MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PILLOW DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-functional pillow device,
particularly to a pillow device which accommodates face down sleep, allows
input of audio music for playing from its speakers, and is equipped with a
vibration unit for massage.
2. Description of Related Art
[0002] Normally a prior art pillow is a plane device suitable for
sleeping
on one's back (i.e. face up sleep) or sleeping on one's side. However, the
prior
art pillow is not comfortable for sleeping on one's stomach (i.e. face down
sleep). Besides, the pillow may only be used for taking a nap and sleeping
without any additional function; therefore the prior art pillow is low in
value.
Moreover, if one wants to listen to music during sleep, one can only place a
media player or an MP3 player beside the pillow, which could be troublesome
and may disturb someone else.
[0003] Therefore, a pillow device with multiple functions which is not
only comfortable for any sleeping positions but also plays music and songs as
well as provides massage is substantially required.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
CA 02805158 2013-02-08
[0004] The primary object of the present disclosure is to offer a pillow
device with multiple functions which is comfortable for any sleeping
positions,
allows a user to input music and listen from its speakers, and provides
massage.
[0005] To achieve the above purposes, a multi-functional pillow device
is disclosed. The multi-functional pillow device comprises a main body, two
side bodies and a control unit. The main body has a through hole for face down
sleep, a matching element for fitting with the through hole, and a circuit
board
inside the main body for connecting to a vibration unit and a rotation unit.
Each
of the side bodies is connected to the rotation unit and has a speaker
connected
to the circuit board. The side bodies can be adjusted to a vertical position
or a
horizontal position by the rotation unit. The control unit is disposed at the
external of the main body and is connected to the circuit board for setting
and
controlling the vibration unit and the rotation unit, for inputing audio data
from
USB, MP3 storage, or computer, and for saving the audio data in the circuit
board for playing from the speakers. The matching element can be fitted in the
through hole of the main body with exact matching, and the vibration unit can
be regulated to vibrate by the control unit.
[0006] According to one embodiment of the multi-functional pillow
device, the through hole is circle shaped.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the multi-functional pillow
device, the vibration unit is a motor which rotates an eccentric cam to
generate
vibration.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the multi-functional pillow
device, the rotation unit has a motor disposed inside the main body and a
2
CA 02805158 2013-02-08
rotative arm connected to the pivot of the motor and fixed to the side body.
The
side bodies are adjusted to a vertical position or a horizontal position when
the
motor drives the rotative arm to rotate.
[0009] According to one embodiment of the multi-functional pillow
device, the control unit has pythoncidere disposed inside, which is released
through a release opening.
[0010] To further understand the techniques, means and effects of the
instant disclosure applied for achieving the prescribed objectives, the
following
detailed descriptions and appended drawings are hereby referred, such that,
through which, the purposes, features and aspects of the instant disclosure
can
be thoroughly and concretely appreciated. However, the appended drawings are
provided solely for reference and illustration, without any intention to limit
the
instant disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

CA 02805158 2013-02-08
[0016] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram
of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the
structures
inside the pillow device of the present invention. As shown in the figures, a
multi-functional pillow device according to the present invention comprises a
main body 1 and two side bodies 2 connected to two laterals of the main body
1. The main body 1 has a through hole 11 disposed at the center of the main
body 1 and a matching element 111 correspondingly fitted with the through
hole 11. In the present embodiment, the through hole 11 is circle shaped, so
the
matching element 111 is a cylinder. The main body 1 has a circuit board 12
disposed inside. The circuit board 12 is connected to a vibration unit 13 and
two speakers 14; the two speakers 14 are respectively disposed at the two side
bodies 2. The vibration unit 13 is a motor 131 whose pivot is connected to an
eccentric cam 132, so that the motor 131 may drive and rotate the eccentric
cam 132 to generate vibration. The multi-functional pillow device further has
rotation units 15 disposed between the main body 1 and the side bodies 2. Each
of the two rotation units 15 has a motor 151 disposed at the main body 1, and
the pivot of the motor 151 is connected to a rotative arm 152 which is
disposed
and fixed inside its corresponding side body 2. In this manner, the side
bodies 2
may be adjusted to a vertical position or a horizontal position when the
motors
151 drive the rotative arms 152 to rotate.
[0017] The circuit board 12 is connected to an external control unit 3,
and the control unit 3 has a button 31 wired connected to the circuit board
12.
The vibration unit 13 and the rotation unit 15 are set and controlled by the
4
CA 02805158 2013-02-08
circuit board 12. The control unit 3 has pythoncidere disposed inside, which
is
released through a release opening 32.
[0018] The multi-functional pillow device may accommodate sleeping
on one's stomach (i.e. face down sleep). Besides, some audio or music data
may be input or installed from USB 33, MP3 storage 34 or computer and then
saved in the circuit board 12, so that after the rotation unit 15 has driven
and
rotated the side bodies 2 into a vertical position the audio data (i.e. music)
may
be played from the speakers 14. Furthermore, the matching element 111 can be
disposed in the through hole 11 and then the vibration unit 13 can be
regulated
to vibrate by the control unit 3.
[0019] Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 1. When the matching element
111 is detached from the main body 1, one may place one's head in the through
hole 11 when sleeping on one's stomach; this helps one sleep deeper without
obstructing one's breath. Besides, the side bodies 2 may be regulated to
rotate
to a vertical position through the rotation of the rotative arm 152, which is
driven by the motor 151; in this manner, without bothering one's bedfellow a
user can listen to music coming from the speakers 14 which are placed right
next to the user's ears. The pythoncidere released from the release opening 32
of the control unit 3 may also help the user sleep deeper.
[0020] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 1. The matching element 111 may
be disposed in the through hole 11 of the main body 1 with exact matching, so
that the upper surface of the main body 1 and the matching element 111 are
level and fitted smoothly. In this manner, one may sleep on one's back (i.e.
face up sleep) and lay one's head on the main body 1. The vibration unit 13
CA 02805158 2013-02-08
. , .
. ,
may be turned on by the button 31 of the control unit 3, so that the motor 131
may drive and rotate the eccentric cam 132 to provide massage to one's head,
neck, or other body parts. In a preferable embodiment, the user can also set a
vibration frequency or a vibration time on the control unit 3.
100211 Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 1, when not playing
music, the
two side bodies 2 may be laid down to a horizontal position through the
rotation of the rotation units 15 at the control of the control unit 3. In
this
manner, the multi-functional pillow device may be used as an ordinary pillow
and may be easily stored.
100221 Summarily, the multi-functional pillow device of the
present
invention has a through hole 11 disposed in the main body 1, has at least one
speaker 14 disposed in the rotative side bodies 2, and allows input of audio
music for the speakers 14 to play. This may achieve multiple purposes
including providing massage, accommodating face down/up sleep, and music
playing.
[0023] The above-mentioned descriptions merely represent the
preferred
embodiments of the instant disclosure, without any intention or ability to
limit
the scope of the instant disclosure which is fully described only within the
following claims. Various equivalent changes, alterations or modifications
based on the claims of instant disclosure are all, consequently, viewed as
being
embraced by the scope of the instant disclosure.
