Abstract
Abstract A polygonal pillow tick having a polygonal batt of corresponding configuration enclosed therein and the pillow tick and batt cooperate to produce a three-way or four-way taper on the pillow. The pillow batt includes a plurality of layers of material arranged in superimposed layers with at least some of the layers terminating at a location spaced from a first of the edges of the tick so as to produce a taper adjacent the first edge of the pillow. Each of the layers of material forming the batt includes a plurality of plies of a web of compressible material with at least some of the plies terminating at a location spaced from a second edge adjacent the first edge to produce a taper adjacent the second edge. In one embodiment, the pillow has four sides and the third side has several of the plies of each layer spaced therefrom while all of the layers are located in a substantial common plane along the fourth edge to produce a pillow having a wedge-shaped configuration in one transverse dimension and an oval configuration in a second perpendicular dimension. In a second embodiment, the pillow has four edges and some of the plies of each layer are spaced from the third edge as well as the first edge while some of the layers are spaced from the fourth edge as well as the first edge to produce an oval cross-sectional configuration in two perpendicular directions transverse to the thickness of the pillow.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A pillow comprising a polygonal tick having a plurality of angularly related edges and a three-dimensional pillow batt having corresponding angularly related edges enclosed therein, said batt having a plurality of superimposed layers with at least some of said layers terminating at a location spaced from a first of said edges of said batt, at least some of said layers including a plurality of plies of a web of compressible material with at least some of said plies terminating at a location spaced from a second edge of said batt adjacent said first edge, said batt and tick cooperating to produce a pillow having a central portion tapering to a reduced thickness adjacent said first and second edges.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A pillow comprising a polygonal tick having a plurality of angularly related edges and a three-dimensional pillow batt having corresponding angularly related edges enclosed therein, said batt having a plurality of superimposed layers with at least some of said layers terminating at a location spaced from a first of said edges of said batt, at least some of said layers including a plurality of plies of a web of compressible material with at least some of said plies terminating at a location spaced from a second edge of said batt adjacent said first edge, said batt and tick cooperating to produce a pillow having a central portion tapering to a reduced thickness adjacent said first and second edges.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A pillow as defined in claim 1, in which said tick and batt are rectangular.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A pillow as defined in claim 1, in which at least some of said layers terminate at a location spaced from an edge of said batt which is spaced from said first edge to produce a tapered portion on said pillow adjacent said latter edge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A pillow as defined in claim 1, in which at least some of said plies terminate at a location spaced from a third edge of said tick which is spaced from said second edge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A pillow as defined in claim 4, in which said tick and batt have four edges and said layers terminate in a common plane along said fourth edge to produce a pillow having a substantially oval cross-sectional configuration in one plane and a substantially wedge shaped cross-sectional configuration in a second plane perpendicular to said one plane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
A pillow as defined in claim 4, in which said tick and batt have four edges and at least some of said layers terminate at a location spaced from said fourth edge to produce a pillow having a substantially oval cross-sectional configuration in two perpendicular planes through the thickness of said pillow.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
100 words
A batt for a pillow comprising a web folded to form a three-dimensional batt of polygonal configuration having a plurality of edges, said batt including a plurality of superimposed layers interconnected along fold lines with at least some of said layers terminating at a location spaced from one of said edges, each of said layers including a plurality of plies of said web with at least some of said plies terminating at a location spaced from an edge adjacent said one edge to produce a batt haviNg more plies and layers at the center than at said two adjacent edges.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
100 words
A batt for a pillow comprising a web folded to form a three-dimensional batt of polygonal configuration having a plurality of edges, said batt including a plurality of superimposed layers interconnected along fold lines with at least some of said layers terminating at a location spaced from one of said edges, each of said layers including a plurality of plies of said web with at least some of said plies terminating at a location spaced from an edge adjacent said one edge to produce a batt haviNg more plies and layers at the center than at said two adjacent edges.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
53 words
A batt as dfined in claim 7, in which all of said layers terminate in a substantially common plane adjacent a third of said edges so that the number of plies and layers of said batt adjacent said third edge is equal to the number of plies and layers at the center thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
57 words
A batt as defined in claim 8, in which said batt is rectangular and said layers extend between a first pair of opposed edges and said plies extend between a second pair of opposed edges and in which at least some of said plies terminate at a location spaced from both of said second pair of edges.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
55 words
A batt for a pillow as defined in claim 7, in which said polygonal configuration is rectangular with two pair of opposed edges and said layers terminate at locations spaced from the first pair of edges and in which the respective plies of each layer terminate at locations spaced from the second pair of edges.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
92 words
A pillow comprising a pillow tick having a peripheral edge and a pillow batt enclosed therein, said pillow comprising a plurality of superimposed layers, at least a portion of several of said layers being spaced from the peripheral edge, each of said layers including a plurality of plies of a web with at least some of said plies having a portion spaced from said edge, said plies and layers being arranged such that said pillow has a maximum dimension at the center thereof and tapers from said center to the peripheral edge.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
92 words
