Abstract
The present invention pertains to an adjustable support pillow. The pillow features a foldable design, allowing users to customize the adjustable support pillow's shape for optimal comfort and support. The pillow is constructed from a pair of sewn fabric sheets pockets are created by the joining of the fabric sheets. The filling material, comprising shredded particles, is introduced into these pockets through a controlled process, ensuring uniform distribution within each pocket. The foldable nature of the pillow enables versatile configurations, addressing various user preferences.
Claims13
A method for manufacturing a foldable adjustable support pillow, the method comprising:
- cutting, using a cutting element, fabric into a first rectangular fabric sheet and a second rectangular fabric sheet,
- wherein the first rectangular fabric sheet has a first and a third side having a length, and a second and a fourth side having a width, and
- wherein the second rectangular fabric sheet is dimensioned in accordance with the length and the width;
- marking, using an erasable marker, multiple longitudinal marks on the first rectangular fabric sheet from the second to the fourth side of the first rectangular fabric sheet,
- wherein each of the multiple longitudinal marks is laterally spaced from each other of the multiple longitudinal marks by a first spacing, and
- wherein a first and a last one of the multiple longitudinal marks are laterally spaced from the first and the third side of the first rectangular fabric sheet by a second spacing less than the first spacing;
- marking, using the erasable marker, multiple transverse marks on the first rectangular fabric sheet from the first to the third side of the first rectangular fabric sheet,
- wherein each of the multiple transverse marks is laterally spaced from each other of the multiple transverse marks by a third spacing, and
- wherein a first and a last one of the multiple transverse marks are laterally spaced from the second and the fourth side of the first rectangular fabric sheet by a fourth spacing less than the third spacing;
- placing, by a movable mechanical device, the first rectangular fabric sheet on the second rectangular fabric sheet,
- wherein the multiple longitudinal marks and the multiple transverse marks are exposed;
- sewing, by a sewing device, the first rectangular fabric sheet and the second rectangular fabric sheet together, forming multiple pockets within the sheets,
- wherein the sewing device sews along a bottommost unenclosed transverse mark and also along the multiple longitudinal marks up until the multiple longitudinal marks intersect the bottommost unenclosed transverse mark;
- inserting, through a filling system, particles of a filling material into the multiple pockets,
- wherein to fill each pocket of the multiple pockets, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe is inserted into the each pocket and a funnel is inserted into the PVC pipe,
- wherein the particles of the filling material are obtained using a grinding process using an electric mill grinder that grinds the filling material into the particles, and
- wherein the filling material is pushed through the funnel, and through the PVC pipe, into each of the multiple pockets using a dowel;
- sewing, by the sewing device, the first rectangular fabric sheet and the second rectangular fabric sheet together along a new bottommost unenclosed transverse mark, ensuring full enclosure of the filling material within the each pocket of the multiple pockets;
- and
- removing, by a washing component, the multiple longitudinal marks and the multiple transverse marks from the first rectangular fabric sheet.
