Abstract
A recreation pillow includes a resilient foam rubber pillow having an elliptical shape. A slit is formed in the pillow, and the slit extends inwardly from the surface. The slit defines opposed walls that are normally juxtaposed, with the pillow being deformable such that the walls are distanced from each other and small items such as room keys can be placed between the walls. When the pillow is released, the items are held between the walls. The pillow is enclosed in a waterproof sleeve, and is ideal for beach use for both lying on and for carrying small items. Alternatively, the pillow can be hollow and can be made of relatively hard plastic or rubber.
Claims6
A portable head rest comprising:
- a pillow defining opposed elliptical ends and at least one surface therebetween, the pillow being made of a piece of resilient material and being deformable, the pillow having a central chamber and a passageway extending from the surface of the pillow into the chamber, wherein the passageway defines opposed walls, and the pillow is deformable to an open configuration, wherein the walls are distanced from each other to expose the chamber, and wherein the pillow is materially biased to a closed configuration wherein the opposed walls are closely juxtaposed to each other;
- and
- a sleeve for holding the pillow and configured for constraining the pillow in a curved configuration, the sleeve including an outer sleeve formed with an opening juxtaposed with one of the ends for receiving the pillow therethrough and for accessing the central chamber, a sleeve end for selectively covering the opening, and a zipper for selectively engaging the sleeve end with the sleeve.
A portable head rest, comprising:
- a deformable pillow defining opposed ends and a curved resting surface extending therebetween, the pillow defining a semi-major axis, the pillow being formed from a unitary material formed with a passageway extending radially inwardly from the resting surface, wherein the passageway defines opposed walls, and the pillow is deformable to an open configuration, wherein the walls are distanced from each other to expose a storage chamber, and wherein the pillow is materially biased to a closed configuration wherein the opposed walls are closely juxtaposed to each other;
- and
- an outer sleeve formed with an opening substantially the length of the sleeve for receiving the pillow therethrough, the outer sleeve being formed with an opening juxtaposed with one of the ends for receiving the pillow therethrough and for accessing the central chamber, a sleeve end for covering the opening, and a closure for selectively engaging the sleeve end with the sleeve.
A portable device for carrying items and for supporting a supine person's neck, comprising:
- a resilient pillow made of a piece of material;
- a sleeve for holding the pillow in a curved configuration such that the pillow can define a central chamber for holding items, the sleeve being formed with an opening for receiving the pillow therethrough, the pillow having a passageway defining opposed walls, the passageway extending at least part way between the ends of the pillow, wherein the pillow is deformable to an open configuration, wherein the walls are distanced from each other to expose a chamber, and wherein the pillow is materially biased to a closed configuration wherein the opposed walls are closely juxtaposed to each other, the sleeve including and outer sleeve formed with an opening juxtaposed with one of the ends for receiving the pillow therethrough and for accessing the central chamber, a sleeve end for covering the opening, and a closure for selectively engaging the sleeve end with the sleeve.
