Abstract

The pillow is in two parts - a fixed section (2) filled with foam or feathers, and an inflatable section (3) connected by rubber tubes (4) to a housing (1) containing a small blower. The blower, which is electronically controlled, delivers air to the inflatable section of the pillow through two valves to produce either a gentle rising and falling motion or a side to side rocking motion. The pillow can also be used with the movement de-activated.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de réaliser des bercements de la tête d'une personne dans sa position de sommeil (dos ou côté) en vue de provoquer ou de faciliter son endormissement ou sa relaxation.  The present invention relates to a device for performing rocking of the head of a person in his sleeping position (back or side) in order to cause or facilitate sleep or relaxation.

Traditionnellement, le dormeur repose sa tête sur un oreiller statique le plus souvent en plume, mousse..., au mieux sur un oreiller anatomique d'un type ou d'un autre.  Traditionally, the sleeper rests his head on a static pillow, most often in feather, foam ..., at best on an anatomical pillow of one type or another.

De nombreuses personnes stressées ou insomniaques souffrent de problèmes de sommeil, de tensions dans le cou, la nuque, de tensions mentales....  Many stressed or insomniac people suffer from sleep problems, tensions in the neck, nape of the neck, mental tensions ...

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de remédier au problème de l'endormissement ; il se compose de deux parties : A) Une petite soufflerie permettant de produire un courant d'air rythmé ou bi-rythmé B) Un oreiller composé de deux parties : une fixe classique en mousse ou autre - une gonflable et dégonflable
La partie gonflable se gonfle et se dégonfle sur un rythme légèrement inférieur à celui de la respiration de la personne et provoque son endormissement. The device of the invention overcomes the problem of falling asleep; it consists of two parts: A) A small blower allowing to produce a rhythmic or bi-rhythmic air flow B) A pillow composed of two parts: a classic fixed foam or other - an inflatable and deflatable
The inflatable part swells and deflates at a rate slightly lower than that of the person's breathing and causes him to fall asleep.

Plusieurs types de réalisations et de fonctionnements peuvent être envisagés : Ca La partie gonflable de l'oreiller est divisée en 2 parties étanches dans le sens de la largeur 0 Chacune des parties est équipée d'une valve calibrée et temporisée mécanique- ment permettant l'échappement de l'air dès que la pression dépasse la valeur de calibrage 0 Le remplissage est plus court que le vidage-imitant en cela et le bruit et le rythme de la respiration du dormeur 0 Au repos (sans air) l'oreiller a une épaisseur normale 0 Les arrivées d'air peuvent se débrancher 0 La soufflerie est constituée d'un petit moteur électrique, d'une pompe, éventuel- lement d'un répartiteur des courants d'air si on choisit l'oreiller à deux comparti- ments d'air et d'un système électronique de régulation 0 La soufflerie peut débiter alternativement tantôt dans un tube, tantôt dans l'autre provoquant un bercement latéral de la tête 0 Le rythme de la soufflerie est réglable 0 La durée de fonctionnement de la soufflerie est temporisée et s'arrête automati- quement Several types of embodiments and operations can be envisaged: Ca The inflatable part of the pillow is divided into 2 watertight parts in the width direction 0 Each part is equipped with a calibrated and mechanically timed valve allowing the exhaust air as soon as the pressure exceeds the calibration value 0 The filling is shorter than the emptying-imitating in this and the noise and the rhythm of the sleeper's breathing 0 At rest (without air) the pillow has a normal thickness 0 The air inlets can be disconnected 0 The blower consists of a small electric motor, a pump, possibly a distributor of air currents if you choose the pillow with two compartments air and an electronic regulation system 0 The blower can flow alternately sometimes in one tube, sometimes in the other causing a lateral rocking of the head 0 The rhythm of the blower is adjustable 0 The duration of blower operation is timed and stops automatically
