Pillow for the prevention of cranial deformities in newborns

Abstract

The pillow has an orifice of suitable dimensions, which decreases the local pressure exerted on the skull, which is formed by a body of foam or another material deformable under pressure and a fabric coating which protects the core and improves the hold of the head, whose coating has an upper layer and another lower one sewn together in the same orifice and followings its perimeter and at mid height of the foam core, although the fabric, due to its physical, elastic or contraction properties, offers sufficient support and said upper and lower layers do not require being joined together in the perimeter of the orifice. The cavity formed has dimensions which adapt to the natural shape of the newborn baby's head.

1 . A pillow for a head of a newborn, comprising a body composed of a material which is deformable under pressure and having an orifice decreasing a local pressure exerted on a cranium; and a fabric cover protecting a center and improving holding of the head, said fabric having an upper layer and a lower layer which are sewn together in said orifice following a perimeter of the latter at a medium height of a center of said body. 
   
   
       2 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the material of said body is a foam material. 
   
   
       3 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said fabric is a fabric offering sufficient support due to its own physical, elastic or contactive properties. 
   
   
       4 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said lower layer and said upper layer are not joined along said perimeter of said orifice. 
   
   
       5 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said fabric includes an outer protective fabric which is permanently attached to said body without a possibility of removal without destroying said body. 
   
   
       6 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said body has upper and lower faces of a center, which are arranged parallel to each other to improve a comfort of the newborn. 
   
   
       7 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said body has upper and lower faces of a center, which are arranged with a slight inclination to improve a comfort of the newborn. 
   
   
       8 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said body has a strictly decorative shape on its outer perimeter. 
   
   
       9 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said body has a shape provided for a specific use selected from a group consisting of for a cradle and for a baby pram. 
   
   
       10 . A pillow as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said body is a body composed of natural forming latex and produced by heat molding. 
   
   
       11 . A pillow for a head of a newborn, comprising a body having a cavity of dimensions such that said cavity adapts to the natural shape of the head of a newborn for decreasing local pressure points on its head. 
   
   
       12 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , and further comprising a layer of fabric which covers said body to protect a center of the pillow. 
   
   
       13 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said fabric includes an outer protective fabric which is permanently attached to said body without a possibility of removal without destroying said body. 
   
   
       14 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said body has upper and lower faces of a center, which are arranged parallel to each other to improve a comfort of the newborn. 
   
   
       15 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said body has upper and lower faces of a center, which are arranged with a slight inclination to improve a comfort of the newborn. 
   
   
       16 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said body has a strictly decorative shape on its outer perimeter. 
   
   
       17 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said body has a shape provided for a specific use selected from a group consisting of for a cradle and for a baby pram. 
   
   
       18 . A pillow as defined in  claim 11 , wherein said body is a body composed of natural forming latex and produced by heat molding.
