Description
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Field of the Disclosure
[0001] The disclosure relates to pillow devices and more
particularly pertains to a new pillow device for providing the
comfort and warmth of a down pillow while preventing uneven
distribution and flat areas in the device during use.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented
above by generally comprising a cover having an upper panel and a
lower panel. The upper panel is coupled to the lower panel defining
an interior space. A stuffing mixture is enclosed in the interior
space. The stuffing mixture comprises down feathers and a plurality
of foam pieces.
[0003] There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more
important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed
description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in
order that the present contribution to the art may be better
appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that
will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject
matter of the claims appended hereto.
[0004] The objects of the disclosure, along with the various
features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed
out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part
of this disclosure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] The disclosure will be better understood and objects other
than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration
is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such
description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
[0006] FIG. 1 is a partial cut-away top view of a pillow device
according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
[0007] FIG. 2 is a top front side perspective view of an embodiment
of the disclosure.
[0008] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the
disclosure taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0009] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 3 thereof, a new pillow device embodying the
principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and
generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be
described.
[0010] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, the pillow device
10 generally comprises a cover 12 having an upper panel 14 and a
lower panel 16. The upper panel 14 is coupled to the lower panel 16
defining an interior space 18. The cover 12 is constructed of a
cotton fabric material or the like. The cover 12 has an inwardly
turned hem 20 extending around a perimeter edge 22 of the cover 12
between the upper panel 14 and the lower panel 16. A stuffing
mixture 24 is enclosed in the interior space 18. The stuffing
mixture 24 comprises a combination of down feathers 26 and a
plurality of foam pieces 28. Each of the foam pieces 28 is
irregularly shaped and is resiliently compressible promoting
formation of spaces between and distribution of the down feathers
26 between the foam pieces 28. The stuffing mixture 24 may comprise
substantially equal parts of the down feathers 26 and the foam
pieces 28 by volume or substantially equal parts of the down
feathers 26 and the foam pieces 28 by weight.
[0011] In use, the down feathers 26 and the foam pieces 28 are
combined and positioned in the interior space 18 of the cover 12.
The device 10 is then used in the same manner as a conventional
pillow with the foam pieces 28 within the stuffing mixture 24
providing enhanced support and inhibiting excessive deformation of
the device 10 while supporting a user's head.
[0012] With respect to the above description then, it is to be
realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts
of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations
in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one
skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those
illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are
intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
[0013] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only
of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous
modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in
the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact
construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly,
all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to,
falling within the scope of the disclosure.
