Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article which solves problems that when sleeping sideways using a pillow, the user's ears are blocked and hardly hear voices and its long use makes the ears painful. <P>SOLUTION: This tunnel-type pillow is provided with a horn-shaped opening part 2 vertically and horizontally penetrating through the central part of the respective six faces of a square pillow and inclined outward into a petal shape with prescribed thickness. The pillow, in its inside, is filled with materials with appropriate flexibility, and has strength for preventing the opening part from being recessed and from impairing its air permeability and sound transmission property. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は枕に関するものであって、その使用勝手を向上するために四角形の各面に縦横に貫通した開口部を設けることによって、この枕を使用する時に音声を聞取りやすくするとともに共に通気性もよくなる構造となっている。 The present invention relates to a pillow, and in order to improve its usability, by providing openings that penetrate vertically and horizontally on each side of a square, it is easy to hear sound when using this pillow and also has air permeability. It has a better structure.

従来、枕を使用する際に横向きに寝ると、耳が塞がれ音声が聞こえにくい事と長時間の使用では耳が痛くなるなどの問題があった。（特許文献１）
実開昭６２−１５２７５号公報 Conventionally, when sleeping on the side when using a pillow, there was a problem that the ear was blocked and it was difficult to hear the sound, and the ear became painful when used for a long time. (Patent Document 1)
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-15275

（イ）長時間の使用は頭の重みで耳が押され苦痛であった。
（ロ）寝ながらテレビを見るときなど横になるため枕を使用すると片方の耳が押さえられ音楽などは音質が劣化し、さらに通気性も悪いため使用時に不快なことがあった。(B) Long-term use was painful because the ears were pushed by the weight of the head.
(B) When lying down, such as when watching TV while sleeping, using one of the pillows held down one ear, the sound quality of the music deteriorated, and the air permeability was poor, making it uncomfortable during use.

本発明は、四角の枕各六面の中心部に、縦横に貫通しかつ外側へ花弁状に一定の厚さ分傾斜を持たせたラッパ状の開口部（２）を設ける。内部には適度の柔軟性のある素材を充填し開口部がつぶれて通気性、通音性が損なわれないように保つ強度を有する。以上が、本発明の構成である。 In the present invention, a trumpet-shaped opening (2) is provided at the center of each of the six sides of the square pillow, which penetrates vertically and horizontally and has an outwardly inclined petal-like thickness. The inside is filled with a moderately flexible material so that the opening is crushed so that air permeability and sound permeability are not impaired. The above is the configuration of the present invention.

横に寝るときに耳の部分が花弁状かつラッパ状に丸みを帯びた開口部に当たり、耳が圧迫されることが少ない。又テレビや音楽を聴く時も開口部からの通音で聞こえが良く、従来の物に比較し大変音質もよく通気性と共に快適になった。 When lying on the side, the ear part hits the petal-like and trumpet-shaped opening, and the ear is less likely to be pressed. Also, when listening to TV and music, the sound from the opening was good, and the sound quality was much better than the conventional one, making it comfortable and breathable.

以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
（イ）正四角形の枕の各六面中心部には花弁状かつラッパ状の開口部（２）を設ける。縦横に貫通するための穴として正四角筒状（３）にした柔軟性のある布素材等で花弁状に縫製する。
（ロ）耳の部分を圧迫しないようにやわらかい布などの素材を使用し、開口部には花弁状かつラッパ状で角が立たないよう丸みをつける。
（ハ）本発明は夜の就寝に使用するよりも横になってテレビを見る時などに主眼を置いている。固めの枕とするためにそば殻などを使用することにより熱の吸収効果を上げることが出来る。
本発明は以上のような構造で、これを使用する時は通常の枕と同様に使用する。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(A) A petal-like and trumpet-shaped opening (2) is provided at the center of each of the six sides of the square pillow. It is sewn in the shape of a petal with a flexible cloth material or the like made into a regular square tube shape (3) as a hole for penetrating vertically and horizontally.
(B) Use a material such as a soft cloth so as not to compress the ear part, and round the opening so that it is petal-like and trumpet-shaped with no corners.
(C) The present invention focuses on such things as lying down and watching television rather than using it for sleeping at night. By using buckwheat husk etc. to make a firm pillow, the heat absorption effect can be increased.
The present invention has the structure as described above, and when used, it is used in the same manner as a normal pillow.

図１は本発明の実施例形状で、通気性のある布等を使用しており、花弁状かつラッパ状開口部（２）を設け、この部分には丸みをつけ皮膚への当たりを和らげる。筒状部（３）も同じ素材で縫製し、内部にはそば殻等を使用しその充填量によって硬さを調整する。 FIG. 1 shows a shape of an embodiment of the present invention, which uses a breathable cloth or the like and is provided with a petal-like and trumpet-like opening (2), which is rounded to reduce the contact with the skin. The cylindrical portion (3) is also sewn with the same material, and a buckwheat hull is used inside to adjust the hardness according to the filling amount.

本発明は、これから長寿人口の増加が見込める日本においてお年寄りなどが一寸横になりたい時や多少耳が遠くなった人に使ってもらうと便利な品物である。
高齢化社会に向けて需要が見込める製品である。The present invention is a convenient item for elderly people who want to lie down in Japan, where a long-lived population is expected to increase, or for those who are somewhat far behind.
