ZITORNEYS Patented Apr. 15, 1930 BESSIE COMSTQCK', OF WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN SOFA PILLOW Application filed October 10, 1928. Serial No. 311,455.
This invention relates to improvements in sofa pillows.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved sofapillow which will maintain an oval contour adapted to support the head in various positions of elevation and which is peculiarly adapted for use in students quarters where pillows are frequently thrown from one portion of a room to another.
More particularly stated, it is an object of my invention to provide a sofa pillow having the form and appearance of a football but which may be provided with a yielding filling such as feathers which are maintained under a desired tension by an exterior covering co-operative with an interior contourmaintaining cover.
A further object of my invention is to provide a sofa pillow with a contour-maintaining covering adapted to wholly enclose a filling of feathers or other yielding material and an outer removable covering which may be replaced from time to time for the purpose of substituting clean coverings or coverings of differing matertals or colors.
In the drawings Figure 1 is an isometric view of a pillow embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a similar view with the outer covering removed;
Figure 8 is a cross sectional view.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
My improved pillow has an inner covering composed of strips of fabric each tapering from its central portion toward its respective ends to form a generally oval piece except that the side margins converge progressively to a point at its respective ends. A suitable number of these strips 10 is stitched together along their side margins with their pointed ends 11 meeting to form a sack having conically tapered end portions and rounded ends, the sack as a whole having substantially the oval contour of an ordinary football and containing a filling of feathers 13 or other suitable soft yielding filling material. The
strips 10 when thus formed and stitched together comprise a contour-maintaining cas- PTO ing at the central portion of which on one side an auxiliary covering 15 preferably of a substantially oval contour is stitched to the contour-maintaining covering along all of its margins. This auxiliary covering 15 is preferably composed of canvas or other relatively coarse fabric having a color resembling that of leather particularly the chrome leather employed for covering footballs.
An outer covering composed of strips of fabric 16 similar in contour to the strips 10 is then formed by stitching the side margins of the strips together on all sides except one where lacing apertures 17 are provided and suitably reinforced by stitching to enable a lacing cord 18 to be employed to draw the sides of the associated strips together in their central portions their end portions being permanently stitched to each other; In this particular also the construction resembles that of an ordinary football, although the covering material is preferably composed of fabric and in any event is composed of soft flexible material'unlike that employed for covering a football, although colored to represent as nearly as possible a standard football color. The opening 19 across which the cord 18 is laced is of sufficient length to allow the filling with its inner covering to be removed through the opening when the lacing cord is removed whereby the outer covering may be removed and replaced at pleas ure without releasing the filling from the in ner covering.
It will, of course. be understood that both ii; coverings -are porous, allowing air to pass with almost the same freedom as in an ordinary pillow, the only additional obstruction to the passage of air being due to the fact that two coverings are employed. However, the ira use of two coverings makes it possible to make one covering of a fabric which if closely stitched or mercerized would afford a greater resistance to the passage of air than an ordinary fabric Without preventing the escape of air in such a manner as to discommode the user by preventing the pillow wall from yielding under pressure.
A pillow of the described contour is serviceable for a great many purposes other than 11c those of play and to some extent for purposes for which an ordinary pillow is not available as a cushion. It ma be adjusted to various positions to relieve atigue and as a support for the head of a person in a reclining position. It may be adjusted to support the head at various positions of elevation with better results than can be obtained with the ordinary illow, although not as serviceable when used or supporting the head during prolonged sleep. Its cylindrical central portion and tapered end portions enable it to be handled, carried, or thrown with the facility of a football without acquiring the momentum of a football and without producing violent imacts such as would break windows or damage urniture if thrown within a room.
The auxiliary covering 15 will be similar in texture and color to the outer covering and will be visible between the strands of lacin cord 18. This auxiliary covering 15 there ore prevents the more flexible cheaper inner covering from being seen and it is also used in imitation of the protecting flap of the ordinary football except that whereas the protecting flap of the ordinary football is stitched to the inner face of the outer or leather cover and is a true flap connected only along one margin, this auxiliary cover 15 is not a true flap and is permanently stitched to the inner contour-maintaining covering of the pillow merely as a concealing member and to protect the inner covering from being soiled as to the portion which would otherwise be exposed along the lacing slit.
I claim: a
A pillow provided with a flexible filling enclosed by a contour-maintaining covering of fabric in combination with an outer covering also of fabric and having an elongated opening intermediate of its ends, the margins of which are provided with lacing apertures, and a lacing cord extending through said apertures and connecting said margins, the inner covering being provided with a permanently attached piece of material similar in color and a pearance to that of the outer covering an registering with the laced aperture in the outer covering.
