Description

【考案の詳細な説明】【０００１】【考案の属する技術分野】本願考案は、頭の下に敷く枕に関するものである。【０００２】【考案の背景及び考案が解決しようとする課題】従来の枕は、例えば図６に示すような扁平状のものが一般的であるが、この図６に示す扁平状の枕１０では、頭Ｈを載せたときに首部Ｂと枕１０との間に隙間Ｓができる。即ち、頭Ｈを枕１０に載せた状態では、枕１０に後頭部Ａのみが接触し、首部Ｂは何ら支持していない状態となる。従って、図６の枕１０では、頭Ｈを載せたときに該頭Ｈを前側に屈曲させる作用が働き、首部Ｂが不自然な姿勢となって、寝苦しくなるとともに首部Ｂ付近の筋肉が緊張して肩凝りが発生し易いという問題があった。【０００３】本願考案は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであって、安眠でき且つ肩凝りが生じない構造の枕を提供することを目的としている。【０００４】【課題を解決するための手段】本願考案は、上記課題を解決するための手段として、次の構成を有している。即ち、本願考案は、包布内に芯材を収容した枕において、該枕の奥行方向の一端部に、人の首部の形状に見合った凸形状の嵩高部を形成していることを特徴としている。【０００５】包布としては、一般的な布生地のほかに、合成樹脂シートも採用できる。芯材には、「蕎麦殻」のような天然の充填材のほかに、発砲ウレタンフォームのようなもの使用できる。尚、この枕は、包布の外側を枕カバーで被包して使用することもできる。【０００６】本願の枕には、その奥行方向に一端部に、頭を載せたときに首部を支持し得る嵩高部を形成している。この嵩高部は、首部の形状に見合ったなだらかな凸形状であって、枕の他の部位より所定高さ（例えば５〜６cm程度）だけ嵩高になっている。尚、この枕における嵩高部に連続する他の部分は低位部と称する。【０００７】そして、本願の枕を使用すると、頭を載せたときに首部が嵩高部の上に載り且つ後頭部が低位部の上に載る。【０００８】【考案の効果】このように、本願考案の枕は、奥行方向一端部に首部の形状に見合った凸形状の嵩高部を形成しているので、頭を載せたときに、首部と後頭部とが枕上面にほぼ均等接圧で接触し、無理のない姿勢（首の筋や筋肉が無理に伸ばされない姿勢）で使用できる。従って、本願考案の枕では、安眠確保に寄与できるとともに、肩凝りが生じにくくなるという効果がある。【０００９】【考案の実施の形態】以下、本願実施形態の枕を説明すると、図１〜図４には本願第１実施形態が示され、図５には本願第２実施形態が示されている。【００１０】図１〜図４に示す第１実施形態の枕１は、布生地からなる包布２内を枕の奥行方向に容積の異なる３つの空所に区画して、各空所にそれぞれ大小太さの異なる芯材３，３，３を収容している。即ち、包布２内における枕奥行方向の一端部１１（図２、図４の左端部）には、大容積の空所を形成してそこに大径の芯材３を収容している。又、枕奥行方向の中間位置及び他端側の各空所は、比較的小容積にしてその各空所にそれぞれ小径の芯材３，３を収容している。従って、この枕１では、奥行方向一端部１１に厚さの厚い嵩高部４が形成され、他の部位が比較的厚さの薄い低位部５，５となっている。この第１実施形態では、嵩高部４の厚さが１０cm程度で、低位部５，５の厚さが４〜５cm程度になるように設計している。【００１１】包布２の一方の側縁には、図１及び図３に示すように、ジッパー２１が設けられており、該ジッパー２１を開くことによって、各芯材３，３，３を出し入れし得るようになっている。尚、他の実施形態では、低位部５，５の各芯材３，３は、包布２内に取り出し不能に埋設したままでもよい。【００１２】嵩高部４内の芯材３は、この第１実施形態では、図２及び図３に示すように、中袋３０内に蕎麦殻３２を収容したものを使用している。この中袋３０にもジッパー３１（図３）が設けられており、該中袋３０（芯材３）を包布２から取り出して中袋３０のジッパー３１を開放すると、内部の蕎麦殻３２を取り替えたり補充したりすることができる。尚、この嵩高部４の芯材３としては、蕎麦殻３２に代えて適宜の充填材を採用できる。【００１３】嵩高部４の上面部は、図４に示すように、人の首部Ｂの形状（凹形状）に見合ったなだらかな凸形状に形成されている。【００１４】低位部５，５内の各芯材３，３は、この第１実施形態では発砲ウレタンフォーム３３，３３を使用している。尚、この低位部５，５の各芯材３，３は、発砲ウレタンフォーム３３に代えて蕎麦殻や他の充填材に変更してもよい。【００１５】低位部５には、枕の幅方向に２つの溝状凹部６，６が形成されている。そして、図４に示すように頭Ｈを枕１に載せたときに、後頭部Ａと枕上面との間の溝状凹部６，６による空間部（空気が流通する）ができて、後頭部Ａと枕上面との間に熱がこもるのを防止できる。【００１６】この第１実施形態の枕１では、頭Ｈを載せたときに図４に示すように、首部Ｂが嵩高部４の上に載り且つ後頭部Ａが低位部５，５の上に載る。このとき、枕上面に首部Ｂと後頭部Ａとがほぼ均等接圧で接触するので、首部Ｂの筋や筋肉が不自然に伸ばされることがない。従って、この枕を使用すると、無理のない姿勢で頭Ｈを載せることができるので、安眠確保に寄与できるとともに、肩凝りが生じにくくなる。【００１７】図５に示す第２実施形態の枕１は、包布２内に発砲ウレタンフォーム３３の一体成型品からなる芯材３を収容している。尚、この第２実施形態の枕１も、奥行方向の一端部に嵩高部４が形成されているとともに、他の部分は低位部５となっている。そして、この枕１も第１実施形態のものと同様に使用されて、安眠確保と、肩凝り防止に寄与できる。[Detailed description of the invention] [0001] [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a pillow laid under a head. [0002] [Background of the invention and problems to be solved by the invention] Conventional pillows are generally flat, as shown in FIG. 6, for example. 6, the gap between the neck B and the pillow 10 when the head H is placed S is possible.
