Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to an inflatable pillow and, more particularly, to a multi-airbag inflatable pillow having both functions of comfort and supporting.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • An inflatable pillow can be either inflated or deflated by filling or discharging air from the pillow when used as a supporting cushion. It has the advantages of portability and ease of storage, and serves various functional effects depending on how it is used. An inflatable pillow can be used as a backrest to prevent problems of sore waist, humpback, and any discomfort caused by sitting in an extended time period. When an inflatable pillow is supporting under the calf, it not only relieves the pressure that the leg is putting on the calf but also prevents the fatigue that the leg may experience. An inflatable pillow, as it is well known, can certainly be used as a headrest for supporting the head or neck.
  • The level of the inflation of an inflatable pillow can be adjusted by an user in order to determine the pillow's softness or stiffness. When the pillow is inflated, its stiffness is increased. On the other hand, when the pillow is deflated, its softness is increased. The degree of softness of an inflatable pillow has a large influence to the resting or sleeping quality of the pillow user. An ideal supporting cushion requires a certain degree of softness in order to provide the expected comfort to the user and to bear any pressure that an user may otherwise needs to experience. The structure of a conventional inflatable pillow does not provide the objectives as described above.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, a prior art inflatable pillow 10 is composed of a single airbag 11. When the inflatable pillow 10 is inflated, air is filled in the airbag 11 and its air pressure cannot be locally adjusted. Consequently, the inflatable pillow 10 is either over inflated, resulting in less softness and discomfort, or less inflated causing insufficient supporting capability. Therefore, the prior art inflatable pillow may as well cause more fatigues and aches.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a multi-airbag inflatable pillow, in which multiple airbags are used to provide better comfort and support in order to achieve the purpose of relieving users stress and providing improved resting.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a multi-airbag inflatable pillow, which can be used as a supporting cushion to be used as a neck pillow, mattress, cushion, holding pillow and head pillows. Users can adjust the inflation levels of each airbag according to personal requirement in order to obtain the expected comfort and resting.
  • Yet another embodiment of the present invention is to provide a multi-airbag inflatable pillow, in which liquid is filled into one of these airbags for the purpose of heat absorption and radiation by the liquid.
  • In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multi-airbag inflatable pillow which comprises a plurality of airbags and each airbag comprises at least a valve. Each airbag is either inflated or deflated with air or any liquid of choice via the valve. The inflation level of a first airbag can be adjusted by the user to attain the most comfortable softness. A second airbag, other than the first airbag among the plurality of airbags, is used to supplement the insufficient support from the first airbag due to its less than enough inflation. The second airbag can be inflated enough to sustain where the user resting on it so that any pressure caused by the resting can be relieved.
  • The multi-airbag inflatable pillow of the present invention can be used as a neck pillow, mattress, cushion, holding pillow and sleeping pillow. In practical use, the inflation levels of the first and second airbags can be freely adjusted to reach the most comfortable and relaxation state for a user. A valve for filling liquid into or discharging from the second airbag can be added on the second airbag. Taking advantage of the heat dissipation by the liquid, the excessive heat of an user can be absorbed by the liquid.
