The supporting height is adjustable so that the jaw is relaxed and the distortion in the head, the neck and body of a user can be corrected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

    The present invention relates to a technique for correcting face and body distortion using a pillow and a pillow.

  Pillows, which are extremely important for human life but are not consciously conceived because they are used every day and have not been improved, have been devised from various angles over the past 10 years.

  Buckwheat shells and fir shells are organic, so they absorb sweat and moisture, and mites and molds are generated. Small pipes made of polyethylene, pillows that can be washed thoroughly using Marco Beans, etc. Is made. Attempts have also been made to mix cypress chips into buckwheat husks to prevent insects.

  With such a hard material, pillows are hard, pillows using soft and soft polyester cotton, and moisture absorption and moisture release using feathers, linen and camel (camel hair) are also highly elastic Excellent pillows are also made. Low-rebound materials have also been used to fit the head.

  Humans vary greatly from individual to individual. Constitution that is easy to sweat, constitution that is not so. The constitution that the head is easy to rise and the constitution that the feet are swollen. In addition to individual differences, there is a difference in work, family relationships, and social relationships at that time, as well as the structure of the house, surrounding environment, and various factors overlapping each other. What is appropriate as an ideal pillow is different. Therefore, many people must have been able to get a good night's sleep by choosing these pillow materials. However, generally speaking, a pillow that is too soft lacks stability, and as a result, sleep becomes shallow, and the contact area with the skin increases, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Further, the hard pillow has a problem that the weight is biased and it becomes easy to wake up from the stimulus signal.

  Later, it was found that health problems (headaches, stiff shoulders, snoring, etc.) were caused by unsuitable pillows, and research on pillows has evolved into research on materials that can obtain the shape and the desired shape instead of the material of the pillow. Accomplished.

  For example, research has been done on height. FIG. 7 considers how the pillow height affects the user. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), a pillow that was too high was in a state where the chin was retracted and the airway was blocked, which put a burden on the shoulder and neck muscles, causing headaches, stiff shoulders and snoring.

  If the pillow is too low as shown in FIG. 7B, the position of the head is lower than the position of the heart, resulting in poor blood circulation and swelling of the face when waking up in the morning. In addition, since the cervical spine cannot be supported, it is burdensome and causes sleeping errors and stiff shoulders.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (c), a pillow with a raised chin results in an open mouth, mouth breathing, and snoring. In addition, the cervical spine is compressed and blood circulation to the head is deteriorated, so that sleep becomes shallow.

  FIG. 7 (d) shows a state where no pillow is used, but this causes the same problem as in the case of the low pillow shown in FIG. 7 (b). Through these studies, the importance of preparing a pillow with an appropriate height has been recognized.

  As a result of research on the height of this pillow, the ideal height of a pillow that allows a human to sleep with his head tilted at the same angle as when standing in a natural body (posture with no burden on the cervical spine) Yes. This varies from individual to individual, but the depth of the cervical vertebra arc (this is different for each person. The average value is 4 cm for men, 3 cm for women, 90% for men 3 cm to 5 cm, and 2 for women. .5cm-4cm is 90%.) This depth is set as the height of the part where the pillow supports the cervical vertebra, and when the head is placed on the pillow, the elevation angle between the horizontal surface of the head and the face Pillows that support the head so that the angle is 5 degrees have been considered as pillows in line with this ideal.

  FIG. 8 shows one of the pillows made under such a concept, which is currently on the market by Company A. This pillow is divided into five sections (80 to 88) and is basically independent. (84) is the cervical spine, (86) is the occipital bone, and (88) is the section where the parietal bone is placed. The central part (86) is made lower, and both sides (80, 82) are made slightly higher so that it can sleep comfortably even when it is turned sideways.

  Based on the difference in the height of the cervical vertebrae of each person, this company A has several heights of the divisions (84) and (88) as basic units, and it suits the person. The pillow is covered with a mechanism that provides a high pillow.

So far, several conditions have been proposed as good pillow conditions. For example,
(1) Fits snugly and comfortably when sleeping (2) Easy to turn over and has good ventilation (3) Easy to wash and keep clean.

  There is also a medical report that human sleep can be obtained the deepest sleep for 90 minutes after falling asleep. In that sense, “1)“ Fit comfortably when sleeping ”is an important condition. Under this condition, selection of the material of the pillow, the softness, etc. and the setting of the height are major requirements.

  In order to keep a deep sleep as much as possible after going to bed, the condition of “2)“ Easy to lie down and good ventilation ”is important. This condition is necessary because some people roll over several times a night. In the case of Company A, the section where the cervical vertebra is placed (84), the section where the occipital region is placed (86) in FIG. 8, and The section (88) where the parietal bone is placed is horizontally long and the sections (80, 82) on both sides are slightly raised so that the face may be turned sideways when turning over.

  Except in cases where the material of the pillow causes allergies such as atopic dermatitis and the material itself does not match, the point of “3)“ Easy to wash and keep clean ”is to put a cover or dry in the shade Will be kept by.

  Health problems (headaches, stiff shoulders, snoring, etc.) caused by pillows are caused by nerves and blood vessels being compressed by unsuitable pillows, and the neck, shoulders, and back muscles become tense, and the tensions keep the same posture longer It is pointed out by medical institutions that it is caused by continuing.

The following is a summary of these cases and background techniques for pillows.
(1) Individuals get tired and stressed for work and life reasons, which causes tension and stiffness, and stiff shoulders and distortion of posture. Also, mental stress accumulates.
(2) On the other hand, in the case of a conventional size pillow, this stiffness, distortion, and mental stress were not released by going to bed, but increased instead.
(3) Therefore, pillows have been developed that can change the material of the pillow, adjust the height, and are easy to turn over, and efforts have been made to correct tension and distortion by sleeping.

  However, the following cases have been reported. For the rugby player who has symptoms on the head, (1) according to the individual physique, (2) the 77th Japan Orthopedic Report that measures the improvement of the symptoms using the “Orthopedic Pillow” that does not inhibit turning over It was presented to the Surgical Society and showed a satisfactory improvement rate.

  In other words, by making the pillow suitable for the person, not only the stiffness and distortion can be removed, but also the symptoms of people with symptoms in the neck due to the stiffness and distortion can be improved. This report is a valuable report that is very meaningful in this way.

For example, temporomandibular disorder is a disease centered on the face. Temporomandibular disorders are said to be very advanced when any of the following symptoms occur.
( Http://www.biotreat.net/bio-asso/index.html <2004.7.14>)
▲ 1 ▼ Mouth does not open straight and smoothly ▲ 2 ▼ Mouth does not open wide ③ ▼ Sounds when opened (click, poki, squeaky, crisp)
▲ 4 ▼ There is pain in the joints and muscles of the chin ▲ 5 ▼ Jaw is sluggish

This temporomandibular disorder initially exhibits the following symptoms:
(1) Mouth does not open (2) The jaw becomes painful (3) The neck is stiff (4) The eyes are tired (5) The concentration is reduced (6) The jaw sometimes comes off It overlaps with various symptoms caused when it does not fit.

When this symptom progresses and it becomes a terminal symptom, (1) mouth does not open more than 5 mm. (Opening disorder)
▲ 2 ▼ Emotional instability and panic disorder / depression ▲ 3 ▼ Immune ability declines and diseases such as atopy, asthma and collagen disease ④4. (5) Autonomic dysfunction progresses and becomes mentally abnormal (Nerose). (6) It is pointed out that it shows severe medical conditions such as dementia due to decreased blood flow to the brain. The distortion of the face becomes the distortion of the skeleton of the whole body, causing various symptoms.

  As an external symptom of temporomandibular disorder, it has been pointed out that facial distortion (jaw deformity) occurs. Jaw misalignment begins to tilt due to a slight difference in the height of the back teeth, and if the height of the left and right teeth is different and the distance between the top and bottom teeth is different, the shallow back teeth bite Because it is easy, it has a wrinkle that chews in the shallower side, and as a result, the line connecting the eyes and the line of the mouth are not balanced, and the line of the nose is also distorted.

  It is known that when the pillow does not fit, the head and neck are strained, which triggers distortion on the face. This distortion leads to a deviation in the height of the back teeth. Therefore, it can be said that temporomandibular disorders are one of the causes of pillows not matching.

  Therefore, an object of the present application is to provide a method for correcting facial distortion and posture distortion, which are pointed out as symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, with a pillow, and further to provide a pillow therefor. . Various symptoms of temporomandibular disorders by using the pillow (▲ 1) Mouth is not opened (2) Jaw is painful (3) The neck is stiff (4) Eyes are tired (5) Concentration is reduced (6) If you can remove or alleviate your jaw from time to time, you can eliminate fatigue and stress, reduce shoulder stiffness and posture distortion, and become a pillow that guarantees a good night's sleep.

  Temporomandibular disorders are manifested by deep bites, and as a treatment method to eliminate this cause, a method of setting a sprint or mouthpiece in the mouth to prevent deep bites is known. In addition to these points, there is also known a method of setting a bioplate that allows the lower jaw to move smoothly in order to restore the displaced joint disk to the mouth.

  In addition, it has been reported that if you lie on your back and hold the disposable chopsticks deeply in your mouth and keep it for about 15 minutes every day for several weeks, you will get face distortion and body / posture distortion.

  The principle is to first remove the cause of the symptom, so as not to make it worse. However, looking at the case of this disposable chopstick, not only does it stop worsening the symptoms, but also the self-healing power of the person himself is brought out, and the symptoms themselves are cured.

  In addition, this example shows that if the temporomandibular joint is in tension, not only can the facial distortion of the temporomandibular disorder be a direct symptom, but the posture also improves, and the shoulder stiffness can be removed. become.

  Humans remove or reduce fatigue and mental stress accumulated during daytime work and life by sleeping. Pillows are an important tool to help with that. When there is no pillow, sleep with your arms supported. The pillow only needs to match that role, but if it doesn't, the shoulder stiffness, posture distortion, and mental stress remain, that is, the stiffness of the masticatory muscles.

  Muscles will loosen if used and shrink if not used. It shrinks even when broken. As a result, the face is distorted. Such distortion leads to distortion of the cervical spine, and the jaw revolves around the cervical vertebra at the base of the neck (Gusei theory), so the joint disk for moving the jaw smoothly shifts and causes temporomandibular disorders It will be.

  On the other hand, the distortion of the cervical spine causes, for example, the neck to tilt or the balance of the body to be lost, which makes the posture worse, causing back pain, stiff shoulders, and the like. As a result, blood circulation worsens, muscles throughout the body become tense, and the balance of the body is further lost. It becomes a vicious circle where sleep cannot be obtained even if it sleeps and fatigue is accumulated.

  However, what can be inferred from the case of disposable chopsticks is that this vicious circle can be broken by putting the temporomandibular joint in a tense state. Many doctors have pointed out that humans not only get tired and stressed at bedtime, but also correct face and body distortions and bone misalignment. When tension is released, blood circulation is restored, and facial distortion and posture distortion are corrected. Therefore, in this application, we considered a pillow that supports the head and neck so that the tension of the temporomandibular joint can be taken by sleeping on that pillow instead of a bioplate or disposable chopsticks.

  And based on that, we wondered whether it was possible with a conventional pillow. For example, the pillow of Company A shown in FIG. 8 supports the cervical vertebra in the section (84) when considering the posture at bedtime, and releases the occipital bone in the section (86) made lower, in the section (88) The parietal bone is supported, and the elevation angle of the face is about 5 degrees. With this posture, the temporomandibular joint is also loosened, and a good night's sleep is obtained, and fatigue, stress, and facial and physical distortions are corrected.

  However, this pillow is made horizontally long so that the section (84), the section (86), and the section (88) consider turning over while sleeping. It is the same idea in terms of making it horizontally long like a conventional buckwheat pillow. However, in such a pillow, the weights of the parietal bone, the occipital bone, and the cervical spine when the head and neck are placed are shown in FIG. 9 as (90), (92), (94), respectively. It is in a straight line. Since (92) of the portion of the occipital bone has escaped, it is actually a straight line of the type (92) (94). When the head and neck are placed on the pillow in this way, the head and neck are always swinging left and right, but because they can move freely, the cervical spine cannot be stabilized. Therefore, the force that demands stability so as not to shake is also working during sleep, and the tension is working accordingly, and tension cannot be completely taken. When trying to stabilize this, when the head is placed, the weight of the head sinks and the pillow that wraps the head is necessary, but in that case the head heat will be trapped, It will be difficult to fall asleep, and a good night's sleep will be disturbed. In other words, when using the pillow of Company A, an elevation angle of about 5 degrees is guaranteed at bedtime, but there is a problem that this state is not necessarily guaranteed when turning over while sleeping.

  Therefore, in this application, when the head and neck are placed on the pillow, the face elevation angle is about 5 degrees like the pillows of Company A, and the head is supported so that it can be maintained while sleeping. And devised how to support the head and neck. The subject of the present application has been solved by considering and providing a pillow in which the position of the head and neck itself can be stable even with respect to left and right vibrations of the head and can be turned over.

  More specifically, the head is supported by being sandwiched between two portions of the temporal region of the skull (in terms of skeleton, the parietal bone or the temporal bone hits this temporal region), and the portion that supports the occipital bone. Supported by a letter shape. Also, pillows were made so that they could be stably supported by inverted triangles formed by the two places and one place that supports the cervical spine. In terms of shape, when holding a baby sideways, it is placed in a V-shape made with its head on one arm and the other hand supports the buttocks. This V-shaped support method is a support method that allows freedom of movement even if the baby suddenly moves his head. In addition, the triangle support that can be made with two V-shaped points and the other hand is a stable support method. The baby does not try to keep himself in a certain position. In other words, it is a complete weakness, no tension. It is a way of supporting a triangle that stably supports such things. It seems that it is impossible to turn over while maintaining a stable position when the head and neck are placed in a normal state, but it seems to be impossible, but by supporting the head in two places around the neck A small turn is possible in this stable position.

  In the present application, the pillow is divided into two sections A for supporting the head by sandwiching the head, section B for supporting the occipital bone, and section C for supporting the neck, that is, the cervical spine. A V-shape was created at two locations in section A and section B, and the structure was supported so that the head was sandwiched between the V-shapes. In addition, inverted triangles were made at two locations, Category A and Location C, to provide a pillow that can keep the head and neck stable. The left and right sections A that support the head are adjusted by opening and closing in a substantially fan shape so that they can be supported even when the size of the head changes, and also have a sense of stability. Thus, the basic structure was made, and it was made into a pillow that can be adjusted according to individual differences of users and can obtain a pleasant sleep.

  In addition, when supporting the head at two locations, it fits snugly on the head, the outer material is made of stretch material such as stretch material so that it can be supported, and the back side is made of ordinary fabric. In this way, when the pillow material was packed, the outer material swelled and the back surface was kept flat. When the pillow was placed, the pillow itself could be placed stably, and it was devised to fit the head placed on it.

  In addition, as one method, the pillow as a whole is made up of one bag and basically divided into three or four parts on which the head and neck can be placed. The user can easily adjust the height. Alternatively, while preventing the pillow material from going back and forth for each section, put it in the inner bag, allowing each section to move somewhat in the inner bag and fit the user's head. I did it.

  Since the pillow according to the present invention has a structure in which the head is supported by sandwiching the temporal region of the skull of the head, adjustment of the height position of the head can be really easily performed. The height can be adjusted by pinching and opening or closing the portion supporting the temporal region in a fan shape. The height of the cervical vertebra can also be adjusted, so that the elevation angle between the horizontal surface of the head and the face when the head is placed on the pillow can be adjusted to an ideal shape, so that the mouth does not dry out. It can guarantee a good night's sleep without any force on the jaw.

  In addition, the head is supported by placing the head so as to be sandwiched between V-shaped V formed at two places on the temporal region of the skull (the parietal bone and the temporal bone) and one place supporting the occipital bone. The head and neck are structures that are supported by a triangle formed when the line connecting the two portions of the temporal region of the skull is considered as the base and the portion supporting the cervical spine is considered as the apex. The support itself has a very stable feeling, and there is also a margin for swinging the neck from side to side. Therefore, since the heads supported by the two V-shaped portions can be moved freely, it is possible to continue sleeping in an unreasonable manner by swinging the neck to the left and right with respect to turning over while sleeping. In addition, the state of being turned over is stably maintained by being supported by the triangle. As a result, by using this pillow, blood circulation improves, fatigue and stress can be taken, and the facial distortion and body distortion that occurred as a result of fatigue and stress so far have been cured, and the posture is corrected It is also possible.

  In addition to using this pillow as a sleeping pillow, it can be used every day for a certain period of time to treat temporomandibular disorders and cure this symptom.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front external view of a pillow according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear external view of the same pillow as viewed from the back. Moreover, FIG. 3 is an external view when the head and the neck are placed on their back on this pillow. 4 is a view when FIG. 3 is viewed from above. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the same FIG. 3 taken along the center line (50).

  In FIG. 1, 2 and 4 are sections for placing the temporal region of the skull of the head, and 6 is a section for placing the cervical spine. 8 is a section for placing the occipital bone. The portions corresponding to the section (2), the section (4), the section (6), and the section (8) are made of one stretch fabric (20) having elasticity. The back section (3), section (5) and section (7) in FIG. 2 come to the back of this section (2), section (4) and section (6), which are also made of one cloth However, the cloth (22) on the back side is made of a non-stretchable cloth such as cotton.

  The stretch cloth (20) and the cloth (22) are stitched together on the back surface (the stitched surface is not shown), and is packed with buckwheat husks, tea husks, etc. (other materials may be used in some cases). The surface is made of stretch cloth (20), so the more you pack it, the more the surface will rise, but the back side is flat, so you can sit comfortably and make a natural cushion pillow.

  If you make a bag with the same fabric material and stuff it as before, the back side and the surface will be the same shape, and if you want to raise the surface and make the cushion richer, the back side will rise in the same way, as a pillow Although it was not stable, pillows with good sitting and cushioning were made by changing the properties of the cloth used on the front and back.

  Section (2), section (4), section (6) and section (8) are made of one bag, but section (6) and section (8) are roughly sewed on both sides with thread, section (2) , Section (4), section (6), and section (8) are kept independent. Therefore, the section (6) has a height of about 3 to 4 cm as a part for placing the cervical spine. In contrast, section (2) and section (4) are approximately 6 to 10 cm high, and section (2) is thread (10, 11), section so that the upper part and center part of FIG. In (4), so-called gusset sewing is performed with the threads (12, 13), and the threads are passed through the sections (3) and (5), respectively, and are stopped. The gusseted peripheral part is designed so that the height can be suppressed. The reason why the upper side portion is made to bulge is that the side portion of the skull (parietal bone or temporal bone) is placed here, and the head is supported here.

  Section (8) is the part that supports the occipital bone just above the cervical spine. The head supports the side part of the skull at two points by section (2) and section (4), and supports it in a V shape formed by this section (8). (14) and (16) are elastic bands, and both ends are sewn to section (3) and section (5), and section (2) and section (4) on the back are section (3) and section. (5) can be fanned out and stabilized when the head is placed in the widened state.

  Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show the appearance of the pillow when the head and neck are actually placed on their backs. The cervical vertebra (30) is placed on the section (6) and is behind the face. Two points (32, 34) on the temporal side of the parietal bone (31) are placed on the section (2) and the section (4), respectively. The occipital bone is shaped to rest on section (8). When the center point of the cervical vertebra (30) is a point (36), the two points (32, 34) supporting the parietal bone (31) form a triangle as seen in FIG. The cross-sectional external view (FIG. 4) is also triangular.

  When viewed in FIG. 4, a substantially V-shape is formed at two points (32, 34) that are contact points between the head and the pillow and a point (24) that supports the occipital bone. The head is placed in this V-shape. When a sphere having the same radius as the size of the head is placed on a V-shaped base, there are two points of contact between the sphere and the V-shaped base, so that the load applied to the contact is small and it can rotate freely. In the same way, when the head is placed on this pillow, there are two support contacts (32, 34) that mainly take the weight of the head, with the head supporting the cervical spine (36) as the axis. Free movement of the head is possible. Therefore, even if the person rolls over while sleeping, the head can be stably placed on the pillow by moving the face left and right around the cervical spine.

  When the head and neck are placed on this pillow, the head and neck can be placed on the pillow in an extremely stable manner as long as the height is adjusted. Moreover, since the cross-section is supported by a triangle, it is possible to swing the face to the left and right within the stable range.

  Also, the elevation angle between the head horizontal plane placed on the pillow and the face is ideally 5 degrees, but this adjustment basically expands or narrows sections (2) and (4) into a fan shape. In addition, the height of the section (6) can be adjusted by taking in and out the pillow material and by mutual adjustment with the sections (2) and (4). And once you adjust and check the height that suits you, you won't adjust each time.

  As seen in FIG. 5, the skull of the head (the parietal or temporal bone) is supported by the support (32) of the pillow section (2), and the height of the head is the height (32) of this support. Determined by. The support part (32) is the contact point between the head and the pillow, and even if the same pillow is used, the height will be different each time depending on the shape of the person's head and the angle created by the sections (2) and (4) of the pillow. Different. The angle at which the head jaw is pulled is determined by the height of the section (6) that supports the cervical spine and the support (32). When the section (6) is high, the angle formed by the sections (2) and (4) When the width is narrowed, the support portion (32) becomes high, and the height of the section (6) is balanced. On the contrary, when the height of the section (6) is low, the angle formed by the section (2) and the section (4) may be widened so that the height of the support portion (32) is lowered.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the section (6) is slightly high, the height is adjusted so that the head is raised, force is applied to the lower jaw, and conversely, the temporal region of the parietal bone (31) is supported by the support portion (32). If it becomes too high, the head will be lowered and force will be applied to the upper jaw. Adjust the point that supports the head and the point that supports the cervical spine, find the point where there is no force in either the upper jaw or the lower jaw, and adjust the point to relieve the tension. If you put it on, blood circulation will be improved, stiffness will be removed and face and body distortion will be corrected.

  FIG. 6 shows that the section (2) and the section (4) are opened in a fan shape or moved in the closing direction for a large head (60) and a small person (62) when viewed from the direction of FIG. This is a schematic drawing of the situation, showing that a person with any head size can be accommodated only by opening and closing the sections (2) and (4). As can be seen from this schematic diagram, since the head is supported by a V-shape, the face can be swung to the left and right without any resistance, and a small turn over is extremely easy.

  FIG. 10 is also an external view of an embodiment of the pillow according to the present invention, which is basically the same as the pillow of FIG. 1 and is different from the others in that it has (102, 104) protrusions. . This is a particularly good pillow for those who use the pillow to lie on their back and settle down with their hands raised. Grasp this protrusion with your raised hand and your posture will stabilize. In the case of a person who is not resistant to taking such a posture, a stable posture in which tension is maintained can be maintained, and this can be used to improve therapeutic effects such as temporomandibular disorders. Moreover, it can be used for setting the position of a pillow as well as a specific person sleeping with his hands raised. When placing the head on the pillow, this protrusion (102, 104) is used so that the pillow is placed neatly along the center line of the head and body, and conversely, the head and body are placed along the center line of the pillow. If you are grabbing, you can do it easily, and you can sleep with your chest open. This protrusion (102, 104) is useful when this pillow is used for treatment.

  Further, the shape of the portion (106) that supports the cervical vertebra is made trapezoidal unlike the drawing, so that it expands into a fan shape, and when supporting the head, the elastic bands (14, 16) used in FIG. 2 need not be used. It is what I did.

  In addition, about turning over while sleeping, since the pillow of this application has tied the surface and the back surface with the thread | yarn (10,11,12,13) as FIG.1, FIG.2 shows, this peripheral part is section (2 ) And lower in the section (4) than the upper side. Therefore, it is possible to place the side face on this after turning over, and it is possible to turn over like a normal pillow.

  FIG. 11 is an external view of the main body of another embodiment of the pillow according to the present invention. The pillow body is composed of a section (120, 122) that supports the temporal region of the skull of the head, a section (118) that supports the cervical spine, and a section (116) that supports the occipital bone. And the edge part of a section (120,122) is comprised so that a user may hold | grip with the hand in the state which put the head on the pillow.

  This pillow body uses a stretch fabric cloth with high stretch on the surface, and a cotton fabric with poor stretch on the back surface. When the pillow material is inserted, the pillow body swells toward the top of the drawing. I am doing so. Each section (116, 118, 120, 122) is sewn as an independent section. The section (116) lightly supports the back of the head and encloses the brown tea seeds in a separate bag for a good night's sleep. The section (118) is not so hard that the cervical vertebra hits and supports the section (118) and encloses a buckwheat shell in a separate bag so that the height can be easily adjusted. The sections (120, 122) directly pack the buckwheat husk so that the height can be adjusted more easily. In addition, four places (108, 110, 112, 114) are stopped by gusseting so as to swell upward in the drawing so that the temporal region of the skull can be supported in a hollow state.

  FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the AB line connecting A and B and the CD line connecting C and D in FIG. FIG. 12 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along the AB line, and as can be seen, the section (120) and the section (122) are in the form of a raised mountain to support the temporal region of the skull. . This mountain and the top of the mountain will support the temporal region above the hollow. The section (116) is a section that supports the occipital bone.
