Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein neuartiges Kopfkissen für einen gesunden Schlaf, welches aus einem im Wesentlichen u-förmig ausgebildeten, elastischen Formteil besteht, welches mit einer geschlossenen Rückpartie, zwei nach vorne ausgerichteten Seitenteilen und zwischen diesen Seitenteilen mit einer sich von der Frontpartie nach hinten erstreckenden spaltförmigen Ausnehmung ausgebildet ist.The present invention relates to a novel pillow for a sound sleep, which consists of a substantially U-shaped, elastic molded part, which with a closed back, two forward-facing side panels and between these side panels with a rearwardly extending from the front slit-shaped recess is formed.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Orthopädische Kissen, welche eine stabile Seitenlage und eine damit einhergehende Entlastung des Rückens und Nackens während des Schlafens bewirken, sind aus dem Stand der Technik unlängst bekannt. In der Regel sind diese Kissen aus einem in seiner Querrichtung, also von vorne nach hinten oder umgekehrt, leicht gewölbten und mit unterschiedlich hohen Abstützhöhen und teilweise unterschiedlich starken Abstützhärten ausgebildeten Formteil gebildet.Orthopedic pillows, which cause a stable side position and a concomitant relief of the back and neck during sleep, are known from the prior art. As a rule, these cushions are formed from a molded part formed in its transverse direction, ie from front to back or vice versa, slightly curved and with support heights of different heights and in some cases with different degrees of support hardness.

Es sind ferner Nackenkissen (nachstehend als Nackenhörnchen bezeichnet) bekannt, welche aufgrund ihrer speziellen Ausformung in den Nacken gelegt werden können. Diese Nackenhörnchen bestehen ebenfalls aus einem im Wesentlichen u-förmig ausgebildeten, meist elastischen Formteil, welches mit einer geschlossenen Rückpartie und zwei nach vorne ausgerichteten Seitenteilen sowie einer zwischen den Seitenteilen vorgesehenen Ausnehmung ausgebildet sind. Das an der Rückpartie die beiden Seitenteile verbindende Rückpartieteil ist hierbei derart ausgebildet, dass es als Auflage für den Nacken genutzt werden kann. Das Nackenkissen ist dabei geeignet, in Sitzlage (bspw. im Auto oder Flieger), genutzt zu werden. Es ist dagegen nicht dafür ausgelegt, in Rückenlage genutzt zu werden, da der Nacken entgegen den Anforderungen eher überstreckt und die Seitenteile als störend empfunden werden würden.There are also neck pillows (hereinafter referred to as neck squirrels) known which can be placed in the neck due to their special shape. These neck crescents also consist of a substantially U-shaped, usually elastic molded part, which are formed with a closed back part and two side parts oriented to the front and a recess provided between the side parts. The rear part connecting the two side parts rear part is in this case designed such that it can be used as a support for the neck. The neck pillow is suitable to be used in sitting position (eg in the car or plane). It is, however, not designed to be used in the supine position, since the neck rather overstretched contrary to the requirements and the side panels would be distracting.

Es empfehlen immer mehr Ärzte, Therapeuten und Bewegungsexperten, in der Rückenlage ohne Kopfkissen zu schlafen, da sich nachts durch die Schwerkraft die Wirbel ausrichten. Der sichtbarste Effekt ist, dass der Mensch morgens größer ist als am Abend. Dieser Effekt wird jedoch durch die Nutzung eines Kissens bei Rückenlage teilweise gehemmt. Bei der Seitenlage wird wiederum ein Kissen - wie eingangs beschrieben - empfohlen, weil in dieser Position der Kopf seitlich abgestützt werden sollte, um den Nacken zu entlasten und Nackenschmerzen zu vermeiden.More and more doctors, therapists and exercise experts recommend sleeping in the supine position without pillows, as the vertebrae align themselves with gravity at night. The most visible effect is that the human being is bigger in the morning than in the evening. However, this effect is partially inhibited by the use of a supine pillow. In the lateral position, a pillow is again recommended - as described above - because in this position, the head should be supported laterally to relieve the neck and to avoid neck pain.

Es ist bekannt, dass sich der Mensch während des Schlafes bewusst oder unbewusst mehrmals aus der Seitenlage in die Rückenlage bewegt. Um den jeweiligen Anforderungen dieser Lagen zu genügen, sind die vorgenannten Kissen allerdings nicht in der Lage, da sie in jedem Fall bewirken, dass der Kopf und/oder der Nacken in Rückenlage gestützt wird, was es allerdings zu verhindern gilt.It is known that during sleep, the person moves consciously or unconsciously several times from the lateral position to the supine position. However, in order to meet the respective requirements of these layers, the abovementioned cushions are not able to do so, since they always cause the head and / or the neck to be supine-supported, which however must be prevented.

Aus der US 5 457 832 A ist ein Kopfkissen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt.From the US 5,457,832 A a pillow according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Kopfkissen zu schaffen, welches die vorgenannten Nachteile ausräumt und geeignet ist, in jedweder Schlafposition eine optimale Ausrichtung des Kopfes sowie des Nackens zu gewährleisten.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a pillow that eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and is suitable to ensure optimal orientation of the head and the neck in any sleeping position.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die voranstehende Aufgabe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Kopfkissens sind in den abhängigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the pillow according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

Bei einem Kopfkissen der eingangs genannten Art ist a) die Ausnehmung in ihrer Breite zur Aufnahme eines menschlichen Kopfes ausgebildet ist, was so viel heißt, dass die Breite so gewählt ist, dass ein durchschnittlicher menschlicher Kopf in der Ausnehmung Platz findet. Im Gegensatz zum klassischen Nackenhörnchen wird der Kopf hierbei erfindungsgemäß daher nicht auf dem die Seitenteile verbindenden Rückenteil, sondern innerhalb der Ausnehmung aufgenommen. Der Kopf liegt somit flach neben den den Kopf seitlich eingrenzenden Seitenteilen auf der Matratze auf.In a pillow of the type mentioned a) the recess is formed in its width for receiving a human head, which means that the width is selected so that an average human head finds place in the recess. In contrast to the classic neck squirrels, according to the invention, the head is therefore not received on the back part connecting the side parts, but rather inside the recess. The head is thus flat on the mattress next to the side of the head narrowing side parts.

b) Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Seitenteile von ihrem äußeren Randbereich bis einschließlich des inneren Randbereiches eine einheitliche Abstützhöhe aufweisen. Die Abstützhöhe im angrenzenden Kopfbereich ist demnach hoch und nicht - wie beim klassischen Nachenhörnchen - zunächst flach und/oder ansteigend ausgebildet. Sobald sich der Anwender im Schlaf von der Rückenlage in die Seitenlage bewegt, wird der Kopf unmittelbar in eine erhöhte Position gebracht. Eine seitliche Überstreckung des Nackens in der Seitenlage wird damit ebenfalls vermieden.b) Furthermore, it is provided that the two side parts have a uniform support height from their outer edge region up to and including the inner edge region. The support height in the adjacent head area is therefore high and not - as in the classic Nachenhörnchen - initially flat and / or rising. As soon as the user moves from the supine position to the lateral position during sleep, the head is immediately brought into an elevated position. A lateral hyperextension of the neck in the lateral position is thus also avoided.

c) Erfindungsgemäß weist die Breite jedes der beiden Seitenteile zur Spaltbreite der Ausnehmung ein Verhältnis von mindestens 2 zu 1 auf, damit dem Kopf eine ausreichende Auflagefläche in Seitenlage zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Hierbei wird vorausgesetzt, dass die Breite der Ausnehmung vorzugsweise mindestens ca. 8-10cm beträgt. Auch in dieser Hinsicht unterscheidet sich das vorliegende Kissen vom klassischen Nackenhörnchen. Die Seitenteile sind dort nämlich nicht geeignet und dazu ausgebildet, den Kopf in eine ausreichend stabile Seitenlage zu bringen; hierzu wären sie zu schmal ausgebildet.c) According to the invention, the width of each of the two side parts to the gap width of the recess a ratio of at least 2 to 1, so that the head is provided a sufficient support surface in lateral position. Here, it is assumed that the width of the recess is preferably at least about 8-10cm. Also in this respect, the present pillow differs from the classic neck pillow. The side panels are not suitable there and adapted to bring the head in a sufficiently stable lateral position; For this they would be too narrow.

Ausführung der ErfindungEmbodiment of the invention

Wie aus Fig.1 ersichtlich, besteht das Kopfkissen aus einem im Wesentlichen u-förmig ausgebildeten, elastischen Formteil 1, welches mit einer geschlossenen Rückpartie 12, zwei nach vorne ausgerichteten Seitenteilen 10,11 und zwischen diesen Seitenteilen 10,11 mit einer sich von der Frontpartie 14 nach hinten erstreckenden spaltförmigen Ausnehmung 13 ausgebildet ist. "Im Wesentlichen" soll vorliegend heißen, dass leichte Abweichungen in Form und Größe der Seitenteile oder andersartige Proportionen - wie dargestellt - durchaus möglich sind. Auch können an dem u-förmigen Formteil 1 zusätzliche Ausbuchtungen oder Ausnehmungen (bspw. für die Ohren) vorhanden sein.How out Fig.1 As can be seen, the pillow consists of a substantially U-shaped, elastic molded part 1, which with a closed back section 12, two forwardly oriented side parts 10,11 and between these side parts 10,11 with a front portion 14 extending rearwardly slit-shaped recess 13 is formed. "Essentially" should mean in the present case that slight deviations in shape and size of the side parts or other proportions - as shown - are quite possible. Also, additional bulges or recesses (eg for the ears) may be present on the U-shaped molded part 1.

Die die Ausnehmung 13 seitlich begrenzenden Seitenteilränder 100,101 erstrecken sich gemäß der Darstellung in Fig.1 von der Frontpartie 14 in Richtung Rückpartie 12 in ihrem Abstand im Wesentlichen parallel. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass dem Anwender in der Rückenlage keine störenden Ausformungen der Seitenteile 10,11 entgegenstehen. Zudem erlaubt die parallele Führung der Seitenteilränder 100,101, dass der Kopf sich beim Drehen des Körpers gleichmäßig auf einem der Seitenteile 10,11 ablegt.The recess 13 laterally delimiting side edges 100,101 extend as shown in FIG Fig.1 from the front end 14 in the direction of back section 12 in their distance substantially parallel. This has the advantage that the user does not stand in the supine position disturbing shapes of the side parts 10,11. In addition, the parallel guidance of the side part edges 100, 101 allows the head to deposit evenly on one of the side parts 10, 11 as the body rotates.

Die Tiefe T der die Seitenteile 10,11 verbindenden Rückpartie 120 zur Ausnehmungstiefe A weist vorzugsweise ein Verhältnis von mindestens 1 zu 4 auf. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass dem Kopf eine ausreichende Tiefe zur Verfügung gestellt wird, ohne das Kissen bei der Herstellung unnötig in die Tiefe ziehen zu müssen, zumal der über der Ausnehmung in Richtung Rückpartie vorhandene Bereich der Seitenteile 10,11 sowie auch der die beiden Seitenteile 10,11 verbindende Rückpartieteil 120 - entgegen der Anwendung des Nackenhörnchens - ohnehin nicht als Auflage genutzt wird. Die Ausnehmung weist vorzugsweise eine der durchschnittlichen Kopfhöhe eines Menschen angepassten Tiefe auf.The depth T of the rear part 120 connecting the side parts 10, 11 to the recess depth A preferably has a ratio of at least 1 to 4. This ensures that the head is provided a sufficient depth without having to pull the cushion unnecessarily in the depth in the production, especially the existing over the recess in the direction of back portion of the side parts 10,11 and also the two side parts 10.11 connecting Rückpartieteil 120 - contrary to the application of the neck rabbit - is not used anyway as a support. The recess preferably has a depth adapted to the average head height of a human.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform gemäß Fig.1 ergeben die die Grundform des Formteils 1 bildenden äußeren Seitenflächen 10,11 die Raumform eines Rechteckes. Diese Grundform entspricht im Wesentlichen der Grundform eines bewährten orthopädischen Kissens. Neben den praktischen Aspekten seiner Nutzung und Aufbewahrung ergibt die Rechteckform des Kopfkissens auch ein einheitliches Bild, da sich die beiden inneren Seitenteilränder 100,101 der Seitenteile 10,11 vorzugsweise parallel erstrecken.In a further advantageous embodiment according to Fig.1 give the the basic shape of the molding 1 forming outer side surfaces 10,11 the spatial shape of a rectangle. This basic form essentially corresponds to the basic form of a proven orthopedic pad. In addition to the practical aspects of its use and storage, the rectangular shape of the pillow also gives a uniform image, since the two inner side edges 100,101 of the side parts 10,11 preferably extend parallel.

In einer weiteren in Fig.2 dargestellten, vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weisen die Seitenteile 10,11 wenigstens zwei Zonen 102,112 unterschiedlicher Abstützhärte auf.In another in Fig.2 illustrated, advantageous embodiment, the side parts 10,11 at least two zones 102,112 different support hardness.

Darüber hinaus kann es vorteilhaft sein, dass die Seitenteile 10,11 wenigstens zwei Bereiche 103,113 unterschiedlicher Abstützhöhe H1,H2 aufweisen.In addition, it may be advantageous for the side parts 10, 11 to have at least two regions 103, 113 of different support height H 1, H 2.

Hinsichtlich des Materials des erfindungsgemäßen Kopfkissens kann auf die üblicherweise bei den genannten orthopädischen Kissen verwendeten Oberflächen- und Füllmaterialien zurückgegriffen werden. Das Kopfkissen sollte im Gegensatz zu Nackenhörnchen aber eine deutlich höhere Festigkeit und Stabilität aufweisen, um den Kopf in der Seitenlage ausreichend stützen zu können.With regard to the material of the pillow according to the invention, reference may be made to the surface and filling materials commonly used in said orthopedic cushions. The pillow should, in contrast to neck squirrels but have a significantly higher strength and stability in order to support the head in the side position sufficiently.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kopfkissen beschränkt sich in seiner Ausführung nicht auf die vorstehend angegebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsformen. Vielmehr sind eine Vielzahl von Ausgestaltungsvariationen denkbar, welche von der dargestellten Lösung auch bei grundsätzlich anders gearteter Ausführung Gebrauch machen.The pillow according to the invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments. Rather, a variety of design variations are possible, which make use of the solution shown even with fundamentally different type of execution.
