Abstract
A device for maintaining the body, for use as a pillow, includes at least one surface (1) for supporting the head and a central clearance (2) defining two side surfaces (3a, 3b) extending the support surface. The pillow has a length (L) not less than the body measurements of an adult user from the lower ribs to the ear, thereby adjusting the pillow support surface on the body in all positions of use.
Claims20
Device for supporting the body, usable as a pillow, comprising:
- at least one support surface (1) for supporting the head;
- and
- a central recess (2) along a longitudinal edge of the support surface defining two lateral surfaces (3a, 3b) in prolongation of the support surface (1), wherein,
- a length (L) of the support surface is between 65 and 90 cm corresponding to the mean measurement of adult individuals from the lower ribs to the ear, and
- the central recess (2) has a width (a) of the order of 30 to 37 cm and a curvilinear profile whose curvature is accentuated adjacent the two ends of said central recess.

An anatomical pillow, comprising:
- a pillow body with a head supporting surface, the body having a length between 65 and 90 cm, a maximum width, a minimum width, and a non-constant thickness;
- and
- a central recess located intermediate two lateral edges (3a, 3b) along a lengthwise edge of the body, wherein,
- in a body profile transverse the length of the body, the thickness of the body is symmetric about a horizontal line and has a maximum thickness in a central portion of the profile and decreases progressively toward the lateral edges,
- the recess has a width, along the length of the body, between 30 and 37 cm,
- the recess has a curvilinear profile merging into the lateral edges through two curvilinear end parts that accentuated each profile end,
- the minimum width of the body is found at the recess and is of the order of 30 cm,
- the maximum width of the body is between 38 and 60 cm, and
- the maximum thickness is between 8 and 15 cm.
