place them in a common cover. I do not
claim such a construction, as in my pillow
the rolls are contained within the pillow
cover and are partially surrounded by the
5 filling for the body of the pillow, whereby
abrupt edges in the pillow are avoided, and
when a plurality of rolls is employed they
are separated from each other by the filling
of the body, and lie at opposite edges of the
10 pillow.
Other modifications may be made within
the limits of the appended claims, as for
instance, one of the rolls might be omitted.
I claim as my invention
15 1. In a pillow, a cover, pockets on the in-
side of said cover at the edges of said pillow,
and a filling of solid, compressible material
for said cover and pockets, the filling mate-
rial in said pockets being packed tighter
20 than the mass of material in said cover,
said pockets being attached to said cover
at its edge portions only, whereby the
filling material of said cover may overlap
the sides of said pockets so that the pillow
25 may gradually increase in softness from its
edges toward its middle.
2. In a pillow, a cover, pockets on the in-
side of said cover at the edges of said pillow,
and a filling of solid, compressible material
30 for said cover and pockets, the filling mate-
rial in said pockets being packed tighter
than the mass of material in said cover, said
cover and pockets being formed of two su-
perposed layers of material, marginal por-
35 tions of which are stitched together to formsaid pockets, whereby said pockets are con-
nected to said cover at the edge portions
thereof, said connection being the only point
of connection between said cover and pock-
ets, whereby the filling material of said 40
cover may over-lap the sides of said pockets
so that the pillow may gradually increase in
softness over said pockets and toward its
middle.
3. In a pillow, a cover, pockets on the in- 45
side of said cover at the edges of said pil-
low, and a filling of solid, compressible ma-
terial for said cover and pockets, the filling
material in said pockets being packed
tighter than the mass of material in said 50
cover, said cover and pockets being formed
of a single piece of material folded upon
itself, marginal portions of which are
stitched together to form said pockets,
whereby said pockets are connected to said 55
cover at the edge portions thereof, said con-
nection being the only point of connection
between said cover and pockets, whereby the
filling material of said cover may over-lap
the sides of said pockets so that the pillow 60
may gradually increase in softness over said
pockets and toward its middle.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
signed my name in the presence of two sub-
scribing witnesses.
