Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an osteopathic pillow.
  • a pillow of the type comprising a mass of elastically deformable material provided with a top, on which the head of a user is intended to be placed, and a bottom, intended to be placed in abutment on a pillow support, the top being connected to the bottom by at least one scapular side.
  • an anatomical pillow has a suitable shape to support the user's cervical. Indeed, according to a widespread opinion, it is considered that the cervical must be supported during the periods of extended rest. However, usually, at the end of the day, a person's cervical lordosis is accentuated by the tension in the neck leading to the retraction of the cervical muscles.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a pillow of the aforementioned type allowing a gentle and progressive stretching of the cervical muscles to relax this vertebral segment during periods of extended rest.
  • the subject of the invention is a pillow of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the scapular side is provided with a scapular notch forming, on the one hand, a clearance for the cervical muscles of the user when the latter is lying on the back and, on the other hand, a housing for the shoulder of the user when the latter is lying on the side.
  • the top comprises a partial housing recess of the head of the user, said head reception depression; - the top includes a cervical connecting groove forming a cervical clearance extending between the head receiving depression and the scapular notch, so as to avoid or, at least, limit, the contact of the user's neck with the top of the mass; -
  • the mass of deformable material comprises an orifice, called the auricular orifice, provided with two ends opening respectively into the head receiving depression and below, this auricular orifice making it possible to avoid or, at least, to limit, the compression of the user's ear in contact with the pillow, when this user is lying on his side; - the top is connected to the bottom by two opposite scapular sides which may each be in contact with the user's shoulder depending on the choice of the latter, these two opposite scapular sides being each provided with a scapular notch; -
  • the top comprises two cervical connecting gutters each extending between the head positioning depression and a corresponding
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pillow according to the invention ;
  • FIG. 2 is a side view, with a longitudinal section, of the pillow shown in Figure 1, showing a user, lying on his side, having his head resting on the pillow;
  • - Figures 3 and 4 are top views of the pillow shown in the previous figures, showing a user lying respectively on the side and on the back.
  • osteopathic pillow designated by the general reference 10.
  • the pillow 10 comprises a mass 12 of elastically deformable material, preferably synthetic or natural foam, the material being moreover anti-mite .
  • the mass 12 of deformable material can be, if necessary, covered with a cap not shown in the figures.
  • the mass 12 of deformable material has a generally prismatic shape. More particularly, the mass 12 is based on an isosceles trapezoid T, the outline of which is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the mass 12 of deformable material is provided with a top 14, on which the head of a user H is intended to be placed.
  • the mass 12 of deformable material is also provided with a bottom 16, intended to be placed in abutment on a support of the pillow 10, in general a bedding element, such as a mattress.
  • the top 14 is connected to the bottom 16 by a first scapular side 18A, intended to come into contact with the shoulder or the shoulders of the user H.
  • the first scapular side 18A is provided with a first scapular notch 20A forming a housing for the shoulder of user H, when he is lying on his side, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • This first notch 20A also forms a clearance for the neck of user H when he is lying on the back, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the top 14 includes a recess 22 for partially housing the head of the user H, called recess 22 for receiving the head.
  • the first scapular notch 20A is connected to the recess 22 for receiving the head by a first cervical connecting groove 24A.
  • This groove 24A forms a cervical clearance intended to avoid or, at least, limit the contact of the neck of the user H with the top 14 of the mass 12.
  • the mass 12 of deformable material comprises an orifice 26, called the auricular orifice, provided with two ends opening respectively into the recess 22 for receiving the head and into the underside 16 of the mass 12.
  • the ear hole 26 has the function of avoiding or, at the very least, of limiting, the compression of the ear of user H in contact with the pillow 10, when this user H is lying on his side, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the top 14 is connected to the bottom 16 by a second scapular side 18B opposite at the first scapular side 18A.
  • the two parallel sides of the trapezoid T delimit the two scapular sides 18A, 18B respectively.
  • the other two sides of the trapezoid T respectively form the top 14 and the bottom 16 of the mass 12 of deformable material.
  • the second scapular side 18B is, similarly to the first scapular side 18A, provided with a second scapular notch 20B having the same function as the first notch 20A.
  • the top 14 of the mass 12 of deformable material is also provided with a second cervical groove 24B extending between the recess 22 for receiving the head and the second scapular notch 20B.
  • the top 14 and the bottom 16 of the mass 12 have similar shapes and can be used for one another.
  • the bottom 16 comprises, like the top 14, a recess 22 for receiving the head, into which the atrial orifice 26 opens, and two cervical grooves 24A, 24B.
  • the material of the mass 12 can be composite so that the part of the mass 12 forming, for example, the top 14 is relatively dense, so that it is suitable for winter and the part of the mass 12 forming the underside 16 is relatively ventilated, so that it is suitable for summer.
  • the main aspects of the use of the pillow 10 related to the invention will be specified below. When the user H is lying on his side, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, he places his head in a recess 22, for example that formed on the top 14 of the pillow.
  • the ear of the user H, in contact with the pillow, is at least partially housed in the ear hole 26, which makes it possible to limit the compression of this ear.
  • the shoulder of the user H in the supine position which is in contact with the pillow 10, tends to approach the head of this user.
  • the scapular notch 20A makes it possible to accommodate this shoulder close to the head.
  • the connecting groove 24A forms a clearance for the neck of user H so that this vertebral segment is practically not supported on the pillow 10. This allows a gentle and progressive stretching of the neck.
  • the top 14 and the bottom 16 converge from the second scapular side 18B to the first scapular side 18A of height less than that of the second scapular side 18B.
  • the notch 20A and the cervical groove 24A form clearances making it possible to avoid, or at least to limit, the contact of the cervical on the pillow 10
  • the cervical muscles can stretch gently and gradually in order to relax this vertebral segment during the extended period of the user.
  • the atrial orifice 26 optimizes the ventilation of the pillow 10 so as to limit the possible perspiration of the user H and / or promote the elimination of this perspiration.
