l. BUCHMAN Sept 10, 1957 FILLOW Filed Sept. 30, 1954 .27.25.27 a: lslDozE BUCHMAN United States Patent O PILLOW Isidore Buchman, Chicago, Ill., assignor to American eather Products, Chicago, Ill., a copartnership consisting of Isidore Buchman, Elias Buci'nnan and Ida rman Application September 30, 1954, Serial No. 459,286
1 Claim. (Cl. -341) This invention relates to pillows, cushions, and the like.
It is one of the objects of this invention to provide a pillow or the like having a stratified filling where the filling layers are so proportioned and located that maximum softness and buoyancy are obtained with a minimum of expensive material.
A further object of the invention is to provide a pillow having superimposed layers of filling material which are contained in separate compartments formed by thin sheets of fabric which are arranged and connected together to provide a pillow of lower cost and longer life.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pillow having a stratified filling construction including down feathers in the outermost layers of the pillow, and a buoyant inner layer of other feathers, and which maintain its Shape, softness and buoyancy for a long period of time.
The features of the present invention by means of which the above and other objects of the invention are attained will be described in the specification to follow taken in conjunction with the drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred form of pillow incorporating the present invention;
'Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section through the pillow;
Fig. 3 is a further enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a part of the pillow;
'Fig. 4 is a plan view of the pillow bag just after the panels making up the pillow bag have been sewed together and prior to its being turned inside out and filled with feathers; and
Fig. 5 is an exploded sectional view of the pillow bag of Fig. 4, taken along section line 5-5.
Reference should now be made to the drawings where like reference numerals indicate like elements throughout.
The pillow includes a pillow bag 2 having similar outer panels or pieces 4-4 made of strong, feather-proof ticking material and inner panels or pieces 6-6 of a muslin-like material of the same size and shape as the outer panels. The panels are secured together at their peripheries where a beaded edge 8 is provided.
In constructing the pillow bag, a beaded edging assembly 8 is interposed between the two similar fiat panels 4-4 of ticking material (see Figs. 4 and 5) and the muslin panels 6-6 are placed together on the outside of one of the panels 4. The edging assembly 8 consists of a cord 16 about which a strip of ticking material 13 has been folded. The assembly is orientated so that the edges of the folded over strip 13 are fiush with the edges of the panels 4-4 and 6-6. With the edges of the various panels in appropriate alig'nment, the edges of the panels and strip 13 are stitched together at 17 leaving a portion nnsewed along one side to provide for an opening into 'ice the bag. Then the pillow bag is turned inside out so that the ticking panels 4-4 are on the outside as shown in Fig. 3. The cord portion of the edging assembly then protrudes beyond the panels 4-4v to provide a smooth beaded edge, all stitching being hidden from view.
Between each outer panel 4 and the adjacent inner panels 6 is defined a filling compartment 10,'and between the inner panels 6-6 is defined an intermediate filling compartment 12. The intermediate compartment 12 is preferably filled with short coarse duck feathers which have buoyant weight-supporting resilient qualities. A filling of soft down feathers is placed in the outer filling compartments 10-10. When the pillow bag is filled, the open portion of the bag is stitched together.
The thickness of the down layers in each of these compartments is slightly less than one-third of the overall thickness of the pillow, which is preferably a few inches, a small fraction of the width of an average adulfs head. The density of the down feathers is such that it provides the requisite softness. Accordingly, the usefs head will sink into the pillow for a distance slightly less than the depth of one of the down layers, since the buoyancy of the intermediate filling layer .12 is suflicient to support the weight of the persons head without contracting an appreciable amount.
The construction of the pillow bag just described is such that the filling compartments 10 and 12 extend the length and the width of the pillow so that even the outermost portions of the pillow are soft and buoyant and will maintain their shape over a long period of time.
The proportiouing of the filling layers of the pillow is such that a minimum amount of filling material is needed to provide the requisite softness and buoyaney, and the pillow bag construction is simple, economical and one which will maintain the desired pillow shape for a long period of time.
An example of the preferred embodiment of the invention is as follows:
a. The panels 4-4 and 6-6 of the completed pillow bag were approximately 26" x 20" when unfilled.
b. Four ounces of down feathers were evenly distributed in each compartment 10 and sixteen ounces of coarse duck feathers were evenly distributed in the central compartment 12.
In compliance with the requirements of the patent statutes I have here shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention. It is, however, to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction here shown, the same being merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. What I consider new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A pillow comprising four superposed rectangular panels of the same size 'and shape stitched together by one continuous line of stitchings that extends through all four of the panels along the perimeter thereof continuously along successive sides of the panels and terminates short of completely around the entire periphery of the panels thereby producing a bag that can be turned inside out, and separate stitching closing the gap between the ends of the line of stitchings, two panels being of ticking material and constituting the outer panels of the pillow, the two inner panels constituting an inner bag within the two outer panels, the line of stitching that forms the inner bag also securing the inner bag to the entire perimeters of the outer panels thereby forming on opposite sides of the inner bag two outer bags that are out of communication with the inner bag and are kept out of communication with one another by the continuous line
