confère à cet oreiller un avantage supplémentaire très intéressant, à savoir que, tels qu'ils sont réalisés, les moyens 11 et/ou 21 pour comprimer les matériaux élastiques empêchent les rebords latéraux de remonter quand un utilisateur pose sa tête sur l'oreiller, alors que cela se produit irrémédiablement avec tous les oreillers de l'art antérieur.The structure of the pillow according to the invention gives this pillow a very interesting additional advantage, namely that, as they are made, the
