Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pillow according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a rectangular pillow with at least one seam dividing the pillow into several sections and formed by threads, on which the pillow can be bent, is known.
  • One section of the pillow is designed as a neck support and the sections are filled with filler material.
  • the seams dividing the pillow into several sections there are all straight, so that the two ends of the seam or the two ends of the seams run towards opposite side edges of the pillow.
  • the pillow is formed in its side areas as well as in its central area.
  • Such a pillow is very suitable for the so-called supine position, but in the side position the pillow usually does not properly support the head.
  • Another pillow is known from DE-U-7420363.
  • this pillow two sections of equal size are separated by a middle folding seam and two delimiting seams arranged adjacent to each other on both sides.
  • the seams are straight, so that the cushion has a constant cross-section when viewed perpendicular to the seam.
  • this pillow is folded along the middle seam and is therefore only half the size of conventional pillows. Only the head should rest on this folded pillow.
  • a pillow which is divided into three filling sections by means of two seams, each interrupted or not interrupted, of which two smaller corners are arranged in opposite corners.
  • a seam which delimits a small corner section from the central, largest section, extends from one side edge of the cushion to an adjacent side edge and forms an angle of 45 ° therewith, so that the smaller section the pillow forms an isosceles, right-angled triangle.
  • the section which is arranged in the opposite corner and is medium in size is delimited by a seam opposite the central section which is the largest in area and which ends at two opposite longitudinal side edges of the cushion, the length of which is approximately twice the width.
  • this seam is largely straight and encloses an angle of approximately 45 ° with one side edge of the cushion, the seam is bent in the region of its other end and encloses an angle of approximately 10 ° with the opposite side edge.
  • the seam runs along a curve, which is partly straight, but mostly curved with increasing radius, the straight partial section perpendicularly intersecting a longitudinal side edge of the cushion, while the curved partial section of the seam cuts the opposite side edge under one Intersects an angle of approximately 10 °.
  • These two outer sections can be placed individually or together on the middle section and their corners can be fixed there.
  • the seam of a larger corner section can be bent overall or over a certain length.
  • a cuboid pillow which consists of two foam parts of the same height, which are connected to each other at a seam by a suitable adhesive.
  • the entire cushion thus has a constant thickness, but the two foam parts joined together at the seam have a different hardness.
  • the head is partly supported by the harder part of the pillow, so that the head does not sink as far as when lying on its back.
  • This pillow consisting of only two foam parts, differs significantly from the other pillows described here due to the choice of material and the resulting geometry and physics.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic pillow on which lie better and which is easier to handle.
  • This object is achieved by a pillow according to claim 1.
  • This new rectangular pillow with at least one seam dividing the pillow into several sections, formed by threads, the two ends of which run towards opposite side edges of the pillow, the pillow being foldable at the seam, the one section the pillow is designed as a neck support and the sections are filled with filler material, is now characterized in that the seam is arcuate, the apex of the seam is arranged in the middle thereof and the arcuate seam has a radius that the 0.6 to 2 times the length of a seam adjacent to the first side edge of the pillow and at least the smaller section of the pillow designed as a neck support is filled with spherical fiber aggregates.
  • the two sections of the cushion thus have a different cross-section in the middle of the seam than in the region of the respective ends of the seam.
  • the cushion has a different hardness behavior in the middle than at its two edges assigned to the ends of the seam, without additional seams having to be provided, as in known pillows.
  • the pillow therefore not only has two different hardness areas at the top and bottom, but also differences in the middle and on its lateral edge areas.
  • the distance between the apex of the seam and the side edge of the cushion adjacent to the seam is advantageously between 15 and 30 cm, preferably 20 cm.
  • the smaller section of the pillow can now be designed as a neck support.
  • the seam preferably cuts the two open the first side edge of vertical side edges at a distance from the first side edge that is greater than the distance of the vertex from the first seam.
  • the seam cuts, for example, the two side edges standing vertically on the first side edge at a distance from the first side edge which is between 20 and 50 cm.
  • the distance is, for example, 26 cm.
  • the smaller section of the cushion thus has a larger cross section at its two edges than at its central region.
  • the arcuate seam has a radius which preferably corresponds to 1.6 times the length of the side edge of the cushion adjacent to the seam. This relationship has proven to be advantageous.
  • the radius of the seam is then between 1 m and 1.6 m, preferably about 1.3 m.
  • the seam bent overall in a certain direction of curvature can itself have counterbends, e.g. Attention is paid to the fact that the pressure on the user's lower ear does not become too great when lying on the side, but essentially lies in the area of the seam.
  • the seam has a smaller radius at both ends than in its central apex region.
  • the edge regions of the smaller section of the pillow can thus be made even larger in cross-section with an approximately identical central region.
  • the section of the pillow designed as a neck support is expediently filled more firmly than the other section, so that the neck is provided with firm support while the head, which rests on the other section, is supported more gently.
  • the area of the pillow designed as a neck support is advantageously filled more firmly in the central area than in its edge areas.
  • the neck can be well supported in the supine position of the sleeper. In the side position, the head and thus also the neck can position itself outside the center of the pillow on the softer side parts.
  • the other section of the cushion can also be filled with the above-mentioned fiber aggregates, but it can also be filled with feathers, down or the like. be filled, preferably the feathers, down or the like. are arranged in a separate envelope.
  • the area of the pillow designed as a neck style can be filled more firmly in the central area than in its edge areas.
  • a zipper is arranged at least in one side edge of the pillow to which the seam runs, which forms an opening for both sections of the pillow. Filling material can be refilled or removed through this opening and the filling material can also be distributed over the width of the cushion as desired.
  • the threads forming the seam are sewn through the filling, i.e. the filling material is held there by the threads of the seam. This makes the pillow a little thicker in the area of the seam.
  • the seam of the pillow is zigzag-shaped and this zigzag pattern is relatively wide, e.g. 20 mm, a narrow unfilled or compressed strip can be provided between the two filled sections of the cushion. This makes it easier to bend the pillow at the seam.
  • the seam dividing the pillow into two sections can, however, also be designed as a double seam, i.e. by means of two spaced-apart parallel seams which are spaced e.g. Can have 20 mm.
  • the pillow consists of an upper and a lower half of the cover, which are sewn together.
  • a zipper 3 is incorporated, through which the interior of the cushion 1 is accessible at all times by the user.
  • the cushion 1 has an arcuate seam 4, which here has a constant radius of approximately 1.3 m.
  • the center point of this radius lies on a central axis arranged parallel to two of its side edges 5 and 6.
  • the apex of the seam 4 is here about 20 cm from the one side edge 7 perpendicular to the central axis, while the seam 4 intersects the two side edges 5 and 6 parallel to the central axis at a distance of about 26 cm from the one side edge 7.
  • the space between the side edge 7 and the seam 4 is formed as a neck support in particular in that the filling material is made harder there than in the remaining area of the pillow 1. This is achieved by using a filling material which is inherently harder or by the fact that there more filling material is filled in based on the volume.
  • a pillow which has more than two areas of different hardness, namely, on the one hand, a hard and a soft area in the central axis of the pillow and, outside the center of the pillow, assigned a soft area on the left and right in each case and each assigned to the soft central area on the left and right, an area that is firmer than this.
  • six different hardness areas are formed by this one arch-shaped seam, which at least partially flow smoothly into one another.
