Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that it is difficult to judge whether or not even a pillow in use now is really suited to a user since it is difficult to make a comparison unless he/she sleeps on it at least for a night even when the pillow to be used daily is tested, and many semi-medical pillows on the market now called as the pillows for improving a straight neck are fixed, so it is hard to sleep without moving at an ideal position in contact with the pillow, and there are many examples of worsening it on the contrary due to strain. <P>SOLUTION: A health pillow medically suitable for everyone is designed, a rod with a certain extent of hardness is inserted to a part to be in contact with the neck, a spring connecting the rod and a base is moved up and down in a well-balanced manner on the left and right accompanying the movement of the head and the neck, and some inclination is possible as well. The strength and height can be easily adjusted with one screwdriver. Thus, the neck bone (cervical vertebrae) is moderately and comfortably stimulated regardless of habitus, there is no risk of injuring the cervical vertebrae, and the pillow which not only prevents the abnormal cervical vertebrae but also makes it possible to expect the effect of restoring the normal neck bone is attained as a result. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a pillow that is medically suitable for health and sleep. Since pillows are used every day, a number of pillows that are good for health and suitable for sleep are devised, marketed, and used. However, there are great differences in the shape of the head, neck, cervical spine, etc., the degree of sensation, and the size of the sensation, and it was difficult to make a pillow that suits everyone. I thought it was good, or I bought it because it was recommended, but it was difficult to judge whether it was the right pillow for me. Moreover, even if it is a pillow with an ideal shape, it is impossible to say that you are always sleeping with your head in the ideal position on it, and the shape of the part that touches the neck can be interlocked by a slight movement of the neck desirable. Based on the data, devise a shape that suits it. In order to easily adjust the elasticity and height of the head, cervical spine, etc., the spring strength and pillow height were fine-tuned with a single screw to provide the optimum pillow for individuals. Furthermore, we considered a structure in which not only the material inside the pillow but also the shape of the part in contact with the neck is linked to the movement of the neck to some extent by the action of the spring.

There were many people who habitually used the appropriate pillow that was given to them as a pillow that suits them, rather than choosing the pillows themselves. Certainly pillows are made of many shapes and materials, and many types are lined up in stores. It's very difficult to determine if you really take it home, sleep one night at a time, and don't try it out. However, this is also difficult due to the circumstances of manufacturers and dealers.

  Most of the pillows that I use in general are just thinking that this is right for me and I think I'm using it every day, but it's very difficult to judge whether it really suits me It is difficult. Although it is very difficult, most people still use it even if they don't understand it. Therefore, I changed my mind and thought that if I could make a medically good pillow for the general public and adjust it to the shape, hardness, and height that suits each person, I would come closer to that ideal.

  By connecting the rod-shaped neck support and the base with a spring, it fits even if the position when sleeping is slightly shifted due to the action of the spring, the tilt and the strength of the spring can be adjusted freely at the center of the spring, A mandrel that supports the neck and is not fixed to the base is provided.

  Conventional pillows that are marketed as being good for health and medically have a weak point that the effect is weakened if the head and neck are not in the ideal position. It has a certain degree of hardness, the built-in spring moves up and down, and it can move a little, so it is easy to keep the ideal position on the pillow, and you can comfortably comfortably fit the neck bone (cervical vertebrae) without choosing a body shape Stimulation, prevention of abnormal deformation of the cervical spine, and return to normal neck bones can be expected. In particular, it can be expected to have a great effect on prevention and improvement of straight neck. (Dr. Hiroshi Yamaoka, MD)

Go through the two thick holes (5) from the bottom of the raised part (1) on the longer side (1). Furthermore, a hole thicker than the screw (4) to be used is made in the center of the hole. Separately, a neck support (2) which is saddle-shaped and rounded at both ends is provided. Two springs (3) are used to connect the base and neck support with a screw that penetrates the middle of the spring, but the upper part of the screw is fixed in position and can be freely rotated. The lower part is a thick hole in the base. Stop with nut (6) from below. However, since it is not fixed to the platform, the spring (3) moves up and down with good balance and can be tilted (Fig. 2) without damaging the cervical spine.
You can easily adjust the spring strength and height by inserting a screwdriver into the thick hole (5) from the bottom of the base, making it possible to make a pillow that suits the person.
