ADJUSTABLE PILLOW
A adjustable pillow comprises: a neck supporter, as a pad lying on the bed for supporting the neck; and two head supporters, as pads set behind the said neck supporter, therebetween is a space for head to cross over, hence not only neck and head are supported, but also ventilation on the rear side of the head of a lying person is achieved.
The present invention relates to an adjustable pillow, particularly to an adjustable pillow wherein the neck and head of a lying person are supported with ventilation on the rear side of his head, and wherein the heights of his neck and head are adjustable.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONPillows are used for supporting neck and head in sleep for avoiding back pain, numb hands and feet, stiff neck, insomnia or unsmooth breathing due to bad adjustment of the cervical vertebra.
A conventional pillow is designed along neck and head for supporting neck and head.
However, a conventional pillow usually wraps the head in a large area for supporting the head, which results in bad ventilation on the rear side of the head, therefore sleep quality is affected.
Besides, in a conventional pillow, for adjusting heights of neck and head, usually elastic material is applied. However, bad positioning of a user usually results in improper deformation, so the disadvantages mentioned above are not avoided. That means, a conventional pillow does not offer a structure for filling individual needs wherein heights of neck and head of a lying person are adjustable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe main object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable pillow, which supports the neck and head of a lying person with ventilation on the rear side of his head.
For achieving above object, the adjustable pillow of the present invention comprises: a neck supporter, as a pad lying on the bed, wherein the neck of a person lying on the back is laid on the neck supporter and two head supporters, set as pads behind the said neck supporter, wherein a space is therebetween for the head of the lying person crossing the two head supporters over a destined space, thereby not only the neck and head of a lying person are supported, but also ventilation of the rear side of his head is easily achieved.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein the two head supporters of are movable, for coming closer as well as departing.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein a fixing element is set between the two head supporters, for avoiding movement due to external pressure.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein the fixing element is a Velcro-set comprising: two locating Velcro-tapes set at the bottom of the two head supporters; and a connecting Velcro-tape for connecting with the said locating Velcro-tapes.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein at the bottom of the two head supporters there are anti-slip mats.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, comprises: a U-shaped bag building the neck supporter at the bottom, while the two head supporters on the each side; and filler which is set in the bag.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein the filler is of granular materials.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein the filler is of tubular granular materials.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein outside the two head supporter extends respectively a head supporter for lying down posture for supporting the head of a person lying down.
The adjustable pillow as mentioned above, wherein the height of the neck supporter ranges from 5 to 7 cm.
The adjustable pillow in the present invention, wherein the distance between the two head supporters is adjustable, and furthermore the head height of a person lying on the back is adjustable. Hence an adjustable head height for filling individual need is achieved.
The adjustable pillow in the present invention, wherein adjusting the head height for filling individual need is achieved by adjusting the distribution of filler in bag.
The adjustable pillow in the present invention, wherein outside both of the head supporters extends furthermore respectively a head supporter for supporting head in lying down posture.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrating by way of example the principles of the present invention.

The adjustable pillow of the present invention is made of elastical materials in one-piece or assembly. It can also be made of bag in destined shape with filler therein. As an example, a preferred embodiment is described as below.
As shown in the
The filler 2 is alternatively choose from: tubular granular materials 21 or regular granular materials or irregular granular materials. As example a preferred embodiment is described as following: the filler 2 is made of several tubular granular materials 21, which is a conventional art, wherein filling position is easily adjustable and the filler is easily engaged together. Accordingly, even under pressure the pillow keeps undeformed and thus deformation due to bad attitude of user is avoided.
Besides, in case of posture lying on the back, normally a suitable neck height ranges from 5 to 7 cm, nevertheless everybody has his individual need. So through adjusting distribution of filler 2 in the bag 1 the height of the neck supporter 11 is adjustable, thereby an adjustable neck height for filling individual need is achieved.
At a suitable position at the bottom of the bag 1 anti-slip mats are set (not shown) for avoiding movement of the adjustable pillow 100.
