DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pillow book. Specifically, the present invention relates to a pillow book formed by two pillows whose interior sides are illustrated by texts and drawings with pleasant and decorative motifs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the pillow book includes a first pillow and second pillow. The first and second pillows are secured along their side edges by a securing device thereby permitting the first and second pillows to be folded together into a closed position. The first and second pillows each have an interior side including illustrations formed thereon. The securing device includes a fabric ribbon or a zipper with separator. In addition, the pillow book may include a plurality of fabric leaves having illustrations thereon secured to the fabric ribbon.
Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment the first pillow has a thickness greater than the thickness of the second pillow and when the first pillow is folded onto the second pillow, the pillow book has a total thickness approximately equivalent to the sum of the thickness of the first and second pillows. Therefore, the pillow book has adjustable values of thickness thereby permitting the pillow book to comfortably accommodate a user's head in a variety of resting positions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring initially to FIG. 1, a pillow book 20 of the present invention is shown. Pillow book 20 is a dual pillow structure formed by two pillows 1, 2 joined together along one of their sides, by a fabric ribbon 3. In the preferred embodiment, fabric ribbon 3 is sewn to the interior edges of pillows 1, 2 as shown in FIG. 3. Alternatively, pillows 1, 2 may be joined together by a zipper with separator, or by other conventional means. Pillows 1, 2 are so joined such that upon folding the two pillows they close in a similar way to a book. Pillows 1, 2 may also include text and drawings 7, such as a map and alphabet, formed on the interior sides 4 of the two pillows 1, 2.
Referring additionally to FIG. 2, pillow book 20 may also include several fabric leaves 8 illustrated with texts and drawings with decorative and pleasant motifs 13. The fabric leaves 8 may be secured to pillows 1, 2 by fabric ribbon 3 which also secures pillows 1, 2 together.
In order to secure pillow book 20 in the closed position, pillow book 20 may further include laces of fabric 10 sewn on the external ends of the interior sides 4 of the pillows 1, 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the laces 10 may be tied together 12 when the pillow book is in the closed position thereby securing pillow book 20 in the closed position. Additionally, strips of VELCRO 5 may be secured to the exterior edges of pillows 1, 2 such that when pillow book 20 is closed, the VELCRO strips 5 will engage each other thereby maintaining pillow book 20 in the closed position.
In the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, pillow 1 has a thickness greater than pillow 2. Pillow 1 preferably has thickness of 7 cm, and pillow 2 preferably has a thickness of 5 cm. When pillow book 20 is in the closed position a pillow having a 12 cm thickness is formed. Accordingly, pillow book 20 may be configured to produce three different values of thickness. Each pillow thickness is preferably chosen to comfortably accommodate an individual in the three following positions of sleeping or resting, when they are lying:
Pillow book 20 has been developed to be used in each of these three positions.
Referring to FIG. 4, the filling of pillows 1, 2 is composed of a f
