Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a neck pillow or travel pillow. Such pillows are often used when traveling to support the head, often they are U-shaped.
  • the utility model DE 20 2016 004 221 discloses a neck pillow hood in which the neck pillow is inflatable.
  • the hood appears as the primary element.
  • the neck pillow can be fully inflated and support the head. Since the neck pillow is enclosed by a hood, it is hardly or not visible from the outside.
  • U.S. Patent 7,657,945 discloses a neck pillow with a hood, which is U-shaped. An opening is provided on the outside of the U through which an inflatable cushion inner part can be guided into the covering. Opposite, a hood is provided on the inside of the U. However, no storage is provided for this hood.
  • the utility model DE 20 2016 001161U1 discloses a neck pad for the stable positioning of the head.
  • the neck pad has an essentially roll-shaped design and is equipped with a hood on the inside. The hood can be removed through an opening.
  • a travel pillow in accordance with the present invention is said to be essentially a U-shaped neck pillow.
  • Such pillows are common as travel pillows, of course, they can also be used outside of a trip, since they offer good support to the neck and are accordingly generally perceived as pleasant for sitting sleeping positions.
  • the travel pillow has a first leg and a second leg, which are connected by a central part.
  • the U-shape also means that there is a circumferential inside and a circumferential outside.
  • the circumferential outside and the circumferential inside converge at the end of the legs.
  • the travel pillow has an upper side which is oriented towards the head of the user when used and a lower side which is oriented towards the shoulders when used.
  • the travel cushion also has a central plane, which is arranged essentially centrally between the top and bottom. If the position of the central plane does not result directly from geometric considerations, the plane that divides the pillow weight in half should be assumed to be the central plane.
  • a travel pillow according to the present invention should have a contour on its upper side which comprises at least one hump.
  • the travel pillow can also include several humps, such as two humps, three humps or four humps.
  • the travel pillow should also have a hood and a receiving space for this hood.
  • the receiving space should be arranged at least partially below the floor level of at least one hump.
  • Each hump comprises a floor level, which is the imaginary level above which it rises above a flat surface without humps. In In cases of doubt, this should be considered parallel to the middle level.
  • This area connects, for example, between two valleys to the left and right of the hump.
  • the receiving space is to be arranged at least partially below this floor level; it can also be arranged as a whole below this floor level.
  • the travel pillow can have a hump, for example, which is arranged centrally above the central part. Then it is appropriate to arrange the receiving space below the floor level of this hump. It is also located below the hump.
  • the recording space is delimited at the bottom by a floor surface, at the top by a ceiling surface, at the rear by a rear wall surface, and on the left and right by side surfaces.
  • the rear wall surface can lie opposite a front wall surface. This does not have to be provided, the recording room can also be completely open to the front.
  • the receiving space can be of various shapes, for example these surfaces can each be flat and act like walls. But they can also be curved.
  • the ceiling surface is flat or at least partially flat.
  • the ceiling surface can thus advantageously run parallel to the floor level of one or more bumps arranged above it.
  • a defined and uniform amount of filling material is available between the ceiling surface of the receiving space and the floor level of an adjacent hump. In this way, a sufficiently strong "foundation" is formed for Höcker. A uniform strength of the pillow is also guaranteed above the receiving space.
  • the middle part has two bumps. These can be arranged symmetrically around the center of the communicating part. For such an arrangement, it is useful if the receiving space is below the floor levels of both humps. It can lie entirely or partially under the corresponding humps. The receiving space can also be more restricted in its extension to the right and left leg. Then the receiving space can lie below the floor level of the cusps, but it is not below the cusps themselves, since it does not extend in the direction of rotation to the cusps.
  • the travel pillow can also have three or four humps. It has proven to be convenient, for example, if a hump is also arranged on each of the first and the second leg. An additional hump can be arranged centrally between them on the middle part, but it is particularly expedient if two humps are additionally arranged on the middle part of the cushion.
  • the receiving space can expediently be arranged in the central region of the outer circumference of the cushion, that is to say in the region of the central part. It is also expedient if the receiving space is arranged in the central part of the cushion and is accessible from the rear. It is therefore also expedient if the receiving space is adjacent to the circumferential outside.
  • the receiving space is arranged entirely or at least predominantly above the central plane of the pillow.
  • the extent of the receiving space in the circumferential direction is no more than the distance between the bumps in the central area. In this way, the greater thickness of the cushion in the area of the cusps is used to provide a receiving space.
  • Such a cavity can therefore be a disadvantage for the convenience of using the pillow, since the pillow is supposed to have a certain supporting effect, for which purpose sufficient strength is required.
  • the pillow In the case of a pillow with a hood, there is the basic problem of providing a receiving space of sufficient size without restricting the usability of the pillow as a whole.
  • the travel pillow comprises an outer cover and a pillow filling.
  • the outer cover gives the pillow support and shape.
  • the pillow filling can be chosen independently of the outer cover. It is also expedient if the receiving space is at least partially enclosed by the pillow filling.
  • a zipper is provided in the outer shell, which in the open state enables access to the receiving space.
  • the arch shape results when you look at the pillow from behind.
  • the bow can essentially have the shape of an inverted U, so there is a vertex that is higher than the end points of the zipper.
  • the zipper Viewed from the top, the zipper has a convex shape because its apex is oriented towards the top. This shape has proven to be advantageous because the opening of the receiving space can be opened so easily.
  • the shape of a pillow with bumps in the middle part means that when the zipper is closed, the outer cover sits tightly over the bumps. The closing movement of the zipper leads to an advantageous force effect on the outer cover, so that it not only sits tightly but also sits in its desired position relative to the pillow filling.
  • the outer casing consists of at least two cutting elements which are connected to at least one seam and the opening is provided in the seam. It is also useful for the hood if it consists of two cutting elements.
  • Fig. 1 shows a travel pillow 10 according to the invention in a perspective view.
  • the travel pillow is essentially U-shaped. Accordingly, it has a right leg 12 and a left leg 14. (The legs are labeled as the wearer sees them when using the pillow.) The two legs are through the middle part 16 connected.
  • the cushion has an upper side 18 and a lower side 20.
  • the right leg 12 ends in the right horn 22 and the left leg 14 ends in the left horn 24.
  • a suitable shape of the legs and horns is indicated by the contour line K. A seam can also run along this contour line.
  • a closing loop 26 is provided on the right horn 22. This can be connected to the eyelet 28 on the left horn 24.
  • the U-shaped pillow can be placed around the neck and closed at the front so that it supports the neck particularly well when traveling.
  • Fig. 2 is a further perspective view of the travel pillow 10 from the opposite direction, ie from behind. It can be seen that a first zipper 30 is provided on the back of the middle part 16. This includes in particular a first tab 32.
  • Fig. 3 shows the travel pillow from a perspective view, in which the viewing direction is chosen similar to that in Fig. 2 .
  • the first zipper 30 is open, accordingly the first tab 32 is not on the left side, but on the right side, that is, adjacent to the right leg 12.
  • the second tab 34 can be seen. It belongs to a second zipper. This is arranged behind the first zipper 30, so that it is in Fig. 2 is covered by this.
  • the first band 36 of the first zipper can also be seen and the second band 38 of the first zipper can be seen opposite.
  • the second zipper one can also see the first band 40, which runs parallel to the first band 36, and also the second band 42 of the second zipper.
  • Opening the first zipper 30 has created the opening 46 in the outer shell 44.
  • the foam filling 48 of the cushion can now be seen through this opening 46.
  • the Foam filling has a receiving space 52 which can accommodate the hood 50.
  • the recording room has a wide slot-like opening.
  • this opening of the receiving space 52 comprises two parallel edges, this is generally according to the invention and allows good access to the hood 50. It is also generally according to the invention if the receiving space 52 comprises a ceiling surface which comprises a flat section.
  • the hood 50 is a component of the travel pillow according to the invention and is essentially removed from the receiving space.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further perspective view.
  • the opening 46 in the outer shell 44 is partially closed.
  • the second tab 34 is moved to a middle position. It is obvious that when the second tab 34 is moved further towards the first tab 32, which can remain in its right end position, the opening 46 can be closed again. This is done with the second zipper 56.
  • the connection seam 54 with which the hood is connected below the second band of the second zipper 42 to the outer cover 44 of the pillow, can also be clearly seen in this illustration.
  • Fig. 5 shows the travel pillow in a perspective view, similar to Fig. 4 .
  • the hood 50 has been completely removed and is ready for use.
  • the hood comprises a left part 58 and a right part 60. Both are connected by a central seam 62.
  • the hood 50 also has a cord 64. In other embodiments, such a cord can also be dispensed with without further notice.
  • the hood 50 is not connected to the middle part 16 of the pillow 10.
  • the hood forms a right tongue 66 and a left tongue 68. These are free from that Movable cushion part. In this way, the hood 50 and in particular the cord ends 70 can be gripped well if they are guided in the cord channel 72.
  • Fig. 6 shows the travel pillow 10 according to the invention in a state of use.
  • the two legs that is, the right leg 12 and the left leg 14 are placed around the neck.
  • the closing loop 26 can be used to connect to the eyelet 28, but this does not have to be done and has not been done in the present configuration.
  • the hood 50 can be comfortably placed around the head of a user after removal from the cushion cover 44.
  • Fig. 7 shows the side view of the more precise shape of the pillow.
  • the view goes exactly from behind onto the pillow, that is to say the middle part 16. This is delimited at the top by the top 18 and at the bottom by the bottom 20. Loop 26 can be seen in the center.
  • the first zipper 30 runs in a slightly arcuate manner, similar to an upside-down U. Seen from the top, the zipper is convexly curved.
  • the travel cushion has a first hump 72 and a second hump 74. Both are arranged symmetrically to the center perpendicular S of the pillow. They rise above the floor level H. Since the first zipper 30 is closed, the receiving space 52 cannot be seen. However, its location results directly from Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .
  • the receiving space is expediently arranged between the central plane M and the floor plane H. It can also be partially below the central plane M, but should predominantly extend above it. This allows particularly good access to the hood.
  • Fig. 8 shows this in a side view Fig. 7 well-known pillows.
  • the position of the floor level H, which results from the position, can again be seen the bumps 72 and 74 result.
  • the view goes to the left leg 14, which ends in the left horn 24.
  • the legs are cut so that the contour line K results, which represents a kink line in the surface.
  • a third bump 76 is provided on the left leg 14.
  • a fourth bump can be provided symmetrically to the right leg 12.
