Active cooling pillow systems and methods

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to create active cooling for a pillow. More particularly, it relates to systems and methods for creating positive pressure in a pillow to remove heat and perspiration from a user's head actively.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An active cooling pillow system comprising:
 a slipcover having a first end, a second end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, wherein the first end has a hose connection port disposed therein, and the second end has a pillow insertion opening, and further wherein at least the top surface or the bottom surface include a pattern of exhaust holes;   an exhaust hose; and   an exhaust fan.   
     
     
         2 . The active cooling pillow system of  claim 1 , wherein a pillow is inserted within the slipcover. 
     
     
         3 . The active cooling pillow system of  claim 1 , wherein both the top surface and the bottom surface include the pattern of exhaust holes. 
     
     
         4 . The active cooling pillow system of  claim 1 , wherein a pillowcase encloses the slipcover. 
     
     
         5 . The active cooling pillowcase system of  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust fan provides a flow rate of about 188 m3/h to about 280 m3/h. 
     
     
         6 . The active cooling pillow system of  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust hose has a first connection and a second connection. 
     
     
         7 . The active cooling pillow system of  claim 6 , wherein the first connection has a larger diameter than the second connection. 
     
     
         8 . A method of generating an active cooling pillow system comprising the following steps:
 providing a heat press having a series of accessory pins;   placing a slipcover into the heat press;   transferring heat generated by the heat press to the series of accessory pins;   engaging the series of accessory pins with the slipcover;   generating a pattern of exhaust holes into the slipcover; and   disengaging the slipcover from the heat press.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the slipcover comprises a first end, a second end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, wherein the first end has a hose connection port disposed therein, and the second end has a pillow insertion opening.
