Detailed description of the invention

With reference to accompanying drawing, it is shown that the medicated pillow embodying the present invention selects the first embodiment of device 100, and it is for selecting to be suitable to the medicated pillow 300 of client 500, and device 100 can be privately owned by client 500, or provides in point of sale or shop.Device 100 has main body 101, and it has the first quantifier 201 that the side preferably along main body 101 provides and the second quantifier 202 (for example, see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) that the opposite side along main body 101 provides.First quantifier 201 is for obtaining the first reading of the spacing at rear the cervical region 502 and back 501 indicating client 500.Second quantifier 202 is used for obtaining instruction client 500 head 503 and its either side (preferably the second reading of the spacing of the shoulder 504 on left side.Second quantifier 202 and the first quantifier 201 are by based on being obtained cooperation in the way of the second reading by the first reading that the first quantifier 201 is acquired.

Main body 101 is triangular shaped, wherein has triangle open mouth at center, in order to is prone to the personnel by obtaining reading and grasps.First quantifier 201 and the second quantifier 202 be respectively adjacent to/in close proximity to and be parallel to the lateral edges 102 and 103 of main body 101.

First quantifier 201 has the movable link 107 movable relative to indicator 108.Indicator 108 is arranged in the main body 101 of device 100.Preferably, described indicator 108 is a part for the lateral edges 102 of main body 101.Movable link 107 is slidably connected to main body 101.More specifically, movable member 107 is positioned over or is loaded in groove 106 and kept by relative a pair keeper 106A and 106B.When movable link 107 slides relative to main body 101, groove 106 and keeper 106A and 106B play the effect of the guide guiding movable link 107 motion.

In more detail, movable link 107 is a scale, and it has nine scales defining eight scale interval 107A to 107H.Scale interval 107A to 107F is respectively labeled as 5.0,4.5,4.0,3.5,3.0 and 2.5 inches, and scale interval 107G to 107H is respectively labeled as " excessive " and " too small ".

Referring to Fig. 8, when operation, main body 101 is placed near client 500, the back contact of lateral edges 102 and client, it is preferable that extending vertically, the spinal column 501 being more preferably parallel to client 500 extends.The lateral edges 103 of main body 101 is perpendicular to the spinal column 501 of client 500 and extends.The distal face of scale 107 is to rear cervical region 502, more specifically in the face of nape, and slides until it touches nape 502 towards nape.The indicator 108 position on scale 107 provides the first reading.Scale 107 is made translucent so that the personnel obtaining reading can the easily indicator 108 seen from above position on scale 107.Due to the part that indicator 108 is edge 102, therefore when operation, indicator 108 is parallel to the spinal column 501 of client 500 and is located thereon, the distance between the first reading instruction nape 502 and spinal column 501.

When indicator 108 fall scale interval 107A to 107F arbitrary on time, first reading instruction nape 502 and spinal column 501 between nearly how many inches.If it is indicated that device 108 is fallen on 107H or 107G of scale interval, then it indicates the distance between nape 502 and spinal column 501 excessive or too small and can not measure.In this case it is necessary to another medicated pillow selects device 100.Distance between nape 502 spinal column 501 is h (301).The height/thickness needed for distance reflection medicated pillow matrix 301 between nape 502 spinal column 501, when client lies low with back, medicated pillow matrix 301 contributes to supporting head and the cervical region (referring to Fig. 6) of client 500, it is often more important that head and cervical region are correctly aligned.This contributes to preventing cervical region and/or head (specifically preventing from supporting the muscle of cervical region and/or head) from sustaining damage, and avoids Wry Neck.

Second quantifier 202 has scale 203, and it has two or more, preferred six different scale 203A to 203F altogether, and each scale is corresponding to one of scale interval 107A to 107F of the first quantifier 201.Scale 203A is designated as 5.0 inches, and scale 203B is designated as 4.5 inches, and scale 203C is designated as 4.0 inches, and scale 203D is designated as 3.5 inches, and scale 203E is designated as 3.0 inches, and scale 203F is designated as 2.5 inches.

In each scale 203A to 203F, there are five scales and mark four regions or scale interval 204A to 204D.Four scale interval 204A, 204B, 204C and 204D is denoted as " 0 layer ", " 1 layer " " 2 layers " and " 3 layers ", required outside the height/thickness maintaining alignment of medicated pillow matrix 301 with its arbitrary shoulder 500 when client lies on one's side for the head and cervical region making client 500 supply height/thickness for indicating.

The summation supplying the height/thickness of height/thickness and medicated pillow matrix 301 constitutes the height/thickness of the medicated pillow 300 being suitable to client 500.In order to instead of using conventional unit such as centimetre, meter, inch, scale 203 uses the number of plies supplying bolster as unit.The height/thickness supplying bolster 302A, 302B and 302C is predetermined and is specified in advance.Preferably, supply bolster 302A, 302B and 302C and there is identical height/thickness.Second reading indicate in order to supply needed for obtaining height/thickness and therefore obtain medicated pillow 300 height/thickness needed for the number of plies.

Referring to Fig. 9, when operation, main body 101 is placed near client 500, and lateral edges 103 is directed at the outer end of the acromion 504 of client 500.From the temple 503 of client 500 downwards until imaginary line 505 drawn by scale 203.Lateral edges 102 and scale 203 extend across acromion 504 and imaginary line 503.One of selectivity scale 203A to 203F is carried out based on the first reading obtained from the first quantifier.Imaginary line 505 is fallen the scale interval 204A to 204D of selected scale 203A to 203F and is above obtained the second reading.Second reading instruction how many layers supply bolster 301A to 301C needs to be inserted under medicated pillow matrix 301.

Needed for bolster 301A to 301C is supplied in decision during the number of plies, the height/thickness of medicated pillow matrix 301 is taken into account by the second reading, and its reason is in that scale 203A to 203F calibrates based on the first reading.In other words,

It is the distance between the nape 502 of client 500 and spinal column 501 that the required height/thickness summation supplying bolster deducts h301, h301 equal to the distance between temple 503 and acromion 504.

Supplying bolster 301A is Π shape (referring to Figure 12 A), and supplies bolster 301B and 301C and each become two pads being respectively added on the left of medicated pillow matrix 301 and on right side.When client 500 lies on one's side with its either side shoulder and makes its head be positioned on the left side of medicated pillow 300 or right side, these are supplied bolster 301A to 301C and are designed to its head and provide and support.

Under normal circumstances, when client 500 lies low with its back, head should be positioned over the center of medicated pillow 300, and when client 500 stands up so that when lying on one's side with shoulder, the left and right sides towards medicated pillow 300 is moved by head.

When exist be inserted under medicated pillow matrix 301 supply bolster 301A to 301C and client 500 its head is positioned in medicated pillow matrix 301 in the heart time, the center of medicated pillow matrix 301 sinks to by supplying in bolster 301A to the 301C underlying space defined.Medicated pillow 300 height/thickness at its center reduces to adapt to the distance between nape 502 and spinal column 501.This contributes to head and cervical region being directed at when client 500 lies low with its back.When client 500 stands up and is positioned on the side of medicated pillow 300 by its head, head is subjected to medicated pillow matrix 301 and supplies the support of bolster 301A to 301C.Medicated pillow matrix 301 and supply the height/thickness of bolster 301A to 301C and adapt to the distance between temple 503 and acromion 504.When client 500 lies on one's side with its shoulder, this contributes to head and cervical region being directed at and preventing head from too much tilting, and head too much inclination can cause that musculi colli is tired after the long-time tensioning at a night.

In various embodiments, quantifier 201 and 202 may be disposed on the same side of device 100 or is arranged in any part of device 100.In another embodiment, each quantifier can provide as independent device.Additionally, the scale of each scale 107 and 203 can be that different colours is to be convenient to read.

Selecting device 100 ' to have additional function, namely its waist that can be used for measuring user or nape (i.e. the 3rd body part) be recessed from the scapula of user and buttocks or head and back (i.e. the first and second body parts) respectively or the distance that caves in.Measured distance is hereinafter referred to as recessed reading.In a preferred embodiment, the first quantifier 201 ' includes another group scale directly to obtain recessed reading and to have movable link 107 ', and it is movable relative to main body 101 ' so that operation obtains recessed reading.

It is represented by described increment 107A to 107H to cooperate with the second quantifier 202 ' by the recessed reading that the first quantifier 201 ' is acquired, or verify against independent ruler to determine length value, or only against that be printed on the first quantifier 201 ' or vicinity the first quantifier 201 ' one group of scale to directly read.If adopting this group scale, then this group scale formed unit be inch or centimetre scale.

As shown in figures 15 and 16, boundary edge on Part I 101A is positioned over or is held on the body part (one of buttocks of such as user) of user, and the boundary edge on Part II 101B is positioned on another body part (rear portion of such as scapula) of user.Boundary edge (is preferably and shows linear edge) back striding across user and places in cornerwise mode, such first and second part 101A and 101B are bearing on the user buttocks on the peak (i.e. one of two scapulas) on back and opposition side, and wherein the first quantifier 201 ' (along spinal column) points to the deepest depressed part of waist.Then (the first quantifier 201 ') movable link 107 extends relatively to move and to stop in the most position, deep of waist, thus obtains recessed reading, and its instruction waist is from recessed (the longest) distance of buttocks and facies posterior scapulae.

Above-mentioned recessed reading has optimum thickness and/or elastic batts for selection, in order to support the back of user best.Above-mentioned recessed reading is also used for selecting Lordosis support, in order to support the waist of the user being positioned on bed.This Lordosis support can take the form of pad or another medicated pillow, and has the shape of cylinder.

Generally, the waist of user is always recessed or depression for its dorsal aspect of scapula and buttocks.Different people waist differs from the distance that dorsal aspect of scapula and buttocks are recessed.Normal, when user back lies low and uses batts, its dorsal aspect of scapula and buttocks are the deepest to the degree of batts pressurization or compression, and the batts part corresponding with user waist is then relative less by compression or is only slightly pressurizeed.

Ideally, it is thus understood that the upper surface of batts ought to be close to the profile at user back, support completely to provide.If batts is too thin, then it is likely not to have enough materials and upwards fills, thus forming space between batts upper surface and user waist.Waist is the key factor selecting to support best the batts of user vertebra from the distance that dorsal aspect of scapula and buttocks are recessed.For seeking the batts selecting there is optimum thickness, it appears that must or at least be desirable to consider the distance that waist is recessed relative to dorsal aspect of scapula and buttocks.

When user is lain on one's side, batts is pressurizeed by the pelvis of its shoulder end and this side.As before, corresponding with user waist batts part is likely to not be depressed or only slightly depressed.Device 100 ' can be used for measuring the distance that waist is recessed from same one side of shoulder and pelvis or caves in.

Consider that aforementioned two recessed distances then can improve the accuracy selecting there is the batts of optimum thickness.

The elasticity of batts or hardness also play an important role to providing best for user vertebra and/or support completely.If batts hardness is too by force or too hard, even if there being adequate thickness, between batts upper surface and user waist, still can form space, because buttocks and dorsal aspect of scapula fail enough in depth to stress on batts to provide best support.Therefore, measure waist can assist to select not only have optimum thickness also to have the batts of optimal hardness relative to the recessed distance of scapula and buttocks.

Compared with the main body 101 of first embodiment, there is additional Part II 101B and also can be easy to obtain the first reading by following in main body 101 ', namely by being positioned on after user head by reference or for stability by its Part II 101B, obtain the first reading simultaneously.When using device 100 ' to read the recessed reading of user cervical region, boundary edge need be taked to be substantially vertically oriented, and cannot touch user head in some situation.

More specifically, as shown in Figure 17 to Figure 18 B, boundary edge on Part I 101A can be positioned over (first) position for user health, in such as user health back (as the situation of first embodiment), and the boundary edge on Part II 101B is positioned over another (second) position of user health, namely on user head rear portion.Boundary edge should be vertical orientated relative to the spinal column of user, wherein the first quantifier 201 and the deepest recessed position, and namely nape (i.e. the 3rd position) is equally high.Then the first quantifier 201 ' (or more specifically its movable member 107 ' being associated) is prominent to reach nape, thus obtaining recessed reading, it is corresponding to distance recessed after the user nape back from its health and head.

It is likewise possible to as above the same way described in first embodiment obtains the second reading based on the first reading.According to the two reading, then most suitable medicated pillow can be selected when user is lain on the back and/or lies on one's side to support the head of user best.

Due to the extra support to waist, sleeper can the mode of the most comfortable be supported, and so his/her spinal column can keep its natural curvature to experience to help obtaining best sleep when rest, and releive and/or avoid back pain.

Term " medicated pillow " uses with wide in range implication before this, it is equivalent to " supporter ", because this term is intended to commonly known as support member, namely support the medicated pillow of user head or with pad or the blanket form rolled for supporting other support member at other position any of waist or user health.

The present invention provides only by the mode of example, in without departing from claims when the scope of the invention, by those skilled in the art, above-described embodiment can carry out other modification various and/or change.
