DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3 show a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The basic configuration of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
A charcoal storage body 3 in which a charcoal 2 is stored in a breathable storage bag 1, a breathable outer bag 4 for storing the charcoal storage body 3, and a charcoal storage body 3 stored in the outer bag 4. Cushion material 5
It is composed of The overall size is shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, for example, the horizontal X is 60 cm and the vertical Y is 40 c
m and thickness Z are about 20 cm.

The charcoal container 3 has, for example, a diameter D of 10 c.
m and a length L are formed in a rod shape of about 40 cm, and three rods are prepared in the embodiment. The charcoal 2 is fired from red pine. Charcoal made from Akamatsu 2
Is relatively brittle and therefore less brittle and less likely to collapse. The charcoal 2 is composed of small blocks that are cut to form a maximum width of 1 to 3 cm. A large number of these small blocks are assembled and stored in the storage bag 1. If the maximum width exceeds 3 cm, a rough feeling is likely to occur, and if the maximum width is less than 1 cm, the support is too soft and the supportability deteriorates. It should be noted that even if a small size having a maximum width of less than 1 cm enters a little, there is no problem because it is interposed between the small blocks.

The cushion material 5 is composed of a set of small pieces obtained by slicing wood. Specifically, cushion material 5
Has a shape like a so-called shaved knot obtained by shaving bonito and has a length of about 3 cm or less. In the embodiment, red pine is used as a raw material, the raw material is steamed with steam, processed, and then dried. Further, the thickness of the small piece of the cushion material 5 is formed to be 0.3 mm or less.
When the thickness exceeds 0.3 mm, the hardness increases and the cushioning property is inferior.

The small pieces of the cushion material 5 are manufactured, for example, according to a manufacturing process as shown in FIG. Describing based on the drawing, first, red pine wood is sliced into small pieces. In this case, 6 or the like is used only for electric cutting. in this case,
The thickness of the small piece of the cushion material 5 is formed to be 0.3 mm or less. As the small pieces of the cushion material 5, it is effective to use cutting chips generated when manufacturing a wooden carved container. That is, in the past, cutting chips were discarded, but the cutting chips tended to become small pieces of 0.3 mm or less,
It can be used as the cushion material 5.

Next, this is steamed with steam. For example, about 3
An upper pot 8 having a capacity capable of accommodating a small piece of 0 kg and having many holes in the bottom 7 is mounted on a lower pot 9 which generates steam by boiling hot water. Place. Then, the small pieces are put in the upper pot 8, the hot water put in the lower pot 9 is boiled, and steam is blown out from the bottom 7 of the upper pot 8 to steam. For example, steam is applied to a 30 kg strip for 8 hours. Thereby, components such as tar in the strip are extracted by the steam, and the strip becomes porous.

Thereafter, the generation of steam is stopped, and dried hot air is blown into the lower kettle 9 from the blower 10 to blow out the hot air from the bottom 7 of the upper kettle 8 to dry. As the hot air, for example, a combustion gas obtained by burning charcoal is used.
Hot air is blown for about 2 hours to reduce the water content to several percent. This makes the strip softer like cotton.

The storage bag 1 and the outer bag 4 are both made of the same cloth. Preferably, it is made of a nylon cloth having a coarseness of 200 to 250. In the embodiment, a No. 230 cloth made of 100% nylon is used. Further, the storage bag 1 is formed as a single layer, and the outer bag 4 is formed as a double layer (4a, 4b).

Therefore, when manufacturing this pillow,
The storage bag 1, the outer bag 4, the charcoal 2, and the cushion material 5 are prepared, and first, small blocks of the charcoal 2 are put in the appropriate number of storage bags 1 and sewn. Next, the charcoal storage body 3 (three in the embodiment)
Is stored in the outer bag 4 and the charcoal storage body 3 is enclosed in the outer bag 4, that is, the charcoal storage body 3 is positioned substantially at the center of the outer bag 4. The cushion material 5 is accommodated in the space with the body 3. Thereafter, the outer bag 4 is sutured. In the embodiment, about 1.5 kg of charcoal 2 and about 1.0 kg of cushion material 5 are used.

Next, when using this pillow, the outer bag 4 is covered with a pillow cover or the like, and the head is supported when lying down at bedtime. In this case, since the cushion material 5 is provided, the head does not directly hit the charcoal storage body 3, so that the charcoal 2 does not feel rough and the sleeping comfort is improved.
In particular, since the cushion material 5 is composed of a collection of small pieces obtained by slicing wood, it is soft and has good cushioning properties.

Further, since the small pieces of the cushion material 5 are made of red pine as a raw material, the raw material is steamed and processed, and then dried, the dust is removed, so that the air permeability is good. Since the heat does not remain, the cushioning property is improved accordingly. In addition, since it is a red pine, it has good tissue connectivity and is less likely to be friable, so that it is extremely difficult for the sting to come out of the outer bag 4 and the feel of the pillow surface is improved. Furthermore, the thickness of the small piece of the cushion material 5 is 0.3
mm or less, the aggregate of the strips becomes soft like cotton, and the cushioning property is further improved.

Further, since the charcoal storage body 3 is located at the center, if the head pushes the cushioning material 5 to some extent and sinks, the head is pressed by the charcoal storage body 3, so that the head does not sink too much inside. That is, the cushioning material 5 ensures cushioning properties and does not immerse too much, so that comfort is improved. In addition, since Akamatsu is used as a raw material, the Akamatsu charcoal 2 has relatively strong stiffness, so it is small in brittleness and hardly collapses. The situation that is too much is prevented.

Further, since the charcoal storage body 3 is contained in the cushioning material 5, the impact is alleviated by that much, and since the red pine is used as a raw material, the charcoal of the red pine is relatively strong. , And its maximum width is 1-3cm
Because of the small block, the charcoal 2 is less likely to collapse, which makes it harder for charcoal powder to come out, becomes less susceptible to dirt, and prevents a situation in which the charcoal powder becomes unusable.
The durability is greatly improved. Further, even if charcoal powder is generated by long-term use, the storage bag 1 and the outer bag 4 are made of nylon cloth having a coarseness of 200 to 250, so that the charcoal powder is It is difficult to come out, and accordingly, dirt is prevented.

Further, since the charcoal 2 is porous,
Air permeability, adsorbability of moisture and odorous components, and heat absorption are exhibited, thereby improving the environment around the head. In particular, since red pine is used as a raw material, the red pine charcoal 2 is relatively stiff and hard to collapse, so that the porosity of the charcoal 2 can be maintained. Endothermic properties can be improved. In addition, since the small block has a maximum width of 1 to 3 cm, the number of porous portions can be made relatively large, and accordingly, air permeability, adsorbability of moisture and odor components, and heat absorption can be secured.

Further, since the cushioning material 5 is composed of a set of small pieces obtained by slicing wood, the scent of wood is pleasant and comfortable. It has the same effect as doing it, calms the nervousness, and provides a comfortable sleep.

In the above embodiment, the material of the charcoal 2 and the material of the cushion material 5 or the materials of the bags 1 and 4 are not limited to those described above, and may be changed as appropriate. Of course, the size and shape are not limited to those described above.

It is possible to improve comfort and comfort, and the cushion material absorbs the load on the head, so that the feeling of charcoal is eliminated and the sleeping comfort is improved and the comfort can be improved. Also, since the charcoal storage body is enclosed by the cushion material and located at the approximate center, if the head pushes the cushion material to some extent and sinks,
It will be held down by the charcoal storage body, so that the head will not be immersed too much inside. That is, the cushioning property ensures the cushioning property and the head is not excessively immersed, so that the comfort can be improved. Furthermore,
Because the charcoal storage body is included in the cushioning material,
As a result, the impact is alleviated, and as a result, the charcoal is less likely to collapse, making it more difficult for charcoal powder to come out, making it less likely to become dirty, and preventing the situation in which it can collapse and become unusable,
Durability can be greatly improved.

Further, when charcoal is fired from red pine, the red pine charcoal has relatively strong stiffness, so that it is less brittle and less fragile, so that the head is prevented from being excessively immersed in the inside. Can be. In addition, since it is hard to collapse, charcoal powder hardly comes out, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the charcoal powder becomes dirty. Furthermore, since it is hard to collapse, it is possible to prevent a situation in which it cannot be used because it collapses, and it is possible to greatly improve the durability and to maintain the porosity of the charcoal. , Etc., and heat absorption.

Further, the charcoal storage body should have a maximum width of 1 to 3.
When a large number of small blocks of charcoal formed in cm are assembled and stored in the above-mentioned storage bag, the size of the small blocks is moderate, so the feeling of ruggedness is eliminated and the supportability is maintained well. It is possible to improve the durability by making it harder to collapse and to make the porous portion relatively large, thereby improving the air permeability, the adsorbability of moisture and odor components, and the heat absorption. be able to.
