Description

Pillow cover {PILLOW COVER}

The present invention relates to a pillow cover including a front surface and a rear surface, a fixing surface dividing a space between the front surface and the rear surface, and a cover surface of 1 to N sheets stored in a first space between the front surface and the fixing surface . The pillow cover according to the present invention significantly increases the period of sanitary use without washing.

When the pillow is used for a long time, the pillow is contaminated by contact with the user's hair or face skin. For example, oil may penetrate the pillow while the user is sleeping, and if the user does not dry the hair sufficiently before taking the sleep, the pillow may become wet due to moisture remaining in the hair, Cosmetic liquids, such as lotions, skins, or essences, that remain on the surface without being completely imbibed, can be put on the pillow.

These various factors cause an environment in which various bacteria and germs can reproduce on the pillow, and eventually cause various diseases such as hair loss, acne, eczema, and skin diseases to the user of the pillow. Pillows are used daily due to their nature, so careful management is needed in terms of hygiene.

Currently, pillows sold on the market are usually composed of pillows such as cotton, buckwheat husks, cutlery, sad hair, plastic chips and the like and a pillow cover that surrounds them. Generally, when washing the pillow, only the pillow cover is washed after separating the pillow cover from the pillow. However, since it takes a certain period of time to wash and dry the pillow cover, it is necessary to have another pillow cover to use the pillow during this blank period. Therefore, when the washing of the pillow cover is delayed for a certain period of time due to the troublesome or troublesome washing of the pillow cover, a sanitary problem arises.

Recognizing these problems, improved products are being researched and marketed in the related industry. For example, Registration Utility Model No. 20-0429987 provides a pillow and a detachable pillow cover so that the user can easily and easily replace the pillow cover when the pillow cover surrounding the pillow is contaminated. The pillow cover provided in the registration utility model publication can be easily detached from the pillow for washing, thereby promoting the user to more frequently wash the pillow cover. However, since the pillow cover provided in the registration utility model publication is composed of a single sheet, the time taken for the pillow cover to be contaminated is not different from the conventional pillow cover. As a result, there is still a problem that the period required for washing the pillow cover is short in the above-mentioned registered utility model publication.

Therefore, if the pillow cover can be cleaned hygienically and the washing cycle of the pillow cover can be increased, it is possible to solve the inconvenience and hygiene problems caused by frequent washing.

Registration Utility Model Bulletin No. 20-0429987 (October 31, 2006)

The present invention relates to a pillow cover which can easily extend the sanitary use period of the pillow cover by replacing the pillow cover easily without having to wash the cover surface which is in direct contact with the user's hair or face skin, The purpose is to provide.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention is directed to a front face (1); A back surface 2; A fixing surface (4) dividing a space between the front surface (1) and the back surface (2); And 1 to N sheets of cover surfaces (3) stored in a first space between the front surface (1) and the fixing surface (4).

When N is 1, the cover surface 3 is composed of one sheet. When N is 2, the cover surface 3 is composed of two sheets in total. When N is 3, the cover surface 3 is composed of three sheets in total. The number N is a positive integer of 1 or more, and the number can be appropriately selected according to the thickness of the pillow, the material, the user's preference, and the like.

In one region of the pillow cover, the front face 1, the back face 2, and the fixing face 4 are connected to each other to constitute the closing portion 5. At this time, the front surface 1, the back surface 2, and the fixing surface 4 may be connected together by various means such as sewing or adhesive. The closing portion 5 can not be opened.

The remaining region except for one region of the pillow cover constitutes an opening portion 6 in which the front face 1, the back face 2 and the fixing face 4 are not connected to each other. The pillow 7 can be inserted into the pillow cover through the opening 6. In the opening 6, the front face 1 and the back face 2 can be selectively connected to each other by the first fastening means 11. [ The first fastening means 11 may be a zipper, a button, a Velcro or a string, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, the first fastening means 11 is a zipper.

1 to N sheets of cover surface 3 are fixed to the fixing surface 4 of the opening 6 and are stored in the first space between the front surface 1 and the fixing surface 4. [ It is also possible to rotate the first to N pieces of cover surfaces 3 so as to be positioned above the front surface 1 and to be positioned in the second space between the fixing surface 4 and the rear surface 2 It is possible.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the front face 1 comprises at least one second fastening means 22. At this time, the first to N-pieces of cover surfaces 3 are provided with the third fastening means 33 which can be coupled to the second fastening means 22, respectively.

Here, the second fastening means and the third fastening means may be buttons, a velcro, a zipper, or a strap, but are not limited thereto. Preferably, the second fastening means and the third fastening means are buttons or Velcro.

When the user uses the pillow cover according to the present invention in combination with the pillow 7, the pillow 7 is located in the first space. At this time, the stacking order is from the top to the front surface 1, the pillow 7, the first cover surface 3-1, the second cover surface 3-2, ..., the N-1 cover surface, The cover surface 3-N, the fixing surface 4, and the back surface 2.

The first cover surface 3-1, the second cover surface 3-2, ..., the N-1 cover surface and the N cover surface 3-N, which constitute the cover surface 3, The design and color may be the same or different.

The shape of the pillow cover according to the present invention is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be embodied in various shapes such as an ellipse, a circle, and a polygon.

Conventionally, the pillow cover that is commercially available is composed of only one sheet consisting of the front and back sides. Therefore, if the user uses the pillow cover or is contaminated with time, the pillow cover should be separated from the pillow and washed immediately.

In contrast, according to the present invention, the pillow cover has a plurality of cover surfaces that are in contact with the user, thereby fundamentally solving the problems of the conventional pillow cover.

For example, when the cover surface 3 of the pillow cover according to the present invention is constituted by a single sheet, the front surface 1 of the pillow cover can be used as a portion to be in contact with the user at the time of first use. After the front face 1 of the pillow cover is dirty, the cover face 3 that has been stored neatly can be taken out and used as a portion in contact with the user to take a sleep. Therefore, even when the cover surface of the pillow cover according to the present invention is composed of a single sheet, it is possible to wash the clean pillow cover after two times of use, thereby extending the washing cycle of the pillow cover.

As another example, in the pillow cover according to the present invention, the cover surface 3 can be composed of two sheets. In this case, as in the above-described example, if the front face 1 is used first, a clean pillow cover can be used three times in total. That is, the user comes into contact with the user in the order of the front surface 1, the first cover surface 3-1, and the second cover surface 3-2.

A more preferable use method is to use the first cover surface 3-1 instead of the front surface 1 when using for the first time. This results in a total of two clean pillow covers. That is, since the first cover surface 3-1 and the second cover surface 3-2 are in contact with the user in this order, the number of times of use is lost once. However, there is an advantage that the front surface 1, in which the first cover surface 3-1 and the second cover surface 3-2 are sequentially placed thereon, can be kept in a state of being uncontaminated.

Therefore, the pillow cover according to the present invention has the effect of using a substantially clean pillow cover at least twice without washing. Such an effect can significantly extend the washing cycle of the pillow cover, thereby greatly improving the convenience of the user. In addition, even when sudden events occur, such as pouring beverages on the pillow cover or getting rid of pimples from the face or head due to acne, the entire pillow cover can be cleaned without having to wash the entire pillow cover So that the washing of the pillow cover can be delayed to the desired time.

Thus, the pillow cover according to the present invention exhibits an effect difference that is never predictable from a conventional pillow cover in that it is additionally provided with a cleanly stored cover surface. The user is more frequently exposed to the contaminated cover surface by using a clean cover surface, which is beneficial to the user in terms of hygiene.

In addition, since the front surface of the pillow cover and one or more cover surfaces according to the present invention can have different designs and colors, the user can obtain various aesthetic effects with only one pillow cover according to the present invention.
