2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, some person will spend one-third lifetime to sleep. Therefore, a well sleep is an important factor in health. The well sleep needs a good bedclothing except a good environment, such as dark and quiet environment. When a man steps or sits, a number of muscles in the small of the back, such as the big lumbar muscle and the small lumbar muscle, must be used to support the backbone. Therefore, the number of muscles in the small of the back can have a rest only if the people lie. Therefore, a perfect bed is an important tool to make the muscles relax every inch.
The perfect bed should be a bed having countless supporting dots as if countless hands support our body uniformly. That is, the perfect bed should correspond to contours of our bodies and have same supports everywhere.
From the above, a water bed is a bed which is much close to the perfect bed. According to a report from the medical center of the Chicago University, the water bed can support and float a body uniformly based on a contour of the body, and can balance bones of the body. The water bed can also reduce presses upon the muscles, and can produce an excellent blood circulation, and can make the body float thereon every inch.
Additionally, if a man lies in a bed for a long time, the water bed will reduce the probability of occurring bedsore. Therefore, the water bed is the best comfortable bed which can remain a same temperature through water transmitting and heating devices, and can changing the solidness thereof. The water bed is a good selection for elders or men lying on bed for a long time because of illness. However, if the water bed is used, it needs a great deal of water. The great deal of water will makes the water bed too heavy and be difficult to exchange water. In addition, the water bed wastes water.
Except the water bed, an air bed is similar to the water bed. A conventional air bed can release gas therein through air holes to enhance ventilation of the beddings. The conventional air bed can complement gas by a pump. The conventional air bed can be curled up to be stored so that it occupies little space. However, using the conventional air bed, users will feel unsteady and close.
What is needed is to provide a pillow with dual-uses in warm and cold conditions which can solve the above problems.
A pillow with dual-uses in warm and cold conditions in accordance with a preferred embodiment includes a main body, a first chamber, a second chamber and a third chamber. The main body includes a first gas nipple, a plug and a second gas nipple mounted thereon. The first chamber is arranged at a center of the main body and connected with the gas nipple to be configured for filling gas therein. The second chamber is arranged in the main body and adjacent to an exterior of the main body. The second chamber is connected with the plug to be configured for filling water therein. The third chamber is arranged between the first chamber and the second chamber and connected with the second gas nipple to be configured for filling gas therein.
A pillow with dual-uses in warm and cold conditions in accordance with another preferred embodiment, includes a main body having a gas nipple and a plug mounted thereon; a first chamber arranged at the a of the main body and connected with the gas nipple to be configured for filling gas therein; and a second chamber arranged in the main body, and arranged at a side of the first chamber and adjacent to an exterior of the main body, the second chamber connected with the plug to be configured for filling water therein.
A pillow with dual-uses in warm and cold conditions in accordance with other preferred embodiment, includes a main body having at least one gas nipple and at least one plug mounted thereon; at least one first chamber arranged in the main body and connected with the at least one gas nipple respectively to be configured for filling gas therein; at least one second chamber arranged in the main body and connected with the at least one plug respectively to be configured for filling water therein.
The present pillow has advantages of the conventional air bed and the water bed, and solves disadvantages of the conventional air bed and the water bed. The present pillow uses at least one second chamber filled water therein to make it steady and uses at least one first chamber filled gas therein to decrease the using amount of the water. The present pillow may be used in many applications, such as mattresses, cushions on chair, cushions for leaning on, pillows for holding, or pillows for sleeping, etc.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
These and other features and advantages of the various embodiments disclosed herein will be better understood with respect to the following description and drawings, in which like numbers refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Reference will now be made to the drawings to describe a preferred embodiment of the present pillow with a dual-uses function, in detail.
A pillow with dual-uses in warm and cold conditions of the present invention may be a pillow for holding, a cushion for leaning on, a pillow for sleeping, a cushion on chair, or a mattress, etc. Referring to
In this preferred embodiment, the pillow has a cylinder as shown in
The first chamber 24 is arranged at a center of the main body 12 and connected with the first gas nipple 14. That is, the first chamber 24 can be filled with gas through the first gas nipple 14 and the gas filled therein occupies 80%˜90% contents of the first chamber 24. Since the first chamber 24 is filled fully approximately, the first chamber 24 is used as a support of the pillow.
The second chamber 20 is arranged in the main body 12 and adjacent to the exterior of the main body 12. The second chamber 20 is connected with the plug 18. That is, the second chamber 20 may be filled with water through the plug 18 and the water filled therein occupies 50%˜80% contents thereof. The water may be warm water that does not scald someone or cold water that has not frozen. The water has a temperature in a range from 5 to 45 degrees centigrade. The third chamber 22 is arranged between the first chamber 24 and the second chamber 20 and connected with the second gas nipple 16. The third chamber 22 can be filled with gas through the second gas nipple 16 and the gas can be adjusted under needs. Preferably, the gas filled in the third chamber 22 occupies 30%˜80% contents thereof
Furthermore, a pillowslip may be used to cover the main body 12 for making the pillow more pliable and comfortable. The pillowslip has a corresponding to the main body 12 and is made of a pliable and comfortable material selected from a group consisting of superflexible composite froth material, polyester fibrin, silica gel, rubber, plastic, wool, cotton, hemp and any combination thereabove.
