Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 Pillow 10 is shown generally in . Pillow 10 is designed to support the user's head and neck while at rest, while being capable of being configured into an infinite number of configurations from a generally flat configuration with a horizontal plane traversing the length of the pillow from left 12 to right 14 to configure pillow 10 as Two parts, so that the left side 12 and the right side 14 of the pillow 10 are substantially one above the other.

[0020] Pillow 10 can come in many sizes, including a typical standard pillow (20 inches by 26 inches), a typical queen size pillow (20 inches by 30 inches), or a typical king size pillow (20 inches by 36 inches). When covered by a pillowcase, pillow 10 can have the appearance of a standard flat pillow. However, pillow 10 can also have a smaller configuration that can be used for travel.

[0021] refer to Figure 1-3 , pillow 10 includes an upper surface 16 and a lower surface 18 that a person uses to support his / h...

Abstract

A pillow (10) includes an upper surface (16), a lower surface (18) and side edges (12, 14) wherein the upper surface (16) includes a raised edge (20, 21) proximate the upper and lower edges of the upper surface (16). The upper surface (16) includes at least one cut out (24) through either the raised edge (20 or 21) proximate the upper or lower edge that is configured to support the user's neck in an anatomically correct position. A recessed surface (22) in the upper surface (16) for supporting the back surface of the user's neck and cranium and the sides of the user's head extends from proximate a left edge (12) to proximate a right edge (14) and is in communication with the at least one cut out (24). The pillow (10) is of a sufficient height to extend from the user's neck to above the user's ears and face.; The pillow (10) includes at least one internal armature (40, 42) that is flexible and bendable such that the pillow (10) can be manipulated into a selected configuration with manual force. The armature (40, 42) is sufficiently strong while being malleable such that the pillow (10) can be configured from a substantially flat configuration and into a substantially "U" shape where left and right edges (12, 14) are in front of the user's face. In the "U" shaped configuration, the user can roll from side to side while the pillow (10) remains in direct contact and rolls uniformly with the user's head maintaining support for both the neck and head and thereby provide a more comfortable rest or sleep.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pillow. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pillow configured to structurally and comfortably support the face, chin, neck and head while being operable with manual power into a variety of configurations and maintaining a user-selected configuration. Background technique [0002] There are a variety of adjustable and fixed U-shaped pillows that are positioned around a person's neck and do not extend upward to also contact, surround and / or support the bottom, front, back and sides of the user's head. A pillow that only surrounds the neck and does not extend around the head leaves the head unsupported and susceptible to tilting and / or rocking forward, backward and to either side of the craniocervical / cervical axis. When an individual is positioned in an upwardly angled reclining position or a generally vertical sitting position, such as sitting, resting or sleeping in an airplane seat, propped up on a...
