Abstract
A sleeping pillow that provides gentle pressure over the scalp and crown of a user's head, block out light, and muffle sound.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A sleeping pillow configured to be positioned over a face of a user comprising:
an inner jacket that is configured to house fill, the inner jacket and the fill being pliable due to the gravitational forces; an outer jacket that is configured to wrap around the inner jacket, the inner jacket is smaller in size than the outer jacket, wherein the inner jacket and the outer jacket are comprised of pliable material; a concave indentation positioned on a lower edge of the inner jacket and the outer jacket, the concave indention having first width, the first width being longer in length than a height of the concave indention; a first arm positioned on a first side of the concave indention; a second arm positioned on a second side of the concave indention, the first arm and the second arm being symmetrical in shape; a first zipper positioned on a first upper edge of the inner jacket, the zipper only extending across part of the first upper edge, the first upper edge being positioned on an opposite side of the sleeping pillow as the concave indentation, wherein the first zipper is covered by the outer jacket; a second zipper positioned on a second upper edge of the outer jacket, the second zipper configured to be aligned with the first zipper and longer in length that the first zipper; a pillow case configured to be positioned adjacent to the outer jacket, the pillow case also being configured to cover the outer jacket, the pillow case includes a second opening positioned on a sidewall of the pillow, wherein the sidewall is positioned between the lower edge and the first upper edge, the sidewall being shorter in length than the lower edge and the first upper edge.
2 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the concave indention can change based on forces applied to the sleeping pillow.
3 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the fill is faux down material.
4 . The sleeping pillow of claim 3 , wherein the fill is comprised of non-continuous material, wherein an amount and volume of fill within the inner jacket is adjustable.
5 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein sides of the sleeping pillow are configured to extend past ears of a user.
6 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the inner jacket and the outer jacket are comprised of elastic material.
7 . The sleeping pillow of claim 9 , wherein the inner jacket and the outer jacket are comprised of pliable material that is configured to change shape based on gravitational forces.
8 . The sleeping pillow of claim 10 , wherein the gravitational forces alone is configured to counter a surface of the outer jacket around a face of a user without an additional external forces being applied to the outer jacket.
9 . The sleeping pillow of claim 11 , wherein edges of the outer jacket are configured to apply gravitational forces to edges of the inner jacket to change a shape of the sleeping pillow.
10 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the sleeping pillow has a second width, wherein in a first mode the first width is greater than half the second length.
11 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the concave indentation is configured to change shape based on gravitational forces.
12 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the concave indentation includes continuously curved outer boundaries.
13 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the sleeping pillow is configured to be positioned over a face of a user, and the concave indentation is configured to be positioned above a nose of the user.
14 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface and a lower surface of the outer jacket are substantially planar.
15 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein the inner jacket and the outer jacket are comprised of different materials.
16 . The sleeping pillow of claim 1 , wherein when an object is positioned below the sleeping pillow, gravitational tension is configured to pull the outer edges of the sleeping pillow around the object.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
