Description

本発明は、使用者の好みに応じて枕の高さや硬さ、充填材の種類や量を調整することにより、肩こり、首のこり、頭痛、疲労回復に寄与する枕に関する。The present invention relates to a pillow that contributes to stiff shoulders, neck stiffness, headache, and fatigue recovery by adjusting the height and hardness of the pillow and the type and amount of filler according to the user's preference.

従来、まくら部材のまくら充填材を出し入れすることによって、使用者に合わせて高さや硬さが調節できる枕が発明されたが、まくら充填材で用いるそば殻やパイプ、ウレタンチップなどは出し入れの時にまくら充填材が飛散し、片付ける手間がかかり不便であった。そのため、調整用のまくら充填材は保管されたままになり、硬さや高さを調整する機能を十分に発揮できずにいた。また、袋状のまくら部材は、まくら充填材を入れ替えることもできるが、この場合もそば殻やウレタンチップなどが飛散し、収集することに手間をとられ面倒であり不便であった。
特願２００５−１７４２２０号 Conventionally, pillows that can adjust height and hardness according to the user by putting in and out pillow fillers of pillow members have been invented, but buckwheat shells, pipes, urethane chips etc. used in pillow fillers are The pillow filler was scattered and it was inconvenient because it took time to clean up. Therefore, the adjustment pillow filler remains stored, and the function of adjusting the hardness and height cannot be sufficiently exhibited. Further, the pillow-shaped pillow member can replace the pillow filling material, but in this case as well, the buckwheat husks and urethane chips are scattered, which is troublesome and inconvenient to collect.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-174220

また、まくら充填材は素材によって形状や大きさが異なるため、例えば、そば殻とパイプを同一枕部材内に挿入して使用する場合、パイプ内の空洞部にそば殻が入り込んでしまい、まくら充填材としての機能を発揮できないことがあった。In addition, since the shape and size of pillow filling materials differ depending on the material, for example, when a buckwheat husk and a pipe are inserted into the same pillow member, the buckwheat husk enters the hollow portion of the pipe, and the pillow filling In some cases, the function as a material could not be demonstrated.

本発明は上述の点から鑑なみてなされたもので、調整の際に使用者に手間をとらせず、簡単にまくら充填材を出し入れでき、使用者の条件に応じて高さ、硬さが自由に調整できる機能を発揮できる枕を提供することを目的とする。The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can be easily put in and out of the pillow filling material without making the user troublesome during adjustment, and the height and hardness can be adjusted according to the user's conditions. An object is to provide a pillow that can perform a function that can be freely adjusted.

上記課題を解決するため請求項１に記載の発明は、柔軟性を有する材料からなる小袋にまくら充填材を収容し、該まくら充填材を収容した小袋を複数挿入したことを特徴とする枕にある。In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a pillow characterized in that a pillow filling material is accommodated in a sachet made of a flexible material, and a plurality of sachets containing the pillow filling material are inserted. is there.

請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の枕において、上記小袋の挿入数を調整して、体積及び硬さを調整することを特徴とする。The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the pillow according to claim 1, the volume and hardness are adjusted by adjusting the number of inserted sachets.

請求項１に記載の枕によれば、本発明はまくら充填材に用いられるそば殻やパイプ、ウレタンチップなどを、柔軟性を有する材料からなる小袋に収容してあるので、まくら充填材が飛散することがなく、枕内に複数収容する作業の時間を短縮でき、簡単に行うことができる。According to the pillow according to claim 1, since the present invention accommodates buckwheat husks, pipes, urethane chips, etc. used for pillow fillers in a sachet made of a flexible material, the pillow filler is scattered. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time for the work to be accommodated in the pillow, and to perform it easily.

請求項２の発明によれば、本発明の枕は、まくら充填材を収容した小袋を複数挿入し、硬さや体積を調整することができる。使用者の好みや体調に合わせて、まくら充填材を収容した小袋の増減によって硬さや体積を調整できる。本枕は、まくら充填材が小袋に収容されているので、出し入れによる量の増減が簡単にできる。これにより使用者の肩こり、首こり、疲労状態によって枕の硬さ、高さ、充填材の種類の選択などができる本来の枕の機能を発揮することができ快適な睡眠を提供できる。According to the invention of claim 2, the pillow of the present invention can adjust the hardness and volume by inserting a plurality of sachets containing pillow filling materials. The hardness and volume can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of sachets containing pillow fillers according to the user's preference and physical condition. Since this pillow has a pillow filling material contained in a sachet, the amount of the pillow can be easily increased or decreased. Thereby, the function of the original pillow which can select the hardness of a pillow, the height of a pillow, the kind of filler, etc. according to a user's stiff shoulder, neck stiffness, and a fatigue state can be exhibited, and comfortable sleep can be provided.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図１は本発明に係る枕の図で、図１の枕１は、枕部材２，３，４内にまくら充填材を挿入した状態を示した図である。この枕１は、袋の結合によって構成されているので、枕部材２，３，４ごとに異なったまくら充填材を挿入することができる。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view of a pillow according to the present invention, and the pillow 1 of FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which a pillow filler is inserted into the pillow members 2, 3 and 4. Since this pillow 1 is comprised by the coupling | bonding of a bag, it can insert a different pillow filler for every pillow member 2,3,4.

例えば枕部材２内には、そば殻を収容してある小袋を枕部材２に設けてある開口部を通して複数挿入し、枕部材４内には、ビーズを収容してある小袋を挿入する。そして、枕部材３内には、そば殻を収容した小袋とビーズを収容した小袋というように、異なるまくら充填材を組み合わせて挿入することができるので、硬さ調節の選択範囲が広がる。For example, a plurality of sachets containing buckwheat husks are inserted into the pillow member 2 through an opening provided in the pillow member 2, and a sachet containing beads is inserted into the pillow member 4. And, since different pillow fillers can be inserted into the pillow member 3 in combination, such as a sachet containing buckwheat husks and a sachet containing beads, the selection range of hardness adjustment is expanded.

図２は、まくら充填材に用いるそば殻を小袋に収容した状態を示した図である。この柔軟性を有する袋９の素材は、通気性に優れ且つ、そば殻が飛散しない布や不織布などが適する。この図２で示した半月状の小袋内に所定の量のそば殻を収容し、接着部８を封じる。封じる方法は、素材によって縫製、熱接着など様々にできる。FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the buckwheat husk used for the pillow filling material is housed in a sachet. The material of the flexible bag 9 is preferably a cloth or a non-woven fabric that has excellent air permeability and does not scatter the buckwheat husk. A predetermined amount of buckwheat husk is accommodated in the half-moon shaped sachet shown in FIG. 2, and the adhesive portion 8 is sealed. The sealing method can be varied depending on the material, such as sewing or thermal bonding.

図３は、本発明の枕に用いる各種まくら充填材を示した図である。例えば、そば殻１０を所定の量を小袋に収容したそば殻入り小袋５は、半月状の形状にし、小袋の素材は通気性の木綿にする。次に、ビーズ１１を所定の量を小袋に収容したビーズ入り小袋６は、楕円形の形状にし、小袋の素材は伸縮性のあるものにする。ウレタンチップ１２も同様にウレタンチップ入り小袋７の形状を異なるものし、素材を選択する。前記において、小袋の形状や小袋の素材は同じでも良い。FIG. 3 is a view showing various pillow fillers used in the pillow of the present invention. For example, a buckwheat sachet 5 containing a predetermined amount of buckwheat husk 10 in a sachet has a half-moon shape, and the material of the sachet is made of breathable cotton. Next, the beaded sachet 6 containing a predetermined amount of beads 11 in the sachet is formed into an elliptical shape, and the sachet is made of a stretchable material. Similarly, the urethane chip 12 has a different shape of the urethane chip-containing sachet 7 and a material is selected. In the above, the shape of the pouch and the material of the pouch may be the same.

図４は、袋の結合で構成された枕部材２，３，４に、通気性をよくするために菱形の空隙部１５を設けた本枕１と、まくら充填材入り小袋１４を示した図である。本枕１の長さや高さには格別の限定はないが、ここでは、長さ７００ｍｍ、縦５００ｍｍ、高さ１００ｍｍとする。これに対し各枕部材２，３，４に設けてある開口部ファスナー１３の長さは、約１００ｍｍ以下とする。従って、枕部材２，３、４内に挿入するためにまくら充填材の大きさは、開口部ファスナー１３の直径に対して、その長さの３分の１以下のまくら充填材入り小袋１４が適する。FIG. 4 is a view showing the main pillow 1 in which a rhombus-shaped gap portion 15 is provided on the pillow members 2, 3, and 4, which are configured by combining the bags, and a pillow 14 with a pillow filling material. It is. Although there is no special limitation in the length and height of this pillow 1, it is 700 mm in length, 500 mm in length, and 100 mm in height here. On the other hand, the length of the opening fastener 13 provided in each pillow member 2, 3 and 4 is about 100 mm or less. Therefore, the size of the pillow filler for insertion into the pillow members 2, 3, 4 is less than one-third of the length of the diameter of the opening fastener 13. Suitable.
