Abstract

A multi-function pillow comprises: a first and second layer forming an elongate envelope; an inflatable tube detachably attached to and along a first lining of the elongate envelope, where an air cap to the tube is formed through the elongate envelope; a tube retainer formed in the elongate envelope to retain the tube within the envelope; a blanket detachably attached to and along a second lining of the envelope, where the blanket is either stored and zipped in the envelope or taken out for use by unzipping the envelope; and a twine to flex the pillow into a neck cushion, wherein the twine is formed to run in and along the elongate envelope with each end of the twine extending from each end portion of the elongate envelope adjacent to the tip lines.

Claims (31)

1. A multi-function pillow, comprising:

a first and second layer forming an elongate envelope having a side opening being zippable to closure of the envelope, wherein the elongate envelope has a periphery defined by a zip line substantially straight, a seam line substantially parallel to the zip line, and tip lines linking the zip line to the seam line, wherein the zip line is at least four times in length a spread between the zip and seam lines;

an inflatable tube detachably attached to and along a first lining of the elongate envelope, wherein an air cap to the tube is formed through the elongate envelope;

a tube retainer formed in the elongate envelope to retain the tube within the envelope;

a blanket detachably attached to and along a second lining of the envelope, wherein the blanket is either stored and zipped in the envelope or taken out for use by unzipping the envelope; and

a twine to flex the pillow into a neck cushion, wherein the twine is formed to run in and along the elongate envelope with each end of the twine extending from each end portion of the elongate envelope adjacent to the tip lines.

2. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , further comprising a first zipper formed along the zip line to open the envelope.

3. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the tube retainer comprises a second zipper formed lengthwise to take out the tube therethrough when needed.

4. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the blanket is detachably attached to the second lining of the envelope by either snap buttons or hook-and-loop fasteners.

5. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the air cap is formed of a push-inflatable button.

6. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the pillow is formed about 50 centimeters in length, wherein the blanket is formed in a dimension of a width of about 1.5 meters and a height of about 1.0 meter.

7. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the twine is formed between the tube retainer and the first layer.

8. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , wherein the twine is formed between the tube retainer and the second layer.

9. The multi-function pillow of claim 1 , further comprising a hidden pocket formed in the first layer adjacent to one of the tip lines, wherein the pocket is zip-closable.

10. A multi-function pillow, comprising:

a first and second layer forming an elongate envelope having a side opening being zippable to closure of the envelope, wherein the elongate envelope has a periphery defined by a zip line substantially straight, a seam line substantially parallel to the zip line, and tip lines linking the zip line to the seam line, wherein the zip line is at least four times in length a spread between the zip and seam lines;

an inflatable tube detachably attached to and along a first lining of the elongate envelope, wherein an air cap to the tube is formed through the elongate envelope;

a tube retainer formed in the elongate envelope to retain the tube within the envelope;

a blanket detachably attached to and along a second lining of the envelope, wherein the blanket is either stored and zipped in the envelope or taken out for use by unzipping the envelope;

a twine to flex the pillow into a neck cushion, wherein the twine is formed to run in and along the elongate envelope with each end of the twine extending from each end portion of the elongate envelope adjacent to the tip lines; and

a pair of twine stops worn on the twine to adjustably keep said each end of the twine outside an outer surface of the pillow.

11. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the twine stops are formed of a plastic material and separable from the twine.

12. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , further comprising a first zipper formed along the zip line to open the envelope.

13. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the tube retainer comprises a second zipper formed lengthwise to take out the tube therethrough when needed.

14. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the blanket is detachably attached to the second lining of the envelope by either snap buttons or hook-and-loop fasteners.

15. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the air cap is formed of a push-inflatable button.

16. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the pillow is formed about 50 centimeters in length, wherein the blanket is formed in a dimension of a width of about 1.5 meters and a height of about 1.0 meter.

17. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the twine is formed between the tube retainer and the first layer.

18. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the twine is formed between the tube retainer and the second layer.

19. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , further comprising a hidden pocket formed in the first layer adjacent to one of the tip lines, wherein the pocket is zip-closable.

20. The multi-function pillow of claim 10 , wherein the second lining of the envelope is the tube retainer.
