Description

"Kopfkissen" "Pillow"

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein KopfkissenThe invention relates to a pillow

In der DE-PS 35 32 954 wird ein Kopfkissen be¬ schrieben, bei welchem durch die bestimmte Anord¬ nung der Oberfläche des Kissens, derart, daß ein ge¬ sonderter Kopf1 agerberei ch und ein gesonderter Nackenlagerbereich geschaffen wird, die beide in ihrer Höhenlage gegeneinander abgestimmt sind, wobei an der Oberseite des Kissens nockenartige, weiche Erhebungen vorgesehen sind, erreicht wird, daß eine sanfte und doch luftdurchlässige Abstützung des Kopfes und des Nackens gewährleistet wird, wobei durch den Einsatz eines in bestimmter Weise gestal¬ teten Bezuges die stützende Funktion des Kissens mit einer hautfreundlichen Lagerfläche kombiniert wird.DE-PS 35 32 954 describes a pillow in which, by the specific arrangement of the surface of the pillow, in such a way that a separate head storage area and a separate neck support area are created, both at high altitude are coordinated with one another, cam-like, soft elevations being provided on the top of the pillow, ensuring that a gentle yet air-permeable support of the head and neck is ensured, the supporting function being provided by the use of a cover designed in a certain way of the pillow is combined with a skin-friendly storage area.

Dieses bekannte Kissen, das sowohl im medizinischen wie im privaten Bereich eingesetzt wird, hat sich in vorzüglicher Weise bewährt und ist in großer Stück¬ zahl auf dem Markt.This known pillow, which is used both in the medical and in the private sector, has proven itself in an excellent manner and is on the market in large numbers.

In gewissen Anwendungsbereichen hat es sich als nachteilig herausgestellt, daß das Kissen eine ganz bestimmte Höhe aufweist. In vielen Fällen ist es wünschenswert, die Höhe des Kissens an bestimmte körperliche Gestaltungen des Benutzers anzupassen oder auch das Kissen in dem einen oder anderen Fall in einer unterschiedlichen Höhenlage benutzen zu können .In certain areas of application, it has been found to be disadvantageous that the pillow is a whole has a certain height. In many cases it is desirable to adapt the height of the pillow to certain physical configurations of the user or to be able to use the pillow at different heights in one case or another.

In einigen Einsatzfällen kann es auch notwendig sein, die Breite des Kissens zu verringern. Um eine Herstellung einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlich ge¬ stalteten und den persönlichen Anforderungen ent¬ sprechender Kissen zu vermeiden, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kissen zu schaffen, das sowohl in seiner Breite und/oder in seiner Höhe ein- stellbar ist.In some applications it may also be necessary to reduce the width of the pillow. In order to avoid the production of a large number of pillows of different designs and according to personal requirements, the object of the invention is to create a pillow which can be adjusted both in width and / or in height.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the teaching of the main claim.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteran¬ sprüchen erläutert.Advantageous configurations are explained in the subclaims.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, schlägt die Erfin¬ dung vor, daß zur Höhenregulierung des Kissens die eigentliche Basisplatte des Kissens zweiteilig aus¬ gebildet ist, wobei die beiden Teile fest, aber leicht lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Um die Breite des Kissens einstellen zu können, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß das Kissen insgesamt über seine Länge gesehen in der Breite zweiteilig ausgebildet ist, so daß dadurch die Möglichkeit geschaffen wird, die Rückseite des Kissens abzu¬ nehmen. Auch in diesem Fall sind die beiden, das Kissen bildenden Teile fest aber lösbar miteinander verbunden. Hierbei ist es selbstverständlich mög- lieh, die beiden Vorschläge derart miteinander zu kombinieren, daß das Kissen sowohl in der Höhe wie auch in der Breite einstellbar ist.In other words, the invention proposes that the actual base plate of the pillow be formed in two parts for height adjustment of the pillow, the two parts being firmly but easily releasably connected to one another. In order to be able to adjust the width of the pillow, it is further proposed that the pillow as a whole be made in two parts in width over its length, so that this creates the possibility of removing the back of the pillow. In this case, too, the two parts forming the cushion are firmly but releasably connected to one another. Of course it is possible lent to combine the two proposals in such a way that the pillow is adjustable both in height and in width.

Mit diesem erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag wird er¬ reicht, daß trotz einheitlicher Serienproduktion eine individuelle Anpassung des Kissens an den Benutzer möglich ist und daß der Benutzer nicht an eine Kissenform gebunden ist, sondern ggf. in Ab¬ hängigkeit seiner körperlichen Verfassung das Kissen auch entsprechend einstellen kann.With this proposal according to the invention it is achieved that, despite a uniform series production, an individual adaptation of the pillow to the user is possible and that the user is not bound to a pillow shape, but rather can adjust the pillow accordingly depending on his physical condition .

Ein Ausf hrungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfol gend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

Die Zeichnung zeigt dabei inThe drawing shows in

Fig. 1 eine schaubildliche Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Kissens und in Fig. 2 einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie 2 - 2 in Fig. 1.1 is a perspective view of a pillow according to the invention and in Fig. 2 is a section along the line 2 - 2 in Fig. 1st

In der Zeichnung ist ein Kissen dargestellt, das im wesentlichen aus einer Lagerplatte 1 und einer Ba- sisplatte 2 besteht. Die Lagerplatte 1 weist Erhe¬ bungen 3 auf und die Oberseite des Kissens ist so gestaltet, daß wenigstens eine Kopf1 agerf1 äche 4 und wenigstens eine Nackenlagerfläche 5 geschaffen wer¬ den. Die Nackenlagerfläche 5 ist an der Vorderseite 9 des Kissens angeordnet, die - wie dies besonders deutlich Fig. 2 zeigt - lotrecht und gerade ausge¬ bildet sein kann, während die übrigen Seitenflächen des Kissens leicht gewölbt gestaltet sind.In the drawing, a pillow is shown, which essentially consists of a bearing plate 1 and a base plate 2. The bearing plate 1 has elevations 3 and the top of the pillow is designed in such a way that at least one head bearing surface 4 and at least one neck bearing surface 5 are created. The neck bearing surface 5 is arranged on the front side 9 of the pillow, which - as is particularly clearly shown in FIG. 2 - can be formed vertically and straight, while the other side surfaces of the pillow are slightly arched.

ie Basisplatte 2 ist durch eine Trennung 6 zwei- teilig ausgebildet, so daß die beiden Basisplatten¬ teile 7 und 8 geschaffen werden. Diese beiden Basis¬ plattenteile 7 und 8 sind über die in der Zeichnung deutlich erkennbaren formschlüssigen Verbindungs¬ elemente fest aber lösbar miteinander verbunden, wo¬ bei in der Zeichnung als Formschlußelement eine eine Ausführungsform dargestellt ist, bei der auf dem Basisplattenteil 7 nach oben vorspringende, über die ganze Länge der Basisplatte reichende Wulste 10 vorgesehen sind, die in entsprechende, in den Basisplattenteil 8 vorgesehene Ausnehmungen 11 eingreifen, wobei die Ausnehmungen 11 die Wulste 10 umgreifen und dadurch die beiden Teile miteinander fest verbinden. Anstelle dieser dargestellten Ver¬ bindungsart können selbstverständlich auch andere im Stand der Technik bekannte Verbindungsarten zur Lösung der der Erfindung zugrundeliegenden Aufgabe eingesetzt werden.The base plate 2 is separated by a separation 6 formed in parts, so that the two base plate parts 7 and 8 are created. These two base plate parts 7 and 8 are firmly but detachably connected to one another via the form-fitting connecting elements which can be clearly seen in the drawing, one embodiment being shown in the drawing as a form-locking element in which projecting upwards on the base plate part 7 Beads 10 extending over the entire length of the base plate are provided, which engage in corresponding recesses 11 provided in the base plate part 8, the recesses 11 encompassing the beads 10 and thereby firmly connecting the two parts to one another. Instead of this type of connection shown, other types of connection known in the prior art can of course also be used to achieve the object on which the invention is based.

Wie die vorbeschriebene Verbindungsart wirkt, zeigt deutlich die teilweise herausgezogene Stellung gemäß Fig. 1, in der in der Praxis unüblicher Weise das Basisplattenteil 7 gegenüber dem Basisplattenteil 8 vorgezogen ist.The partially pulled-out position according to FIG. 1 clearly shows how the above-described type of connection works, in which, in practice, the base plate part 7 is preferred over the base plate part 8.

In der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt, aber von der Erfindung mit umfaßt, ist die Lehre, daß auch eine Teilung des Kissens durch eine Trennung in Längs¬ achse und lotrecht erfolgt. Hierdurch ist es dann möglich, beispielsweise die Rückseite des Kissens abzunehmen und dadurch die Breite des Kissens, bei¬ spielsweise in Anpassung an die Bettlänge, einzu- stel 1 en . Not shown in the drawing, but encompassed by the invention, is the teaching that the cushion is also divided by a separation in the longitudinal axis and perpendicular. This then makes it possible, for example, to remove the back of the pillow and thereby adjust the width of the pillow, for example in adaptation to the bed length.
