Abstract

Disclosed is a cushion. The cushion comprises a sponge having a predetermined length and a circular cylinder-shaped configuration; a plurality of vibrating motors embedded in the sponge; an inner envelope opened at one end thereof, for allowing the sponge to be inserted therein, with a predetermined space defined therebetween; cushioning segments filled into the space defined between the sponge and the inner envelope; a frame made of plastic material and fitted into the opened one end of the inner envelope to be brought at one end thereof into contact with the sponge, the frame having a cylindrical configuration; a rechargeable battery positioned in the frame and connected through electric wires to the vibrating motors; a frame cover fastened to the frame to close the other end of the frame; an aromatic case fixed to an inner surface of the frame cover to be positioned in the frame and receive therein an aromatic; an aromatic case cover attached to the frame cover and defined with a plurality of slots which are opened and closed by a plurality of sliding plates, respectively, so that an amount of the aromatic which is given out through the slots can be adjusted; and an outer envelope made of cloth and capable of being opened and closed at one end thereof, for enclosing the resultant combination.

Claims

1. A cushion comprising:

a sponge having a predetermined length and a circular cylinder-shaped configuration;

a plurality of vibrating motors embedded in the sponge;

an inner envelope opened at one end thereof, for allowing the sponge to be inserted therein, with a predetermined space defined therebetween;

cushioning segments filled into the space defined between the sponge and the inner envelope;

a frame made of plastic material and fitted into the opened one end of the inner envelope to be brought at one end thereof into contact with the sponge, the frame having a cylindrical configuration;

a rechargeable battery positioned in the frame and connected through electric wires to the vibrating motors;

a frame cover fastened to the frame to close the other end of the frame;

an aromatic case fixed to an inner surface of the frame cover to be positioned in the frame and receive therein an aromatic;

an aromatic case cover attached to the frame cover and defined with a plurality of slots which are opened and closed by a plurality of sliding plates, respectively, so that an amount of the aromatic which is given out through the slots can be adjusted; and

an outer envelope made of cloth and capable of being opened and closed at one end thereof, for enclosing the resultant combination.

2. The cushion as set forth in claim 1, wherein a control section having a plurality of buttons for controlling operations of the vibrating motors is installed on the frame cover.

3. The cushion as set forth in claim 1, wherein the inner envelope comprises an inner mesh and an outer cloth which is coated with ceramic powder and stitched with the inner mesh.

4. The cushion as set forth in claim 1, wherein each cushioning segment is made of plastic material and has a cylindrical configuration.

5. The cushion as set forth in claim 2, wherein the control section comprises a power button, a power lamp for showing a power input state, an LCD charge indicator for indicating a charged amount of the rechargeable battery, a DC jack to be directly connected to a power source, a high speed button and a low speed button for changing a rotational speed of the vibrating motors, and a manual button for individually driving the vibrating motors each time being pressed.

6. The cushion as set forth in claim 1, wherein the outer envelope is made of hemp cloth, ramie fabric, or heat insulating material.
