Definitions
- the present invention relates to an anatomically shaped pad, which is particularly useful as a whole body pillow, comprising at least one curved portion in plan view and at least one comparatively elongated central portion for the body portion, which merges into the bent portion, wherein at least one leg of the pad for the Head portion is provided and at least one leg of the pad for the body area is provided.
- a cushion having the aforementioned features, which is referred to as a full body pillow, as it has about body length and because, unlike a conventional pillow, the pillow allows a person to lie on the pillow with parts of the whole body.
- the cushion can be changed within certain limits by bending in its outline. It allows for different lying positions in which different parts of the body rest on the cushion, for example head and thighs or upper body and lower legs.
- the elongate central portion can also be used to support the back of a person, the curved portions can also be used on the one hand as a knee pad and on the other hand as an armrest. Since this known pillow end has two bent portions and has a total of about a C-shape, it is indeed suitable as a body pillow when the person occupies a curved reclining position, but is less well suited for a largely extended lying position.
- the known pillow has a shorter head portion leg which merges into the elongated body portion leg in an approximately 90 ° bent portion.
- This Kirkschenkel runs in a straight line in the known pillow.
- another curved portion for the leg rest or lower leg support is provided, in which case an approximately 180 ° bent U-section is present.
- the result is for the cushion about an elongated C-shape.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an anatomically shaped cushion of the type mentioned that a person lying in a largely extended state or with only slightly tightened legs in a natural sleeping position both a support along the Body offers as well as a pad in the head area.
- the head area leg and the body area leg take an acute angle with each other.
- This plan shape of the whole-body cushion is advantageous, for example, if the person occupies a side sleeping position in which he has turned his stomach towards the body region leg, since then the upper body is received in the free space between the body region leg and the head region leg given by the acute angle.
- the comparatively elongated middle section which forms the body region limb runs in a gentle curvature which is curved in the opposite direction of rotation as the bent section.
- the body region leg merges into an end-side rectilinear foot region leg.
- the cushion according to the invention has approximately the plan view of a sieve, wherein the head leg forms the head of the wires, the body leg forms the middle portion of the wires and the leg portion forms the bottom end foot of the wires.
- the special shape of the seven combines the advantages of several cushions.
- the seven is a pleasantly supportive pillow, which relieves the neck and shoulders while providing a perfect leg support. With the help of the sturdy leg rest the spine stays in perfect balance and also the knees are padded. The sum of the positive factors that result from this particular shape of the pillow, a healthy sleep is promoted in a lateral position and the disapproved by many medical practitioners prone position can be easily avoided.
- the head area leg can have a larger cross section in its free end area than in the other areas, and the head area leg can, for example, also have a larger cross section in its free end area than the body area leg.
- the pillow according to the invention may, for example, have a crowned, approximately cylindrical, oval or elliptical cross section. Both the size of the cross-section and the cross-sectional shape can vary over the length of the pad.
- the cushion has a cushion cover which is filled with packing, so that the pad yields to weight pressure.
- the cushion preferably has at least in the body portion leg an outer cushion cover, within which by far an inner cover is arranged, wherein in the space between the outer cushion cover and inner cover at least one fleece is arranged. This results in a soft, but not too flexible leg rest.
- the interior of the inner cover can be filled, for example, with microbeads, which results in supporting and relieving the spine, the hip and the pelvic area in the area of the body limb.
- This section of the pillow also serves as a knee pad, supports the thorax and relieves the respiration.
- the pillow of the invention promotes the lateral position of the person by its planform and thereby helps to reduce snoring and abdominal slump, because in abdominal or reserve the airways are additionally narrowed.
- the shape of the sieves prevents moving out of the orthopedic recommended side position.
- the result is an optimal support effect in the region of the body area leg.
- the filling of the pillow in the head area may differ from that in the body area.
- the cushion in the head region leg may have a filling of preferably rhombic foams made of foam, which are dimensioned larger than the fillers in the body region limb, the latter preferably being microbeads, for example, of EPS (foamed polystyrene).
- EPS fuoamed polystyrene
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a pillow according to the invention, which is designated overall by the reference numeral 10.
- This cushion has a head portion leg 11, which merges via a bent portion 14 in the elongated body portion legs 12.
- the body region leg 12 finally merges into the foot region leg 13 at the end.
- the cushion thus has approximately the overall plan view of a seven, wherein the head portion leg 11 forms the head of the sieves, the body portion leg 12 forms the central portion of the wires and the réelle Schemesschenkel 13 forms the lower end foot of the wires.
- the bent portion 14 is the transition between the head of the wires and the middle portion of the wires. Since the head portion leg 11 makes an acute angle with the body portion leg 12, the bent portion 14 describes an arc of more than 90 °.
- the head portion leg 11 has in its free end region 15, that is, at its end remote from the bent portion 14, a slightly larger cross section than in the other areas.
- the head portion leg thus tapers slightly between the end portion 15 and the bent portion 14, where the cross section increases again.
- the head portion leg 11 in its free end portion 14 has a cross section which is larger than the cross section of the body portion leg 12. From the thickened arcuate portion thus the cross section can be approximately constant up to the sans Kirschenkel 13 out.
- the cushion may have a convex approximately oval, elliptical or approximately cylindrical cross-section.
- the cushion deforms under weight pressure, but its filling is designed so that the pad is not too soft and thus does not deform too much, so that in particular in the region of the body portion leg 12 a sufficient support function is maintained.
- the planter shape of the pad which is similar to the number seven, is chosen such that the comparatively elongated middle section, which forms the body region leg of the pad, runs in a gentle curve, which is curved in the opposite direction of rotation as the bent section 14.
- the foot region 13 then runs the pillow in an approximately straight end.
- the elongate central portion of the screens is curved and oriented so that the end of the elongated central portion, that is, the end of the foot portion 13, is oriented approximately perpendicular to the center of the head portion leg 11.
- the body portion leg 12 due to the gentle curvature, gradually advances into a perpendicular orientation to the head portion leg as the distance from the head portion leg 11 increases from an acute angle to the head portion leg 11.
- the gently arcuately oriented body region limb 12 based on the shape of the sieves, extends from the bent section 14 overall approximately diagonally to the alignment of the head region limb 11.
- FIG. 2 shows a lying person 16 in sleeping position in the lateral position, which lies on and on a pillow 10 according to the invention.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein anatomisch geformtes Kissen, welches insbesondere als Ganzkörperkissen verwendbar ist, umfassend im Grundriss betrachtet wenigstens einen gebogenen Abschnitt sowie wenigstens einen vergleichsweise langgestreckten mittleren Abschnitt für den Körperbereich, der in den gebogenen Abschnitt übergeht, wobei wenigstens ein Schenkel des Kissens für den Kopfbereich vorgesehen ist und wenigstens ein Schenkel des Kissens für den Körperbereich vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to an anatomically shaped pad, which is particularly useful as a whole body pillow, comprising at least one curved portion in plan view and at least one comparatively elongated central portion for the body portion, which merges into the bent portion, wherein at least one leg of the pad for the Head portion is provided and at least one leg of the pad for the body area is provided.
In der
Das bekannte Kissen hat einen kürzeren Kopfbereichsschenkel, der in einem etwa 90 ° gebogenen Abschnitt in den langgestreckten Körperbereichsschenkel übergeht. Dieser Körperbereichsschenkel verläuft bei dem bekannten Kissen geradlinig. Am anderen Ende des langgestreckten Körperbereichsschenkels ist ein weiterer gebogener Abschnitt für die Beinauflage oder Unterschenkelauflage vorgesehen, wobei hier ein etwa 180 ° umgebogener U-Abschnitt vorhanden ist. Insgesamt ergibt sich für das Kissen etwa eine langgestreckte C-Form.The known pillow has a shorter head portion leg which merges into the elongated body portion leg in an approximately 90 ° bent portion. This Körperbereichsschenkel runs in a straight line in the known pillow. At the other end of the elongated Körperbereichsschenkels another curved portion for the leg rest or lower leg support is provided, in which case an approximately 180 ° bent U-section is present. Overall, the result is for the cushion about an elongated C-shape.
Ausgehend von dem genannten Stand der Technik besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, ein anatomisch geformtes Kissen der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, welches einer liegenden Person in einem weitgehend ausgestreckten Zustand oder mit nur leicht angezogenen Beinen in einer natürlichen Schlafposition sowohl eine Stütze entlang des Körpers bietet als auch eine Auflage im Kopfbereich.Based on the cited prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an anatomically shaped cushion of the type mentioned that a person lying in a largely extended state or with only slightly tightened legs in a natural sleeping position both a support along the Body offers as well as a pad in the head area.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe liefert ein anatomisch geformtes Kissen der eingangs genannten Gattung mit den Merkmalen des Schutzanspruchs 1.The solution to this problem provides an anatomically shaped cushion of the aforementioned type with the features of the protection claim. 1
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Kopfbereichsschenkel und der Körperbereichsschenkel einen spitzen Winkel miteinander einnehmen. Diese Grundrissform des Ganzkörperkissens ist beispielsweise vorteilhaft, wenn die Person eine Seitenschläferlage einnimmt, in der sie den Bauch dem Körperbereichsschenkel zugewandt hat, da dann der Oberkörper in dem durch den spitzen Winkel gegebenen Freiraum zwischen Körperbereichsschenkel und Kopfbereichsschenkel aufgenommen ist.According to the invention, it is provided that the head area leg and the body area leg take an acute angle with each other. This plan shape of the whole-body cushion is advantageous, for example, if the person occupies a side sleeping position in which he has turned his stomach towards the body region leg, since then the upper body is received in the free space between the body region leg and the head region leg given by the acute angle.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei weiterhin, wenn der vergleichsweise langgestreckte mittlere Abschnitt, der den Körperbereichsschenkel bildet, in einer sanften Krümmung verläuft, welche im entgegengesetzten Drehsinn gekrümmt ist wie der gebogene Abschnitt. Diese Form passt sich besonders gut an eine gesunde ergonomische Körperhaltung im Schlaf an, wie später noch anhand der Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnehme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert wird.It is furthermore particularly advantageous if the comparatively elongated middle section which forms the body region limb runs in a gentle curvature which is curved in the opposite direction of rotation as the bent section. This form adapts particularly well to a healthy ergonomic body posture during sleep, as will be explained later with reference to the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt so, dass der Körperbereichsschenkel in einen endseitigen geradlinig verlaufenden Fußbereichsschenkel übergeht. Besonders bevorzugt hat das erfindungsgemäße Kissen etwa die Grundrissform einer Sieben, wobei der Kopfbereichsschenkel den Kopf der Sieben bildet, der Körperbereichsschenkel den mittleren Abschnitt der Sieben bildet und der Fußbereichsschenkel den unteren endseitigen Fuß der Sieben bildet. Die besondere Form der Sieben vereint die Vorteile von mehreren Kissen. Die Sieben ist ein angenehm stützendes Kopfkissen, welches Nacken und Schulterpartie entlastet und gleichzeitig eine perfekte Beinauflage bietet. Mit Hilfe der stabilen Beinauflage bleibt die Wirbelsäule in perfekter Balance und auch die Knie werden gepolstert. Durch die Summe der positiven Faktoren, die sich aus dieser besonderen Form des Kissens ergeben, wird ein gesunder Schlaf in Seitenlage gefördert und die von vielen Medizinern abgeratene Bauchlage kann leichter vermieden werden.Furthermore, it is preferred that the body region leg merges into an end-side rectilinear foot region leg. More preferably, the cushion according to the invention has approximately the plan view of a sieve, wherein the head leg forms the head of the wires, the body leg forms the middle portion of the wires and the leg portion forms the bottom end foot of the wires. The special shape of the seven combines the advantages of several cushions. The seven is a pleasantly supportive pillow, which relieves the neck and shoulders while providing a perfect leg support. With the help of the sturdy leg rest the spine stays in perfect balance and also the knees are padded. The sum of the positive factors that result from this particular shape of the pillow, a healthy sleep is promoted in a lateral position and the disapproved by many medical practitioners prone position can be easily avoided.
Der Kopfbereichsschenkel kann beispielsweise in seinem freien Endbereich einen größeren Querschnitt aufweisen als in den übrigen Bereichen und der Kopfbereichsschenkel kann beispielsweise auch in seinem freien Endbereich einen größeren Querschnitt aufweisen als der Körperbereichsschenkel. Das erfindungsgemäße Kissen kann beispielsweise einen balligen, annähernd zylindrischen, ovalen oder elliptischen Querschnitt aufweisen. Sowohl die Größe des Querschnitts als auch die Querschnittsform können über die Länge des Kissens variieren.For example, the head area leg can have a larger cross section in its free end area than in the other areas, and the head area leg can, for example, also have a larger cross section in its free end area than the body area leg. The pillow according to the invention may, for example, have a crowned, approximately cylindrical, oval or elliptical cross section. Both the size of the cross-section and the cross-sectional shape can vary over the length of the pad.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Kissen eine Kissenhülle aufweist, welche mit Füllkörpern gefüllt ist, so dass das Kissen auf Gewichtsdruck nachgibt. Das Kissen weist dabei bevorzugt mindestens im Körperbereichsschenkel eine äußere Kissenhülle auf, innerhalb derer mit Abstand ein Innenbezug angeordnet ist, wobei in dem Raum zwischen äußerer Kissenhülle und Innenbezug wenigstens ein Vlies angeordnet ist. Damit ergibt sich eine weiche, aber nicht zu nachgiebige Beinauflage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cushion has a cushion cover which is filled with packing, so that the pad yields to weight pressure. The cushion preferably has at least in the body portion leg an outer cushion cover, within which by far an inner cover is arranged, wherein in the space between the outer cushion cover and inner cover at least one fleece is arranged. This results in a soft, but not too flexible leg rest.
Das Innere des Innenbezugs kann beispielsweise mit Mikroperlen gefüllt sein, wodurch sich im Bereich des Körperschenkels ein Stützen und eine Entlastung der Wirbelsäule, des Hüft- und des Beckenbereichs ergibt. Dieser Abschnitt des Kissens dient auch als Kniepolsterung, stützt den Brustkorb und entlastet die Atmung.The interior of the inner cover can be filled, for example, with microbeads, which results in supporting and relieving the spine, the hip and the pelvic area in the area of the body limb. This section of the pillow also serves as a knee pad, supports the thorax and relieves the respiration.
Das erfindungsgemäße Kissen fördert durch seine Grundrissform die Seitenlage der Person und hilft dadurch, Schnarchen und Bauchlagenschlaf zu reduzieren, denn in Bauch- oder Rücklage werden die Atemwege zusätzlich verengt. Die Form der Sieben verhindert ein sich heraus Bewegen aus der orthopädisch empfohlenen Seitenlage.The pillow of the invention promotes the lateral position of the person by its planform and thereby helps to reduce snoring and abdominal slump, because in abdominal or reserve the airways are additionally narrowed. The shape of the sieves prevents moving out of the orthopedic recommended side position.
Wenn das Innere des Innenbezugs mit Mikroperlen gefüllt ist, ergibt sich ein optimaler Stützeffekt im Bereich des Körperbereichsschenkels. Die Füllung des Kissens im Kopfbereich kann sich von derjenigen im Körperbereich unterscheiden. Beispielsweise kann das Kissen im Kopfbereichsschenkel eine Füllung aus vorzugsweise rhombischen Füllkörpern aus Schaumstoff aufweisen, welche größer dimensioniert sind, als die Füllkörper im Körperbereichsschenkel, wobei letztere bevorzugt Mikroperlen beispielsweise aus EPS (aufgeschäumtem Polystyrol) sind. Das Kissen ist damit in den Bereichen, wo ein Stützeffekt gewünscht ist, nicht zu weich. Es ist ausreichend stark gefüllt, wobei die Füllung vergleichsweise geringe Geräusche bei Bewegungen der schlafenden Person hervorruft.If the interior of the inner cover is filled with microbeads, the result is an optimal support effect in the region of the body area leg. The filling of the pillow in the head area may differ from that in the body area. For example, the cushion in the head region leg may have a filling of preferably rhombic foams made of foam, which are dimensioned larger than the fillers in the body region limb, the latter preferably being microbeads, for example, of EPS (foamed polystyrene). The cushion is therefore not too soft in areas where a support effect is desired. It is sufficiently filled, the filling causes comparatively low noise during movements of the sleeping person.
In den Unteransprüchen sind bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabenlösung beschrieben. Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Detailbeschreibung.Preferred embodiments of the task solution according to the invention are described in the subclaims. Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.

Zunächst wird auf die
Der Kopfbereichsschenkel 11 weist in seinem freien Endbereich 15, also an seinem dem gebogenen Abschnitt 14 abgewandten Ende, einen etwas größeren Querschnitt auf als in den übrigen Bereichen. Der Kopfbereichsschenkel verjüngt sich somit etwas zwischen dem Endbereich 15 und dem gebogenen Abschnitt 14, wo der Querschnitt wieder zunimmt. Außerdem hat der Kopfbereichsschenkel 11 in seinem freien Endbereich 14 einen Querschnitt, der größer ist als der Querschnitt des Körperbereichsschenkels 12. Ab dem verdickten bogenförmigen Abschnitt kann somit der Querschnitt bis zum Fußbereichsschenkel 13 hin in etwa gleichbleibend sein. Abgesehen vom Endbereich 15 und vom gebogenen Abschnitt 14, wo sich das Kissen jeweils verbreitert und damit eine flachere Querschnittsform annimmt, da die Höhe des Kissens in etwa gleich bleibt, kann das Kissen einen balligen etwa ovalen, elliptischen oder annähernd zylindrischen Querschnitt aufweisen. Das Kissen verformt sich natürlich unter Gewichtsdruck, aber seine Füllung ist so ausgelegt, dass das Kissen nicht zu weich ist und sich somit nicht zu stark verformt, so dass insbesondere im Bereich des Körperbereichsschenkels 12 eine ausreichende Stützfunktion erhalten bleibt.The
Die der Zahl Sieben ähnliche Grundrissform des Kissens ist so gewählt, dass der vergleichsweise langgestreckte mittlere Abschnitt, der den Körperbereichsschenkel des Kissens bildet, in einer sanften Krümmung verläuft, welche im entgegengesetzten Drehsinn gekrümmt ist wie der gebogene Abschnitt 14. Zum Fußbereich 13 hin läuft dann das Kissen in einem etwa geraden Endbereich aus. Der langgestreckte mittlere Abschnitt der Sieben ist so gekrümmt und so ausgerichtet, das das Ende des langgestreckten mittleren Abschnitts, das heißt das Ende des Fußbereichs 13, etwa rechtwinklig zur Mitte des Kopfbereichsschenkels 11 ausgerichtet ist. Vom gebogenen Abschnitt 14 ausgehend verläuft der Körperbereichsschenkel 12 aufgrund der sanften Krümmung so, dass er sich mit zunehmender Entfernung vom Kopfbereichsschenkel 11 ausgehend von einer spitzwinkligen Ausrichtung zum Kopfbereichsschenkel 11 allmählich in eine rechtwinklige Ausrichtung zum Kopfbereichsschenkel begibt. Dabei verläuft der sanft bogenförmig ausgerichtete Körperbereichsschenkel 12 aufgrund der Form der Sieben von dem gebogenen Abschnitt 14 ausgehend insgesamt in etwa diagonal zur Ausrichtung des Kopfbereichsschenkels 11.The planter shape of the pad, which is similar to the number seven, is chosen such that the comparatively elongated middle section, which forms the body region leg of the pad, runs in a gentle curve, which is curved in the opposite direction of rotation as the
