[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to pillows,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a pillow for promoting health and improving sleep.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pillows having various structures have been developed in the past.
Individually, they have different configurations, but some have the drawback that the pillow itself is too soft and lacks stability and cannot maintain the required shape as a pillow while sleeping. In order to exhibit the acupressure effect, there is also a configuration in which a foamed material or resin molded body with profile processing is built in, but in actuality, it is deformed during bedtime, so the acupressure effect is reduced. At present, it is rarely used.

Many pillows use a foam material inside to provide elasticity. However, in the case of a foam material using such a foam material, heat radiated from the head causes the foam. Since the heat is stored in the material, there is also a problem that it is not possible to exert the head cold effect, which is the most required feature of a pillow. In addition, some pillows have a built-in magnet to exhibit the same effect as the acupressure effect. However, such pillows have a poor texture at the portion that comes in contact with the skin, which is a cause of hindering sleep.

[0004] Therefore, there has been no ideal pillow for promoting a good night's sleep and promoting health.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide an ideal pillow that promotes a good night's sleep and promotes health.

[0006]

The present invention employs the following technical configuration to achieve the above object. That is, the basic technical configuration of the present invention is as follows.
It is a pillow in which a natural wood chip layer is arranged on a plant material layer made of natural plants. A specific example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1. The present invention is a pillow in which a natural wood chip layer 2 made of natural wood chips 3 is arranged on a plant material layer 1 made of natural plants. is there.

In the present invention, the plant material layer 1 is a natural plant leaf, branch, vein, root, stem, grass, fruit, bast, or the like itself, or a plant material 1 composed of fibers collected therefrom.
0 is formed to a predetermined thickness, and for example, palm fibers or palm fibers are preferably used. Such a plant material layer 1 is preferably enveloped with a breathable material 8.

[0008] As such an envelope material, any fabric product,
For example, thin fabrics, knits, paper products, nonwoven fabrics and the like can be used. Such an envelope material is necessary for preventing the plant material from falling off or sticking to the skin. The plant material constituting the plant material layer 1 is preferably arranged so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the longitudinal direction of the pillow.
It is preferable to arrange the plant materials in multiple layers so as to form a thickness of about 20 mm to about 20 mm.

The plant material layer 1 functions as a radiator for radiating the heat absorbed by the pillow. When the heat radiated from the head and neck of a human being is transmitted to the plant material layer 1, The heat acts as a ventilation layer that circulates air in the direction of arrangement of the plant material in the plant material layer and dissipates the heat introduced into the pillow. In addition, the plant material layer 1 can exhibit the function of absorbing sweat and moisture radiating from the head and neck of a human and keeping the pillow in a constantly dry state.

Next, in the present invention, the plant material layer 1
On which a natural wood chip layer 2 is placed. The natural wood chip layer 2 in the present invention is formed by forming a large number of chips obtained by finely pulverizing natural wood into granules. Although the shape of the chip used in the present invention is not particularly specified, for example, the granular material is formed into a shape such as a spherical shape, a square shape, a hollow shape, and a polyhedral sphere. Is also good.

Although the size of the natural wood chip is not particularly limited, the diameter or the length of one piece is, for example, 1
It is preferably 0 mm or less. It is particularly preferable that the shape of the natural wood chip used in the present invention is a hexahedron or a pyramid, and moreover, the natural wood chip is a vertex which is an aggregation of each ridge of the hexahedron or the pyramid. It is preferable that a proper curvature is formed, that is, an appropriate radius (R) is taken.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to improve the fluidity of the natural wood chip, and at the same time, the rounded projections of the natural wood chip apply moderate stimulation to the skin of the head and neck. It is possible to provide a massage effect, thereby improving the blood circulation of the skin, promoting a good night's sleep and improving the health.

The material of the natural wood chip in the present invention is not particularly limited.
Although pine, cypress, cedar, zelkova and the like can be used, it is particularly preferable to use cypress. In the present invention, the use of the natural wood chip not only exerts the massage effect while using the pillow, but also the scent due to the fintide released from the natural wood as described above. By
It has been found that the pillow of the present invention has a refreshing mood called the forest bathing effect, which can further promote the sleep effect, and that the fragrance of the natural tree also exerts a bactericidal effect. It can be said.

Further, in the present invention, the natural wood chip 3 is breathable by itself and thus has a high hygroscopicity, and therefore can absorb moisture, and keeps the surface of the pillow dry and cool. In addition to being able to maintain the same effect, it has fungicidal and deodorizing effects, is hygienic, and has excellent durability for maintaining the effects over a long period of time. The natural wood chip layer 1 according to the present invention is formed by using a large number of the above-described natural wood chips 3, and specifically has a predetermined size made of an appropriate cloth, paper, or the like. The natural wood chip is inserted into the bag-shaped structure of the above.

In the present invention, the natural wood chips are packed into the bag-like structure 9 such that at least a plurality of layers 2 of natural wood chips 3 are formed. In addition, in the present invention, the natural wood chips need to exhibit a massage effect and a moderate softness. Therefore, the above-mentioned stuffing conditions are not preferable to be excessively stuffed, and a certain fluidity is exhibited. It is preferable that the material is packed so as to form a proper state.

In the present invention, the natural wood chip layer 1 comprises:
To avoid excessive flow, and to maintain a certain hardness,
It is preferable that the natural wood chips 3 are packed in spaces 4, 4 ', 4 "and the like divided into a plurality of small sections.
In the present invention, as described above, since the natural wood chip layer 1 and the plant material layer 2 are integrally laminated,
The elasticity of the natural wood chips exerts a pleasant massage effect, and the pillow itself exhibits air permeability and moisture absorption due to the synergistic effect of the natural wood chips and the plant material. It is possible to maintain a cool state.

In the present invention, the natural wood chip layer 1 and the plant material layer 2 may be laminated in direct contact with each other, or a suitable cushioning material such as cotton, fiber, sawdust,
It may be one in which a layer 5 made of rice husk, a foamable elastic material, or the like is interposed. In addition, the pillow according to the present invention can exert the effect of forest bathing by the aroma of natural wood chips.

Therefore, by using the pillow according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect of refreshing sleep and health promotion by combining the massage effect and the forest bathing effect, as well as obtaining the effect of the head cold without the heat trapped in the pillow. Things become possible. Further, in the present invention, the pillow having the above-mentioned configuration may be used as it is, but an arbitrary elastic layer 6 or a stable pillow may be used to impart an appropriate cushioning property or maintain a predetermined shape. It is preferable to arrange the property retaining layer 7 on the surface of the plant material layer 2 opposite to the surface on which the natural wood chip layer 1 is formed.

The elastic layer 6 is required to have, for example, flexibility and at the same time an appropriate elasticity, and to give an appropriate cushioning property to the pillow. For this purpose, for example, it is appropriate to use a resin material such as a soft polyurethane having a high frequency and having open cells, and the thickness thereof is preferably 30 mm or more. On the other hand, as the stability retaining layer 7, any material can be used as long as it can retain the shape of the pillow, but preferably a resin material made of foamed polyethylene having a firing rate of about 30 times is used. It is.

The thickness of the stability maintaining layer 7 is at least 10
mm is required. Further, it is preferable that the stability maintaining layer 7 is used in combination with the elastic layer 6, and specifically, it is preferable that the stability maintaining layer 7 is disposed below the elastic layer 6 as shown in FIG. The pillow of the present invention having such a configuration is enveloped using an arbitrary side land and is provided for use by a user.
