Abstract
A dual-function pillow which in its normal mode serves as a comfortable bed rest or any other conventional purpose, and in its transformed mode functions as a plaything. The pillow is constituted by a soft and compressible inner bag and a removable outer case which covers the bag, the outer case having printed on its face a two-dimensional character in humanoid or animal-like form. Means such as drawstrings or elastic bands are provided to encircle the outer case and constrict the pillow along transverse lines displaced from opposite ends of the case. The placement of these lines is such relative to the character on the face of the pillow as to transform the two-dimensional character into a three-dimensional figure whose form is generally that of the character.
Claims7
A dual function pillow comprising:
- (A) an inner bag having a compressible filler therein;
- (B) a removable outer case for covering the bag, said case having a character drawn in two dimensions printed on its face;
- and
- (C) means engaging the outer case to constrict the pillow along transverse lines displaced from opposite ends of the case, the placement of the lines relative to the character being such as to contour the pillow to transform the two-dimensional character into a three-dimensional figure whose form is generally that of the character, the pillow being usable as a conventional head rest or for any other conventional purpose in its non-constricted state.
