SHAMPOO PILLOW Filed June 17, 1942 INVENTOR.
She/don Jib/1 Wells Patented June 20, 1944 SHAMPOO PILLOW Sheldon Holt Wells and Ida May Wells, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application June 17, 1942, Serial No. 447,336
3 Claims.
reclining position and further that, while in such reclining position, the child's head will rest in a suitable depression permanently formed in the pillow.
To provide a pillow which may be used as a prop while administering a head shampoo wherein the attached flap performs the function of controlling the direction of flow of the shampooing liquid so that it will be directed into a receptacle.
Other objects, features, and advantages of construction will hereinafter appear.
Referring to the drawing, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,
Fig. l is a front perspective View of our improved pillow, and
Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof.
Referring in detail to the drawing the invention shown therein comprises a'pillow block shaped as a geometrical solid whose ends 2 are similar, equal and parallel polygons, said polythe angles of the pillow ends and at the midwidth of the long sheet which forms the sides of the pillow, the length of said depression extending transversely of said sheet.
Anyone of or a variety of conventional stuffings may be selected for filling the pillow, which will more or less maintain the shape of the solid, but none the less afford a comfortable position for the individual being shampooed. When the pillow is stuffed the curved depression is in a proper position to supply a rest for the neck and head.
In use the patient assumes a reclining or semireclining position with the head extending beyond the face 6 and overlying the apron or flap B. The apron B directs the, downflowing liquid of the shampoo from the face 6 into a suitable receptacle located adjacent thereto.
The pillow maybe varied considerably in shape and still come within the scope of the claimed invention, provided it has an inclined front head rest portion, an upstanding rear face and a drain flap positioned to conduct away liquid descendgons, by preference and as shown, being triangles.
The numeral 3 indicates the vertical leg of the triangle, 4 the base, and 5 the hypotenuse thereof. The faces of the solid which join the polygonal ends consists of three parallelograms, the
vertically extending parallelogram 6, the base parallelogram I, and the angularly directed or inclined parallelogram 8.
At the midlength of the solid where the upper edges of the parallelograms 6 and 8 meet there is'a depression or concavity A formed along each of said upper edges. I
As viewed in Fig. 2, the base parallelogram I, angularly directed parallelogram 8, vertically directed parallelogram 6 and flap B are preferably constructed from a single sheet of waterproof or semi-waterproof material, and the end polygons, constructed of a similar material, are attached thereto by conventional binding or wedging. The stufling is applied before the final stitching operation of uniting the free edge of the base parallelogram to the adjacent fold line of the flap B.
Owing to the fact that the flap B is continuous with the sheet which forms the vertical rear face of the pillow there is no leak-producing joint at the juncture of the flap with the body portion of the pillow. The depression A is located between ing over said rear face.
We are aware that prior to our invention pillows have been made in a triangular shape, we therefore do not claim such a pillow broadly, but we claim:
1. A shampoo pillow which, when operatively stationed upon a horizontal surface, has an inclined front face, an upstanding rear face, a basal face, polygonal end portions uniting said faces at each end of the pillow, said pillow also having in the midlength portion only of the meeting line of said front face and said rear face a curved depression, and stuffing to maintain said depression and pillow faces in their operasion occupying only the midwidth portion of the pillow and shaped to form a comfortable headrest, an upstanding rear face, a drain flap carried by the pillow and positioned to conduct away liquid draining from the head of a person in a backwardly overhanging relation to said depression, and stufling providing a rigid structure whereby the contour of said curved depression is maintained in shape.
