Abstract:
Hülle für ein Kissen, einen Decken- oder Matratzenaufbau, umfassend ein Hüllenteil (1) mit einer ersten Lage (1.1) und einer zweiten Lage (1.2), die auf wenigstens einer Seite fest miteinander verbunden sind und zwischen sich eine Tasche (T) bilden, die durch eine leicht lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung (1.31, 1.32) verschließbar ist, wobei eine der beiden Lagen (1.1, 1.2) aus einem stärker wärmeisolierenden und weicheren Material aufgebaut ist als die andere Lage, und eine Einlage (2), die eine Gelplatte (2.1) auf einer Trägerbahn (2.2) aufweist, wobei die Einlage (2) mittels einer leicht lösbaren Verbindungseinrichtung mit der Innenseite einer der beiden die Tasche (T) bildenden Lagen (1.1, 1.2) verbindbar ist.
Abstract:
A support cushion for providing individualized heating and cooling to a user resting on the support cushion is provided. The support cushion includes a body supporting portion, a plurality of thermoelectric elements positioned and configured to selectively provide heating or cooling of the body supporting portion, and a heat dissipating portion that is comprised of a thermally-absorbent material and is operably connected to the thermoelectric elements. Methods of controlling a surface temperature of a support cushion are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention provides a dehumidifier air passage being capable of providing a sufficient effect of dehumidification and being excellent in mass productivity. A dehumidifier air passage 10 is used in a dehumidifier for removing moisture by making the outside air flow in the vicinity of the surface of a human body and the like, and comprises a nearly flat spacer 11 and a moisture transmittable sheet 21. The spacer 11 is used for supporting the moisture transmittable sheet 21 and securing a space through which air flows, and has a nearly flat base 15 and a plurality of long and narrow projections 16. Each of the projections 16 is formed so that the face of it facing the moisture transmittable sheet 21 is at most 50 % in area of the face being in contact with the base 15. A foamed plastic material is used as a material for the spacer 11. The spacer 11 is manufactured by cutting a foamed plastic material or by molding a foamed plastic material.
Abstract:
The invention is a cooling pillow container insert (10) which provides a continuous cool pillow surface and absorbs a pillow user's lost metabolic heat. Preventing thermal discomfort which causes pillow flipping and tossing and turning is the primary goal of the invention. The container (10) slides between a conventional pillow (12) and pillow case (11). The container (10) is composed of a soft vinyl bag (13) which snugly surrounds a fluid saturated porous foam core (15). A resealable valve (29) allows fluid to be added or removed at will and the container's temperature to be adjusted. The container (10) promotes heat transfer from the pillow user (60) to the container (10). The heat is then dispersed uniformly throughout the container's fluid ensuring a uniformly cool pillow surface. Heat is also continuously lost to the surrounding environment. A pillow user's sleep is enhanced in warm temperatures without using an energy source. The container insert (10) can also be used with or without a pillow, as a cooling bed for an animal or a pet (71).
Abstract:
This invention concerns a pillow for sound sleep which has a containing bag packed with one metallic web formed of helical metallic threads or a plurality of such metallic webs prepared in a superposed state. The pillow for sound sleep is completed by spreading a plastic cushioning material on the bottom part of the containing bag, piling the metallic webs thereon, mounting a cooling medium further thereon, disposing a metallic web having magnets attached thereto in such a manner that the side thereof carrying the magnets may fall on the outer side, adjusting the metallic webs in position so as to conform to the prospective shape of the pillow, and closing fasteners of the container bag.
Abstract:
An improved pillow according to the invention is provided by inserting cushion material (3) fixed with a plurality of porcelain tiles (2) on its surface, into a bag body (1) having pearmeability and elasticity. Its shape is held during use, and natural sleeping posture is maintained, and the porcelain tile (2) cools the head moderately for comfortable sleep.
