Description

  The present invention relates to a multifunctional pillow capable of selecting height, hardness and the like.

Conventionally, what was described in patent document 1 as what can select height and hardness with one pillow is known, for example.
This pillow differs in thickness and hardness, and three substantially cylindrical bags of equal length are arranged, and the surface is wrapped with an intermediate sheet and integrated. The three bags have different thicknesses. The maximum thickness bag is filled with resin and elastic beads, the intermediate thickness bag is filled with polyester cotton, and the minimum thickness bag is filled with feathers.

  The three bags arranged in a row and the back surface of the middle sheet are fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener, and further housed in a pillow case with a fastener so that it can be used as a pillow. And the height and the hardness of each part of the pillow in the height direction of a person change by changing the arrangement and number of the plurality of bags, and can be adjusted.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-31533

However, in the pillow described in Patent Document 1 described above, when changing the height and hardness of the pillow, there are only two types of options with only three bags, and since the pillow case covers the pillow, the hardness and height are visually checked. I couldn't recognize the difference. In addition, changing the material filled in the bag in order to change the height and hardness of the pillow has the disadvantage of increasing costs.
In addition, if a bag portion is added in order to adjust the height and hardness of each part of the pillow in the height direction, the number of the arrayed bag portions becomes long, so that there is a disadvantage that the pillow becomes large and the usability is deteriorated.

  An object of this invention is to provide the pillow which enabled selection of more height and hardness with one pillow in view of such a subject.

The pillow according to the present invention is formed such that three or more bag portions arranged on the front surface side and three or more bag portions arranged on the back surface side face each other, and the front surface side and the back surface are formed. The side bag portions are different in height from each other, and the central bag portion is formed at a lower height than the bag portions on both sides.
According to the present invention, if the user selectively places the cervical vertebra of the head on either the bag portion having the highest height on the front surface side or the back surface side and the bag portion having an intermediate height, the highest height in the center. Since the back of the head is seated in one or more small bag portions, the head can sit well and sleep well, and at least four types of height and hardness can be selected on the front and back sides of one pillow. Can be used.
In addition, if you fold the pillow in a substantially U shape with one or more bags with the smallest height in the center, you can reduce the pressure on the shoulder when you lie down sideways. Either of these can be selected and used.

Moreover, you may make it the structure where the hardness of each bag part of a surface side is smaller than the hardness of each bag part of a back surface side.
Thereby, not only the height of the pillow but also the hardness can be selected and used on the front and back sides.

Moreover, the cover which covers one surface of a surface and a back surface is attached, and this cover is good also as reversible so that the other surface may be covered from one surface.
By attaching a cover to one side of the front and back of the pillow, a coolant to cool the head between the cover and the bag, a pad or cloth sheet to adjust the pillow height steplessly, etc. Can be inserted. In addition, since the cover can selectively cover the front and back surfaces of the pillow, there is an advantage that the configuration is simple and easy to use.

  According to the pillow according to the present invention, each of the three or more bag portions on the front surface side and the back surface side is different in height from each other, and the central bag portion is smaller than the bag portions on both sides thereof. If you place the cervical vertebra of the head in either the highest bag or the middle bag, the back of the head sits in one or more bags with the lowest height in the center, so the head sits well, Any one of at least four kinds of height and hardness can be selected and used on the front side and the back side of one pillow. Moreover, if it folds in the bag part with the smallest height in the center of the pillow, it can reduce the pressure of the shoulder part when lying down sideways, so it can be used in any of five types of height and hardness.

It is the perspective view which looked at the pillow by the embodiment of the present invention from the surface side. It is an end view of the pillow shown in FIG. It is the perspective view which looked at the pillow shown in FIG. 1 from the back surface side. It is an end view of the state which bent the pillow by embodiment. It is an enlarged view which shows the pipe with which each bag part of the surface side of a pillow was filled. It is an enlarged view which shows the cotton filled with each bag part of the back surface side of a pillow. It is a perspective view which shows the state which accommodates the mat for height adjustment between the bag part and cover of a pillow.

Hereinafter, pillows according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pillow 1 according to the present embodiment has a partition sheet 2 formed in the center, and has three cylindrical shapes having a substantially semicircular cross section, for example, on the surface side which is one surface thereof. The bag portions 3, 4, and 5 are integrally attached and arranged. In addition, on the other side, the back side is also arranged with three cylindrical bag portions 7, 8, 9 having a substantially semicircular cross section, for example, which are integrally attached. The front surface side bag portions 3, 4, 5 and the back surface side bag portions 7, 8, 9 have the same length.
Here, the surface on which the bag portions 3, 4, and 5 are arranged is referred to as a front surface 1a, and the surface on which the bag portions 7, 8, and 9 are arranged is referred to as a back surface 1b. However, in the pillow 1 according to the present embodiment, the front surface 1a and the back surface 1b are merely convenient names for distinguishing two opposing surfaces, and have no special meaning.

In the bag portions 3, 4 and 5 on the surface 1a side shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional area of the central bag portion 4 is the smallest, and the bag portion 3 having the largest cross-sectional area and the bag portion 5 having an intermediate cross-sectional area are formed on both sides thereof. It is arranged. Also in the bag parts 7, 8, and 9 on the back surface 1b side, the cross-sectional area of the central bag part 8 is the smallest, and the bag part 7 having the largest cross-sectional area and the bag part 9 having an intermediate cross-sectional area are arranged on both sides thereof. Yes. Moreover, on the front and back surfaces 1a and 1b, the bag portions 3 and 7 having the largest cross-sectional area, the bag portions 4 and 8 having the smallest cross-sectional area, and the bag portions 5 and 9 having the intermediate cross-sectional area, respectively, across the partition sheet 2. Opposed to each other.
In addition, in the front surface 1a and the back surface 1b of the pillow 1 by this embodiment, the bag parts 3 and 7 of one edge part are the highest, and are called the large bag parts 3 and 7 for convenience. The central bag portions 4 and 8 have the lowest height and are referred to as small bag portions 4 and 8. It is assumed that the bag portions 5 and 9 at the other end have intermediate heights and are medium-sized bag portions 5 and 9. In addition, the large bag portions 3 and 7, the medium bag portions 5 and 9, and the small bag portions 4 and 8 are installed at positions facing each other on the front surface 1 a side and the back surface 1 b side. May have the same height or different heights.

Moreover, the bag portions 3, 4 and 5 on the surface 1a side are filled with hollow pipes 11 made of resin such as polyester shown in FIG. 5, for example, and filled according to the size of the cross-sectional area. The amount of pipe 11 to be used is different. The pipe 11 can adjust the hardness of the bag portions 3, 4, 5 depending on the material such as resin, its size, thickness, and the like. And if the structure which covers the surface 1a and the back surface 1b with the cloth of a different color is employ | adopted, the difference in the hardness of front and back can be visually confirmed at a glance.
Moreover, the bag parts 7, 8, 9 on the back surface 1 b side are filled with, for example, polyester cotton or the like as shown in FIG. The amount of each is different.
Moreover, in this embodiment, since the filling rate of the cotton 12 is higher than the pipe 11, the bag parts 3, 4, and 5 on the surface 1a side are harder than the bag parts 7, 8, and 9 on the back surface 1b side. Is set smaller.

1 and 3, a sheet-like cover 14 made of cloth or the like covering the bag portions 7, 8, 9 is installed on the back surface 1 b of the pillow 1. The cover 14 is fixed by being sewn with a thread or the like only at the longitudinal ends 15a, 15b of the bag portions 3, 4, 5 and the bag portions 7, 8, 9 of the pillow 1. Moreover, since the cover 14, the bag portions 3, 4, 5 and the bag portions 7, 8, 9 have elasticity and elasticity, the cover 14 can be folded back from the back surface 1b to the front surface 1a. The cover 14 covers the bag portions 3, 4, and 5 on the surface 1a.
Between the cover 14 and the bag portions 7, 8, 9, or between the cover 14 and the bag portions 4, 5, 6, a coolant for hot cooling of the head or the pillow 1 as shown in FIG. It is possible to insert a pad 16 or a cloth sheet such as a towel for adjusting the height, softness and the like.

The pillow 1 according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, and the usage method will be described next.
When the user uses the relatively soft surface 1a side of the pillow 1 when going to bed, for example, to put the head on the medium-sized bag portion 5 and sleep as shown in FIG. By placing the cervical vertebrae and seating the protruding part of the back of the head on the small bag part 4, the head can be rested with a suitable height. Also, if you want to make the pillow 1 a little higher, place the head at a suitable height by placing the cervical vertebra of the head on the large bag 3 and seating the protruding part of the back of the head on the small bag 4. Can do.

Similarly, when using the relatively hard back surface 1 b side of the pillow 1, the cervical vertebra can be placed on the medium-sized bag portion 9 and the protruding portion of the back of the head can be seated on the small bag portion 4 to rest. Further, when it is desired to raise the pillow 1 a little more, the head can be placed at a suitable height by placing the cervical vertebra on the bag portion 7 having the maximum cross-sectional area and placing the protruding portion of the occipital region on the small bag portion 4. .
As described above, the pillow 1 according to the present embodiment can select the hardness by selecting the front surface 1a or the back surface 1b, and the medium-sized bag portions 5 and 9 can be selected as the position where the cervical vertebra of the head is placed or the large size. By selecting the bag portions 3 and 7, four combinations of height and hardness can be selected.

Further, when the user sleeps sideways, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the large bag portion 9 and the medium bag portion 7 are separated from the small bag portion 8 on the back surface 1 b storing the cotton 12. Bend it into an easy-going shape. Thereby, the head can be placed sideways with the large-sized bag part 5 or the medium-sized bag part 3 containing the pipe 11 on the surface 1a side as the upper surface. In this case, since the height of the pillow 1 is high even if the shoulder is raised, the shoulder is not compressed.
When the pillow 1 is folded, it is possible to lie down sideways with the back surface 1b side as the top surface instead of the front surface 1a side, but the cotton 12 filled in the bag portions 7, 8, 9 on the back surface 1b side is repulsive. Since the pillow 1 is strong, the pillow 1 is easy to spread and the sense of stability may be small. Even in this case, if the amount of the cotton 12 filled in the bag portions 7, 8, and 9 is reduced, the stability when folded can be secured. Therefore, five combinations of height and hardness can be selected.

Even when the head is placed without bending the pillow 1, as shown in FIG. 7, a sheet-like pad 16, a towel, or the like between the cover 14 and the bag portions 7, 8, 9 on the back surface 1 b of the pillow 1. Can be adjusted to a higher height for placing the head. If the cover 14 is inverted from the back surface 1b side to the front surface 1a side, a pad 16 or a towel can be accommodated between the bag portions 3, 4 and 5 on the front surface 1a.
Further, when a cold is caught, an ice bag such as an ice bag containing a cooling agent or ice can be stored between the cover 14 and the bag portion of the front surface 1a or the back surface 1b of the pillow 1. In this case, since the cold insulating agent and the ice pack are accommodated in the inner surface of the cover 14, it is possible to prevent the user from slipping while sleeping.

As described above, according to the pillow 1 according to the present embodiment, the three bag portions 3, 4, 5 and the bag portions 7, 8, 9 on the front surface 1 a side and the back surface 1 b side have heights including the case where they are folded. You can choose how to use 5 different pillows 1 with different hardness.
Moreover, when the pillow 1 is used normally, if the cervical vertebra of the head is placed in one of the large-sized bag portions 3 and 7 and the medium-sized bag portions 5 and 9, the occipital region is stored in the small bag portions 4 and 8 in the center. The seat is good and you can sleep well.
Furthermore, since the pillow 1 is provided with a cover 14 that can be selectively folded back on either the front surface 1a or the back surface 1b, the height between the cover 14 and the bag portions 3, 4, 5 or the bag portions 7, 8, 9 is increased. Since the pad 16 for adjustment and cloth sheets such as towels can be stored, the height can be further adjusted. Further, if a coolant such as an ice sac is stored between the cover 14 and the bag portion, the coolant can be stably held at the time of sleeping and can be stably cooled.

  In addition, the pillow 1 by this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, Various substitution, a deformation | transformation, etc. can be applied in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. Although the modification of this invention is demonstrated below, it demonstrates using the same code | symbol for the part and member which are the same as or similar to embodiment mentioned above.

For example, in the embodiment described above, the reversible cover 14 is provided on the front surface 1a side or the back surface 1b side of the pillow 1, but the cover 14 is not necessarily provided. Moreover, you may attach the cover 14 to both surfaces of the surface 1a and the back surface 1b.
Moreover, in order to make the hardness of each bag part in each surface different, the pipe 11 was filled in the soft side, and the cotton 12 was filled in the hard side, but these were mixed and filled in each bag part, and the ratio of a filling ratio was filled. You may make a difference in hardness. It is not necessary to fill only one side of the pillow 1 with the same filler. Further, the filling material to be filled in each bag portion is not limited to the pipe 11 and the cotton wool 12, and an appropriate filler such as another plastic material or rice husk can be adopted as long as the hardness of each bag portion can be changed.

In addition, the pillow 1 according to the above-described embodiment is provided with three bag portions 3, 4, 5, and bag portions 7, 8, and 9 having different heights on the front and back surfaces and different heights on each surface. May not have three bags on each surface, but may have four or more. At that time, the large-sized bag portions 3 and 7 and the medium-sized bag portions 5 and 9 may be arranged on both ends, and two or more small-sized bag portions 4 and 8 may be installed in the center therebetween. The two small bag portions 4 and 8 may have the same height or different heights.
If such a configuration is adopted, the user's cervical vertebra can be placed on the large-sized bag portions 3 and 7 or the medium-sized bag portions 5 and 9, and the occipital region can be seated on the small bag portions 4 and 8. Can sleep more stably.
