Description

本発明は被験者の後頭部及び首部を安定的に支持するための枕に関する。 The present invention relates to a pillow for stably supporting the back of the head and the neck of a subject.

一般に、枕においては、後頭支持部及び首支持部の高さを保持するために、後頭支持部及び首支持部の各充填部材が左右に逃げないように、後頭支持部及び首支持部を含めて枕を壁状に仕切布を縫合して各部屋に仕切っている。 Generally, in a pillow, in order to maintain the height of the occipital support portion and the neck support portion, the occipital support portion and the neck support portion are included so that the filling members of the occipital support portion and the neck support portion do not escape to the left and right. The pillow is divided into rooms by sewing a partition cloth like a wall.

図９は従来の枕を示す上面斜視図である。尚、以後の図における前（頭下）、後（頭上）、左、右は仰臥位の被験者から見た方向である。 FIG. 9 is a top perspective view showing a conventional pillow. In the following figures, the anterior (belowhead), posterior (overhead), left, and right are the directions seen from the subject in the supine position.

図９においては、枕は、前後左右対称をなしており、中央に位置する後頭支持室１０１、後頭支持室１０１の前後側に対称的に位置する首支持室１０２、１０３、及び後頭支持室１０１、首支持室１０２、１０３の左右側に対称的に位置する横寝支持室１０４、１０５よりなる。この場合、各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５間は壁状の格子構造の仕切布１０６によって仕切られており、従って、各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５に開閉自在のファスナ１０１ａ、１０２ａ、１０３ａ、１０４ａ、１０５ａ（１０４ａ、１０５ａのみ図示）を設けて充填部材を挿入する。つまり、５個のファスナを設ける。従って、各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５の充填部材たとえばパイプの量を調整することにより各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５の高さを調整できる。特に、横寝支持室１０４、１０５の高さを調整して後頭支持室１０１と横寝支持室１０４、１０５との段差を適正に保持し、この結果、被験者の後頭部が仰臥位から横臥位へ移動し易くなりつまり寝返りし易くなる。 In FIG. 9, the pillows are symmetrical in the front-rear and left-right directions, and the occipital support chamber 101 located in the center, the neck support chambers 102 and 103 symmetrically located in the anterior-posterior side of the occipital support chamber 101, and the occipital support chamber 101. , The side-sleeping support chambers 104 and 105 symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the neck support chambers 102 and 103. In this case, each room 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 is partitioned by a wall-shaped lattice-structured partition cloth 106, and therefore, each room 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 can be opened and closed with a fastener 101a. , 102a, 103a, 104a, 105a (only 104a, 105a are shown) to insert the filling member. That is, five fasteners are provided. Therefore, the height of each chamber 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of the filling member, for example, the pipe of each chamber 101, 102, 103, 104, 105. In particular, the heights of the lying support chambers 104 and 105 were adjusted to properly maintain the step between the occipital support chamber 101 and the lying support chambers 104 and 105, and as a result, the subject's occipital region was moved from the supine position to the lying position. It becomes easier to move, that is, it becomes easier to turn over.

しかしながら、図９の従来の枕においては、各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５を仕切る仕切布１０６は格子構造をなしているので、仕切布１０６の複雑な縫合作業及び各室１０１、１０２、１０３、１０４、１０５毎の充填部材の挿入作業のために製造コストが高いという課題がある。 However, in the conventional pillow shown in FIG. 9, since the partition cloth 106 that partitions the chambers 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 has a lattice structure, the partition cloth 106 is complicatedly sewn and the chambers 101 and 102 are sewn together. , 103, 104, 105 There is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high due to the insertion work of the filling member.

また、一度充填部材が後頭支持室１０１に挿入されると、後頭支持室１０１の高さはほぼ不変であり、この高さが不適切な場合、その都度、ファスナを開閉して充填部材の挿入量を調整しなければならないという課題もある。 Further, once the filling member is inserted into the back head support chamber 101, the height of the back head support chamber 101 is almost unchanged, and when this height is inappropriate, the fastener is opened and closed to insert the filling member each time. There is also the issue of having to adjust the amount.

さらに、充填部材の挿入量によって後頭支持室１０１と横寝支持室１０４、１０５との段差が大きくなって寝返りしにくくなった場合、その都度、ファスナを開閉して充填部材の挿入量を調整しなければならないという課題もある。 Further, when the step between the back head support chamber 101 and the sideways support chambers 104 and 105 becomes large due to the insertion amount of the filling member and it becomes difficult to turn over, the fastener is opened and closed to adjust the insertion amount of the filling member each time. There is also the issue of having to.

上述の課題を解決するために、本発明に係る枕は、上面視で中央部から４つの角部に亘って４つの分離された仕切布によって仕切られた後頭支持室と、後頭支持室の前後側に設けられた２つの首支持室と、後頭支持室の左右側に設けられた２つの横寝支持室とを具備し、各仕切布は角部の少なくとも１つにおいて開放されており、充填部材は後頭支持室、首支持室及び横寝支持室間で仕切布の開放部分を介して移動可能となっているものである。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the pillow according to the present invention has a occipital support chamber partitioned by four separated partition cloths from the central portion to four corners in a top view, and front and rear of the occipital support chamber. It is provided with two neck support chambers provided on the side and two sideways support chambers provided on the left and right sides of the occipital support chamber, and each partition cloth is open at at least one of the corners and is filled. The member is movable between the back head support chamber, the neck support chamber, and the side-sleeping support chamber via the open portion of the partition cloth.

また、本発明に係る枕は、上面視で中央部から後方、左下、右下方向に亘って３つの分離された仕切布によって仕切られた後頭支持室と、後頭支持室の前側に設けられた首支持室と、後頭支持室の左右側に設けられた２つの横寝支持室とを具備し、各仕切布はその両端又は一端において開放されており、充填部材は後頭支持室、首支持室及び横寝支持室間で各仕切布の開放部分を介して移動可能となっているものである。 Further, the pillow according to the present invention is provided in a occipital support chamber partitioned by three separate partition cloths from the central portion to the rear, lower left, and lower right directions from the central portion, and on the front side of the occipital support chamber. It is provided with a neck support chamber and two sideways support chambers provided on the left and right sides of the occipital support chamber, each partition cloth is open at both ends or one end thereof, and filling members are the occipital support chamber and the neck support chamber. And it is possible to move between the side-sleeping support rooms through the open portion of each partition cloth.

本発明によれば、複数の仕切布は個別的に分離されているので仕切布の縫合作業が容易となると共に充填部材の挿入容易によって製造コストを低減でき、また、後頭支持室及び首支持室の高さを被験者の後頭部及び首部の重みに応じた値に安定化できると共に寝返りし易くできる。 According to the present invention, since the plurality of partition cloths are individually separated, the partition cloth can be easily sewn, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by the easy insertion of the filling member, and the occipital support chamber and the neck support chamber can be easily inserted. The height of the subject can be stabilized to a value corresponding to the weight of the back of the head and the neck of the subject, and it is possible to easily turn over.

図１は本発明に係る枕の第１の実施の形態を示し、（Ａ）は上面図、（Ｂ）は下面図である。 FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a pillow according to the present invention, (A) is a top view and (B) is a bottom view.

図１において、前後左右対称をなしている枕は、中央部から４つの角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に亘って直線状に延在した４つの仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４によって区分された十字状（対角線状）の後頭支持室１と、後頭支持室１の前後に対称的に設けられた首支持室２、３と、後頭支持室１の左右に対称的に設けられた横寝支持室４、５とよって構成されている。枕の表面側において、斜線部分で示すニット領域Ｎは弾力性があるたとえばニット（編物）によって形成され、白地部分は堅ろうなたとえば布はく（織物）によって形成されている。これに対し、枕の下面側はすべて堅ろうなたとえば布はく（織物）によって形成されている。 In FIG. 1, the pillows that are symmetrical in the front-rear and left-right directions have four partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6 extending linearly from the central portion to the four corner portions E1, E2, E3, and E4. The cross-shaped (diagonal) occipital support chamber 1 divided by -3 and 6-4, the neck support chambers 2 and 3 symmetrically provided in front of and behind the occipital support chamber 1, and the left and right of the occipital support chamber 1. It is composed of side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 provided symmetrically with each other. On the surface side of the pillow, the shaded area N of the knit area is formed by an elastic knit (knit), for example, and the white background is formed by a rigid cloth cloth (woven fabric), for example. On the other hand, the underside of the pillow is all made of a rigid wax cloth (woven fabric), for example.

仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４は枕内に垂直に壁状に縫合されており、たとえば布はく（織物）によって形成されている。仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４は分離されており、結合されていない。従って、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４の縫合作業は図９の仕切布１０６の縫合作業より容易である。 The partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 are sewn vertically into the pillow in a wall shape, and are formed by, for example, a cloth foil (woven fabric). The partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 are separated and not joined. Therefore, the sewing work of the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 is easier than the sewing work of the partition cloth 106 of FIG.

仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４は角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４において開放されており、これにより、後頭支持室１、首支持室２、３、及び横寝支持室４、５の間で充填部材は移動可能である。この場合、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４の開放端を６−１ａ、６−１ｂ、６−２ａ、６−２ｂ、６−３ａ、６−３ｂ、６−４ａ、６−４ｂとする。従って、枕に充填部材たとえばパイプを充填するための開閉自在のファスナは１つのみであり、たとえば横寝支持室４の外縁にファスナ４ａを設ける。これにより、充填部材の挿入も容易となる。 The partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 are open at the corners E1, E2, E3 and E4, whereby the occipital support chamber 1, the neck support chambers 2, 3 and the lateral sides are opened. The filling member is movable between the sleeping support chambers 4 and 5. In this case, the open ends of the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 are 6-1a, 6-1b, 6-2a, 6-2b, 6-3a, 6-3b and 6-. 4a and 6-4b. Therefore, there is only one openable and closable fastener for filling the pillow with a filling member, for example, a pipe. For example, a fastener 4a is provided on the outer edge of the side-sleeping support chamber 4. This facilitates the insertion of the filling member.

後頭支持室１の仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４によって形成される角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３、Ｐ４の開放端の幅Ｗ１は比較的大きく、他方、首支持室２、３の角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する開放端の幅Ｗ２は比較的小さい（参照：図２の（Ａ））。また、横寝支持室４、５の角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する開放端の幅Ｗ３も比較的小さい（参照：図２の（Ｂ））。 At the open ends of the passages P1, P2, P3, P4 facing the corners E1, E2, E3, E4 formed by the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 of the back head support chamber 1. The width W1 is relatively large, while the width W2 of the open end facing the corners E1, E2, E3, E4 of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is relatively small (see (A) in FIG. 2). Further, the width W3 of the open end facing the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4 of the side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 is also relatively small (see (B) in FIG. 2).

後頭支持室１の通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３、Ｐ４の開放端の幅Ｗ１は首支持室２、３の角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する開放端の幅Ｗ２より大きくする。すなわち、Ｗ１＞Ｗ２。従って、後頭支持室１から首支持室２、３への充填部材流動を確保しつつ開放端の幅Ｗ２をできる限り小さくして首支持室２、３内の充填部材の流動性を強く抑制するようにできる。これにより、首支持室２、３の膨らみも維持する。 The width W1 of the open ends of the passages P1, P2, P3, and P4 of the back head support chamber 1 is made larger than the width W2 of the open ends facing the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4 of the neck support chambers 2 and 3. That is, W1> W2. Therefore, the width W2 of the open end is made as small as possible while ensuring the flow of the filling member from the back head support chamber 1 to the neck support chambers 2 and 3, and the fluidity of the filling member in the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is strongly suppressed. Can be done. As a result, the bulge of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is also maintained.

後頭支持室１の通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３、Ｐ４の開放端の幅Ｗ１は横寝支持室４、５の角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する開放端の幅Ｗ３より大きくする。すなわち、Ｗ１＞Ｗ３。従って、後頭支持室１から横寝支持室４、５への充填部材流動を確保しつつ開放端の幅Ｗ３をできる限り小さくして横寝支持室４、５内の充填部材の流動性を強く抑制するようにできる。これにより、横寝支持室４、５の膨らみも維持する。 The width W1 of the open ends of the passages P1, P2, P3, and P4 of the back head support chamber 1 is made larger than the width W3 of the open ends facing the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4 of the sideways support chambers 4 and 5. That is, W1> W3. Therefore, while ensuring the flow of the filling member from the back head support chamber 1 to the lying support chambers 4 and 5, the width W3 of the open end is made as small as possible to increase the fluidity of the filling member in the lying support chambers 4 and 5. It can be suppressed. As a result, the swelling of the sideways support chambers 4 and 5 is also maintained.

図１の枕の充填部材（たとえばパイプ）の流動について説明する。 The flow of the pillow filling member (for example, a pipe) of FIG. 1 will be described.

被験者が仰臥時の充填部材の流動は、図２の（Ａ）に示される。後頭支持室１においては、被験者の頭部の重みにより充填部材は、矢印Ｘ１、Ｘ２、Ｘ３、Ｘ４に示すごとく、後頭支持室１の中央から仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４によって囲まれた通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３、Ｐ４を介して角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４へ向かって動く。この結果、充填部材は角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に集中的に溜まり、溜まった充填部材自身が充填部材の流動性を抑制する。この場合、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４によって形成される通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３、Ｐ４の開放端の幅Ｗ１を適度な大きさにすることにより充填部材の流動性をさらに抑制し、後頭支持室１の中央部は被験者の頭部の重みに依存し安定した高さを有することになる。他方、首支持室２、３においても、充填部材は、矢印Ｙ１、Ｙ２、Ｙ３、Ｙ４に示すごとく、主に左右方向へ動く。この場合、首支持室２、３の角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４の開放端の幅Ｗ２は比較的小さく、これに応じて充填部材の流動性を強く抑制し、首支持室２、３の中央部は被験者の頭部の重みによっても高さの低下は小さく、安定した高さを維持することになる。 The flow of the filling member when the subject is lying on his back is shown in FIG. 2 (A). In the occipital support chamber 1, due to the weight of the subject's head, the filling member is divided into partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 from the center of the occipital support chamber 1 as shown by arrows X1, X2, X3, and X4. , 6-4 and moves toward the corners E1, E2, E3, E4 through the passages P1, P2, P3, P4. As a result, the filling member is concentrated in the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4, and the accumulated filling member itself suppresses the fluidity of the filling member. In this case, the width W1 of the open end of the passages P1, P2, P3, and P4 formed by the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4 is set to an appropriate size to make the filling member. The fluidity is further suppressed, and the central portion of the occipital support chamber 1 has a stable height depending on the weight of the subject's head. On the other hand, also in the neck support chambers 2 and 3, the filling member mainly moves in the left-right direction as shown by arrows Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4. In this case, the width W2 of the open ends of the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 facing the corners E1, E2, E3 and E4 of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is relatively small. Correspondingly, the fluidity of the filling member is strongly suppressed, and the central portion of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is maintained at a stable height with a small decrease in height due to the weight of the subject's head.

被験者が横寝時の充填部材の流動は図２の（Ｂ）に示される。横寝支持室４、５においては、充填部材は、矢印Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３、Ｚ４に示すごとく、主に前後方向に向かって動く。この結果、充填部材は角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に集中的に溜まり、溜まった充填部材自身が充填部材の流動性を抑制する。この場合、角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４に対向する仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３、６−４の開放端の幅Ｗ３に応じて充填部材の流動性をさらに抑制し、横寝支持室４、５の中央部は被験者の頭部の重みによっても高さの低下は小さく安定した高さを有することになる。従って、後頭支持室１と横寝支持室４、５との段差は安定した値となり、寝返りし易くなる。 The flow of the filling member when the subject is lying down is shown in FIG. 2 (B). In the sideways support chambers 4 and 5, the filling member moves mainly in the front-rear direction as shown by arrows Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4. As a result, the filling member is concentrated in the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4, and the accumulated filling member itself suppresses the fluidity of the filling member. In this case, the fluidity of the filling member is further suppressed according to the width W3 of the open ends of the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4 facing the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4. The central portion of the lying support chambers 4 and 5 has a stable height with a small decrease in height depending on the weight of the subject's head. Therefore, the level difference between the occipital support chamber 1 and the side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 becomes a stable value, and it becomes easy to turn over.

図３の（Ａ）に示すごとく、首支持室２、３の開放端のいずれか一方の開放端を仕切布６−１、６−３によって閉鎖して首支持室２、３内の充填部材の流動性をさらに強く抑制してもよい。但し、首支持室２、３の左右側の開放端の両方を仕切布６−１、６−３によって閉鎖することはできない。なぜなら、ファスナが存在しない首支持室２、３内への充填部材の挿入が不可能となるからである。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the open end of any one of the open ends of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is closed by partition cloths 6-1 and 6-3, and the filling member in the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is closed. The fluidity of the above may be further suppressed. However, both the left and right open ends of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 cannot be closed by the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-3. This is because it becomes impossible to insert the filling member into the neck support chambers 2 and 3 in which the fastener does not exist.

図３の（Ｂ）に示すごとく、横寝支持室４、５の開放端のいずれか一方の開放端を仕切布仕切布６−２、６−４によって閉鎖して横寝支持室４、５内の充填部材の流動性をさらに強く抑制してもよい。但し、横寝支持室４、５の前後側の開放端の両方を仕切布６−２、６−４によって閉鎖することはできない。なぜなら、ファスナが存在しない横寝支持室４内への充填部材の挿入が不可能となるからである。 As shown in FIG. 3B, the open end of any one of the open ends of the side sleep support chambers 4 and 5 is closed by the partition cloth partition cloths 6-2 and 6-4, and the side sleep support chambers 4 and 5 are closed. The fluidity of the filling member inside may be further suppressed. However, both the front and rear open ends of the sideways support chambers 4 and 5 cannot be closed by the partition cloths 6-2 and 6-4. This is because it becomes impossible to insert the filling member into the side-sleeping support chamber 4 in which the fastener does not exist.

図３の（Ｃ）に示すごとく、首支持室２、３及び横寝支持室４、５のすべてについて開放端のいずれか一方を仕切布６によって閉鎖してもよい。 As shown in FIG. 3C, any one of the open ends of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 and the lying support chambers 4 and 5 may be closed by the partition cloth 6.

図４は図１の後頭支持室１の形状を決定する仕切布の変更例を示す下面図である。図４の（Ａ）に示すごとく、仕切布６−１Ａ、６−２Ａ、６−３Ａ、６−４Ａは中央部から角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４へ円弧状に延在してもよく、また、図４の（Ｂ）に示すごとく、仕切布６−１Ｂ、６−２Ｂ、６−３Ｂ、６−４Ｂは中央部から角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４へ段差状に延在してもよい。つまり、仕切布は中央部から角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４へ向かえばよく、種々な形状が可能である。従って、後頭支持室１も、中央部から角部Ｅ１、Ｅ２、Ｅ３、Ｅ４へ向かえばよく、種々の形状が可能である。 FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing a modified example of the partition cloth that determines the shape of the back head support chamber 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, the partition cloths 6-1A, 6-2A, 6-3A, and 6-4A may extend from the central portion to the corner portions E1, E2, E3, and E4 in an arc shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the partition cloths 6-1B, 6-2B, 6-3B, and 6-4B extend stepwise from the central portion to the corner portions E1, E2, E3, and E4. You may. That is, the partition cloth may be formed from the central portion toward the corner portions E1, E2, E3, and E4, and various shapes are possible. Therefore, the occipital support chamber 1 may also have various shapes as long as it faces the corners E1, E2, E3, and E4 from the central portion.

このように、上述の第１の実施の形態においては、４つの分離された仕切布の各々は、両端又は一端が開放されている。 As described above, in the first embodiment described above, each of the four separated partition cloths is open at both ends or one end.

図５は本発明に係る枕の第２の実施の形態を示し、（Ａ）は上面図、（Ｂ）は下面図である。 5A and 5B show a second embodiment of the pillow according to the present invention, where FIG. 5A is a top view and FIG. 5B is a bottom view.

図５において、左右対称をなしている枕は、中央部から上方、左下、右下に亘って直線状に延在した３つの仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３によって区分された「人」字状の後頭支持室１と、後頭支持室１の前方に設けられた首支持室２と、後頭支持室１の左右に対称的に設けられた横寝支持室４、５とよって構成されている。枕の表面側において、斜線部分で示すニット領域Ｎは弾力性があるたとえばニット（編物）によって形成され、白地部分は堅ろうなたとえば布はく（織物）によって形成されている。これに対し、枕の下面側はすべて堅ろうなたとえば布はくによって形成されている。 In FIG. 5, the symmetrical pillows are classified by three partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 extending linearly from the central part to the upper part, the lower left part, and the lower right part. A "human" -shaped occipital support chamber 1, a neck support chamber 2 provided in front of the occipital support chamber 1, and side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the occipital support chamber 1. It is configured. On the surface side of the pillow, the shaded area N of the knit area is formed by an elastic knit (knit), for example, and the white background is formed by a rigid cloth cloth (woven fabric), for example. On the other hand, the underside of the pillow is all made of a rigid brazing cloth, for example.

仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３は枕内に垂直に壁状に縫合されており、たとえば布はく（織物）によって形成されている。仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３は分離されており、結合されていない。従って、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３の縫合作業は図９の仕切布１０６の縫合作業より容易である。 The partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2 and 6-3 are sewn vertically into the pillow in a wall shape, and are formed by, for example, a cloth foil (woven fabric). The partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2 and 6-3 are separated and not joined. Therefore, the stitching work of the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 is easier than the stitching work of the partition cloth 106 of FIG.

仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３は両端において開放されており、これにより、後頭支持室１、首支持室２、横寝支持室４、５間で充填部材は移動可能となる。この場合、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３の開放端を６−１ａ、６−１ｂ、６−２ａ、６−２ｂ、６−３ａ、６−３ｂとする。従って、枕に充填部材たとえばパイプを充填するための開閉自在のファスナは１つのみであり、たとえば横寝支持室４の外縁にファスナ４ａを設ける。これにより、充填部材の挿入も容易となる。 The partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 are open at both ends, whereby the filling member can be moved between the back head support chamber 1, the neck support chamber 2, and the lying support chambers 4 and 5. .. In this case, the open ends of the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2 and 6-3 are set to 6-1a, 6-1b, 6-2a, 6-2b, 6-3a and 6-3b. Therefore, there is only one openable and closable fastener for filling the pillow with a filling member, for example, a pipe. For example, a fastener 4a is provided on the outer edge of the side-sleeping support chamber 4. This facilitates the insertion of the filling member.

後頭支持室１の仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３によって形成される通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の開放端の幅Ｗ１は比較的大きく、他方、首支持室２の左右両端の開放端の幅Ｗ２は比較的小さい（参照：図６の（Ａ））。また、横寝支持室４、５の両端の開放端の幅Ｗ３も比較的小さい（参照：図６の（Ｂ））。 The width W1 of the open ends of the passages P1, P2, and P3 formed by the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 of the back head support chamber 1 is relatively large, while the left and right ends of the neck support chamber 2 are open. The edge width W2 is relatively small (see: (A) in FIG. 6). Further, the width W3 of the open ends at both ends of the side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 is also relatively small (see: (B) in FIG. 6).

後頭支持室１の通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の開放端の幅Ｗ１は首支持室２の開放端の幅Ｗ２より大きくする。すなわち、Ｗ１＞Ｗ２。従って、後頭支持室１から首支持室２への充填部材流動を確保しつつ開放端の幅Ｗ２をできる限り小さくして首支持室２、３内の充填部材の流動性を強く抑制するようにできる。これにより、首支持室２、３の膨らみも維持する。 The width W1 of the open end of the passages P1, P2, and P3 of the back head support chamber 1 is made larger than the width W2 of the open end of the neck support chamber 2. That is, W1> W2. Therefore, the width W2 of the open end is made as small as possible while ensuring the flow of the filling member from the back head support chamber 1 to the neck support chamber 2, so that the fluidity of the filling member in the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is strongly suppressed. it can. As a result, the bulge of the neck support chambers 2 and 3 is also maintained.

後頭支持室１の通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の開放端の幅Ｗ１は横寝支持室４、５の開放端の幅Ｗ３より大きくする。すなわち、Ｗ１＞Ｗ３。従って、後頭支持室１から横寝支持室４、５への充填部材流動を確保しつつ開放端の幅Ｗ３をできる限り小さくして横寝支持室４、５内の充填部材の流動性を強く抑制するようにできる。これにより、横寝支持室４、５の膨らみも維持する。 The width W1 of the open ends of the passages P1, P2, and P3 of the back head support chamber 1 is made larger than the width W3 of the open ends of the side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5. That is, W1> W3. Therefore, while ensuring the flow of the filling member from the back head support chamber 1 to the lying support chambers 4 and 5, the width W3 of the open end is made as small as possible to increase the fluidity of the filling member in the lying support chambers 4 and 5. It can be suppressed. As a result, the swelling of the side-sleeping support chambers 4 and 5 is also maintained.

図５の枕の充填部材（たとえばパイプ）の流動について説明する。 The flow of the pillow filling member (for example, a pipe) of FIG. 5 will be described.

被験者が仰臥時の充填部材の流動は、図６の（Ａ）に示される。後頭支持室１においては、被験者の頭部の重みにより充填部材は、矢印Ｘ１、Ｘ２、Ｘ３に示すごとく、後頭支持室１の中央から仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３によって囲まれた通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３を介して上方、左下、右下へ向かって動く。この結果、充填部材は通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の出口場所Ｆ１、Ｆ２、Ｆ３に集中的に溜まり、溜まった充填部材自身が充填部材の流動性を抑制する。この場合、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３によって形成される通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の開放端の幅Ｗ１を適度な大きさにすることにより充填部材の流動性をさらに抑制し、後頭支持室１の中央部は被験者の頭部の重みに依存し安定した高さを有することになる。他方、首支持室２においても、充填部材は、矢印Ｙ１、Ｙ２に示すごとく、主に左右方向へ動く。この場合、首支持室２の仕切布６−３の開放端の幅Ｗ２は比較的小さく、これに応じて充填部材の流動性を強く抑制し、首支持室２の中央部は被験者の首部の重みによっても高さの低下は小さく、安定した高さを維持することになる。 The flow of the filling member when the subject is lying on his back is shown in FIG. 6 (A). In the occipital support chamber 1, the filling member is surrounded by partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 from the center of the occipital support chamber 1 as shown by arrows X1, X2, and X3 due to the weight of the subject's head. It moves upward, lower left, and lower right through the passages P1, P2, and P3. As a result, the filling member is concentratedly accumulated in the outlet locations F1, F2, and F3 of the passages P1, P2, and P3, and the accumulated filling member itself suppresses the fluidity of the filling member. In this case, the fluidity of the filling member is further suppressed by setting the width W1 of the open end of the passages P1, P2, and P3 formed by the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3 to an appropriate size. The central portion of the occipital support chamber 1 has a stable height depending on the weight of the subject's head. On the other hand, also in the neck support chamber 2, the filling member mainly moves in the left-right direction as shown by arrows Y1 and Y2. In this case, the width W2 of the open end of the partition cloth 6-3 of the neck support chamber 2 is relatively small, and the fluidity of the filling member is strongly suppressed accordingly, and the central portion of the neck support chamber 2 is the neck of the subject. The decrease in height is small depending on the weight, and a stable height is maintained.

被験者が横寝時の充填部材の流動は図６の（Ｂ）に示される。横寝支持室４、５においては、充填部材は、矢印Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３、Ｚ４に示すごとく、左右前後方向に向かって動く。この結果、充填部材は通路Ｐ１、Ｐ２、Ｐ３の出口場所Ｆ１、Ｆ２、Ｆ３に集中的に溜まり、溜まった充填部材自身が充填部材の流動性を抑制する。この場合、仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３の開放端の幅Ｗ３に応じて充填部材の流動性をさらに抑制し、横寝支持室４、５の中央部は被験者の頭部の重みによっても高さの低下は小さく安定した高さを有することになる。従って、後頭支持室１と横寝支持室４、５との段差は安定した値となり、横寝し易くなる。 The flow of the filling member when the subject is lying down is shown in FIG. 6 (B). In the sideways support chambers 4 and 5, the filling member moves in the left-right front-rear direction as shown by arrows Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4. As a result, the filling member is concentratedly accumulated in the outlet locations F1, F2, and F3 of the passages P1, P2, and P3, and the accumulated filling member itself suppresses the fluidity of the filling member. In this case, the fluidity of the filling member is further suppressed according to the width W3 of the open ends of the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3, and the central portion of the lying support chambers 4 and 5 is the head of the subject. The decrease in height is small due to the weight of, and the height is stable. Therefore, the level difference between the occipital support chamber 1 and the sideways support chambers 4 and 5 becomes a stable value, and it becomes easy to lie down.

図７の（Ａ）に示すごとく、首支持室２の開放端のいずれか一方の開放端を仕切布６−３によって閉鎖して首支持室２内の充填部材の流動性をさらに強く抑制してもよい。但し、首支持室２の左右側の開放端の両方を仕切布６−３によって閉鎖することはできない。なぜなら、ファスナが存在しない首支持室２内への充填部材の挿入が不可能となるからである。 As shown in FIG. 7A, one of the open ends of the neck support chamber 2 is closed by the partition cloth 6-3 to further strongly suppress the fluidity of the filling member in the neck support chamber 2. You may. However, both the left and right open ends of the neck support chamber 2 cannot be closed by the partition cloth 6-3. This is because it becomes impossible to insert the filling member into the neck support chamber 2 in which the fastener does not exist.

図７の（Ｂ）に示すごとく、横寝支持室４、５の開放端のいずれか一方の開放端を仕切布仕切布６−１、６−２によって閉鎖して横寝支持室４、５内の充填部材の流動性をさらに強く抑制してもよい。但し、横寝支持室４、５の前後側の開放端の両方を仕切布６−１、６−２によって閉鎖することはできない。なぜなら、ファスナが存在しない横寝支持室４内への充填部材の挿入が不可能となるからである。 As shown in FIG. 7B, the open end of any one of the open ends of the side sleep support chambers 4 and 5 is closed by the partition cloth partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2, and the side sleep support chambers 4 and 5 are closed. The fluidity of the filling member inside may be further suppressed. However, both the front and rear open ends of the sideways support chambers 4 and 5 cannot be closed by the partition cloths 6-1 and 6-2. This is because it becomes impossible to insert the filling member into the side-sleeping support chamber 4 in which the fastener does not exist.

図７の（Ｃ）に示すごとく、首支持室２及び横寝支持室４、５のすべてについて開放端のいずれか一方を仕切布６−１、６−２、６−３によって閉鎖してもよい。 As shown in (C) of FIG. 7, even if any one of the open ends of the neck support chamber 2 and the lying support chambers 4 and 5 is closed by the partition cloths 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. Good.

図８は図５の後頭支持室１の形状を決定する仕切布の変更例を示す下面図である。図８の（Ａ）に示すごとく、仕切布６−１Ａ、６−２Ａ、６−３Ａは中央部から上方、左下、右下へ円弧状に延在してもよく、また、図８の（Ｂ）に示すごとく、仕切布６−１Ｂ、６−２Ｂ、６−３Ｂは中央部から上方、左下、右下へ段差状に延在してもよい。つまり、仕切布は種々な形状が可能である。従って、後頭支持室１も、種々の形状が可能である。 FIG. 8 is a bottom view showing a modified example of the partition cloth that determines the shape of the back head support chamber 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 8A, the partition cloths 6-1A, 6-2A, and 6-3A may extend in an arc shape from the central portion to the upper side, the lower left side, and the lower right side, and the partition cloth 6-1A, 6-2A, and 6-3A may extend in an arc shape from the central portion. As shown in B), the partition cloths 6-1B, 6-2B, and 6-3B may extend in a stepped manner from the central portion to the upper side, the lower left side, and the lower right side. That is, the partition cloth can have various shapes. Therefore, the occipital support chamber 1 can also have various shapes.
