Description

本発明は、特に、蒸れ難い通気性、放熱性、弾力性および頭部および頸部の安定保持性に優れた枕に関するものである。   In particular, the present invention relates to a pillow having excellent breathability, heat dissipation, elasticity, and stable head and neck stability.

従来から用いられている枕は、種々の素材からなる詰め物を外装布袋の内部に充填してなるものが一般的である。蕎麦殻やパンヤなどの植物性素材を詰め物に用いた枕は、頭部の熱や発汗を効果的に吸収して放熱する良好な通気性を有する反面、クッション性に劣るうえに使用中に頭部の重みで詰め物が外装布袋の隅に片寄って中央部が凹む状態に変形してしまうために、寝返りを自然な状態でうちながらの快適な安眠を促進することができない。また、真綿や羽毛などの植物性素材または粒状や玉状の無機素材を詰め物に用いた枕は、頭部に馴染み易い安定した枕形状を維持できる利点を有するが、通気性や弾力性に劣る欠点がある。さらに、ウレタンフォームやプラスチックなどの化学製品からなる素材を詰め物に用いた枕は、極めて良好な弾力性を有しているが、透湿透水性に劣って蓄熱性があるために蒸れ易く、頭部からの熱や汗が内部に籠もり易く、しかも、頭部の荷重を受けたときに大きく変形して底つきし易いことから良好な頸部保持性を常に保持できない難点がある。すなわち、外装布袋の内部に詰め物を充填しただけの構造の枕は、何れも詰め物の種類に応じて一長一短があり、快適な安眠を促進できるものが得られない。   Conventionally used pillows are generally made by filling stuffed bags made of various materials into an exterior cloth bag. Pillows made of plant material such as buckwheat husks and breads have good breathability to effectively absorb and dissipate heat and sweat from the head, but they are inferior in cushioning and in the head during use. Since the padding is shifted to the corner of the outer cloth bag due to the weight of the part and deformed into a state where the center part is recessed, it is not possible to promote a comfortable sleep while turning over in a natural state. In addition, pillows made from plant materials such as cotton and feathers or granular or ball-shaped inorganic materials have the advantage of maintaining a stable pillow shape that is easy to adjust to the head, but are inferior in breathability and elasticity. There are drawbacks. Furthermore, pillows made from materials made of chemical products such as urethane foam and plastic have a very good elasticity, but they are inferior in moisture permeability and heat storage, so they are easily stuffy. Heat and sweat from the head are easily trapped inside, and when the head is subjected to a load, it easily deforms and bottoms out easily. In other words, any pillow that has a structure in which the stuffing is simply filled in the exterior cloth bag has advantages and disadvantages depending on the type of stuffing, and a pillow that can promote a comfortable sleep cannot be obtained.

そこで、従来では種々の構造の枕が提案されており、その一つとして、熱可塑性樹脂からなる線径が5mm以下の連続した線条を曲がりくねらせることで形成したランダムループの互いに接触する各部分をそれぞれ融着することにより得られた立体構造網状体を、両面がフラット化された直方体に整形することで中芯を形成し、この中芯を、天然繊維または合成繊維のウェツブ層の両面を編織物で被ってキルティング縫製した袋状の側地で包み込んでなる枕が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。この袋は、載置された頭部による荷重を受ける中芯が、立体網状体であることから頭部に沿った形状に沈み込む状態に大きく弾性変形して、頭部および頸部を柔らかなタッチで把持するように支持でき、また、頭部による変形応力が解除されると中芯が自体の弾性力で元の状態に回復することができ、さらに、立体構造網状体である中芯が空隙率の高い構造であるのに伴って通気性が著しく良好であることから蒸れ難い特長がある。   Therefore, conventionally, pillows of various structures have been proposed, and as one of them, each of the random loops formed by winding a continuous filament having a diameter of 5 mm or less made of a thermoplastic resin and contacting each other. The three-dimensional structure network obtained by fusing each part is shaped into a rectangular parallelepiped flattened on both sides to form a core, and the core is formed on both surfaces of a natural fiber or synthetic fiber web layer. A pillow has been proposed that is wrapped with a knitted fabric and wrapped in a bag-like side fabric (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This bag is a three-dimensional mesh body that receives a load from the placed head, so it is greatly elastically deformed to sink into the shape along the head and softens the head and neck. The core can be supported by touching, and when the deformation stress due to the head is released, the core can be restored to its original state by its own elastic force. Along with the structure having a high porosity, the air permeability is remarkably good, so that there is a feature that it is difficult to be steamed.

また、従来に提案された他の枕として、或る程度の弾力性を有する半硬質の材料により直方体の板状に形成された芯材の外周面全体を軟質ウレタンフォームなどからなる軟質クッション材で包み込んだ状態で外装袋体の内部に収容し、外装袋体における頭部が載置される上面に、3〜5mm程度の粒径を有する細石を小袋体に充填してなる複数の放熱部を縫合したものが知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。この枕は、複数の放熱部の細石が使用者の頭部の熱を吸収することにより適度の清涼感が得られ、また、半硬質の芯材により大きな変形を防止して所要の枕実効高さを維持できるように図ったものである。さらに、この枕では、長手方向の一辺の中央部が内方に向けて凹んだ凹曲線部が形成されているともに、この凹曲線部の内部において仕切布の縫着によって設けられた空間に遠赤綿を収容して封止した構成が設けられている。これにより、この枕では、肩口に出来やすい寝具の隙間を凹曲線部が人体の頸部から両肩部にかけて接触して塞ぐことにより肩冷えを防止できるとともに、遠赤綿から放射される電磁波により良好な保温効果も得るように図っている。   In addition, as another conventionally proposed pillow, a soft cushion material made of soft urethane foam is used for the entire outer peripheral surface of the core material formed in a rectangular parallelepiped plate shape by a semi-rigid material having a certain degree of elasticity. A plurality of heat dissipating parts formed by filling a small bag body with fine stones having a particle size of about 3 to 5 mm on the upper surface on which the head portion of the exterior bag body is placed in a wrapped state. A stitched one is known (for example, see Patent Document 2). This pillow has a moderate cooling sensation by absorbing heat from the user's head with multiple heat sinks, and a semi-rigid core prevents large deformations to achieve the required pillow effective height. This is intended to maintain this. Further, in this pillow, a concave curve portion is formed in which the central portion of one side in the longitudinal direction is recessed inward, and the distance from the space provided by sewing the partition cloth inside the concave curve portion. The structure which accommodated and sealed red cotton is provided. As a result, in this pillow, it is possible to prevent the cooling of the shoulder by closing the gap of the bedding that is easy to be made at the shoulder and the concave curve part from the neck part of the human body to both shoulder parts and blocking it, and by electromagnetic waves radiated from far-red cotton It is intended to obtain a good heat retention effect.

さらに、従来では、使用者毎に形状が異なる頭部と頸椎を、それぞれ使用者に対応する正しい枕高さで支持できるように調整可能な枕も提案されている(例えば、特許文献3参
照)。この枕は、枕本体袋に詰め物が充填されて上面が人体の頭部から頸部への曲面に合致する形状に形成された枕本体を備え、この枕本体における頭部および頸部がそれぞれ載置される箇所に各々対向する下面部分に、頭部高さ調整用袋および頸部高さ調整用袋が一体的に形成され、この頭部高さ調整用袋および頸部高さ調整用袋にそれぞれ収容する高さ調整用パッドの数によって枕本体の頭部および頸椎を支持する高さを個別に調整できるようになっている。
Furthermore, conventionally, a pillow that can be adjusted so that the head and the cervical vertebra having different shapes for each user can be supported at the correct pillow height corresponding to the user has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3). . This pillow has a pillow body in which a pillow body bag is filled with padding and the upper surface is formed in a shape that matches the curved surface from the head of the human body to the neck, and the head and neck of the pillow body are respectively mounted. A head height adjusting bag and a neck height adjusting bag are integrally formed on the lower surface portion facing each other, and the head height adjusting bag and the neck height adjusting bag are integrally formed. The height for supporting the head of the pillow body and the cervical vertebra can be individually adjusted according to the number of height adjustment pads accommodated in each.

しかしながら、特許文献1〜3に係る各発明の枕には何れも改善すべき問題が残存している。すなわち、特許文献1に係る発明の枕は、上述したように、枕にとって必要な種々の機能を備えている特徴を有する反面、立体構造網状体からなる中芯を、繊維のウェツブ層の両面を編織物で被ってキルティング縫製した袋状の側地で包み込んだだけの構成であって、硬質または半硬質の支持用の部材が何ら存在しないことから、載置される頭部および頸部による変形応力の殆ど全部が中芯に付与されることになる。中芯は、自体が有する網状構造体の全体が変形して変形応力を低い反発力で受け止めるので、極端な局部的沈み込みが生じないが、頭部および頸部に対し把持力が柔らか過ぎて安定な支持とはなり難く、また、頭部および頸部の載置箇所やその重みが変わる毎に枕高さが変化し易く、枕高さを常に一定に維持することが難しい。   However, all of the pillows of the inventions according to Patent Documents 1 to 3 still have problems to be improved. That is, as described above, the pillow of the invention according to Patent Document 1 has various features necessary for the pillow, but on the other hand, the core composed of a three-dimensional network is formed on both sides of the fiber web layer. Deformation by the head and neck to be placed because there is no hard or semi-rigid support member because it is wrapped in a sack-like side cloth covered with knitted fabric and quilted. Almost all of the stress is applied to the core. The core core itself deforms and receives deformation stress with a low repulsive force, so extreme local sinking does not occur, but the gripping force is too soft for the head and neck. It is difficult to achieve stable support, and the pillow height is likely to change every time the mounting position of the head and neck and the weight thereof change, and it is difficult to keep the pillow height constant.

また、特許文献2に係る発明の枕は、上述したように、芯材により大きな変形を防止して所要の枕実効高さを維持できる利点があるが、半硬質の芯材と軟質ウレタンフォームなどからなる軟質クッション材との各々の弾力性のみで頭部や頸部を支持するだけであるから、弾力性が不足して頭部や頸部に馴染む好適な形状に弾性変形することができず、頭部や頸部の安定保持性が不十分であり、さらに、弾力性の不足により底つきし易くなって顎がせり上がって頸椎保持性が低下する問題もある。また、この枕は、放熱部の細石により良好な放熱性が得られるが、その放熱部の下方に配置された軟質ウレタンフォームなどの軟質クッション材が蓄熱性を有しているのに起因して蒸れ易い欠点がある。さらに、この枕に形成されている凹曲線部は、仰臥姿勢の使用者の頭部から両肩部にかけて接触することで肩冷えを防止することを想定して設けられたものであるから、横臥したときには、寝具が開いた隙間が肩口に出来易く、しかも、凹曲線部の存在によって睡眠中の自然な寝返りが妨げられることもある。一方、遠赤綿から放射される電磁波による保温効果は、寝返りなどによる位置のずれによって頭部に作用するような不具合な状態が生じるおそれもある。   In addition, as described above, the pillow of the invention according to Patent Document 2 has an advantage that it can prevent a large deformation by the core material and maintain the required pillow effective height, but a semi-hard core material and a flexible urethane foam, etc. Because it only supports the head and neck with the elasticity of each soft cushion material, it cannot be elastically deformed into a suitable shape that fits the head and neck due to insufficient elasticity. In addition, there is a problem in that the stability of the head and neck is insufficient, and the cervical vertebra retainability is lowered due to the lack of elasticity and the tendency to bottom out and the chin to rise. In addition, this pillow has good heat dissipation due to the fine stones of the heat radiating part, but because the soft cushion material such as soft urethane foam disposed below the heat radiating part has heat storage property There is a fault that is easy to get stuffy. Furthermore, the concave curve portion formed on the pillow is provided on the assumption that shoulder cooling is prevented by contacting from the head of the user in the supine posture to both shoulders. In this case, a gap in which the bedding is opened is easily formed in the shoulder and, in addition, the presence of the concave curve portion may prevent natural turnover during sleep. On the other hand, the heat retention effect by electromagnetic waves radiated from far-red cotton may cause a troubled state that acts on the head due to position shift due to turning over.

さらに、特許文献3に係る発明の枕は、頭部高さ調整用袋および頸部高さ調整用袋にそれぞれ収容する高さ調整用パッドの数によって枕本体の頭部および頸椎を支持する高さを個別に調整できるが、その調整作業は、頭部高さ調整用袋および頸部高さ調整用袋の各々の入口開閉用のスライドファスナーまたはベルクロスファスナーを開操作して入口を開き、その入口から所要枚数の高さ調整用パッドを挿入または取り出したのちに、ファスナーを閉操作して入口を閉じる手順で行う必要があり、作業が煩雑である。   Furthermore, the pillow according to the invention according to Patent Document 3 is a height that supports the head and cervical vertebrae of the pillow body by the number of height adjustment pads accommodated in the head height adjustment bag and the neck height adjustment bag, respectively. The height can be adjusted individually, but the adjustment work is to open the entrance by opening the slide fastener or Velcro fastener for opening and closing the entrance of each of the head height adjustment bag and the neck height adjustment bag. After inserting or taking out the required number of height adjusting pads from the entrance, it is necessary to perform the procedure of closing the entrance by closing the fastener, which is complicated.

このように、特許文献1〜3に係る各発明の枕は、何れも一長一短があって、蒸れ難い通気性、放熱性、頭部や頸部の安定保持性、弾力性、耐へたり性および所要の枕実効高さ
保持性などの枕として必須の機能の全てを併せ持った物が存在しなく、また、枕高さの調整が容易で、且つ見栄えの良い高さ調整手段や、寝返りをうった際にも安定に肩冷えを防止できる肩冷え防止機能を有した物も存在しない。さらに、従来において提案されている枕には、迎臥する人体の後頭部および頸部をそれぞれ支持できる形状に予め形成された支持部が上面中央部に配設されているとともに、この両側位置に横臥する人体の横頭部の支持部が形成されたものが多いが、このような枕は、迎臥で睡眠中に自然な動作でスムーズに寝返りをうって横臥することができ難く、しかも、迎臥と横臥とで枕高さが異なり易いので、快適な安眠を促進することができない。
As described above, each of the pillows of the inventions according to Patent Documents 1 to 3 has advantages and disadvantages, breathability, heat dissipation, stability of head and neck stability, elasticity, sag resistance and There are no pillows that have all the essential functions of pillows, such as the required pillow effective height retention, and the height of the pillow is easy to adjust and looks good. There is also no object that has a function to prevent the cooling of the shoulder even when the shoulder is cold. Further, in the pillow proposed in the past, a support portion formed in advance so as to be able to support the occipital region and neck portion of the human body to be welcomed is disposed in the center of the upper surface, and lying on both sides. Many of these pillows are formed with support for the side of the human body, but such pillows are difficult to lie down with a natural turn during a sleep. Since the height of the pillow is different between the heel and the bubo, it is not possible to promote a comfortable sleep.

本発明は、蒸れ難い通気性、放熱性、頭部や頸部の安定保持性、弾力性、耐へたり性および所要の枕実効高さ保持性などの機能を併せ持った枕、さらには前記機能に加えて、容易な操作で枕高さを調節でき、且つ見栄えの良い外観を備えた枕高さ調節手段および寝返りをうった際にも安定に肩冷えを防止できる肩冷え防止機能を備えた枕を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention provides a pillow having functions such as breathability, heat dissipation, stability of head and neck stability, elasticity, sag resistance and required pillow effective height retention, and further In addition, the pillow height can be adjusted with easy operation, and the pillow height adjustment means has a good-looking appearance, as well as a function to prevent shoulder cooling even when turning over. The purpose is to provide a pillow.

上記目的を達成するために、請求項1に係る発明の枕は、可塑性を有する軽量な素材により500〜700mmの長さと人体の頭部および頸部を載置できる幅と頭部および頸部の載置による荷重に応じて湾曲状に撓むことができる厚みとを有する直方体に形成された枕芯体と、前記枕芯体の厚みの1/5〜3/5の厚みを有して当該枕芯体の少なくとも上面全体を覆うように配設された軟質海綿状シート材と、熱可塑性弾性樹脂からなる連続した線条を曲がりくねらせることで形作られたランダムループの各接触部の大部分を互いに接続してなる立体構造の網状体が、前記枕芯体とほぼ同じ長さと幅を有し、且つ前記枕芯体の厚みよりも僅かに小さい厚みを有する直方体に形成されてなり、前記軟質海綿状シート材を介在して前記枕芯体の上面に積層された立体構造クッション体と、前記枕芯体、前記軟質海綿状シート材および前記立体構造クッション体を積層した状態で内部に収納した外装布とを備えてなることを特徴としている。   In order to achieve the above object, the pillow according to the first aspect of the present invention has a length of 500 to 700 mm, a width on which the head and neck of a human body can be placed, and a width of the head and neck of a lightweight material having plasticity.

請求項4に係る発明の枕は、請求項3に係る発明において、積層状態の前記枕芯体、前記軟質海綿状シート材および前記立体構造クッション体をこれらの両側面に前記2つの保
温部材がそれぞれ当て付けられた状態で外装布の内部に収納して枕本体部が形成されているとともに、当該枕本体部の下面に高さ調節部が設けられ、前記高さ調節部が、前記枕芯体とほぼ同等の長さと幅とを有する偏平な板状の複数枚の高さ調節シート材と、伸縮性に優れた生地の長方形の幅方向の両側辺が前記外装布の下面に縫着されて前記外装布の下面との間で前記高さ調節シート材を保持する調節材収容袋とを備えてなり、前記調節材収容袋の長さ方向の両端部が複数枚重ねに折り返えされて、その折り返し部が互いに縫着されることにより幅方向に向け帯状に延びる蓋状片が形成され、この蓋状片の長さ方向の両端辺が前記外装布の下面に縫着されている。
The pillow according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the pillow according to the third aspect, wherein the two core members, the soft sponge-like sheet material, and the three-dimensional structure cushion body are laminated on the both side surfaces of the pillow core body in the laminated state. A pillow main body is formed by being housed inside the exterior cloth in a state of being respectively applied, and a height adjusting portion is provided on the lower surface of the pillow main body, and the height adjusting portion is the pillow core. A plurality of flat plate-like height adjustment sheet materials having a length and width substantially the same as the body, and both sides in the width direction of the rectangle of the fabric excellent in elasticity are sewn to the lower surface of the exterior cloth. And an adjustment material containing bag for holding the height adjusting sheet material between the lower surface of the exterior cloth, and both end portions in the length direction of the adjustment material containing bag are folded back into a plurality of layers. The folded parts are sewn together to form a band shape in the width direction. The lid-shaped pieces are formed to extend, across the sides of the length direction of the lid-like piece is sewn to the lower surface of the outer fabric.

請求項1に係る枕によれば、外装布を介して頭部が直接的に載置される部分に配置された立体構造クッション体は、載置される頭部および頸部の荷重による変形応力を立体構造網状体のフラット化された上面に受け止めて変形応力を分散化させるとともに、構造体全体が変形したエネルギー変換により変形応力を吸収させることにより弾性による低い反発力で変形応力を受け止めるので、頭部による荷重に対し大きい沈み込みを付与できるにもかかわらず、極端な局部的沈み込みが防止されて、頭部および頸部を柔らかなタッチの把持力で支えられるように弾性変形する。また、立体構造クッション体は、頭部の荷重による変形応力が解除されると熱可塑性弾性樹脂の弾性で容易に元の形態に回復するので、常に同じ形状を長期間にわたり維持し、高い耐へたれ性を有している。しかも、立体構造クッション体は、立体構造の網状体であることから通気性に優れているのに加えて、立体構造クッション体が圧縮形状に変形される際に内部に溜まった蒸気や熱を含む空気を排出し、且つ圧縮形状から回復される際に内部に新鮮な外気と入れ換えるポンプ機能を有して放熱性にも優れているため、蒸れ難くい快適な寝心地が得られる。   According to the pillow according to claim 1, the three-dimensional structure cushion body arranged at the portion where the head is directly placed via the outer cloth is deformed by the load of the placed head and neck. Is received on the flattened upper surface of the three-dimensional structure network to disperse the deformation stress, and the deformation stress is received by the low repulsive force due to elasticity by absorbing the deformation stress by the energy conversion of the entire structure, In spite of being able to give a large subsidence to the load by the head, extreme local subsidence is prevented and the head and neck are elastically deformed so as to be supported by a soft touch gripping force. In addition, when the deformation stress due to the load on the head is released, the three-dimensional structure cushion body easily recovers to its original form due to the elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin. It has sex. Moreover, since the three-dimensional cushion body is a three-dimensional mesh body, it has excellent breathability, and also contains steam and heat accumulated inside when the three-dimensional cushion body is deformed into a compressed shape. Since it has a pumping function that discharges air and replaces it with fresh outside air when it is recovered from the compressed shape and has excellent heat dissipation, it is possible to obtain a comfortable sleeping comfort that is difficult to stuffy.

また、立体構造クッション体の下部と枕芯体の上面との間に介在された軟質海綿状シート体は、頭部が載置されたときに、立体構造クッション体の変形に対応して弾性変形するから、弾力性の底うち感が無くなって一層良好なクッション性を確保することができる。また、軟質海綿状シート体は、立体構造クッション体が弾性変形したときにその変形状態に保持するように作用するので、頭部および頸部の安定保持性が一層向上する。   Further, the soft sponge sheet interposed between the lower part of the three-dimensional structure cushion body and the upper surface of the pillow core body is elastically deformed corresponding to the deformation of the three-dimensional structure cushion body when the head is placed. Therefore, there is no feeling of the bottom of elasticity, and a better cushioning property can be secured. In addition, the soft sponge-like sheet body acts to hold the three-dimensional structure cushion body in the deformed state when elastically deformed, so that the stability of head and neck stability is further improved.

さらに、枕芯体は、大きな変形が生じるのを阻止して、常に所定の枕高さを長期間にわたり安定に維持するように機能する。また、この枕は、500〜700mmの長さを有する直方体であって、その長さ方向において一様な構成になっているから、睡眠中に何ら拘束を受けることなくスムーズに寝返りをうつことができるとともに、その寝返りをうった何れの箇所においても頭部および頸部が安定に保持される。特に、枕芯体は、左右に自由に寝返りをうてる比較的長い長さを有しているとともに、容易に凹まない硬質素材である可塑性の素材で形成されているが、500〜700mmと比較的長いことから、頭部の荷重により敷布団が沈み込むのに対応して湾曲形状に撓むことができ、これよっても頭部が一層自然な状態で保持される。   Further, the pillow core body functions to prevent a large deformation from occurring and always maintain a predetermined pillow height stably over a long period of time. In addition, this pillow is a rectangular parallelepiped having a length of 500 to 700 mm, and has a uniform configuration in the length direction. Therefore, the pillow can be smoothly turned over without any restriction during sleep. In addition, the head and neck can be stably held at any place where the roll is over. In particular, the pillow core has a relatively long length that can be turned over to the left and right, and is formed of a plastic material that is a hard material that does not easily dent, but it is compared with 500 to 700 mm. Therefore, it can bend into a curved shape in response to the mattress sinking due to the load on the head, and the head is still held in a more natural state.

請求項2に係る枕によれば、枕芯体の厚みの1/10〜3/10の厚みを有するウレタンフォームからなる軟質海綿状シート材が、枕芯体の外周面に対し上面が2重重ねになる被覆状態に巻き付けられているので、頭部を載置したときのクッション性が一層向上して、頭部を安定に保持することができる。   According to the pillow according to claim 2, the upper surface of the soft sponge-like sheet material made of urethane foam having a thickness of 1/10 to 3/10 of the thickness of the pillow core is doubled with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the pillow core. Since it is wound around the covering state, the cushioning property when the head is placed is further improved, and the head can be stably held.

請求項3に係る枕によれば、請求項1に係る発明と同様の効果が得られるのに加えて、収納袋の内部に天然綿のような自在に変形する保温材を充満してなる2つの保温部材が、全体として直方体状に積層された枕芯体、軟質海綿シート材および立体構造クッション体の全体の両側面に当て付けられているので、直方体形状に沿って左右何れの方向へも自在に寝返りをうてるとともに、何れの方向へ寝返りをうった場合にも保温部材の保温材が肩
および頸部に確実に接触することになるので、肩冷えを効果的に防止できるとともに頸部を保温することができる。また、保温部材が幅方向の両側に配設されているので、使用する場合に方向性がなくなり、何れか一方の保温部材を頸部および肩に確実に接触させることができる。
According to the pillow according to claim 3, in addition to obtaining the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 1, the inside of the storage bag is filled with a heat insulating material that is freely deformed, such as natural cotton. Since two heat retaining members are applied to both sides of the pillow core body, the soft sponge sheet material, and the three-dimensional structure cushion body, which are laminated in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, both the left and right directions along the rectangular parallelepiped shape You can turn over freely, and even if you turn over in any direction, the heat insulating material of the heat insulating member will surely come into contact with the shoulder and neck, so it is possible to effectively prevent cold shoulder and neck Can keep warm. Further, since the heat retaining members are disposed on both sides in the width direction, the directionality is lost when used, and either one of the heat retaining members can be reliably brought into contact with the neck and the shoulder.

請求項4に係る枕によれば、高さ調節部による枕高さの調節は、伸縮性に優れた生地からなる調節材収容袋に形成された蓋状片を把持して引き出した状態で調節材収容袋と外装布との間に所要枚数の高さ調節シート材を挿入または引き出し、その後に蓋状片の把持を解除すれば、蓋状片は、帯状の長さ方向の両端辺が外装布の下面に縫着されているのに伴って長さ方向両側に向け付与されている引っ張り力により、調節材収容袋と外装布との間の入口を塞ぐ状態に保持される。このため、この枕では、従来の枕のようにファスナーの開閉操作を伴う枕高さ調節を行う場合と比較して、枕高さの調節を容易に行うことができ、しかも、調節材収容袋の一部を利用して形成した蓋状片により高さ調節部の入口を塞ぐことができるので、外観上、見栄えの良いものとなる。   According to the pillow according to claim 4, the adjustment of the pillow height by the height adjusting portion is adjusted in a state where the lid-like piece formed on the adjusting material containing bag made of fabric having excellent stretchability is grasped and pulled out. Insert or pull out the required number of height adjustment sheet materials between the material storage bag and the exterior cloth, and then release the gripping of the lid-like piece. The entrance between the adjustment material accommodation bag and the exterior fabric is closed by the pulling force applied to both sides in the length direction as it is sewn to the lower surface of the fabric. For this reason, in this pillow, it is possible to easily adjust the pillow height as compared to the case of performing the pillow height adjustment with the opening and closing operation of the fastener as in the conventional pillow, and the adjustment material accommodation bag Since the entrance of the height adjusting portion can be closed by the lid-like piece formed by using a part of this, the appearance is good.

以下、本発明の好ましい実施形態について図面を参照しながら詳述する。図1は本発明の第1実施形態に係る枕を示す斜視図であり、この枕は、全体として略直方体の外観を呈する枕本体部1の下面に高さ調節部2が設けられた構成になっている。略直方体の枕本体部1は、長さLが約600mm、幅Wが約270mm、高さHが約60mm程度の寸法に設定されている。枕本体部1の長さLは、中央部に後頭部を乗せた仰臥姿勢の睡眠者がその状態から左右にそれぞれ自然に寝返りをうって容易に横臥姿勢をとることができる長さ寸法に設定されている。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pillow according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This pillow has a configuration in which a height adjusting portion 2 is provided on the lower surface of a pillow main body portion 1 that has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped appearance as a whole. It has become. The substantially rectangular parallelepiped pillow main body 1 has a length L of about 600 mm, a width W of about 270 mm, and a height H of about 60 mm. The length L of the pillow main body 1 is set to a length dimension that allows a sleeper in a supine posture with the back of the head in the center to easily lie down from side to side and take a lying posture easily. ing.

図2および図3は図1のA−A線断面図およびB−B線断面図をそれぞれ示す。枕本体部1は、綿100%の布地を縫製してなる外装布3で覆われている。すなわち、枕本体部1の全ての構成要素が外装布3の内部に収容されている。枕本体部1の下方に内装された枕芯体4は、加圧を受けても容易に凹まない可塑性を有する軽量な素材、例えば発砲樹脂により形成されており、この実施形態において、長さが600mm、幅が180mm、厚みが25mmの平板状を直方体に形成されている。この枕芯体4は、上述のように凹まないが、長さが600mmで幅が180mmの比較的細長い長方形の平面形状を有し、且つ厚みが25mmと比較的薄いことから、上方から頭部の荷重を受けたときに、その荷重に応じた湾曲形状に撓むことができる。   2 and 3 show a cross-sectional view taken along line AA and a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 1, respectively. The pillow main body 1 is covered with an exterior cloth 3 formed by sewing a 100% cotton cloth. That is, all the components of the pillow main body 1 are accommodated in the exterior cloth 3. The pillow core body 4 mounted below the pillow main body 1 is made of a lightweight material having plasticity that does not easily dent even when pressurized, such as a foaming resin. In this embodiment, the length is A flat plate shape of 600 mm, a width of 180 mm, and a thickness of 25 mm is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped. Although this pillow core body 4 is not recessed as described above, it has a relatively elongated rectangular planar shape having a length of 600 mm and a width of 180 mm, and has a relatively thin thickness of 25 mm. Can be bent into a curved shape corresponding to the load.

前記枕芯体4の外周面全体には、例えばウレタンフォーム等からなる軟質海綿状シート体7が約1回り半周巻き付けられている。この実施形態において、軟質海綿状シート体7は、長さ方向が630mm、幅方向が670mm、厚みが5mmの形状に設定されている。この軟質海綿状シート体7は、枕芯体4の上面および両側面に2重重ねで、且つ枕芯体4の下面に一重でそれぞれ被覆する状態に巻き付けられる。すなわち、軟質海綿状シート体7は、枕芯体4の厚みに対し1/5の厚みのものを用いて、少なくとも枕芯体4の上面を二重重ねで覆う配置で設けられる。   A soft sponge-like sheet body 7 made of, for example, urethane foam or the like is wound around the entire outer peripheral surface of the pillow core body 4 about a half turn. In this embodiment, the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 is set in a shape having a length direction of 630 mm, a width direction of 670 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm. The soft sponge-like sheet body 7 is wound in such a manner that the upper surface and both side surfaces of the pillow core body 4 are overlapped and the lower surface of the pillow core body 4 is covered by a single layer. That is, the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 is provided so as to cover at least the top surface of the pillow core body 4 with a double overlap by using a material having a thickness of 1/5 with respect to the thickness of the pillow core body 4.

枕芯体4の上面には、二重重ねの軟質海綿状シート体7を介在して立体構造クッション体8が対置されている。この立体構造クッション体8は、熱可塑性弾性樹脂からなる連続した線条を曲がりくねらせることで形作られたランダムループの各接触部の大部分が互いに接続されることにより、天然へちまの繊維を模した立体構造の網状体に形成され、外周面に被覆された軟質海綿状シート体7を含む枕芯体4の外形とほぼ同じ寸法の外形を有する直方体に形成されて、少なくとも上面および下面がフラット化されている。この立体構造クッション体8は、外部から変形応力が与えられたときに、全体が変形してエネルギ変換により変形応力を受け止めることにより、極端な局部的沈み込みが生じなく、また、変形応力が解除されると自体の弾性により容易に元の形態に回復する機能を有している。また、立体構造クッション体8は、立体構造の網状体に形成されていることから通気性が著しく良好である。   On the upper surface of the pillow core body 4, a three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is disposed so as to interpose a double-stacked soft sponge sheet body 7. This three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is made by imitating fibers of natural puncture by connecting most of the contact portions of random loops formed by winding continuous filaments made of thermoplastic elastic resin to each other. Formed into a rectangular parallelepiped having an outer shape substantially the same as the outer shape of the pillow core body 4 including the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 formed on the outer peripheral surface and formed into a reticular structure having a three-dimensional structure. It has become. This three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is deformed as a whole when receiving deformation stress from the outside, and receives deformation stress by energy conversion, so that extreme local subduction does not occur, and the deformation stress is released. Then, it has a function of easily recovering to its original form due to its own elasticity. Further, since the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is formed as a three-dimensional network, the air permeability is remarkably good.

軟質海綿状シート体7で被覆された枕芯体4および立体構造クッション体8の両側位置には、2つの保温部材9,9が軟質海綿状シート体7および立体構造クッション体8にそれぞれ当て付ける配置で設けられている。保温部材9は、直径が約60mmで長さが約600mmの円筒状の綿100%の収納袋10の内部に、天然綿、パンヤまたは真綿などの保温材11を充満状態に挿入して形成されたものである。この保温部材9は、外装布3と軟質海綿状シート体7および立体構造クッション体8との間に挟み込まれることにより、軟質海綿状シート体7および立体構造クッション体8に当て付けられる形状に変形する。なお、外装布3の長さ方向(図2の左右方向)の両端部には、二枚重ねに突出させた状態で縫い付けることにより把持片1aが形成されており、この把持片1aは枕の持ち運び時に利用される。   Two heat retaining members 9 and 9 are respectively applied to the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 and the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 on both sides of the pillow core body 4 and the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 covered with the soft sponge-like sheet body 7. It is provided by arrangement. The heat insulating member 9 is formed by inserting a heat insulating material 11 such as natural cotton, bread, or cotton into a filled state in a cylindrical 100% cotton storage bag 10 having a diameter of about 60 mm and a length of about 600 mm. It is a thing. The heat retaining member 9 is deformed into a shape applied to the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 and the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 by being sandwiched between the outer cloth 3 and the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 and the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8. To do. A grip piece 1a is formed on both ends of the outer cloth 3 in the length direction (left and right direction in FIG. 2) by sewing in a state where the two pieces overlap each other, and the grip piece 1a is used for carrying a pillow. Sometimes used.

高さ調節部2は、伸縮性に優れた生地、例えばニット生地の幅方向の両側部が外装布3の下面に縫い付けられて外装布3との間に高さ調節シート材13を収容する調節材収容袋12と、この調節材収容袋12内に任意に選定された枚数だけ収容される高さ調節シート材13とにより構成されている。高さ調節シート材13としては、例えば5mmの厚みを有するポリエチレンシート等を好適に用いることができる。調節材収容袋12は、図2において、図示便宜上、長さ方向(図2の左右方向)の両端部を二つ折りした場合を例示しているが、実際には、図6(a)に示すように、両端部が2回折り返されており、その第2折り返し部12aにおける3枚重ねの生地および第1折り返し部12cにおける2枚重ねの生地がそれぞれ互いに縫い付けられている。その縫着部は×印で図示してある。これにより、第1折り返し部12aの内方側には、生地を2枚重ねして帯状とされた蓋状片12bが形成されている。この蓋状片12bは、帯状の長さ方向(図3の左右方向)の両端辺が、図6(a)に縫着部を×印で図示するように、外装布3に縫い付けられている。このように、高さ調節部2は、伸縮性に優れた生地からなる調節材収容袋12の一部を利用して一体形成された蓋状片12bを把持して引き出した状態で調節材収容袋12と外装布3との間に所要枚数の高さ調節シート材13を挿入または引き出し、その後に蓋状片12bの把持を解除すれば、蓋状片12bは、帯状の長さ方向の両端辺が外装布3の下面に縫着されているのに伴って長さ方向両側に向け付与されている引っ張り力により、調節材収容袋12と外装布3との間の入口を塞ぐ状態に保持される。このため、この枕では、従来の枕のようにファスナーの開閉操作を伴う枕高さ調節を行う場合と比較して、枕高さの調節を容易に行うことができ、しかも、調節材収容袋12の一部を利用して形成した蓋状片12bにより高さ調節部2の入口を内部の高さ調節シート材13を隠蔽する状態に塞ぐことができるので、外観上、見栄えの良いものとなる。   The height adjusting unit 2 accommodates the height adjusting sheet material 13 between the outer fabric 3 by sewing both sides in the width direction of a fabric excellent in elasticity, for example, a knit fabric, to the lower surface of the outer fabric 3. The adjusting material accommodation bag 12 and the height adjusting sheet material 13 accommodated in the adjusting material accommodation bag 12 by an arbitrarily selected number of sheets are constituted. As the height adjustment sheet material 13, for example, a polyethylene sheet having a thickness of 5 mm can be suitably used. In FIG. 2, for the sake of convenience of illustration, the adjustment material containing bag 12 is illustrated in a case where both end portions in the length direction (left and right direction in FIG. 2) are folded in half. Thus, both ends are folded twice, and the three-layered fabric in the second folded portion 12a and the two-layered fabric in the first folded portion 12c are sewn together. The sewn portion is indicated by a cross. As a result, a lid-like piece 12b is formed on the inner side of the first folded portion 12a. The lid-like piece 12b is sewn to the outer cloth 3 so that both ends in the belt-like length direction (left and right direction in FIG. 3) are sewn in FIG. 6 (a). Yes. As described above, the height adjustment unit 2 accommodates the adjustment material in a state where the lid-shaped piece 12b integrally formed using a part of the adjustment material accommodation bag 12 made of fabric having excellent stretchability is grasped and pulled out. If the required number of height adjusting sheet members 13 are inserted or pulled out between the bag 12 and the outer cloth 3, and then the cover-like piece 12b is released from the grip, the cover-like piece 12b has both ends in the belt-like length direction. The entrance between the accommodation bag 12 and the exterior cloth 3 is kept closed by the pulling force applied to both sides in the length direction as the sides are sewn to the lower surface of the exterior cloth 3. Is done. For this reason, in this pillow, it is possible to easily adjust the pillow height as compared to the case of performing the pillow height adjustment with the opening and closing operation of the fastener as in the conventional pillow, and the adjustment material accommodation bag Since the entrance of the height adjusting portion 2 can be closed by the lid-shaped piece 12b formed by using a part of the cover 12 in a state of concealing the internal height adjusting sheet material 13, the appearance is good. Become.

つぎに、前記実施形態の枕が有する機能について説明する。この枕は、外装布3を介して頭部が直接的に載置される部分に立体構造クッション体8が配置されており、この立体構造クッション体8は、上述のように、天然へちまの繊維を模した立体構造の網状体にな
っているため、載置される頭部の荷重による変形応力を、網状体のフラット化された上面に受け止めて変形応力を分散化させるとともに、構造体全体が変形したエネルギー変換により変形応力を吸収させることにより弾性による低い反発力で変形応力を受け止めるので、図4および図5に示すように、頭部による荷重に対し大きい沈み込みを付与できるにもかかわらず、極端な局部的沈み込みが防止されて、頭部および頸部を柔らかなタッチの把持力で支えるように弾性変形する。
Next, functions of the pillow according to the embodiment will be described. In this pillow, a three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is arranged at a portion where the head is directly placed via the exterior cloth 3, and the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is made of natural hemp fibers as described above. As a result, the deformation stress due to the load of the head to be placed is received on the flattened upper surface of the mesh body to disperse the deformation stress, and the entire structure is Since the deformation stress is absorbed by the deformed energy conversion and the deformation stress is received with a low repulsive force due to elasticity, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Extreme local sinking is prevented, and the head and neck are elastically deformed to support with a soft touch gripping force.

また、立体構造クッション体8は、頭部の荷重による変形応力が解除されると熱可塑性弾性樹脂が有する弾性で容易に元の形態に回復するので、常に同じ形状を長期間にわたり維持することができ、高い耐へたり性を有している。しかも、立体構造クッション体8は、空隙率が高く、通気孔径が著しく大きいのに伴って通気性が極めて良好であり、さらに、圧縮形状に変形される際に内部に溜まった蒸気や熱を含む空気を排出し、且つ圧縮形状から回復される際に内部を新鮮な外気と入れ換えるようなポンプ機能を有しているため、通気性に加えて放熱性にも優れ、蒸れ難くい快適な寝心地が得られる。   Further, the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 is easily restored to its original form by the elasticity of the thermoplastic elastic resin when the deformation stress due to the load on the head is released, so that the same shape can always be maintained for a long time. It has high sag resistance. In addition, the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 has a high porosity, extremely good air permeability as the air hole diameter is remarkably large, and further contains steam and heat accumulated inside when deformed into a compressed shape. Since it has a pump function that exhausts air and replaces the inside with fresh outside air when recovered from the compressed shape, it has excellent heat dissipation as well as breathability, and it is comfortable to sleep and comfortable to sleep can get.

また、立体構造クッション体8の下部と枕芯体4の上面との間には、二枚重ねの軟質海綿状シート体7が介在されており、この軟質海綿状シート体7は、頭部が載置されたときに、立体構造クッション体8の変形に対応して弾性変形するから、弾力性の底うち感が無くなって一層良好なクッション性を確保することができる。また、軟質海綿状シート体7は、立体構造クッション体8が弾性変形したときにその変形状態に保持するように作用するので、頭部および頸部の安定保持性が一層向上する。   Further, a two-layered soft sponge-like sheet body 7 is interposed between the lower part of the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 and the upper surface of the pillow core body 4, and the head of the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 is placed. When it is done, it is elastically deformed corresponding to the deformation of the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8, so that there is no feeling of the bottom of the elasticity, and a better cushioning property can be secured. Moreover, since the soft sponge-like sheet body 7 acts to hold the three-dimensional structure cushion body 8 in an elastically deformed state, the stability of the head and neck is further improved.

枕本体部1の下部に配置された枕芯体4は、大きな荷重により枕本体部1に大きな変形が生じるのを阻止されており、常に所定の枕高さを長期間にわたり安定に維持するように機能する。一方、この枕は、中央部に後頭部を乗せた仰臥姿勢の睡眠者がその状態から左右にそれぞれ自然に寝返りをうって横臥姿勢をとることができる比較的長い寸法に設定さされているとともに、頭部が載置される上面が一様なフラット面に形成されているので、睡眠中に何ら拘束を受けることなく自由に寝返りをうつことができる。また、枕芯体4は、左右に自由に寝返りをうてる比較的長い長さを有していることから、容易に凹まない硬質素材でありながらも、人体の荷重により敷布団が沈み込むのに対応して湾曲形状に撓むことができ、頭部が一層自然な状態で保持される。   The pillow core body 4 arranged at the lower part of the pillow body 1 is prevented from being greatly deformed in the pillow body 1 by a large load, and always maintains a predetermined pillow height stably over a long period of time. To work. On the other hand, this pillow is set to a relatively long dimension that allows a sleeper in a supine posture with the back of the head in the center to take a lying posture by turning over naturally from its state to the left and right, respectively, Since the upper surface on which the head is placed is formed in a uniform flat surface, it is possible to turn over freely without any restriction during sleep. Moreover, since the pillow core body 4 has a relatively long length that can be turned over to the left and right freely, the mattress sinks due to the load of the human body even though it is a hard material that does not easily dent. Correspondingly, it can be bent into a curved shape, and the head is held in a more natural state.

また、図4に明示するように、幅方向の両側において長さ方向に配置された保温部材9は、枕本体部1の立体構造クッション体8の上方に頭部が載置されたときに、首や肩にフイットするように変形しながら首や肩に接触するので、睡眠中に肩口にでき易い隙間から空気が流入することによる肩冷えを防止できるとともに、保温部材9の保温材11により頸部を保温することができる。しかも、この枕は、図5に示すように、横臥姿勢に寝返りをうったときにも、枕本体部1の全体が直方体状であることから、やはり、保温部材9は首や肩にフイットするように変形しながら首や肩に接触する。   In addition, as clearly shown in FIG. 4, the heat retaining member 9 arranged in the length direction on both sides in the width direction has the head placed above the three-dimensional cushion body 8 of the pillow body 1. Since the neck and shoulders are deformed so as to fit into the neck and shoulders, the shoulder and the shoulder can be prevented from being cooled by air flowing in through a gap that can easily be made in the shoulder opening during sleep. The part can be kept warm. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, when the pillow is turned over to the lying position, the entire pillow body 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, so that the heat retaining member 9 fits to the neck and shoulders. It touches the neck and shoulder while deforming.

さらに、この枕では、非常に薄い高さ調節シート材13の枚数の選定により枕使用者にとって好適な枕高さに調節できるようになっているが、この高さ調節部2は、ジッパーまたはスライドファスナーやベルクロスファスナーなどを設けた従来の高さ調節構造とは異なり、伸縮性に優れたニット生地などからなる調節材収容袋12を伸縮させるだけで所要枚数の高さ調節シート材13を調節材収容袋12内に収容することができるとともに、調節材収容袋12の長さ方向の両側の一部を利用して形成した帯状の蓋状片12bにより、内部の高さ調節シート材13を隠蔽し、且つ調節材収容袋12から各高さ調節シート材13が脱落しない状態に調節材収容袋12の開口を塞ぐことができ、見栄えの良いものとなる。   Furthermore, in this pillow, the height adjustment unit 2 can be adjusted to a pillow height suitable for the pillow user by selecting the number of the very thin height adjustment sheet members 13. Unlike conventional height adjustment structures provided with fasteners, Velcro fasteners, etc., the required number of height adjustment sheet materials 13 can be adjusted by simply expanding / contracting the adjustment material containing bag 12 made of knit fabric having excellent elasticity. The inside height adjustment sheet material 13 is concealed by the band-like lid-like pieces 12b that can be accommodated in the accommodation bag 12 and are formed by using a part of both sides in the length direction of the adjustment material accommodation bag 12. In addition, the opening of the adjustment material accommodation bag 12 can be closed so that the height adjustment sheet material 13 does not fall off from the adjustment material accommodation bag 12, so that the appearance is good.

図6(a)に示すように、高さ調節シート材13を1枚も収容しない場合には、伸縮性に優れた調節材収容袋部12が外装布3の下面に重なる状態となるだけであり、何ら不具合が生じない。図6(b)は3枚の高さ調節シート材13を収容した状態を示し、図6(c)は5枚の高さ調節シート材13を収容した状態を示している。高さ調節部2は、高さ調節シート材13の収容枚数にかかわらず、伸縮性を有する蓋状片12bが、調節材収容袋部12と外装布3とからなる高さ調節部2の入口を塞ぐ形状に変形して、内部に収容している高さ調節シート材13を脱落しないように保持する。   As shown in FIG. 6A, when no height adjusting sheet material 13 is accommodated, the adjusting material accommodating bag portion 12 having excellent stretchability is merely overlaid on the lower surface of the outer cloth 3. There is no problem. FIG. 6B shows a state in which three height adjusting sheet members 13 are accommodated, and FIG. 6C shows a state in which five height adjusting sheet members 13 are accommodated. Regardless of the number of stored height adjusting sheet members 13, the height adjusting unit 2 has an elastic lid-like piece 12 b composed of the adjusting material storing bag unit 12 and the exterior cloth 3. The height adjusting sheet material 13 housed inside is held so as not to drop off.
