Abstract
Description
[0001] Conventional silk pillowcases have a shape that generally limits the variability of pillow sizes and is barely distinguishable from other pillowcases, such as those found in hotels. Furthermore, their use typically consists solely of a tactile sensory experience.
[0002] Using such a pillowcase merely offers the well-known benefits of silk for skin and hair. On the one hand, this prevents the person using the silk pillowcase from experiencing the effects of olfactory stimulation on the nervous or parasympathetic nervous systems. On the other hand, such a pillowcase, taken on a trip, may not be suitable for hotel pillows due to its size, or may not be clearly distinguishable from other pillowcases, such as those in the hotel where the pillowcase is being used. This can easily lead to confusion or even loss of the silk pillowcase.
[0003] The invention defined in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a silk pillowcase that has both the benefits of silk fiber for skin and hair, as well as the olfactory effect on the nervous system and includes personalization, as well as being able to promote harmony, well-being and emotional security through design according to Feng Shui principles.
[0004] This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.
[0005] The invention achieves that silk pillowcases can be taken along on trips, which fit many pillow sizes and are easily distinguishable from others or from other such individualized pillowcases due to their personalization, and, due to an exchangeable fragrance fleece for use with essential oils, a very relaxing, calming olfactory effect can be generated within seconds and in a natural way, without energy input and with a diminishing effect when waking up in the morning, for example after a long business or private trip.
[0006] The invention relates to a personalized silk pillowcase, particularly for use in hotels and while traveling. It is adjustable to fit different pillow sizes and contains an integrated pillowcase fragrance fleece for the application of essential oils. The pillowcase combines the well-known benefits of silk for skin and hair with an olfactory effect, which is released within seconds of application by the fragrance fleece. Furthermore, the pillowcase is designed according to harmonious Feng Shui principles to promote optimal energy distribution in the sleeping area.
[0007] Silk pillowcases are known for their skin- and hair-friendly properties, as silk retains moisture and can prevent hair breakage. Fragrance products are also available on the market that create a soothing and calming atmosphere. However, no pillowcases currently exist that combine both properties in one product, especially when combined with a replaceable fleece for absorbing essential oils, which allows for an immediate olfactory effect. Furthermore, the principle of Feng Shui has not been considered in the design of pillowcases.
[0008] The present invention relates to an adjustable silk pillowcase that fits various pillow sizes and features an integrated, yet replaceable pillowcase fragrance pad. This pad is designed to absorb essential oils and allows for an olfactory effect within seconds of application. The pillowcase is made of high-quality silk, is generously sized, and is designed according to Feng Shui principles to promote harmony and positive energy in the sleeping area. Its special features include: 1. Adjustable size: The silk pillowcase is designed to fit a variety of pillow sizes (e.g., standard pillows, travel pillows, and hotel pillows), yet is large enough to extend beyond the pillow. This overhanging portion of the cover has a positive effect on a larger area of skin and hair, transferring the beneficial properties of silk to adjacent skin and hair. The size is flexible and can be adjusted to fit the specific pillow using seams, drawstrings, or elastic closures. 2. Feng Shui principles: The pillowcase is designed with harmonious dimensions that conform to Feng Shui principles. These dimensions were carefully selected to optimize balance and the flow of energy (Qi) in the sleeping area. Taking Feng Shui into account ensures that the pillowcase not only provides physical comfort but also contributes to mental and emotional relaxation by creating a harmonious environment. 3. Integrated pillow fragrance pad: A separate compartment is provided inside or on the pillowcase for the replaceable pad. This pad is made of absorbent material specifically designed to absorb essential oils. The pad is positioned to evenly distribute the fragrance of the oils without compromising the quality of the pillow or cover. 4. Rapid fragrance release: The special placement of the fleece and the use of breathable materials ensure that the fragrances of essential oils are released within seconds of application. This allows for an immediate aromatic effect that can be relaxing or refreshing, depending on the oil selected. 5. Silk material: The pillowcase is made entirely of high-quality, hypoallergenic silk, known for its skin-friendly and temperature-regulating properties, or another material with beneficial properties for skin and hair. The use of silk prevents skin irritation and contributes to improved hair care by reducing breakage. 6. Easy-care construction: The pillowcase is easy to clean and the perfume fleece is easy to replace, so that the pillowcase remains hygienic and new fragrance components can be integrated as needed. Advantages of the invention:
[0009] Individual adaptability: Thanks to the flexible sizing and generously sized cover, this pillowcase can be used on a variety of pillow sizes, making it ideal for use in hotels, while traveling, or at home. The overhanging part of the pillowcase allows the silk to extend its effect over larger areas of skin and hair, further enhancing comfort and care.
[0010] Harmonious dimensions according to Feng Shui: Taking Feng Shui principles into account when designing the dimensions ensures that the pillowcase is not only functional but also positively influences the harmony and energy flow in the sleeping area. This promotes a feeling of calm and well-being.
[0011] Combination of comfort and fragrance: The innovative combination of silk cover and scented fleece not only enables skin- and hair-friendly sleep, but also creates a pleasant fragrance environment.
[0012] Easy to use: The perfume fleece can be easily filled with essential oils and replaced as needed without having to change the cover.
[0013] Versatile uses: The pillowcase can be personalized with various essential oils to achieve different olfactory effects, such as relaxation, calming or refreshing.
[0014] The pillowcase combines the skin-friendly properties of silk with an integrated fragrance pad that enables the automated release of essential oils. Controlled via a mobile app, it allows users to set individual fragrance profiles and schedules.
[0015] Additionally, the pillowcase can optionally be equipped with an LED color profile that creates a color-therapeutic effect. The LED lights offer various colors, which can also be controlled via the app, for relaxing or stimulating effects. Users can individually adjust the scents and colors to soothing, such as blue or violet, in the evening and stimulating, such as yellow or green, in the morning.
[0016] This combination of aromatherapy and optional color therapy can enhance users' sleeping comfort and overall well-being.
