Description

Kissen pillow
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kissen nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a pillow according to the preamble of claim 1.
Beispielsweise für den physiotherapeutischen Bereich existieren schlauch- und u-formige Kissen, die mit nachgiebigem Fullmateπal wie beispielsweise Sryroporkugeln, Hirse oder ähnlichem Material gefüllt sinα. Diese Kissen werden für Therapien, Krankengymnastik, für Krankenpflege, Altenpflege, aber auch im privaten Bereich eingesetzt. Diese Kissen sind m verschieαenen Grossen erhaltlicn. Sie sind relativ locker mit oben erwähntem Material gefüllt. Vielfach werden die Kissen auch wahrend der Schwangerschaft als Liege bzw. Lagerungskissen verwendet. Speziell für den Stillbereich sind kleinere u- formige, fest gefüllte Kissen erhältlich. Ein solches Kissen wirα von der aufrecht sitzenden Mutter um den Bauch gelegt und das Kind darauf gebettet. Dies ermöglicht ein entspanntes Stillen.For example, for the physiotherapeutic area there are tubular and u-shaped pillows which are filled with resilient full material such as sryropor balls, millet or similar material. These pillows are used for therapies, physiotherapy, nursing, elderly care, but also in the private sector. These pillows are available in various sizes. They are relatively loosely filled with the material mentioned above. In many cases, the pillows are also used as beds or storage cushions during pregnancy. Smaller, U-shaped, firmly filled pillows are available especially for breastfeeding. Such a pillow is placed around the stomach by the mother sitting upright and the child is placed on it. This enables relaxed breastfeeding.
Die Aufgaoe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand darin, ein Kissen zu finden, welches in Form und Festigkeit variabel auf die Bed rfnisse des Benutzers einstellbar ausgestaltet sein soll.The object of the present invention was to find a pillow which, in terms of shape and strength, should be designed to be adjustable to the needs of the user.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfmdungsgemass durch ein Kissen mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelost. Bevorzugte Ausfuhrungsformen ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der abhangigen Ansprüche 2 bis 8.This object is achieved according to the invention by a pillow with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments result from the features of the dependent claims 2 to 8.
Das erfmαungsgemass vorgeschlagene Kissen kombiniert vorteilhafterweise beispielsweise das Lagerungs- /Liegekissen mit dem Stillkissen. Wahrend der Schwangerschaft kann das schlauch- und u-formige Kissen in voller Lange und somit mit lockerer Füllung als Lagerungsbzw. Liegekissen verwendet werden. Für das Stillen kann das Kissen dank der Erfindung variabel verkleinert und damit die Füllung gefestigt werden. Das Kissen befriedigt zwei Bedurfnisse mit einem Produkt.The pillow proposed according to the invention advantageously combines, for example, the positioning / Lying pillow with the nursing pillow. During pregnancy, the tubular and u-shaped pillow can be full length and therefore with a loose filling as a storage or Lounger cushions can be used. Thanks to the invention, the pillow can be variably reduced in size for breastfeeding, thereby strengthening the filling. The pillow satisfies two needs with one product.
Ebenfalls kann das Kissen für den physiotherapeutischen- und der Krankenpflegebereicn verwendet werden. Auen hier bietec aas variable Verstellen von Grosse und Festigkeit die optimale Möglichkeit, den Bedurfnissen des Patienten bzw. αer Therapie gerecht zu werden.The pillow can also be used for physiotherapy and nursing care. Outside here, variable adjustment of size and firmness offers the optimal opportunity to meet the needs of the patient or therapy.
Die vorteilhaften Eigenschaften lassen das erfmdungsgemasse Kissen auch als besonders geeignet für den normalen Wohnbereich erscheinen, indem durch die Variabixitat eine Komfortsteigerung im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Kissen geschaffen wird.The advantageous properties of the pillow according to the invention also appear to be particularly suitable for normal living areas, since the variability creates an increase in comfort compared to conventional pillows.
Ein Ausfunrungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von Zeichnungen noen naher erläutere. Es zeigenAn exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to drawings. Show it
Fig. 1 die Ansicht eines erfindungsgemassen Kissens;1 shows the view of a pillow according to the invention;
Fig. 2 das Kissen von Fig. 1 verkleinert/gefestigt;Fig. 2 reduced / strengthened the pillow of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 die Ansicht des Kissens von Fig. 1 ; undFig. 3 is the view of the pillow of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 die Ansicht des Kissens von Fig. 1 in einer alternativen Ausfuhrung; Der Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass sich die Grosse und die Füllung des Kissens variabel verkleinern bzw. festigen lassen, wie aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Figuren hervorgeht.4 shows the view of the pillow from FIG. 1 in an alternative embodiment; The advantage of the present invention is that the size and the filling of the cushion can be variably reduced or strengthened, as can be seen from the following description of the figures.
In Figur 1 ist die Ansicht eines erfmdungsgemassen KissensIn Figure 1 is the view of a pillow according to the invention
1 dargestellt, welches beispielsweise die Form eines u- formig gebogenen Schlauches mit angenähert rundem Querschnitt aufweist. Der Kissenbezug 2 weist dabei an seinem einen Ende eine Fullnaht resp. -offnung 3 auf, durch welche das Kissen resp. der Kissenkorper in den Kissenbezug1, which has, for example, the shape of a U-shaped tube with an approximately round cross section. The pillowcase 2 has a full seam at one end. -Open 3 through which the pillow resp. the pillow body in the pillowcase
2 eingefunrt werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist nun an diesem Kissenenαe eine Lasche 4 als Befestigungsvorrichtung angebracht, welche beispielsweise aus demselben Material wie der Kissenbezug 2 gefertigt ist. An der Innenseite des Kissenbezuges 2 ist nun weiter ein Flausen- oder Klettband 5 als Verankerungselement angebracht.2 can be coiled. Preferably, a tab 4 is now attached to this pillow case as a fastening device, which is made, for example, from the same material as the pillow case 2. On the inside of the pillow case 2, a fleece or Velcro tape 5 is now attached as an anchoring element.
Wenn nun die Lasche 4 ebenfalls ein Klettbandbereich aufweist, kann durch Einstülpen des Kissenendes mit der Lasche 4 αurch die Fullnaht 3 die Lange des Kissens 1 verkürzt werden, wie dies aus Figur 2 hervorgeht. Dabei kann nun vorteilhafterweise die Lasche 4 einfach mit dem Klettband 5 in Verbindung gebracht werden, wodurch diese verkleinerte Form fixiert wird. Durch die Verkleinerung des Kissens 1 ist seine Festigkeit erhöht worden, in dem das Fullmaterial im Vergleich zur Ausgangsform hoher verdichtet wird. Vorteilhafterweise liegen dabei sowohl das Klettband 5 wie auch die Lasche 4 verdeckt im Innern des Kissenbezuges 2, womit weder die Optik des Kissens noch der Komfort beeinträchtigt wird. Entsprechend der Anordnung des Klettbandes 5 kann entweder praktisch eine stufenlose Einstellung der Kissengrosse über einen bestimmten Bereich erfolgen, oder durch Positionierung von mehreren Klettbandern 5 kann eine diskrete Verkleinerung resp. Vergrösserung des Kissens 1 vorgenommen werden.If the flap 4 now also has a Velcro strip area, the length of the pillow 1 can be shortened by the full seam 3 by inserting the pillow end with the flap 4, as can be seen from FIG. Advantageously, the tab 4 can now be easily connected to the Velcro 5, whereby this reduced shape is fixed. By reducing the size of the cushion 1, its strength has been increased by compressing the full material to a higher degree than the original shape. Advantageously, both the hook-and-loop tape 5 and the flap 4 are concealed in the interior of the pillow case 2, so that neither the look of the pillow nor the comfort is impaired. According to the arrangement of the Velcro tape 5, either a practically continuous adjustment of the cushion size over a certain area can take place, or by positioning several Velcro tapes 5, a discrete reduction or. Enlargement of the pillow 1 can be made.
Die Lasche 4 kann nun wie bereits vorgangig beschrieben an der Aussenseite des Kissenbezuges 2 befestigt sein, wie nocnmals in Figur 3 dargestellt, oder aber am entsprecnenden Ende des Kissenkorpers 6, welcher vom Kissenbezug 2 umschlossen wird, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt. Im letzteren Fall kann die Lasche 4 durch eine am entsprechenden Ende des Kissenbezuges 2 befindliche Nut resp. Öffnung 7 für den Gebrauch hindurchgezogen werden resp. bei Nichtgebrauch wieder im Innern des Kissenanzuges 2 verstaut werden.As already described above, the tab 4 can now be fastened to the outside of the pillow case 2, as shown in FIG. 3, or to the corresponding end of the pillow body 6, which is enclosed by the pillow case 2, as shown in FIG. 4. In the latter case, the tab 4 by a groove located at the corresponding end of the pillowcase 2. Opening 7 are pulled through for use. can be stowed inside the pillow case 2 when not in use.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit bietet sich an, indem ein Teil des Kissenanzuges 2 vorzugsweise von der Fulloffnung 3 an doppelt ausgeführt ist, d.h. überlappend, so dass sich eine Tasche bildet. Das Klettband 5 wird nun im Bereich dieser Tasche angeordnet. Die Lasche 4 kann nun oeispielsweise durch die Füllöffnung 3 nach Innen m die Tasche gefuhrt und am Klettband 5 befestigt werden.A further possibility offers itself in that a part of the pillow case 2 is preferably made twice from the full opening 3, i.e. overlapping so that a pocket forms. The Velcro 5 is now arranged in the area of this pocket. The flap 4 can now, for example, be passed through the filling opening 3 to the inside of the pocket and fastened to the Velcro strip 5.
Das Klettband 5 kann selbstverständlich auch Aussen auf dem Kissenanzug 2 aufgebracht sein. Nachteilig dieser Lösung ist, dass im nicht verkleinerten Zustand das Klettband 5 sichtbar ist und im verkleinerten Zustanα ein Teil desThe Velcro 5 can of course also be applied to the outside of the pillow case 2. The disadvantage of this solution is that the Velcro 5 is visible in the non-reduced state and a part of the in the reduced state
Kissenbezuges 2 sichtbar umgelegt, also nicht verdeckt ist. Wenn allerdings der optische Aspekt im Hintergrund steht und nur Wert auf die Funktionalität gelegt wird, stellt dies die einfachste Lösung dar.Pillowcase 2 visibly folded over, i.e. not covered. However, if the visual aspect is in the background and only functionality is important, this is the simplest solution.
Statt den beschriebenen Lösungen mit Klettenverschluss können vorzugsweise auch alternative Ausführungen wie Druckknöpfen oder normale Knöpfe mit Lasche oder Hacken und Ösen/Laschen als Verbindungsmittel eingesetzt werden. Damit werden jedoch nur noch diskrete, nicht stufenlose Verstellmöglichkeiten realisiert.Instead of the described solutions with a Velcro fastener, alternative designs such as push buttons or normal buttons with a tab or hooks and eyelets / tabs can preferably be used as connecting means. However, this means that only discrete, not infinitely variable adjustment options are realized.
Das vorzugsweise aus Kunststoffkugeln oder Getreidekörner bestehende Füllmaterial des Kissens kann entweder direkt in den Kissenbezug eingebracht sein oder in einem Kissenkörper 6 befindlich sein. The filling material of the pillow, which preferably consists of plastic balls or cereal grains, can either be introduced directly into the pillow cover or be located in a pillow body 6.
