Contour pillow with interior baffle walls
View Patent ↗The pillow includes a pillow body with an upper curved member which includes a first convex curved portion which extends along the length of the upper surface of the pillow near the back edge of the pillow and a second convex curved portion which parallels the first curved portion and extends along the upper surface of the pillow near the front edge of the pillow. A concave curved portion extends between and joins the first and second convex curved portions. The height of the first convex curved portion is greater than the height of the second convex curved portion. A plurality of interior baffle walls extend lengthwise of the pillow, spaced and located so as to maintain the contour of the pillow when the pillow is filled with natural and/or synthetic filling.
1. A pillow, comprising:
a pillow body having an upper curved portion and a bottom portion, the upper portion including a first convex curved portion extending along an upper surface of the pillow near a rear edge thereof, a second convex curved portion extending along the upper surface of the pillow near a front edge thereof, and a concave curved portion joining the first and second curved portions, wherein the first convex curved portion has a height which is greater than the height of the second convex curved portion;
a plurality of space-part interior baffle members extending between the curved upper portion and the bottom portion of the pillow body in a direction approximately parallel to the curved portions and the front and rear edges of the pillow, defining chambers within the pillow, wherein one baffle member is located approximately at a low point of the concave curved portion, wherein another baffle member is located approximately midway between a high point of the first convex curved portion and the low point of the concave curved portion, and wherein a third baffle member is located close to a high point of the second convex curved portion, wherein the distance from the rear edge of the pillow to said another baffle member is greater than the distance between said another baffle member and said one baffle member and greater than the distance between said one baffle member and said third baffle member, and wherein the distance from said third baffle member to the front edge of the pillow is less than the distance between the rear edge of the pillow and said another baffle member; and
filling in the pillow body, in the chambers defined by the baffle members.
2. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the curved portions and the baffle members extend lengthwise of the pillow and wherein the baffle members are approximately parallel to each other.
3. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion is approximately flat.
4. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the pillow is filled with either (1) natural feathers or down filling or (2) natural feathers and down filling.
5. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the pillow is filled with synthetic filling or PLA material.
6. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the pillow is filled with either (1) a combination of natural feathers and down filling and synthetic filling, including PLA material or (2) a combination of natural feathers or down filling and synthetic filling, including PLA material.
7. The pillow of claim 1 , wherein the pillow body includes two end opposing portions which are substantially flat.
8. The pillow of claim 1 , including a cover member enclosing the pillow and filling located between the upper curved portion of the pillow and the cover member.
