Description

  The present invention relates to an emergency pillow for use in a hospital, for example, for a patient transported to an emergency, and more particularly to an emergency height adjustment pillow capable of easily adjusting the pillow height to an optimum position according to the patient.

  Today, the height of the pillow is important, and the height of the pillow is important for achieving a good sleep and comfortable sleeping, for example. However, pillows currently on the market have a predetermined height, and in the case of using pillows that do not match in height, adjustment is performed using a stuffing such as a towel. For pillows to be used at home, individuals can purchase and use pillows of the optimal height that suits them, but for pillows that are used at other than home, for example, in a ryokan or a hospital, etc. Can not use pillows.

  In the case of a hospital in particular, it is also possible to adjust the height of the pillow using fillings such as towels as described above in the case of ordinary hospitalization. However, in the case of emergency transportation, for example, pillows of a certain height are used, and pillows of a height tailored to the patient are not used. Further, depending on the treatment content of the patient, for example, in the case of adjusting the height of the head, the above-mentioned stuffing is used.

  In addition, patent document 1 is proposed as a height adjustment pillow. FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the height adjustment pillow disclosed in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, a pillow body 21 having a predetermined inclination is attached to a pillow body support frame 22 with female thread, and a male thread 23 is passed through the pillow body support frame 22 provided with a female screw. It is a structure attached to the underframe 24. And when adjusting the height of the pillow main body 21, it operates by operating male Neshi 23 on either side.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to adjust the height of the pillow to the patient very easily and in a short time, for example, even in a medical site requiring urgent treatment, and for example, it is only necessary to sequentially expand a plurality of folded pillows. With a simple task, the pillow can be adjusted to the optimum height for the patient in a short time.

It is a whole block diagram of the height adjustment pillow for emergency of this embodiment. It is an expanded view of the height adjustment pillow explaining the structure of a height adjustment pillow. . It is a figure explaining the size of a plurality of pillows of this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of a setting at the time of setting a pillow to a low state according to a patient or treatment content. It is a figure explaining the example which uses the height adjustment pillow for emergency of this embodiment for a patient. It is a figure which shows the example of a setting at the time of setting a pillow to a still lower state according to a patient or treatment content. It is a figure which shows the example of the conventional height adjustment pillow.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the emergency height adjustment pillow of the present embodiment. The emergency height adjustment pillow (hereinafter, simply indicated by the height adjustment pillow) 1 described in this example has a configuration in which three pillows 1a to 1c are folded and overlapped as shown in the figure, and each pillow 1a to 1c are joined at the joint portion 2 and function as an integral height adjustment pillow 1.

  FIG. 2 is a developed view for explaining the structure of the height adjustment pillow 1 of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the pillows 1a to 1c constituting the height adjustment pillow 1 are joined at the joining portion 2, the pillows 1a and 1b are joined at the joining portion 2a, and the pillows 1b and 1c are joined at the joining portion 2b It is done.

  Here, the pillows 1a to 1c have the same structure, and for example, the inner pillow body uses polyurethane foam. In particular, when using a flexible foam, it can be used as a pillow that is light and excellent in cushioning properties and durability. Moreover, the variation of the hardness of polyurethane foam is abundant, and the setting of the optimal hardness as a pillow is also possible. For example, it is easy to set the same hardness as a general medical pillow, and it is also possible to adjust the hardness depending on the condition of the patient and the contents of treatment.

  Moreover, the height adjustment pillow 1 of this example is covered by the pillow cover 3. The pillow cover 3 is made of a water repellent material, for example, the surface of a fabric such as cloth or fabric is coated with silicon or a fluorine-based water repellent. In the pillow cover 3 of this example, the same material is used for the entire pillows 1a to 1c, and the same material is used for the joint portions 2a and 2b. Therefore, in production of height adjustment pillow 1 of this example, pillows 1a-1c of a single body are wrapped and created with same cover 3 (3a-3c) for pillows, respectively.

  The size of each pillow 1a to 1c used in this example is, for example, 30 mm in thickness, 100 mm in width, and 200 mm in length as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the height adjustment pillow shown in FIG. The height of 1 is set to 60 mm in total.

The said FIG.1 and FIG.4-FIG. 6 are figures which show the example in the case of using the height adjustment pillow 1 of the said structure.
First, the state of the pillow shown in FIG. 1 is the case where the height adjustment pillow 1 is used in the highest state, and is the case where the height is 60 mm as described above.

  On the other hand, the state of the pillow shown in FIG. 4 is a case where the pillow is set lower than the state shown in FIG. 1 depending on the patient and the treatment contents. In this case, the height of the height adjustment pillow 1 is 40 mm, and can be set by a simple operation of expanding only the pillow 1 c from the state where the three pillows 1 a to 1 c are overlapped and folded. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the height adjustment pillow 1 in this state is used for a patient, and shows a state in which the head 5 of the patient 4 is placed on the height adjustment pillow 1.

  Moreover, FIG. 6 is a case where a pillow is further set to the state lower than the state shown in FIG. 4 (FIG. 5). In this case, the height of the height adjustment pillow 1 is 20 mm, for example, when the patient is a child or when the height of the pillow is set to the lowest state depending on the treatment content. Also in this case, setting can be performed by a simple operation of further expanding the two overlapping pillows 1a and 1b.

  That is, the height adjustment pillow 1 of the present invention is a simple operation from the state of height 60 mm where three pillows 1a to 1c shown in FIG. 1 overlap, the state of height 40 mm shown in FIG. It can be easily set to the state of a 20 mm high pillow shown in 6. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust to the optimum height corresponding to the patient and the treatment contents in a short time by an operation of sequentially spreading the three folded pillows 1a to 1c.

  Although three pillows 1a to 1c are used in the description of the height adjustment pillow 1 of the above embodiment, the height adjustment pillow of the present invention is not limited to the case where three pillows are used, for example, two. The present invention is also applicable to the case where four or more pillows are folded and used. Moreover, the height of each pillow is not limited to 20 mm, and can be set to any height such as 10 mm, 15 mm, etc. Furthermore, the heights of each pillow may be set to different heights, respectively, according to the patient in more detail It is possible to set the height of the pillow.

  Further, the material of the pillows 1a to 1c is not limited to the polyurethane frame, and the pillow cover 3 is not limited to the foamable material, and any similar material can be applied.

  In addition, for the joints of the pillows 1a to 1c, for example, a double structure or a special reinforcing material may be used for reinforcement.
