Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pillow, and more particularly to a pillow whose height is adjustable to properly support a head and cervical vertebrae of a user of the pillow while the user lies down to have a sleep or take a rest.
  • a pillow provided with a plurality of pads for properly adjusting the height of the pillow based on the sitting height of a user of the pillow is well known.
  • Such a pillow is disclosed, for example, in Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-0099097 .
  • the aforesaid pillow comprises a pillow body and a proper number of pads disposed below the pillow body for adjusting the height of the pillow body.
  • the height of the pillow body increases as the number of the pillow height adjusting pads is increased, and that the height of the pillow body decreases as lower as the number of the pillow height adjusting pads is decreased.
  • This conventional pillow has inherent problems in that the height of the head contact section of the pillow body is changed depending upon the users head shape, especially the shape of the back of the head since the height adjusting pads support the pillow body as a whole, i.e., the height adjusting pads can not separately support the pillow body. Consequently, the conventional pillow fails to provide a comfortable sleep.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a pillow whose height is precisely and conveniently adjustable based on the sitting height and the head shape of a user of the pillow so that the user may have a comfortable sleep on the basis of his/her physical characteristics.
  • the above object is performed by a pillow according to claim 1.
  • the pillow according to the present invention basically comprises a pillow body bag 13, a cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and a head height adjusting bag 33.
  • the pillow body bag 13 has a stuffing materials filling space 12 in which the stuffing materials 11 are filled.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23 has a cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials filling space 22 in which the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21, for example a plurality of pads, are filled.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23 is attached to the pillow body bag 13 below a cervical vertebrae contact section 51 of the pillow body bag 13.
  • the head height adjusting bag 33 has a head height adjusting materials filling space 32 in which the head height adjusting materials 31, for example a plurality of pads, are filled.
  • the head height adjusting bag 33 is attached to the pillow body bag 13 below a head contact section 52 of the pillow body bag 13.
  • the stuffing materials 11, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21, and the head height adjusting materials 31 are filled in the stuffing materials filling space 12 defined in the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials filling space 22 defined in the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting materials filling space 32 defined in the head height adjusting bag 33, respectively.
  • each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 is folded and fitted between the stuffing materials 11 and the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and between the stuffing materials 11 and the head height adjusting materials 31, as shown in Fig. 3b .
  • the stuffing materials 11 include cotton, grain, minerals, wood, synthetic resin, or other suitable pillow materials
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and/or the head height adjusting materials 31 are formed in the shape of flat pads, which are preferably made of compressed cotton, although the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and/or the head height adjusting materials 31 may include cotton, grain, minerals, wood, synthetic resin, or other suitable pillow materials like the stuffing materials 11.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and/or the head height adjusting materials 31 may be formed in the shape of pipes, which are made of synthetic resin having a diameter of 8 mm, for example, as shown in Fig. 2b .
  • the height of a pillow increases 0.5 mm for each cm of a user's height.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and the head height adjusting materials 31 formed in the shape of pipes are used, therefore, the height of the pillow body 1 can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of the pipes.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and/or the head height adjusting materials 31 may be realized by various different pipes made of suitable materials other than the aforesaid synthetic resin.
  • the pipes may have various different sections, such as a circular section, a square section, a pentagonal section, a hexagonal section, and an octagonal section.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 and the head height adjusting materials 31 may be different from each other in shape.
  • the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 may be formed in the shape of pipes when the head height adjusting materials 31 are formed in the shape of pads.
  • the heights of the cervical vertebrae contact section 51 and the head contact section 52 of the pillow body bag 13 can be separately adjusted depending upon the amounts of the stuffing materials 11, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21, and the head height adjusting materials 31.
  • the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 may be made of commonly available cloths.
  • each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 is made of an elastic cloth, and the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 are combined with one another by sewed lines 60 formed by sewing using a sewing machine.
  • a closing member 100 such as a zipper or a slide fastener, is attached to an inlet of each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33, as shown in the drawings, so that the inlet of each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 can be easily closed by the closing member 100.
  • a Velcro fastener may be attached to the inlet of each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 so that the inlet of each of the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33 can be easily closed by the Velcro fastener with sufficient elasticity depending upon the amounts of the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 filled in the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23 and the head height adjusting materials 31 filled in the head height adjusting bag 33 when the stuffing materials 11, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21, and the head height adjusting materials 31 are filled in the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting bag 33, respectively.
  • the pillow according to the present invention may be further conveniently used by the provision of written instructions for use in which the heights and the sitting heights of users, and standard weights based on the heights of the users are indicated by sex and age on the basis of a ratio of a front-to-back head length to a side-to-side head width of each of the users depending upon the amounts of the stuffing materials 11 filled in the pillow body bag 13, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials 21 filled in the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag 23, and the head height adjusting materials 31 filled in the head height adjusting bag 33.
  • the present invention provides a pillow comprising a pillow body bag filled with stuffing materials, a cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag attached to the pillow body bag below a cervical vertebrae contact section of the pillow body bag, the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag being filled with cervical vertebrae height adjusting materials, and a head height adjusting bag attached to the pillow body bag below a head contact section of the pillow body.bag, the head height adjusting bag being adjacent to the cervical vertebrae height adjusting bag, the head height adjusting bag being filled with head height adjusting materials, whereby the height of the pillow can be precisely and conveniently adjusted on the basis of the physical characteristics of a user of the pillow so that the user may have a comfortable sleep.
