Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pillow having a structure which can adjust the comfortable height of the pillow easily and instantly.SOLUTION: A pillow is divided into a principal chamber 1 to lay his or her head and spare chambers 2, 2 where filler can be placed in order to provide a filler 5 to the principal chamber. By using spring clasps 4, 4 as dividers of the connection part of each chamber in order to allow each other to move, the filler is moved easily and the pillow of comfortable height can be obtained.

Description

The present invention relates to a pillow that can easily adjust the height of the pillow used at bedtime using a spring cap.

To adjust the height of conventional pillows, increase or decrease the pad in the pillow, stack thin pillows, increase or decrease the filling material, or go to a specialty store to make each person make a pillow It is common.

Neither is easy, and getting a comfortable pillow height is difficult and expensive. Moreover, even if you want to change the height of the pillow according to your physical condition and mood, if you can't do it easily and speedily, you don't want to change the height.

Therefore, various proposals for changing the height of the pillow have been made (for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

Patent Document 1 proposes opening and closing the openings of the main filling chamber and the sub-filling chamber with a hook-and-loop fastener. However, in this method, when opening the opening, the fabric of the filler cover is pulled to open. For this reason, it is difficult to move the filler, and it is difficult to adjust the height of the pillow. In addition, the joint between the fabric and the hook-and-loop fastener is broken, and it cannot withstand long-term use. On top of that, when the buckwheat husk is used, the buckwheat husk is crushed into a powder as the pillow is used, clogging the seal part of the hook-and-loop fastener and reducing its ability to close. Also, when using feathers, wool, or cotton materials, fibrous materials get entangled with the seal, reducing the ability to close as well.

The present invention has been conceived to solve the weaknesses of the hook-and-loop fastener as in the previous period.

Conventional pillows have a constant head height and it is difficult to find a pillow that is appropriate for each person. Even if you finally pick and buy to get a good night's sleep, then even if it's good, take it home and try it. Also, it often happens that the height does not adjust over time. It was difficult for the pillows to come naturally and maintain the same height as they continued to be used, and the height was usually low.

When the pillow was high, it was necessary to open the pillow cover and remove a portion of the filler, and when it was low, refill the pillow filler and store it separately, throw it away, or buy it. In this way, it was troublesome to adjust the pillow height to the height that suits each person.

The present invention is a pillow comprising a bag-shaped main chamber (1) sized to put a head when placed flat and bag-shaped auxiliary chambers (2, 2) provided on the left and right sides of the bag. The filling material (5) is accommodated in 1) and the spare chambers (2, 2), and the main chamber (1) and the spare chambers (2, 2) are opened through the openable and closable openings (4, 4). The opening (4, 4) is connected and a base made of a flexible flat plate is attached to the opening (4, 4), and the opening is opened and closed to allow the filler to pass between the main chamber and the spare chamber. The pillow is characterized in that the height of the main room can be changed by moving between the two.

The flexible flat plate used in the present invention is required to be made of a material that is easily bent when bent and can be restored when the force is released, and examples thereof include spring steel and hard plastic. Two pieces of the same size flat plate of such material are stacked to form a base. If force is applied from both ends, it will bend and open, and if force is applied, it will return.

In the present invention, the filler can freely move through the base at the boundary of the divided rooms.

A base made of a flexible flat plate for use in the present invention may be one that is usually marketed for bag entry and bag opening by sewing a bag.

A sketch of a commercially available spring-type base is shown in FIG. 10 is a flat plate of spring steel of the same size, and these two pieces are connected by connecting fittings (9) at both ends. By pressing both ends of the metal fitting, the flat plate (10) opens in a lip shape.

As the filler (5) used in the present invention, there are buckwheat husks, sponge grains, resin beads, foam beads, short straw straw resin, feathers, wool and the like. It is valid.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the openings (4, 4) can be opened with a light force, the filler can be easily moved, and the height of the pillow can be easily adjusted to the height desired by each person. Can be.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 in FIG. 1 is a main room. The bag is made of cloth and has a length of 35CM and a width of 45CM. The main chamber (2 and 2) has a bag-like body (length 35CM and width 15CM) on the left and right sides of the main chamber (1) and the spare chamber (2, 2) is mounted with a spring-type base having a width of 1.5 CM and a length of 12 CM. Open the zipper of the whole filler cover (6) in Fig. 1 and put 700 grams of granular resin beads into the main chamber as filler (5). If there is a lot of filler (5) in the main room of this 1, the height of the pillow will be high, and if it is low, it will be low. If you want to increase the height of the pillow, add more filler to the main room to the desired height.

If the main chamber (1) is too high in that state, apply a pinch force to the spring-loaded bases (4, 4) of FIG. . Then, as shown in FIG. 3b, the spring steel plate (10) opens up and down with the axis (8) of the spring-type base as the starting point, and the filler (5) can move from the main chamber (1) to the spare chamber (2, 2). become. At this time, if the head is tilted with a pillow or is pressed by applying pressure to the main chamber, the filler (5) moves to the spare chamber (2, 2). After the appropriate amount has been moved, the spring-type base is closed as shown in FIG. Thereby, the filler (5) cannot move through the connecting portions (7, 7). The filler (5) is fixed and the height of the main chamber is fixed. Conversely, when the main chamber (1) is low, the filler (5) may be moved to the main chamber by opening a spring-type base from the spare chamber (2, 2).

Since the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, changing the height of the pillow can be quickly and subtly changed.
