Abstract

A molded foam sleeping pad consisting of three parts (fig.1). A central center part / center piece fig. 1 (b), a left and a right portion (a + a), also called the side pieces, sewn together with an almost inelastic material enclosing the entire pad, so that the surface in use is the upper surface unbroken while it is surface, which is in use, the lower surface is divided into three, the side pieces and the center piece being separated by two spaces, which in use become wedge-shaped (c). The sleeping pad has an outline, described above as hourglass-shaped, and can also be described as a rectangle where the long sides are concave (Fig. 2). Thus, the side pads of the sleeping pad are at the widest point at the end of these 40 cm (e) widths, while the center piece, at the narrowest point, is 30 cm wide (d). A sleeping pad, in which the center portion is divided from the side pieces, cut from the top surface to the bottom surface at a 15 degree oblique angle to the center of the pad, such that the width of the upper surface (f) is 5 cm wider than the lower surface (g). A sleeping pad in which the center of the cushion lengthwise is thicker than the outer edges of the cushion (i) and (j). Thus, the cushion rounds longitudinally convex, and the cushion is at its highest point at the center of the side pieces 10 cm high (k) and (i), and thus 3 cm higher than at the outer edge (o), which is 7 cm high. On the center piece (b) the highest place is 1 cm lower than the apexes of the side pieces, ie 9 cm high (j), while the outer edge of the center piece is 5 cm high (p). Thus, in this technique, there is more consistent contact between the pillow and the ears, thereby increasing the sound attenuation. The intention of the sleeping pillow is to replace earplugs and the "pillow over the head" for the purpose of getting a better night's sleep. The sleeping pad differs in particular from the prior art (D1) by having hourglass shape / concave sides longitudinally of the pillow, having a thicker center lengthwise of the pillow, and being slanted at the center piece to avoid falling into the "crack" "when sleeping.

A molded foam sleeping pad consisting of three parts (fig.1). A central center part / center piece fig. 1 (b), a left and a right portion (a + a), also called the side pieces, sewn together with an almost inelastic material enclosing the entire pad, so that the surface in use is the upper surface being unbroken while it is surface, which is in use, the lower surface is divided into three, the side pieces and the center piece being separated by two spaces, which in use become wedge-shaped (c). The sleeping pad has an outline, described above as hourglass-shaped, and can also be described as a rectangle where the long sides are concave (Fig. 2). The side pads of the sleeping pad are thus at the widest point at the end of these 40 cm (e) widths, while the center piece, at the narrowest point, is 30 cm wide (d). A sleeping pad, in which the center portion is divided from the side pieces, cut from the top surface to the bottom surface at a 15 degree oblique angle to the center of the pad, such that the width of the upper surface (f) is 5 cm wider than the lower surface (g). A sleeping pad in which the center of the cushion lengthwise is thicker than the outer edges of the cushion (i) and (j).

The invention relates to a pillow for use at night, also called the sleeping pad, a pillow for sleeping on and off, which closes around the head so that the face is free.

The sleeping pad is a shaped and three-piece foam pillow, combined with an almost inelastic fabric, where the three pieces are sewn together on the upper side, ie the side you lie on and divided into three pieces with oblique angles on the underside.

The sleeping pad folds and opens into the wedges at the seams, thereby closing around the cheeks and back head when in use.

In people with sleep problems, there are several things that disturb the night's sleep. If sounds are the main problem, earplugs are often used. Some people also use to put a pillow over their head, or pull the duvet up over their ears.

If you have sleep problems, you are often cold-skinned and uncomfortable, and this three-piece cushion meets all three needs, ie lowering the sound level, increased warmth of the head and a feeling of peace of mind as the pillow encloses the head as an embrace.

Common Features of the Prior Art (D1) US 2008/216244 Al (MINTON, K B) 2008.08.11 are: The sleeping pad and D1 are both three-piece pillows designed to improve sleep by reducing perceived noise for the user. The noise reduction occurs by folding the foam pad around the user's head, covering the ears.

In addition, this folding technique provides heat insulation in cold conditions. Both pillows can be used both folded and folded.

Dl is, FOR DIFFERENCE from the sleeping pad, a pillow cut into straight rectangles, composed of strips and with earmuffs and sleep mask, as possible accessories.

THE NEW AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE SLEEP PAD ARE THE FEATURES OF THIS INVENTION being narrower at the center of the pillow where the neck is located (d), and wider at the side (s), so that the pillow is shaped like an hourglass / rectangle with concave long sides.

The requirement thus includes the shape of the three-piece cushion, such as hourglass-shaped / with concave long sides, the oblique angle at the center of the cushion, and the increased thickness of the center of the cushion in the longitudinal direction of the cushion.

The sleeping pad is constructed so that three cut foam pieces (Fig. 1), two of the same size and shape placed in the side pieces (a + a), and a center piece (b) which is slightly smaller are sewn together by a inelastic fabric that is unbroken on the top of the pillow and folds into the wedges on the underside of the pillow. The fact that the fabric is almost inelastic means that the side pieces do not slide out when turning. Thus, the pad is immediately in unfolded condition to be considered a plain shaped foam head pad.

The cushion is folded manually from behind by taking one side and folding over the head as you pull a duvet over it. You place the cheek / face on one side, the middle piece closes around the back of the head and the other side wraps around the upside-down cheek.

Thus, in the folded state, the cushion has the shape of a horseshoe, which at both bends is cut up on the outside, but held together on the inside of the horseshoe.

The weight of the pillow leaves it in a folded state. In addition, the wedges at the back (c) between the pieces (a and b) ensure that the cushion does not fall back to the horizontal position when lying on the side, with the cushion around it.

The cushion is the same width and length as the usual foam pads available on the market. It differs from these in addition to being three-fold and foldable in that it has a shape like a landscape hourglass (Fig. 2). It can also be described by the fact that the long sides are concave. In addition, the center piece is slightly thinner / lower than the side pieces. Both of them cause that

1. The cushion is more easily held in place around the head in a supine position as the shoulders naturally support the cushion in its position

2. The center piece is pushed down more in the supine position, at the weight of the head, thereby slightly lifting the sides to the benefit of the enclosing effect

3. there is less fullness at the back, thereby reducing the risk of feeling too warm around the head when sleeping

In the drawing of the pillow there are four figures. Figure 1. shows the technical function of the cushion. The pillow is sewn together by three parts (a, b, a) on the upper side. On the underside, the cushion is divided in two places, cut (c) from top to bottom in the width direction of the cushion, and at an angle of approx. 15 degrees towards the center of the pillow.

The center piece is approx. 3 cm narrower than the side pieces (lengthwise of the pillow) upwards (Fig. 3), (f), and approx. 10 cm narrower than the side pieces in the bottom (g).

The center piece is approx. 10 cm narrower (at the center of the hourglass) in the width direction of the cushion (Fig. 2), (d) relative to the side pieces (e).

In FIG. 4, the contours of the cushion are seen from the side of the cushion (h). Here it is seen that the cushion rounds so that the center strip of the cushion in the longitudinal direction (i) is higher than at the outer sides. On the center piece, the top of the pillow is slightly lower (j) than at the tops (i), as well as (k).

The figure shows where the contour edge on the upper (lying side) of the pad goes (I).

In Figures 3 and 4, the contour of the Sleeping Pad (m) is seen from the long side of the pad (n), with the line (m) reflecting the upper edge of the outside of the pad.

Thus, the cushion rounds longitudinally convex (Fig. 4) and the cushion is at its highest point at the center of the side pieces 10 cm high (k) and (i) and thus 3 cm higher than at the outer edge (o) which is 7 cm high . On the center piece, the highest place is 1 cm lower than the tops of the side pieces, ie 9 cm high (j), while the outer edge of the center piece is 5 cm high (p).

The increased thickness of the middle stripe means that there is more consistent contact between the ears and the pillow, thereby increasing the sound attenuation.
