Aromatherapy pillow

Abstract

An aromatherapy system is created including a scent cartridge, puck, and pillow. A scent cartridge may be a disposable cartridge for diffusing scented fluid, such as essential oils, through a pillow. A scent cartridge may be orientated within a puck, such that the puck may support the scent cartridge within a pillow while preventing the scent cartridge from directly contacting fill of the pillow.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An aromatherapy system, comprising:
 a cartridge structure comprising a permeable outer shell encompassing an absorbent inner shell, the permeable outer shell and the absorbent inner shell configured to diffuse a scented fluid from an interior portion of the absorbent inner shell to a space defined by a space outside of the permeable outer shell, the scented fluid configured to release from a container when crushed, the container encompassed by the absorbent inner shell;   a puck structure configured to, when compressed, allow the container to be crushed and comprising a disk body including a plurality of apertures, wherein at least a first aperture is configured to accept the cartridge structure such that the cartridge structure is entirely housed within the disk body, wherein at least a second aperture is configured to allow the scented fluid to diffuse from the cartridge structure to a cover of the disk body, and wherein the puck structure is formed from silicone, the puck has a length between approximately 45 mm and approximately 55 mm, a width between approximately 50 mm and approximately 60 mm, and a thickness between approximately 5 mm and approximately 13 mm; and   a pillow structure comprising:
 a case encompassing a plurality of foam fill, the plurality of foam fill in an interior portion of the case; and 
 a pocket that extends into an interior space defined by the case such that at least some of the foam fill is between an outer surface of the case and the puck structure. 
   
     
     
         2 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 1 , wherein the scented fluid comprises essential oils associated with lavender. 
     
     
         3 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 1 , wherein the puck structure further comprises a plurality of sidewalls configured to approximate boundaries of the cartridge structure. 
     
     
         4 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the permeable outer shell further comprises a tab extending beyond the container; and   the puck structure further comprises a notch configured to accept the tab.   
     
     
         5 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of a front of the disk body tapers to meet an edge of a back of the disk body. 
     
     
         6 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 1 , wherein the pillow structure further comprises a re-sealable aperture along a seam of the pillow structure, the re-sealable aperture configured to allow adjustment to mass of the plurality of foam fill. 
     
     
         7 . An aromatherapy system, comprising:
 a container structure configured to store fluid and, when the container structure is constricted, release the fluid;   a pillow structure configured to store the container structure by a pocket, the pocket configured to extend to an interior space of the pillow structure such that a contour of an exterior space of the pillow structure is uninterrupted when the container is stored in the pocket; and   a puck structure configured to, when compressed, allow the container structure to be crushed, the puck structure comprising a disk body including a plurality of apertures,
 wherein the puck structure is formed from silicone, the puck has a length between approximately 45 mm and approximately 55 mm, a width between approximately 50 mm and approximately 60 mm, and a thickness between approximately 5 mm and approximately 13 mm. 
   
     
     
         8 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 7 , wherein the fluid comprises essential oils. 
     
     
         9 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 7 , wherein at least a first aperture is configured to accept the container structure such that the container structure is entirely housed within the disk body, and wherein at least a second aperture is configured to allow the fluid to diffuse from the container structure to a surface of the disk body. 
     
     
         10 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 9 , wherein the puck structure further comprises a plurality of sidewalls configured to approximate dimensions of the container structure. 
     
     
         11 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 9 , wherein the pillow structure is further configured to store the puck structure. 
     
     
         12 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 11 , wherein an edge of a front of the disk body tapers to meet an edge of a back of the disk body. 
     
     
         13 . The aromatherapy system of  claim 7 , wherein the pillow structure further comprises a re-sealable aperture along a seam of the pillow structure, the re-sealable aperture configured to allow adjustment to mass of a plurality of foam fill stored within the pillow structure.
