Fire retardant pillow
A fire retardant pillow for protecting against and controlling fires resulting from a malfunctioning electronic device may include a pillow body having a layered construction and a pocket extending into a central region of the pillow body. The layered construction may be made of an outer fabric covering; an inner fabric layer lining the pocket; and a fire retardant layer positioned between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric covering. The layered construction may further include an aramid fiber layer positioned between the inner fabric layer and the fire retardant layer; and a Faraday material layer positioned between the aramid fiber layer and the inner fabric layer.
1 . A fire retardant pillow for protecting against and controlling fires resulting from a malfunctioning electronic device, the pillow comprising:
a pillow body having a layered construction; and
a pocket extending into a central region of the pillow body,
wherein the layered construction comprises:
an outer fabric covering;
an inner fabric layer lining the pocket and fastened to the outer fabric covering, thus forming a compartment therebetween; and
a fire retardant layer positioned within the compartment between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric covering.
2 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , wherein the fire retardant layer comprises a plurality of breakable members, the plurality of breakable members each containing a volume of a fire retardant material.
3 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of breakable members are positioned within a plastic diaphragm.
4 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , wherein the outer fabric covering comprises a first outer covering configured to cover a top surface of the pillow body and a second outer covering configured to cover side surfaces and a bottom surface of the pillow body.
5 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 4 , wherein:
the first outer covering comprises a leather material; and
the second outer covering comprises a cotton material.
6 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 4 , further comprising an aramid layer positioned between the first outer covering and the fire retardant layer.
7 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , further comprising a Faraday material layer positioned between the inner fabric layer and the fire retardant layer.
8 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , further comprising an aramid fiber layer positioned between the inner fabric layer and the fire retardant layer.
9 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , further comprising:
an aramid fiber layer positioned between the inner fabric layer and the fire retardant layer; and
a Faraday material layer positioned between the aramid fiber layer and the inner fabric layer.
10 . The fire retardant pillow of claim 1 , wherein the inner fabric layer comprises a cotton material.
11 . A fire retardant pillow for protecting against and controlling fires resulting from a malfunctioning electronic device, the pillow comprising:
a pillow body having a layered construction; and
a pocket extending into a central region of the pillow body,
wherein:
the layered construction comprises:
an outer fabric covering defining an exterior layer of the pillow body;
an inner fabric layer lining the pocket and fastened to the outer fabric covering, thus forming a compartment therebetween; and
a fire retardant layer positioned within the compartment between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric covering; and
the fire retardant layer comprises a plurality of breakable members, the plurality of breakable members each containing a volume of a fire retardant material.
