[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a structure of an ice pillow cover for storing an ice pillow.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Ice pillows have been used to cool the head when there is a fever or headache. An ice pillow generally includes a vinyl or rubber main body for storing ice and a sealing fitting for sealing an opening of the main body. When using such an ice pillow, if the ice pillow is directly applied to the head, the head will be cooled too much and it is not good for the body. I have.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, simply wrapping the ice pillow with a towel could easily cause the towel to deviate from the ice pillow due to the movement of the patient's head, and the ice pillow could be exposed and directly hit the head. For this reason, if a bedridden patient uses an ice pillow at a hospital or the like, it is necessary to check regularly to see if the towel has shifted from the ice pillow. I had to rewind the towel every time. This is a huge workload for nurses and caregivers, and a solution was desired.

As a solution to this, it is conceivable to use a cover dedicated to the ice pillow. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-417 discloses such an ice pillow cover. In the ice pillow cover disclosed in this publication, the ice pillow is inserted into a bag-shaped cover having a water-absorbing pad therein. When such a cover is used, the ice pillow is stored in the bag-like cover, so that the cover can be prevented from being displaced to some extent as compared with a case where only a towel is wound.

[0005] However, in the above publication, the cover cannot be completely fitted to the ice pillow because the ice pillow insertion opening of the cover is open, and the movement of the head and the movement of the pillow still remain. The ice pillow may be exposed from the insertion slot and directly hit the head. To avoid this, the pillow insertion slot may be closed with a fastener or the like, but in this case, the entire pillow is hidden by the cover, so it is difficult to know the position of the ice pillow's sealing bracket. However, placing the head on the position of the sealing fitting during use may result in unexpected pain to the patient. In addition, when the ice inside the ice pillow melts and replaces the ice, if the entire ice pillow is stored in the cover, the ice pillow must be removed from the cover once, and it takes time to exchange the ice. .

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ice pillow cover which can be fitted well to an ice pillow, and can easily confirm a sealing fitting and exchange ice. Is to provide.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The ice pillow cover according to the present invention is formed with a storage portion having an insertion opening for storing the ice pillow body, a lid portion provided to cover the insertion opening of the storage portion, and the lid portion. A through hole through which an opening at one end of the ice pillow is inserted. Both the storage section and the lid are made of elastic toweling material. Then, with the main body of the ice pillow stored in the storage section and the insertion opening covered by the lid, the sealing fitting attached to the opening of the ice pillow is projected from the through hole of the lid.

In this way, when the ice pillow main body is stored in the storage section and the insertion opening of the storage section is covered with the lid, the ice pillow main body is sealed in the ice pillow cover by the storage section and the lid. The ice pillow cover will maintain a good fit without slipping off the ice pillow. On the other hand, the sealing fitting attached to the opening of the ice pillow protrudes from the through hole of the lid, so that the position of the sealing fitting can be easily visually checked, and the user can use the sealing fitting. Concerns about unexpected pain are eliminated. Furthermore, since the sealing fitting is outside the ice pillow cover, the ice can be exchanged by attaching and detaching the sealing fitting with the ice pillow still attached.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which an ice pillow 2 is stored in an ice pillow cover 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the ice pillow 2 includes an ice pillow main body 20 made of rubber or the like, and a sealing metal 21 for sealing an opening 22 on one end side of the main body 20. The opening 22 is provided with an opening 25 for draining water inside the main body 20 and supplying ice to the inside of the main body 20. A projecting piece 23 is provided on the opposite side of the opening 22 of the main body 20, and a hanging hole 24 is formed in the projecting piece 23. In addition, the sealing fitting 21 includes a pair of fastening arms 26 that are rotatable about a shaft 27 and a lock lever 29 that is rotatable about a shaft 28. When the lock lever 29 is tilted, the base of the opening 22 is clamped by the fastening arm 26 to seal the inside of the main body 20. When the lock lever 29 is raised, the clamping arm 26 is released. Then, the sealing fitting 21 can be removed from the main body 20 of the ice pillow 2.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the ice pillow cover 1 according to the present invention, wherein (a) is a perspective view and (b) is a sectional view. The ice pillow cover 1 has a pocket-shaped storage portion 50 for storing the ice pillow 2 of FIG. 2, a foldable lid portion 11 provided to cover the insertion opening 19 of the storage portion 50, and a lid portion 11. It is formed of a bag-shaped cover provided with a through hole 13 through which the opening 22 of the ice pillow 2 is inserted and a through hole 14 through which the projection 23 of the ice pillow 2 is inserted. The width of the through hole 13 is formed smaller than the width of the sealing member 21 of the ice pillow 2 in the longitudinal direction. The storage section 50 is constituted by a pair of covers 10 and 30, each of which covers the front and back surfaces of the ice pillow 2 stored in the storage section 50. Here, one cover 10 is formed by stacking two materials 10a and 10b, and the other cover 30 is formed by stacking three materials 30a, 30b and 30c. As a result, in the storage section 50, the cover 10 is thinner and the cover 30 is thicker. Further, the cover 11 is made of a stack of two materials 11a and 11b, like the cover 10. Each of these materials is made of an elastic towel material, and for example, a towel material of 75% cotton and 25% polyester is used. For the toweling, it is preferable to use as fine a material as possible to obtain a soft and comfortable feel. Reference numerals 12 and 15 to 17 denote edging portions provided on the stitched portions of the respective materials.

Next, a procedure for using the ice pillow cover 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, the lid 11 of the ice pillow cover 1 is folded back as shown in FIG. FIG. 4A is a perspective view showing a state in which the lid 11 is folded back, and FIG. 4B is a sectional view thereof. In FIG. 4A, reference numeral 18 denotes a suturing portion between the lid 11 and the cover 30. When the lid part 11 is folded back, the insertion port 19 of the storage part 50 is opened as shown in FIG. 4B, so that the ice pillow 2 is stored through the insertion port 19 as shown in FIG. Insert into the part 50. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), after inserting the ice pillow 2 until the projecting piece 23 at the tip of the ice pillow 2 protrudes from the through hole 14, the lid 11 is folded back to the front side, and the insertion port 19 is inserted by the lid 11. Cover. In this process, the user holds the opening 22 of the ice pillow 2 by hand and passes it through the through hole 13 of the lid 11, and also passes the sealing fitting 21 attached to the opening 22 through the through hole 13. At this time, since the lid portion 11 is made of an elastic material, the sealing metal 21 pushes out the through hole 13 of the lid portion 11 and easily projects from the through hole 13. In this state, the main body 20 of the ice pillow 2 is confined in the ice pillow cover 1 by the storage portion 50 and the lid portion 11, so that the cover 1 maintains a good fitted state without shifting from the ice pillow 2. Thus, the ice pillow cover 1 is attached to the ice pillow 2 in the state shown in FIG.

After storing the ice pillow 2 in the ice pillow cover 1 as described above, as shown in FIG. 5C, the ice pillow cover 1 is turned over so that the thicker cover 30 comes to the upper side. Then, in this state, the head is put on the cover 30 and the ice pillow 2 is used. While the ice pillow 2 has sufficient ice inside and maintains a low temperature below a certain temperature, the top of the ice pillow 2 is covered with the thicker cover 30 in this way, so that the head is protected. You can keep it from getting too cold. After the ice inside the ice pillow 2 melts with the passage of time and the temperature of the ice pillow 2 rises to a certain extent, the cooling effect is reduced by putting the head on the thicker cover 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, the cooling effect can be maintained by putting the head on the thin cover 10 with the thin cover 10 facing upward.

Here, for example, by making the colors of the materials different between the cover 10 and the cover 30, the thick side and the thin side of the storage section 50 can be visually distinguished. Can be easily determined. As a discriminating means, the character "Please use this side up first" may be displayed on the cover 30, or an appropriate mark may be displayed instead. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the rim 15 of the lid 11 can also be used as a mark.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, since the ice pillow 2 is sealed in the ice pillow cover 1 by the storage portion 50 and the lid portion 11, even if the head moves, the cover 1 is kept in the ice pillow. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a state of fitting to the ice pillow 2 without deviation from the pillow 2. As a result, it is possible to reduce the work burden on nurses, caregivers, and the like without having to work in hospitals and the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the ice pillow 2 is stored in the cover 1, the user can easily position the sealing pillow 21 because the sealing member 21 of the ice pillow 2 protrudes from the through hole 13. Since the user pays attention so that the head and the face do not hit the sealing metal 21, there is no fear that the sealing metal 21 may cause unexpected pain. In addition, since the width of the through hole 13 is smaller than the width of the sealing member 21 in the longitudinal direction, even if the ice pillow cover 1 moves a little, the sealing member 21 passes through the through hole 13 so as to cover the ice pillow cover 1. There is no hiding inside. Since the sealing fitting 21 is outside the cover 1, it is possible to replace the ice by attaching and detaching the sealing fitting 21 while the cover 1 is attached to the ice pillow 2. The trouble of removing and putting on can be saved.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, since the projection 23 of the ice pillow 2 projects outside through the through hole 14 of the cover 1 in a state where the ice pillow 2 is stored in the cover 1, Can be hung using the hanging holes 24 of the protruding pieces 23 while the cover 1 is attached to the ice pillow 2, so that the cover 1 does not have to be removed from the ice pillow 2 each time.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention. Here, the covers 40 and 42 and the lid 41 are made of a single material. These materials are made of an elastic toweling material as described above, but the cover 40 and the lid 41 are made of a thin material, and the cover 42 is made of a thick material. The procedure for attaching the cover 1 to the ice pillow 2 is the same as that described above. The ice pillow 2 is stored in the ice pillow cover 1 as shown in FIG. After that, the cover 1 is turned upside down and the ice pillow 2 is used as shown in FIG. In this case as well, while the ice pillow 2 is maintained at a low temperature, the upper part of the ice pillow 2 is covered with a thick cover 42 to prevent overcooling of the head, and after the temperature of the ice pillow 2 becomes constant, By setting the thin cover 40 on the upper side in the state of FIG. 6A, the cooling effect can be maintained.

The present invention is not limited to only the above-described embodiment, and various other forms can be adopted. For example, in order to make the sealing metal 21 easily come out of the through hole 13, rubber may be inserted into an edge of the through hole 13 so that the through hole 13 can be extended and contracted. Further, the covers 10 and 30 constituting the storage section 50 may be made openable and closable by fasteners or Velcro (registered trademark) or the like, and the ice pillow 2 may be inserted through the opening.
