Until now, no one has invented a head and neck pillow, which is out on the market today, like the present invention.
In accordance with certain embodiments, the sleepy head and neck pillow of the present invention has four or more different uses. It allows the wearer to sleep while sitting up during transportation (airplane, train, bus, car, etc.). It gives support to people who have neck injuries, during transportation (airplane, train, bus, car, etc.). While not using the clip/strap system, it can be used as a comfortable resting pillow. One of other uses is the lower back use, which is a use to give support to the lower back, hips, butt and spine.
The sleepy head and neck pillow of the invention will be useful to insurance companies because it will provide their customers with extra safety which will reduce the risk of neck injuries, therefore saving money for the insurance companies, and their customers. Whiplash victims can also use the sleepy head and neck pillow of the invention to ease their pain because it will give their neck support and comfort. Airline companies can also build sleepy head and neck pillow of the invention into the airplane seats so that the passengers will be able to sleep sitting up during flight with great comfort. The airline companies can also rent sleepy head and neck pillow of the invention on their flights for their passengers.
The second use of the sleepy heads neck pillow of the present invention is a side use. For the side use, the design of the bone structure support and the pillow itself can support both sides of the wearer's head “Left or Right” but not at the same time; it has to be one side or the other because with the side use there is only one side and a back of the pillow. It is designed to fit and contour the head, neck and face shape perfectly. With this side use “Side Sleepy Head” for a neck pillow; the wearer will have a cozy feeling like sleeping in their bed. A lot of people sleep on their side in their bed. Besides the fact that this is a much more natural way to sleep, this new Side Use of “Side Sleepy Head” will keep the head and neck in a prefect position, while sleeping sitting up with great stability and comfort, so that the users won't wake-up each time their head nods forward. There are 3 distinct parts of the Side Use, using the front, the back, and the side. Each part of the pillow can be used to support many different parts. It can support the head, neck, shoulders, face or body. When used as the side use, the back of the pillow (i.e., the neck bone support and the upper back bone support) can be used as the side of the pillow. When used as the side use, the side of the pillow (i.e., the arm bone support) can be used as the front and back of the pillow.
FIG. 20 shows a side use of the sleepy heads neck pillow in accordance with certain embodiments. The pillow is positioned on the wearer such that one of the arm bones 8 supports the wearer's chin as shown. In accordance with certain embodiments, this can be accomplished by positioning the gap defined by the arm bones 8 at the side of a wearer's neck (e.g., about 90° from the wearer's face), and guiding the sleepy heads neck pillow towards the wearer's neck until the neck contacts the back of the pillow (the neck bone support) as shown in FIG. 20. The pillow can then be optionally rotated so that the neck bone support is positioned at the back of the wearer's neck, or the pillow can remain in the unrotated position (the side use position) of FIG. 20. In this regard, at least one of the arm bones 8 can have an arc-shaped contour region at 8a that allows the wearer's chin and/or cheek to rest comfortably on the arm bone 8. FIG. 21 shows another embodiment of the side use, where the pillow is upside-down relative to the position shown in FIG. 20. In this embodiment, most or all of the wearer's neck is positioned in the gap between the two arm bones, and the arc-shaped region is not used to support the chin or cheek of the wearer.
The back of the pillow “originally called the arm bone support” gives a great support and comfort to the neck and head of the user when used as the side use. It contours the cheek and chin of the wearer perfectly for an optimal support and comfort. This way the head of the wearer will not nod forward causing risk of neck injuries.
The side of the pillow originally the back of the pillow which was the neck bone support and the upper back bone support gives an optimal comfort and stability for the side of the head, side of the neck and shoulder of the wearer.
For the shape and design of the pillow, the side part extends to the ear of the wearer, so that it allows a cozy feeling of like being in a bed.
When used as the side use, the pillow can be used on either side of the wearer's shoulders. The pillow is designed to support both sides of the head “left or Right” of the wearer, and designed to perfectly contour the side of the head, neck and face of the wearer. By the side use, the neck can be maintained in a correct position and the head can be kept in the correct position.
As shown in FIGS. 22-25, another use of the sleepy heads neck pillow of the present invention is a face down use. For the face down use, the pillow can be used, for instance when the user is in the spa massage position. With the face down use, the wearer does not wear the sleepy heads neck pillow on their neck but lays their face down on the pillow. In accordance with certain embodiments, in this use the pillow will be supported on a substrate, such as the floor, a bed or a couch. With this face down use, both sides of the pillow can be used, the top (FIGS. 22 and 23) or the bottom (FIGS. 24 and 25). The user's face is positioned within the gap between the two arm bones 8. The user's face and/or head is thus comfortably surrounded and supported by the arm bones and neck bone as shown. Lying down on the pillow will allow the wearer the great feeling to be like on a spa massage table.
The sleepy heads neck pillow will give to the wearer a great stability and comfort to the head, face and forehead. Due to the inner bone structure the pillow won't be squashed flat.
Because of the specific design of sleepy heads neck pillow and the bone structure support, the wearer's face will always be lifted up, and the wearer will be able to breathe comfortably while sleeping during the spa massage position.
FIGS. 29 and 30 show a further use of the pillow in accordance with certain embodiments. The pillow 10 can be placed with the neck bone 5 (and/or back bone if present) resting on the seat 90 of a chair or stool 100 or the like, and the arm bones extending upwardly from the seat 90 and resting on the seat back 91. The user then sits on the seat 90 and leans back against the pillow 10 as shown in FIG. 30. The pillow 10 is thus positioned between the user's back and the seat back 91, and the arm bones 8 extend upwardly along the sides of the wearer's back, with the gap between the arm bones positioned at or near the middle of the user's back. In this position the pillow provides support for the user's back, especially the lower back, and for the user's spine, hips, and/or butt.
The sleepy head and neck pillow of the invention may be made in six different sizes. X-Small (infant), Small (Child), Medium (Adult), Large (Adult), X-Large and Jumbo which is used for the lower back use. The pillow structure and shape may be exactly the same, only the size may be different.
