Description

  The present invention relates to an annular sleep pillow that anyone can use conveniently and well.

JP-A-2000-23796 has been proposed for an annular cushion that can also be used as a pillow, and this is considered to be a publicly known technique that is most similar to the present invention.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-23796 No. 6-25191

  However, the annular cushion of the above-mentioned known invention is merely a product in which a commercially available air pillow is filled with “elastic material (18) such as cotton or urethane foam” instead of the air.

  In other words, the filling of the outer half fabrics (12) and (12) is “elastic material (18) such as cotton and urethane foam”, so that no wrinkles are produced in the stitched state. If the finish of the product (10) is beautiful and smooth, the wrinkle cannot give a shiatsu effect to the head of the sleeping person, unlike the granular material in which individual particles move.

  Since the elastic material (18) as a whole is not elastically deformed, it is so soft as to be in close contact with the head, so even if there is a circular opening (20), the sleeper's sweat is absorbed, so-called Not only does it give the opposite effect of cold head heat, but when the elastic material (18) ages over time, it cannot support the sleeper's head, and the head flattens to a state where it sinks to the floor. It is.

  Even if it is an annular cushion, the height of the minimum diameter part (m) and the maximum diameter part (M) is intentionally different, so that the bedside of the sleeping person must be kept at the lowest Similarly, the top of the head must be placed on the high maximum diameter part (M) on the small diameter part (m), and the direction of use as a pillow will be regulated to a certain level. I can't.

  Furthermore, since the heights of the minimum diameter part (m) and the maximum diameter part (M) are changed differently and the circular opening (20) is in an eccentric position, the production of the annular cushion is very troublesome. Yes, it is necessary to determine the necessary dimensions based on difficult and difficult calculation formulas, and the mass production effect cannot be maximized.

  The present invention aims to improve such problems, and in order to achieve the object, in claim 1, as an annular sleep pillow, a cross section having a constant height that can support a sleeping person's head is formed in an approximately mountain shape. Consists of a folded front cloth, and a flat backing cloth joined and integrated along the edge and the outer peripheral edge of the vent opening in the center,

  The sleeper's head does not sink to the bed surface into the hollow interior of the front and back cloths, such as wood chips, buckwheat berries, synthetic resin beads, synthetic resin straw slices, and other granular materials It is characterized in that it is determined so that the sleeping person's head and neck muscles can be acupressured by the granular material that fills only the necessary amount and moves freely.

  Further, in the structure of claim 2, a plurality of front cloth pieces having the same size as a fan shape in a plan view are joined to a whole donut shape and a half donut shape in a plan view. The two back cloth pieces having a size are composed of the above-mentioned front cloth and a back cloth joined to a corresponding donut shape,

  The vent opening edge portions of the front cloth and the back cloth and the outer peripheral edge portions are sewn.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the opening diameter of the vent opening at the center is about 6.5 cm, the height of the front cloth folded into a substantially mountain shape is about 8 to 10 cm, and the back cloth is in contact with the bed surface. The zone width is about 13cm, each dimensioned.

  The structure of claim 4 is characterized in that the hollow material between the front cloth and the back cloth is filled with a certain amount of the granular material to the extent that a loose clearance of about 1/12 / 1-118 is secured.

  Further, the structure of claim 5 is characterized in that the front cloth and the back cloth are different from each other, and different colored colors and designs are applied.

According to the above configuration of claim 1, since the apex of the outer cloth folded into a substantially mountain-shaped cross section having a constant height has an annular shape in a plan view, even if it sinks to some extent during use, In addition, even if there is a change in the size of the head of the sleeping person, the head can be handled in a stable manner without sinking it down to the futon or other bed surface. There is no risk of moving to the bedside pillow.

  Moreover, the hollow interiors of the front and back fabrics are filled with wood chips, buckwheat nuts, synthetic resin beads, synthetic resin straw slices, and other granular materials in a sealed state that allows the particles to float. Therefore, the head and neck muscles can be effectively acupressure following the sleep of the sleeper, etc., thereby preventing the occurrence of dizziness, shoulder discipline, Meniere's disease, and snoring. To get.

  In particular, if the configuration of claim 2 is adopted, the annular sleep pillow can be easily and correctly manufactured as a graceful appearance form that is less prone to wrinkle, which helps to improve the mass production effect.

  If the structure of claim 3 is adopted, even if there is a change in the size of the head of the sleeping person, it becomes a universal sleep pillow that can always respond to this, and it will also meet repetitive turning (position change). There is no risk of misalignment, and there is an effect of obtaining a sleep pillow having excellent placement force.

  Further, if the structure of claim 4 is adopted, the particles are familiarly moved according to the filling amount of the granular material in which a certain floating gap is secured, and the head and neck of the sleeping person are more effectively acupressure. can do.

  Furthermore, if the structure of claim 5 is adopted, a sleeping pillow having an increasingly elegant appearance can be obtained by the different coloring color and design pattern of the front and back cloths, and the identification of the front and back sides becomes clear at a glance. .

  In the following, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, which show the finished product and the use state of the sleep pillow, (A) is a towel fabric for summer and a blanket fabric for winter. It is a surface cloth made of various fabrics suitable for other pillows, is shaped into a donut shape in plan view with a constant diameter (d), and is folded up into a substantially mountain shape in cross section with a constant height (h) There is a margin that can be made.

  (B) is a flat lining cloth that serves as a grounding base to the bed surface (F), and has a donut shape corresponding to the above-mentioned face cloth (A), which is the same cloth as the face cloth (A). However, it is not a problem, but it is preferable to use a cloth such as cotton, hemp, or felt that is different from the front cloth (A), to help identify the front and back.

  Further, the front cloth (A) and the back cloth (B) may be provided with different colored colors and design patterns by means such as dyeing, printing, and embroidery.

  In any case, the vent opening edge (11) and the outer peripheral edge (12) that open at the center of the front cloth (A) and the back cloth (B) are sewn, bonded, and other bonds. The inside of the hollow is sealed with wood chips, buckwheat berries, synthetic resin beads, synthetic resin straw slices, and other granular materials (13), one or a mixture of two or more thereof. It is filled as a state. (C) shows the central vent.

  When the above-mentioned granular material (13) is filled into the hollow bottom of the front cloth (A) and the back cloth (B) in a full state, it becomes a hard and expanded pillow due to the solidification of the granular material (13). Considering the relationship with the average size (granularity) and material of the granular material (13), it is filled in a certain amount to the extent that a floating gap of about 1/12 / 1-118 is generated.

  Then, the head (14) of the sleeping person (M) can be stably supported without fear of sinking to the bed surface (F), and even if the head (14) changes in size, The particles of the granular material (13) freely and familiarly move even after turning over (changing the body position), and impart a shiatsu effect to the head (14) and neck (15) of the sleeping person (M). Can do.

  In that case, if the wood (preferably hard shiitake mushroom or tochi) chips and buckwheat berries cut at random are adopted as the granular material (13), in addition to the excellent acupressure effect, it gives cold air that becomes head cold foot heat. There is also an effect to obtain. On the other hand, if synthetic resin beads, synthetic resin straws or the like are used, the pillow can be conveniently washed and dried.

  1 to 4, the most preferable dimensions of the present invention are the above-mentioned diameter (d) of about 32.5 cm, the height (h) of about 8 to 10 cm, and the opening diameter (s) of the vent (C). Is set to about 6.5 cm, the grounding band width (w) of the lining cloth (B) with respect to the bed surface (F) is set to about 13 cm, and the grounding band width (w) of the lining cloth (B) is the hypotenuse. At the apex (p) of the substantially right triangle in cross section, the head (14) of the sleeping person (M) can be supported stably. This is an ideal preparation for use.

  5 to 13 show the manufacturing process of the above-mentioned sleep pillow. In the manufacturing process, the front cloth (A) is preliminarily cut into a fan shape in plan view as shown in FIG. A total of six front cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) (A4) (A5) (A6) having a size are prepared. On the other hand, by cutting the backing fabric (B) into a half donut shape in plan view as shown in FIG. 6, a total of two backing fabric pieces (B1) (B2) having the same size as each other are obtained. Have it ready.

  And, first, by joining three pieces of the outer cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) and the outer cloth pieces (A4) (A5) (A6) as one set, as shown in FIGS. The back cloth pieces (B1) and (B2) are formed once into two sheets each forming a half donut shape in plan view corresponding to each piece.

  Therefore, two pieces of the front cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) and the front cloth pieces (A4) (A5) (A6), which are the half-doughnut type, are continuously used as the back cloth pieces (B1) (B2). 9 and 10 respectively, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the central ventilation opening edges (11) are sewn and integrated by a semicircular portion at the same time.

  Next, the half donut-shaped outer cloth pieces (A1), (A2), and (A3) and the outer cloth pieces (A4), (A5), and (A6) are arranged in parallel as a pair on the diameter line as shown in FIG. The edges (16a) are sewn together, and the half doughnut-shaped backing cloth piece (B1) and the backing cloth piece (B2) are also connected to either one of the straight edges (the radius line) as shown in FIG. 16b) Sew only at the other side, do not sew at the other straight edge side, and keep the granular material filling slit (17) in the released state.

  Then, the outer peripheral edge portion (12) as shown in FIG. 13 in which the front cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) (A4) (A5) (A6) and the back cloth pieces (B1) (B2) are spread. It is sewn in the comrades, so that it will be finished in a donut shape in the plan view as a whole, but the front cloth (A) and the back cloth (B) are still released at the other straight edge part that becomes the above-mentioned radius line Since it exists in the state, the said granular material (13) can be filled into the hollow inside of a front cloth (A) and a back cloth (B) from the slit (17) for the granular material filling.

  Finally, the straight edge portions in the released state are also sewed and the granular material filling slit (17) is sealed, so that the finished product of the sleep pillow as shown in FIGS. Instead of sewing and sealing the granular material filling slit (17), a slide fastener or other opening / closing tool (not shown) is attached here, and the user can insert and remove the granular material (13). It may be determined that

  According to the manufacturing process described above, the necessary number of front and back cloths (A) and back cloth (B) as a whole as a whole including the slit (17) for sealing the granular material including the annular sleep pillow is sealed. From the above, it can be finished into an excellent and elegant finished product in which wrinkles are unlikely to occur, and a total of 6 pieces of the top cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) (A4) (A5) (A6) and 2 in total Combined with the fact that the back piece of cloth (B1) (B2) is divided into the same size, the mass production effect of the sleep pillow is also improved.

  However, in the illustrated embodiment, the back cloth pieces (B1) and (B2) are prepared as a total of two half-doughnut-shaped pieces, and therefore the front cloth pieces (A1) (A2) (A3) (A4) ( A5) Although (A6) is set to a total of 6 even numbers, it may be divided into an even number other than the total of 6 sheets, and the back cloth (B) is an odd number of one or more sheets, The front cloth (A) may be divided into a plurality of odd numbers. Furthermore, as long as it is a ring-shaped sleep pillow, it may be shaped into a regular polygonal plane contour shape instead of the illustrated donut shape.

  When using the sleep pillow of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the diameter (d) from above is set as a stationary state in which the lining cloth (B) is grounded to the futon and other bed surface (F). A larger separate pillow cover (18) may be laid, and the head (14) of the sleeping person (M) may be placed from above, and there is no restriction on the direction of use as a pillow.

  Then, since the apex (p) of the top cloth (A) bent into a substantially mountain-shaped cross section with a constant height (h) has an annular shape in plan view, even if it sinks to some extent In addition, even if there is a change in the size of the head (14) of the sleeping person (M), the head (14) can always be handled with good stability, and even when it is repeatedly turned over (position change) There is no risk of moving to the bedside of the sleep pillow itself. The sleeper (M) can be kept in a state of fever in the head with the central vent (C).

  Moreover, it is necessary that the granular material (13) does not sink the head (14) of the sleeping person (M) to the bed surface (F) in the hollow interior of the front cloth (A) and the back cloth (B). Since the individual particles are in a state where they can move, the head (14) and neck (15), which are so-called acupoints such as dizziness, shoulder punishment, and Meniere's disease, Acupressure can be effectively applied to the pond and the top pole, and snoring that causes the soft palate to vibrate can be prevented.

  The central vent (C) can be used for natural drying, for example, through a laundry basket, and the pillow cover (18) is also separate from the sleep pillow itself, so you can freely use it. It can be used interchangeably and can be washed.
