Pillow design to aid proper sleeping position which avoids facial wrinkle development

Abstract

A sleeping or resting device designed to prevent improper sleeping and/or resting that leads to the damage of facial tissues, wrinkles and premature aging. The pillow's design adjusts the sleeper's body position to prevent the face from supporting the weight of the sleeper's head by supporting the user's head primarily behind the temple. The novel design prevents wrinkling of the face that occurs during the sleeping process caused by a traditional pillow. The novel design can be generally described as an elongated foam box, having an upper concavity, an integrated coaxial cylindrical member at the leading edge, with laterally tapering triangular ends of various design.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A pillow comprising: 
 a substantially rectangular main section having a main upper surface, a main lower surface, a vertical main front surface, a vertical main rear surface,    at least one laterally situated substantially tetrahedral end section, having a lower surface coplanar with the main lower surface, being situated at an end of the main section.    
     
     
         2 . The pillow according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 the main section has at least one integral cervical support member being colinear with the main section, having a radius of curvature that is centered within the main section,    the cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main front surface and the main upper surface, the additional cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main rear surface and the main upper surface, and a    concavity located on the main upper surface.    
     
     
         3 . The pillow according to  claim 2 , wherein 
 the tetrahedral end sections each have a front vertical surface, a rear vertical surface and an upper facing surface, wherein each surface may be faced with a concavity of varying radii of curvature.    
     
     
         4 . The pillow according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the pillow is constructed of a compressible and resilient material.    
     
     
         5 . The pillow according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the intersecting surfaces of the main and tetrahederal sections incorporate a radius of curvature that avoids the creation of a sharp edge between neighboring surfaces.    
     
     
         6 . A pillow comprising: 
 a substantially rectangular main section having a main upper surface, a main lower surface, a vertical main front surface, a vertical main rear surface,    at least one laterally situated substantially tetrahedral end section, having a lower surface coplanar with the main lower surface, being situated at an end of the main section,    the main section exhibiting a slight radius of curvature along its entire length.    
     
     
         7 . The pillow according to  claim 6 , wherein 
 the main section has at least one integral cervical support member being colinear with the main section, having a radius of curvature that is centered within the main section,    the cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main front surface and the main upper surface, the additional cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main rear surface and the main upper surface, and a    concavity located on the main upper surface.    
     
     
         8 . The pillow according to  claim 7 , wherein 
 the tetrahedral end sections each have a front vertical surface, a rear vertical surface and an upper facing surface, wherein each surface may be faced with a concavity of varying radii of curvature.    
     
     
         9 . The pillow according to  claim 8 , wherein 
 the pillow is constructed of a compressible and resilient material.    
     
     
         10 . The pillow according to  claim 8 , wherein 
 the intersecting surfaces of the main and tetrahedral sections incorporate a radius of curvature that avoids the creation of a sharp edge between neighboring surfaces.    
     
     
         11 . A pillow comprising: 
 a substantially rectangular main section having a main upper surface, a main lower surface, a vertical main front surface, a vertical main rear surface,    at least one laterally situated substantially tetrahedral end section, having a lower surface coplanar with the main lower surface, being situated at an end of the main section.    
     
     
         12 . The pillow according to  claim 11 , wherein 
 the main section having at least one integral cervical support member being colinear with the main section, having a radius of curvature that is centered within the main section,    the cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main front surface and the main upper surface, the additional cervical support member being located proximal to the intersection of the main rear surface and the main upper surface, and a    concavity located on the main upper surface.    
     
     
         13 . The pillow according to  claim 12 , wherein 
 the tetrahedral end sections each have a front vertical surface, a rear vertical surface and an upper facing surface, wherein the front vertical surfaces and rear vertical surfaces may be faced with a convexity of varying radii of curvature, and a concavity with a radius of curvature facing the upper facing surface.    
     
     
         14 . The pillow according to  claim 13 , wherein 
 the pillow is constructed of a compressible and resilient material.    
     
     
         15 . The pillow according to  claim 13 , wherein 
 the intersecting surfaces of the main and pentahederal sections incorporate a radius of curvature that avoids the creation of a sharp edge between neighboring surfaces.
