Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pillow, in particular a pillow according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • buckling cushion which consists of two different, mutually parallel filling areas that can be filled independently of each other.
  • the one filling area is divided into three filling chambers. Both filling areas have their own closure, through which the filling areas can be filled and emptied independently of one another.
  • the filling areas can also be filled with different materials.
  • the sizes of the filling areas on the one hand and the filling chambers on the other hand are determined by seams, e.g. Quilting seams or webs used.
  • seams e.g. Quilting seams or webs used.
  • a generic pillow in the cover of which a sack filled with a fluid is arranged.
  • a filling is arranged between the sack and the envelope, which consists of springs, fibers or a foam material which surrounds the sack on all sides.
  • the cushion cover has an inner cover into which the sack filled with the fluid can be inserted.
  • FR-A-1 069 112 is a filling for pillows, mattresses, seat cushions, vehicle tires or the like. known, which consists of "air bubbles" made of plastic, natural or artificial rubber or analog materials. These are individual air-filled bodies that have a diameter of 1 cm to 3 cm.
  • These air-filled bodies are arranged in an envelope.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pillow, the hardness, in particular insofar as it relates to the hardness distribution within the pillow, can be set by the user without restriction and easily.
  • the filling units are spherical fiber units and the individual filling units are detachably hooked together.
  • the spherical fiber aggregates can be fiber balls or fiber flakes.
  • This insert can be moved within the cushion relative to the filling units and brought into a desired position in which e.g. when used as a pillow, the neck and / or the head of a sleeping person is optimally supported. This varies depending on body size and sleeping behavior in different people.
  • the harder support area can advantageously be set as a so-called venous cushion.
  • the insert advantageously has an essentially elongated, tubular shape and, for example, a circular to oval cross section.
  • the cross section at the ends of the insert can be larger than in their middle range.
  • the insert then supports the neck when lying on the back, while lying on the side the resting person's head comes to rest on one of the two thicker parts.
  • the insert itself can again have areas of different hardness.
  • the middle area of the insert of a pillow that supports the neck can be harder than the two outer areas on which the head is e.g. lying on the side of the body.
  • the lower ear of the head is not pressed as much as a result.
  • a depression can also be provided in the ear area.
  • the insert can also be filled with fibers, which, however, should impart a different hardness behavior to the insert than the fiber aggregates in the cushion.
  • fibers which, however, should impart a different hardness behavior to the insert than the fiber aggregates in the cushion.
  • These are preferably spherical fiber aggregates made of spherically entangled fibers, with which the cushion outside the insert can also be filled.
  • These spherical fiber aggregates in the pillow and inlay can have different densities and hardness from the outset.
  • a different hardness can also be set during use by the person using the pillow filling the spherical fiber aggregates more or less strongly into the insert and / or moving the fiber aggregates within the insert and / or within the pillow. This shifting can be carried out both with the insert or pillow closed, and also by the person reaching into the insert or pillow with his hand in order to shift accumulations of the fiber aggregates. Due to the special design of these fiber aggregates, which is described in EP-A-0 257 658, the fiber aggregates essentially do not move automatically against each other, so that once an adjustment has been made, it is retained.
  • the insert consists of a gas or liquid-filled molded body, for example a tube, which is preferably a closable one Has filler opening.
  • This hose can now be filled with more or less gas and / or liquid, which is at the discretion of the user.
  • the hose can also be divided into different areas, which are filled differently, for example.
  • gaseous filling of the insert e.g. with normal ambient air, which is relatively compressible, it can be compressed when sleeping, which makes the insert more flexible. However, if the gas is already filled with excess pressure, the insert becomes harder.
  • the insert is slightly filled with liquid, it can evade the insert under local load, so that the insert yields. On the other hand, if the insert is filled with liquid, the insert is relatively hard due to the practical incompressibility of the liquid.
  • air can also be present in the insert, as a result of which the hardness setting can be changed.
  • This liquid can also give off or absorb heat, e.g. liquid paraffin is used as the liquid.
  • the pillow can then be used e.g. be warmed up in a baking or heating oven and then maintains a certain temperature over a longer period of time due to the heat of crystallization of the paraffin.
  • the insert can also with foam or the like. be filled or consist of one. In the latter case in particular, the hardness is adjusted only by moving the insert inside the cushion.
  • the surface of the insert is rough and preferably has fibers.
  • the insert within the cushion keeps its position better even when the same is used and shaken.
  • the position of the insert can be changed manually or involuntarily.
  • the surface of the insert e.g. Fiber aggregates that are firmly connected to the insert.
  • the surface or the casing of the insert consists of at least one layer of fiber aggregates needled together.
  • These can be the same fiber aggregates that are located in the cushion next to the insert, but they can also be fiber aggregates with other fibers, in particular those that can form a detachable connection with the other fiber aggregates.
  • the covering of the insert can also consist of a terry cloth, the surface of which interlocks with the neighboring fiber aggregates.
  • a pillow 1, here a pillow, has a rectangular shape.
  • This pillow 1 has, for example, a length of 80 cm and a width of 50 cm.
  • an insert 2 is arranged, the longitudinal axis of which can be curved, as can be seen from FIG.
  • This cushion cover 4 has here on one narrow side an opening, not shown, which can be closed, for example, by means of a zip.
  • the pillow 1 can in particular be filled and emptied through this opening.
  • This insert 2 itself has a cover 5, which here e.g. consists of a needled layer of previously spherical fiber aggregates 3.
  • This casing 5 also has a e.g. opening that can be closed with a zipper.
  • the insert 2 is e.g. filled with spherical fiber aggregates, not shown, which may correspond to those outside the insert 2. However, the fiber aggregates are then pressed into the insert 2, i.e. the fiber aggregates have a smaller volume and thus a greater density than the fiber aggregates 3 outside the insert 2. As a result, the insert 2 is harder than the insert-free part of the cushion 1.
  • the pressure of the fiber aggregates can also be stronger in the central part of the insert 2 than in the two end regions of the insert 2, so that the insert 2 itself has sections of different hardness.
  • the spherical fiber aggregates 3 both inside and outside the insert 2 have a Velcro-like connection with one another, i.e. they "adhere" to one another, but can also be detached from one another.
  • the Velcro-like connection between the fiber aggregates on the one hand and the fiber aggregates and the insert on the other hand can be released very easily, so that not only the insert can be moved by hand, but also fiber aggregate accumulations within the cushion 1. For this it is not even necessary to reach into the pillow 1, it is sufficient to take the insert and / or aggregate accumulations through the pillow cover 4. On the other hand reaching into the cushion cover 4 through the opening thereof is also possible without any problems, since the fiber aggregates 3 have sufficient cohesion with one another and are not whirled out of the cover, such as down or feathers.
  • the insert here has a smaller cross section in the middle part than at its ends.
  • the middle part of a person lying on their back is used to support the nakken, while the two end areas are to be used to support the head in a lateral position.
  • the hardness distribution of the insert can be selected accordingly.
  • the insert 2 is spaced from both shell halves, i.e. fiber aggregates 3 are arranged between the insert 2 and the shell 4. This is an adjustment of the hardness, which is the same from both sides of the cushion 1. The hardness of the insert is dampened by the fiber aggregates in between.
  • the insert 2 lies against both shell halves, ie no fiber aggregates 3 are arranged between the insert 2 and the shell 4. This is also an adjustment of the hardness, which is the same from both sides of the cushion 1. However, the neck or head now lies directly on the harder insert.
  • the insert 2 rests on one sleeve half and is spaced apart from the other sleeve half.
  • this cushion side is therefore harder than the other cushion side.
  • the hardness of the cushion can also be adjusted by using more or less filling material inside and / or outside the insert. This refilling or partial emptying can be carried out very easily by the user himself. In particular, he can fill individual parts more or less tightly.
  • the insert 2 is liquid and gas tight and has a tightly closable opening.
  • Such an insert can be filled with liquid, such as water, and / or gas, such as air, whereby the hardness of the insert can also be varied.
  • a cover of such an insert should have a rough surface so that the insert does not move arbitrarily within the cushion, but is held by the fiber aggregates.
