  • Patent number: 7886382
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pillow inexpensively, in which a portion where the head of a user is rested is a hollow section which is evenly sloped and deformable bending of the neck or the tossing of the user. The pillow may have a sloped a sloping partition enclosing stuffing and located inside a pillow casing where the head of a user is rested, the sloped partition extending from the top cloth to the bottom cloth. The height of the sloping partition is slightly less than the clearance between the top and bottom cloths. A portion enclosed by the sloping partition on the top cloth side is a size in which the head of the user fits. The sloping partition is spaced from the neck side cloth inside the pillow casing.

  • Patent number: 7089616
    Abstract: A composite pillow which prevents difference in level and a depression from being formed at a contact surface between divided core material parts, thereby prevents discomfort to a user. The composite pillow has core parts of different material or different hardness located at proper positions. The composite pillow is divided into a central part and a holding part for holding the central part by face-to-face contact and the parts are arranged in parallel. The central part and the holding part differ in hardness or material; and right and left contact surfaces of the holding parts contacting the central part and corresponding contact surfaces of the central part are diagonally formed.

  • Publication number: 20050262637
    Abstract: A composite pillow for preventing difference from occurring in level and a depression from being formed on a contact surface between divided core material parts, thereby preventing discomfort from being brought about to a user, capable of locating core material parts different in material or core material parts different in hardness at proper positions. The composite pillow is divided into a central part and a holding part for holding the central part by a face pair; each of the parts are arranged parallel so as to be in contact on a contact surface; the central part and the holding part differ in hardness or material; and right and left contact surfaces of the holding part contacting the central part and a contact surface of the central part corresponding the relevant contact surface are diagonally formed.

  • Patent number: 6436034
    Abstract: Disclosed is an intrabuccal stretcher having essentially a supporting bar and a pushing part formed at each distal end of the supporting bar; the pushing parts having such a thickness and such a roundish shape as are suitable for pushing internal sides of buccae; the supporting bar being bent symmetrically with respect to the vertical axis; the pushing parts being extended outward from the distal ends of the supporting bar; wherein the pushing par-n are inserted into an oral cavity with the supporting bar remaining partly outside the oral cavity to push and simulate internal sides of the buccae.
