ABSTRACT:
A head clip pillow is designed for being worn about the neck of a user to cover the user's ears in order to eliminate a substantial portion of ambient noise while providing support for the user's head. The pillow defines a substantially U-shaped configuration for being received about the back of the neck of a user. The central portion of the pillow defines a height to be received by the nape of the neck, while the terminal portions of the pillow define a height to cover the sides of the user's face, including the ears. A base member fabricated from a resilient material defines a contour substantially proportional to the overall contour of the pillow. A spring member is received about a portion of the base member. The spring member is configured to apply a biasing force about the neck of the user. Pressure applied to other areas of the user's head is accomplished indirectly through the base member. Surrounding the base member and spring is at least one layer of foam rubber or other cushioning type material. A cover is provided for maintaining the integrity of the internal pillow components. The cover is configured to be closely received about the entirety of the pillow to provide a smooth surface over the entire surface thereof. A removable cover is provided to protect the pillow and may be removed for cleaning or replacement thereof. An alternate embodiment includes a pocket defined on the interior of each side of the removable cover. The pocket has a convention closure device and is configured to receive a therapeutic treatment device such as a conventional hot/cold pack.
