Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a portable small pillow, and more particularly, to a pillow that allows a comfortable sleep by placing a head on a desk.

  If you are struck by sleepiness at work, school, or travel, you often sleep while lying down on a desk, etc., but if you sleep with your face on a hard, flat desk, Since the weight of the part is directly received by the contact surface and causes pain, countermeasures are taken by placing a hand pillow or a tabletop pillow on the desk.

  Among these, a table pillow disclosed in the registered utility model No. 3074685 is known. This pillow is laid on a desk and then placed on the face with a hand pillow, or the face is placed directly on the pillow, and the pillow thickness is adjusted by folding the pillow. .

  However, when a hand pillow is placed on the pillow and the face is placed on it, the weight of the head is supported between the hand, arm, chin, cheek, forehead, etc., resulting in compression marks on the contact surface. There were problems such as numbness, numbness and sweating. In addition, when placing the head directly on the pillow, the shape of the surface of the pillow is fixed, and the shape of the surface can be changed freely like a hand pillow so that the contact surface with the jaw, cheek, forehead, etc. I couldn't. In addition, such a conventional pillow requires a certain thickness to fulfill its function, and is inconvenient to carry when going out.

In addition, when using such a pillow having a curved surface as a cushion material, a cushion mold is required, which greatly increases design and development costs and processing costs. In addition, when padding such as cotton or feather is used for the cushioning material, the manufacturing process is complicated and expensive, and when it becomes dirty, it is difficult to separate the cushioning material from the cover material, which makes it difficult to care for washing etc. It puts a burden on the user.
