(57) The invention concerns to the conception of an anatomical pillow manufactured in
polyurethane and covered by a white colour cotton tissue. Its surface is formed by wavy grooves ( 1 ) and its lateral, posterior and inferior
sides are smooth (2, 3, 4 ). In its surface, emerges a relief ( 5 ) that makes possible to its user, when in a
vertical position ( figure 1 ), to lay suitably and uniformly his lombar region and
in an horizontal position ( figure 2 ) to support suitably and uniformly the cervical
column zone. This pillow permits to avoid the discomfort caused by common pillows, mainly when
used by people who must lie in bed.

[0001]
- The invention concerns to a pillow conception and manufacture of which its vertical
and horizontal utilization seeks to offer a bigger comfort to its owner, through the
appropriate lombar and cervical regions support.
[0002] The common pillows which exist in the market till now, don't offer that comfort by
causing illness ( uncomfortableness ) and discomfort, mainly to people who have to
stay in bed what the invention proposes itself to avoid.
[0003] The anatomical support is manufactured in polyurethane, covered by a white cotton
tissue, presenting a wavy groove surface ( 1 ), but not regular because on it, it
emerges a relief ( 5 ), itself also formed by wavy grooves. Its lateral, posterior
and inferior sides are smooth.
- The common pillows which exist in the market till now, don't offer the comfort and
commodity that with the present invention it seeks to reach, mainly when used by people
who must lie in bed, by reducing satisfactorily, and even removing the illness and
discomfort caused by them.
- The figures joined, represent the realization of the present invention, through its
utilization. So:
The figure 1 represents the pillow utilization in its vertical position. In this position
that relief ( 5 ) in an ideal extension is placed in such a height that it makes possible
to support suitably the user lombar region, when this one is sat up in bed.
The figure 2 represents the pillow utilization in its horizontal position. In this
position, that relief ( 5 ), is placed in such a height that it makes possible to
support suitably the user cervical column area, when this one is lying down.
1. Anatomical support characterized by a pillow manufactured in polyurethane covered by a white cotton tissue, presenting
a surface formed by wavy grooves ( 1 ), in it emerging a relief ( 5 ) so that its
posterior ( 3 ) and inferior ( 4 ) lateral sides (2) are smooth.
2. Anatomical support in accordance to claim 1, characterized by permitting to support suitably with that relief ( 5 ), considering its vertical position
( figure 1 ) its user lombar region when in a sat position.
3. Anatomical suport in accordance to claim I characterized by, in its horizontal position ( figure 2 ) that relief ( 5 ) makes possible to support
suitably the user cervical column who in a lie down position makes to fall upon his
body weight on that area.
