Embodiment Construction

[0067]A variety of travel pillows have been described. One such example is described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,434,283 assigned to Danami LLC disclosing a travel pillow for use on vehicle seats, for example on airplanes especially during long trips. The travel pillow provides support to the head in the anterior direction while restricting any twisting movement of the head in the forward direction and / or the lateral direction. Though the pillow described therein provides support to the head and neck of the person, it is too bulky around the back of the neck in a way that particularly compromises its usefulness in the inclined or upright position as it forces the head and neck forward, and moreover does not rest on the shoulders when used in the inclined or upright position, preventing it from adequately stabilizing the head and neck, as is requisite for resting or sleeping in those positions.

Abstract

The support pillow assembly includes a portable support pillow designed to provide optimal head and adjacent neck support for the user in upright and/or reclined seated and supine positions. The pillow is optionally configured with a hole to securely support the occiput. The pillow may be configured in a taller or shorter profile. The pillow is tapered in a manner that maintains the user's neck and head in proper alignment. The support pillow assembly is constructed of single piece foam which is firm enough and contoured to prevent head turning and neck torsion. The support pillow is optionally configured with exterior support panels to provide additional utility, compressibility, stability, and comfort. The support pillow assembly optionally includes an adjustable strap that may be used to provide supplemental support to the head. It may be collapsed into a portable pillow comprising protective exterior supports, a cloth or similarly soft bag, or a protective case.
