Pillow construction

Abstract

A pillow construction is designed to provide a user desirable support to the head and neck of a user, air permeability, ventilation, and air-cooling, to maintain a healthy thermal homeostatis by covering with a breathable cover sheet and a predetermined arrangement of apertures. The pillow construction comprises a head support having a hollow case, made by a solid-state or semi-solid-state material, wherein at least one aperture is formed on a plurality of horizontally opposed side walls on an exterior surface of the head support. A buffer material or a damper material may be selected to be attached onto the surface of the head support for the purpose of enhanced elastic support. A set of holes or slits may be selected to be formed on the surface of the head support to facilitate air convection.

         7 . The pillow construction according to  claim 5 , wherein a contoured surface defines the exterior surface of the head support, and a combination of the contoured surface and the buffer material forms an air flow passage. 
     
     
         8 . The pillow construction according to  claim 5 , wherein the head support is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic material, a metallic material, a wooden material, and a bamboo material. 
     
     
         9 . The pillow construction according to  claim 5 , wherein the buffer material is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a mold-formed foam, a high-density foam, a memory foam, and a natural latex foam. 
     
     
         10 . The pillow construction according to  claim 5 , wherein the buffer material is combined with a damper material. 
     
     
         11 . A pillow construction, comprising:
 a head support, wherein a hollow case defines an interior structure of the head support, and at least one aperture is formed on horizontally opposed side walls on an exterior surface of the head support;   a damper material, which is applied to a top portion of an exterior surface of the head support; and   a breathable cover sheet, which directly covers the exterior surface of the head support and an exterior surface of the elastormeric material.   
     
     
         12 . The pillow construction according to  claim 11 , wherein at least one slit or hole is formed on the exterior surface of the head support. 
     
     
         13 . The pillow construction according to  claim 11 , wherein a contoured surface defines the exterior surface of the head support, and a combination of the contoured surface and the buffer material forms an air flow passage. 
     
     
         14 . The pillow construction according to  claim 11 , wherein the head support is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic material, a metallic material, a wooden material, and a bamboo material. 
     
     
         15 . The pillow construction according to  claim 11 , wherein the damper material is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a gel material, a latex material, a silicon gel material, a soft rubber material, a soft synthetic rubber material, and a soft polyurethane material. 
     
     
         16 . A pillow construction, comprising:
 a head support, wherein a hollow case defines an interior structure of the head support, and at least one aperture is formed on horizontally opposed side walls on an exterior surface of the head support; and   a water pack, which is attached to a top portion of the exterior surface of the head support.   
     
     
         17 . The pillow construction of  claim 16 , wherein the top portion of the exterior surface of the head support is equipped with at least one fastener facilitating releasable retention of the water pack. 
     
     
         18 . The pillow construction of  claim 16 , wherein the water pack is attached to the head support with a glue. 
     
     
         19 . The pillow construction of  claim 16 , wherein the head support and the water pack may be enclosed together under a breathable cover sheet.
