Description

The head pad different with the neck segment thickness is at the medicated pillow of cervical region
According to estimates, nearly 30,000,000 Americans suffer the hardship of insomnia.Insomnia usually has significant impact to daily life, and it shows, and working is late, work quality descends, cause industrial injury, the marital relations anxiety, rely on medicine, and various mental disorder.This influence to american commerce is very big, and is annual according to estimates up to 10,000,000,000 dollars.
Respiratory arrest when a kind of more common insomnia is sleep.This misery is that respiratory tract is intermittently closed to cause breathing and is obstructed.Unnecessary expectorant, pharynx muscle loosen or head has posture on the bad anatomy, to a certain extent, above-mentioned phenomenon is quite obvious.When respiratory tract is intercepted fully, the people will cease breathing, from the several seconds to several branches, to such an extent as to when he wakes up, cause potential sleep procedure temporarily to be put upside down by waking up in being sunk into sleep, breathe heavily several implications after, be sunk into sleep again, this circulation may repeat for several times every night.
When breathing under the situation about not being obstructed fully, some air passes through, this unpleasant sound of the sound of snoring that Here it is known to everybody, and this is because due to the loosening expectorant film vibrations.Quality perhaps is not subjected to much influences though the people of snoring sleeps, and the people of contiguous sleep can be influenced by it.Furthermore, the people of many snoring demonstrates bad sleep quality.
People want to eliminate or alleviate by different medicated pillow designs the respiratory arrest or the snoring in when sleep.It is in conjunction with a kind of characteristic medicated pillow that a kind of successful solution is arranged, and encourages the people to stretch cervical region, and this can increase the position, transverse section at respiratory tract place.Adopt on this anatomy reasonably posture at different United States Patent (USP)s such as No.4,850,670, No.5,014,377 and No.5,123,132 all mention.Manyly be used for eliminating or to alleviate the medicated pillow design of sleep apnea or snoring unsatisfactory, force user a kind of posture of sleeping, and the posture of another kind of opposition not, the example of this design comprises United States Patent (USP) 4,536,905 and 4,748,702.Other also restricted user actions in bed, the example of this design comprises United States Patent (USP) 4,118,813 and 4,349,925.The people is also arranged for the various types of medicated pillows of the neck portion design that supports shaping, comprise United States Patent (USP) 3,574,397,4,424,599,4,494,261,4,550,451,5,016,303 and 5,038,432.
The respiratory arrest when the objective of the invention is to provide a kind of medicated pillow of novelty to alleviate sleep or the frequency of snoring are so as to improving user and contiguous people's sleep quality in bed.
Another object of the present invention is that a kind of novel medicated pillow will be provided, the respiratory arrest when alleviating sleep or the frequency of snoring, but do not cause the uncomfortable of health or restriction user to stir body.
Further aim of the present invention is the medicated pillow that a kind of novelty will be provided, and when user was lain on the back, the position, respiratory tract transverse section of throat increased to maximum, and allows that user can make the side of head side near medicated pillow, and stands up lateral position.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of novel medicated pillow, lying on the back and lateral position, and stands up in the action in these postures, the vertebra of the cervical region of user and chest is placed on the straight line of co-extension substantially, to reduce neck fatigue.
Novel medicated pillow of the present invention comprises: a neck when lying on the back in the middle of being positioned at by pasting part, have projection and curved upper surface, width is equivalent to the user cervical region by the length of hindbrain bottom bottom the neck; The neck of the left and right sides of a pair of projection is by pasting part, and the upper surface projection is also crooked; The upper surface of changeover portion band bending connects the neck of mid portion and left side projection by pasting part; And a pair of smooth haply head rest pastes part, and each all connects separately side direction neck by the subsides part.Weight when neck bears user and lies on the back by the mid portion highest point that pastes and transition segmental arc, people's head vertebra is supported by its natural radian, head and neck can stretch (towards mattress) fully backward, and this posture makes the position, respiratory tract transverse section of user throat reach maximum.The height of the upper surface of the changeover portion of pressurized is not from being equivalent to the not height of the mid portion upper surface of pressurized at least, is equivalent to the height of the lateral parts upper surface of pressurized not and do not wait to maximum.The distance of medicated pillow center line and changeover portion and the air line distance that the side direction that links to each other separately partly is connected are less than or equal to medicated pillow center line and user when lying on the back shoulder lateral margin.The height of cervical spine on mattress when in addition, the side direction neck of pressurized does not almost equal user employing side by formula or lateral position by pasting part.When these structural restrictions guarantee that user is translated into lateral position by lying on the back, can lean against one of side direction head rest subsides part to his/her side, and his/her head vertebra is stood up in the action whole, with the chest vertebral location roughly on the straight line of co-extension.
Everybody will recognize that the present invention can have other different embodiment, comprise a kind of combination part thin, that head rest pastes during the lying on the back of general planar.These embodiment only can revise otherwise disengaging the present invention is spiritual in different occasions.Similarly, these accompanying drawings and explanation all are illustrative, rather than restrictive.

Fig. 4 represents the profile of pillow structure of the present invention along Fig. 1 hatching 4-4;
Fig. 5 represents that of the present invention other can select the perspective view of pillow structure for use.
Hereinafter will illustrate and explain most preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing.
At first mention the perspective view of Fig. 1, wherein label 10 is meant that medicated pillow has a structure that roughly takes the shape of the letter U, and different parts, part have differing heights and radian.Make preferably soft, the compressible material of material of medicated pillow, its elasticity is enough to the medicated pillow energy reinstatement after the head of user or neck were pressed.Material such as (but being not limited to) any polyurethane (polyurethane) or polyolefin (polyolefin) foam plastics, the preferably foam plastics of many pores that are suitable for.For 4 to 6 inches thick foam plasticss, at stressed about 10 pounds, the degree that compression moves down approximately is 0.5 to 2.0 inch.As for the ILD elasticity number, its scope is 3 to 30ILD, preferably approximately between 10 to 20ILD, ILD is elasticity or solid scaled measurement unit, usually be used in the medicated pillow manufacturing.For example, at United States Patent (USP) 5,128,132, on June 23rd, 1992 promulgation (Linda H.Dixon) wherein ILD value is 10 to be meant that 10 pounds weight is pressed in 4 inches thick Foam Plastic Surface when moving, the foam plastics major parameter relevant with compression degree is density, and foam plastics can any density create.Therefore, the emphasis of present invention is to select a kind of density that the different compression degrees of being wanted can be provided.Foam plastics needs an appropriate density to guarantee that user keeps the posture on the anatomy, in the hope of improving sleep quality.The foam plastics of many pores is more satisfactory, the original shape because they can repeatedly rebound.
Medicated pillow 10 has the neck of left and right sides of projection by pasting part: 12 and 14, and they all each have a projection and curved upper surface: 16 and 18.For growing up user, neck by subsides part 12 and 14 not the vertical height 24 during pressurized be preferably 4 to 8 inches, or approximate the shoulder breadth of user greatly.The radian of curved upper surface (16 and 18) and user are by the side radian complementation of shoulder top to hindbrain, and the range of curvature radius of its radian of curved upper surface (16 and 18) is preferably about 2 to 4 inches.Just stretching out haply by the side direction neck again by the subsides part, the head rest of smooth left and right sides pastes part (20 and 22), in general, 20 and 22 parts can not waited to the vertical height of lower position by the vertical height of pasting part (12 and 14) from being about neck by vertical height that figure cathetus 21 marked, preferably head rest paste partly (20 and 22) not the vertical height during pressurized be about 3 to 7 inches.According to the head of user, the size of neck and shoulder, and the mattress of the compressibility of medicated pillow, beneath body support, head and neck can be done some changes by subsides vertical height partly.
As shown in Figure 4, when user neck side by being attached to curved surface (16 or 18), when part (20 is pasted by being attached to a pair of edgewise head rest in user head side, 22) time, the compression-side that is marked by straight line 24a to neck by pasting part, and the compression-side that is marked by straight line 21a pastes the vertical height of part to head rest, should make the cervical spine 29 of user and chest vertebra 27 remain on roughly on " straight line of co-extension ".Human Spine has its natural radian at cervical region and chest.In U.S. Patent No. 4,494,261 narrations, " the physiological posture that provides the body gesture of natural curve to be called as." straight line of co-extension " is interpreted as and " physiological " posture synonym.With regard to operation, the straight line of co-extension is to be present in by the straight line in the imagination of T1 and C7 vertebrae aperture to extend to C1 vertebrae aperture always.Maintain this to the vertebra of a normal adult human substantially on the straight line of co-extension, typical compression-side approximately is 3 to 6 inches to neck by pasting the part vertical height, yet typical compression-side approximately is 2 to 5 inches to head rest subsides part vertical height.Importantly, compression-side should be chosen by pasting the part vertical height to head rest subsides part and neck, to guarantee that cervical region and chest vertebra are roughly on the straight line of co-extension.Therefore, pressurized vertical height 24a should select quite the distance less than the about 1 inch place of user shoulder breadth, and shoulder breadth is the distance from user shoulder lateral margin to the neck lateral margin.Similarly, when cervical spine 29 and chest vertebra 27 are roughly on the straight line in co-extension, pressurized vertical height 21a should select quite less than user head lateral margin to the about 1 inch place of height of takeing on lateral margin apart from (see figure 4).
Neck is by pasting part 26 between left and right side part 12 and 14 during intermediary lying on the back, and it is connected to lateral parts by left and right sides changeover portion neck by pasting part (28 and 30).As seen from Figure 1,32 edge forms a U-shaped to medicated pillow 10 along the center, and center 32 is preferably opened wide, and directly presses close to the supporting surface of a picture mattress when making the back brain of user lie on the back.As shown in Figure 5, best, the extension of a smooth medicated pillow that minimum thickness (that is about 1 inch or still less) arranged or when lying on the back head rest paste part 34, between left and right side part 12,14 and mid portion 26.Head rest subsides part 34 is also made by foam plastics when lying on the back, and its density is than other part height, in order to help to keep the rigidity of medicated pillow in use.In addition, the number of people of lying on the back can make medicated pillow 10 be rectangle by pasting part 34, so that the easier upper shield medicated pillow 10 of pillowcase.
Mid portion 26 has the natural radian of a projection and curved upper surface 36 person's of being used necks.Not during pressurized its highly about 1.5 to 4 inches of mid portions 26, its height (shown in straight line 36a) about 1 to 3 inch during pressurized, when such pressurized height can make user neck back contact 32 zones and be back floating position by sticking surface 36 and hindbrain, head and neck can fully stretch.People have found that this posture belongs to the comfort standard of user, and make the respiratory tract of user throat be maximum aperture.Can the recline flexure plane of user neck of 36 curved surfaces on this is complementary shape.The radian radius of curvature of last bent face 36 is preferably about 1 to 4 inch.
Changeover portion 28 and 30 makes mid portion 26 belows be cumulative height to the side direction neck of projection by pasting part 12 and 14.The function of changeover portion mainly is not to use the person to keep successive neck support when back floating position and lateral position stand up, and keeps cervical region and chest vertebra roughly on the straight line of co-extension.
Guarantee user cervical region and chest vertebra when lying on the back and during lateral position, and when standing up with these two kinds of postures roughly on the straight line of co-extension, to guarantee that also position, user respiratory tract transverse section reaches maximum, guarantee the physical dimension of some medicated pillow.At first, as mentioned above, the side head rest of pressurized pastes part and neck partly will have a suitable vertical height by subsides, with guarantee user when lying on one's side roughly on the straight line of co-extension.The second, the mid portion of pressurized needs a suitable vertical height, so that its position, respiratory tract transverse section, throat height place reaches maximum when making user have comfort and user to lie on the back.At last, in the time of guaranteeing that user is got back to lateral position, the side neck abuts in the side neck by pasting part, and user stands up radius must be equal to or slightly greater than the distance of medicated pillow midline to changeover portion and junction, side.User stands up radius definition herein and is meant the distance of user shoulder lateral margin to the user center line, generally speaking, when lying on the back, the above-mentioned position of user all can tend to the center, that is to say that the chest vertebra of user and cervical spine will be in same plane with the medicated pillow center line.As can be seen from Figure 2, neck was by pasting the length of part 26 when straight line " a " representative was lain on the back, and preferably neck is by pasting the width that partial-length 26 is approximately the user neck.Straight line " b " represents medicated pillow center line 38 to changeover portion 28,30 and the side neck separately distance by the junction 40 of subsides part 12,14.Radius is stood up in straight line " c " representative.It is also noted that changeover portion the 28, the 30th, be used for supporting the user neck and keep in the action on cervical region and chest vertebra the straight line lying on the back and lie on one's side to stand up in co-extension roughly.
More than explanation is, the preferred embodiment of the invention, but we understand, and the present invention is expressed at this to be its protection domain, it can do to change in the scope of inventive concept or correction.
