Description

  The present invention relates to a pillow used for bedding, and particularly to a pillow having portions with different hardness.

It is said that the support shape of the head and neck of the human body by the pillow at bedtime is ideally maintained in the state where the posture when standing is rotated 90 degrees as it is, Due to the growing interest in health, pillows with various structures have been devised. As one type of such a conventional pillow, for example, as in Patent Document 1 below, a pillow having a hard material filled in a portion supporting the neck is known.
Utility Model Registration No. 2544955

  However, the pillow described in Patent Document 1 does not necessarily have a good feeling of use because the neck directly hits the portion filled with the hard material, as shown in the figure of the state of use. It could only be used in the state shown.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its technical problem is to support the head and neck of a sleeping human body in an ideal form as much as possible, and it is easy to use and easy to use. It is to provide a pillow with a plump appearance.

  As a means for effectively solving the technical problem described above, the pillow according to the invention of claim 1 is such that the pillow body includes a relatively soft soft support portion and a relatively hard support portion. A support part is arrange | positioned along at least one side in one side and a planar projection shape among the upper and lower surfaces of the said pillow main body. In other words, this pillow supports the neck at a relatively high position via a part of the soft support that covers the hard support, with the hard support being on the lower side of the neck and facing downward. Therefore, the hard support portion does not directly contact the neck portion, and the soft support portion can stably support the head in a posture that does not lift the head much. Moreover, if it uses so that a hard support part may face upward, a hard support part can also be made to contact a neck part directly.

  A pillow according to a second aspect of the present invention is the pillow according to the first aspect, wherein the pillow main body is embedded in a main body bag made up of a pair of upper and lower fabrics, and the rigid support portion in the pillow main body Are each made of a filling material filled in an inner bag sewn on one fabric in the main body bag, and the soft support portion in the pillow body is made of a filling material filled between the main body bag and the inner bag. Is. If it does in this way, a hard support part and a soft support part will be stabilized inside a pillow.

  A pillow according to a third aspect of the present invention is the pillow according to the first aspect, wherein a plurality of hard support portions are arranged and extend substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other. If it does in this way, a head can be stably supported among a plurality of hard support parts spaced apart from each other.

  The pillow according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the configuration according to the third aspect, wherein the plurality of hard support portions are set to different hardnesses. If it does in this way, the hardness and height of the hard support part which supports a neck part can be selected according to liking and a body shape by changing the direction of a pillow.

  The pillow according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the structure according to the third aspect, wherein the plurality of hard support portions are set to have substantially the same hardness. In this way, since almost the same feel can be obtained regardless of which hard support portion hits the neck, it can be used without worrying about the positional relationship of the hard support portions.

  The pillow according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the structure according to the first or third aspect, wherein the difference in hardness between the soft support portion and the hard support portion is due to a difference in filling density of the same material. In this case, the soft support portion and the hard support portion can be made of the same material.

  In the pillow according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first or third aspect, the hardness difference between the soft support portion and the hard support portion is due to a difference in material. That is, by selecting a combination of various materials in consideration of flexibility, weight, price, breathability, hygroscopicity, etc., from materials generally used as pillow filling materials, soft support and hard An arbitrary hardness difference of the support portion can be set.

  The pillow according to the invention of claim 8 is the pillow according to claim 1 or 3, wherein the inner edge in the planar projection shape of the hard support portion is curved or bent.

  A pillow according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is the pillow according to the eighth aspect, wherein the curvature or bending of the inner edge in the planar projection shape of the hard support portion is the direction in which the width of the hard support portion is reduced most at the longitudinal center portion. It was made.

  According to the pillow according to the present invention, the neck is supported relatively high by one hard support part directly or through a part of the soft support part that covers the hard support part, and a plurality of hard support parts spaced apart from each other are supported. Since the soft support part stably supports the head in a posture that does not lift up so much, the head and neck can be supported in an ideal shape, and the feeling of use can be changed by changing the orientation of the pillow. Since it is obtained, usability can be improved.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a pillow according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a pillow according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the pillow according to the present invention as viewed from the opposite side to FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ in FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a process of manufacturing a pillow according to the present invention.

  That is, in the pillow according to this embodiment, a pillow body 1 on which a not-illustrated outer cloth or pillow cover is externally displayed has an appearance as shown in FIGS. It has a size that can be supported over the part. As shown in FIG. 3, the pillow body 1 includes a soft support portion 11 made of a relatively soft filler and first and second hard support portions 12 made of a relatively hard filler. The first and second hard support portions 12 and 13 are arranged in a state of being unevenly distributed along one of the upper and lower surfaces of the pillow body 1 (the lower surface of the pillow body 1 in FIG. 3). , Extending substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the pillow body 1 is filled in a body bag 14 in which a pair of fabrics 14 a and 14 b facing each other are stitched up and down. The two hard support portions 12 and 13 are filled in a pair of inner bags 15 and 16 constituted by one fabric 14b in the main body bag 14 and a pair of elongated inner cloths 15a and 16a stitched thereto, and the pillow main body 1 The soft support portion 11 is filled between the main body bag 14 and the inner bags 15 and 16. As shown in FIG. 4, the inner bags 15, 16 a are three-dimensionally sewn in such a manner that the longitudinal ends of the inner fabrics 15 a, 16 a are gathered or tucked together. Further, a part of the soft support portion 11 is filled so as to cover the inner bags 15 and 16 filled with the first and second hard support portions 12 and 13.

  Each of the soft support portion 11 and the first and second hard support portions 12 and 13 is preferably made of feathers made of a mixture of down and small feathers. It is set to low repulsion by filling with density, and the first and second hard support parts 12, 13 are set to high repulsion by filling feathers at a higher density than the soft support part 11. The first hard support 12 and the second hard support 13 also have different filling densities of feathers. For example, the second hard support 13 is more repulsive than the first hard support 12. Is set. Moreover, the soft support part 11 has a soft feel by increasing the down ratio in the feathers (less the small feather ratio) compared to the first and second hard support parts 12 and 13. .

  In addition to feathers, the soft support 11 can be selected from, for example, wool, synthetic fiber cotton, cotton, foamed urethane foam chips, etc. The first and second hard supports 12, 13 Can be selected from the above-mentioned feathers, wool or synthetic fiber cotton, cotton, foamed urethane foam chips, buckwheat husks, beads, shredded synthetic resin pipes, and the like. When feathers are used, the fabrics 14a and 14b constituting the main body bag 14 and the inner cloths 15a and 16a constituting the inner bags 15 and 16 are selected so that the feathers hardly pass through as much as possible (down proof fabric). Is done.

  The pillow according to this embodiment configured as described above is preferably used with the first and second hard support portions 12 and 13 on the lower side, as shown in FIG. is there. And in this case, since the soft support part 11 becomes relatively upper side, as shown in FIG. 1, it becomes a plump appearance as a whole, and it looks good.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an example in which the pillow according to this embodiment is used with the user lying on its back with the first and second hard support portions 12 and 13 on the lower side, FIG. These are explanatory drawings which show the example which used the user with the face turned sideways.

  That is, in the use state shown in FIG. 5, the first hard support portion 12 with high resilience supports the neck 2 a of the user 2 through a part 11 a of the soft support portion 11 with softness and low resilience, The occipital region 2b of the user 2 is supported by the soft support portion 11 having low resilience at a position between the first and second hard support portions 12 and 13. For this reason, the neck 2a is supported at a relatively high position by the high repulsive first hard support 12 and the back head 2b is supported at a position slightly lower than the neck 2a by the low repulsion soft support 11 and stands up. The sleeping posture is improved because it is supported in a natural posture that is close to a state in which the posture is rotated 90 degrees as it is. In addition, since the hard support portion 12 does not directly contact the neck portion 2a and is supported through the part 11a of the soft support portion 11, the feel is soft and there is no feeling of pressure on the neck portion 2a. And since the back head 2b is supported between the 1st and 2nd hard support parts 12 and 13, it is supported stably.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the user 2 turns his face sideways from the state of FIG. 5, the neck 2 a is supported at a relatively high position by the first hard support portion 12 with high resilience. Since the portion from the chin side 2c to the temporal head 2d is supported at a position slightly lower than the neck 2a by the low repulsion soft support 11, the natural posture is maintained in this case as well.

  5 and 6 show an example of use in which the first hard support portion 12 is located on the lower side of the neck portion 2a. On the contrary, the first hard support portion 12 is further further than the first hard support portion 12. It can also be used such that the second hard support portion 13 with high resilience is located below the neck portion 2a.

  Next, FIG. 7 is explanatory drawing which shows the example which used the pillow by this embodiment so that the 1st and 2nd hard support parts 12 and 13 may become upper side, and a user turned on his back. . That is, in the use state shown in FIG. 7, the support force of the pillow body 1 with respect to the neck 2a and the back of the head 2b of the user 2 is equivalent to that used in the manner shown in FIG. Since the first hard support portion 12 directly hits, it is suitable when a hard feeling is preferred. Moreover, what is necessary is just to make it the 2nd hard support part 13 contact | abut the neck part 2a, when obtaining a harder touch.

  In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of hard support portions are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or more hard support portions may be used. For example, as illustrated in FIG. What arrange | positioned the part 17 in the outer peripheral part of the pillow main body 1 etc. can be considered. Also in this case, of course, the hard support portion 17 is unevenly distributed along one of the upper and lower surfaces of the pillow body 1.

  Moreover, the inner edge in the planar projection shape of the hard support parts 12 and 13 (or 17) does not necessarily need to be linear, and may be curved or bent. The central part of the pillow main body 1 can be made relatively harder or softer than the both end parts depending on the direction of bending or bending, and as a result, the range of selection can be expanded depending on the user's preference. be able to.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the pillow according to another embodiment of the present invention. That is, in the form shown in FIG. 9, the inner edge stitched portions 12 a and 13 a in the planar projection shape of the hard support portions 12 and 13 are arranged in the direction in which the width of the hard support portions 12 and 13 is reduced most at the central portion in the longitudinal direction. It is curved.

  Here, for example, in a sleeping posture with the body lying sideways, the pillow is more comfortable than a sleeping posture with the body lying on its back. In many cases, the position is biased to the part. And according to the form shown by FIG. 9, since the width | variety of the hard support parts 12 and 13 is relatively narrow in the center part of the pillow main body 1, and the width | variety of the soft support part 11 is relatively wide, it is used. When the person is lying on his / her back with his head positioned at the center of the pillow body 1, the back of the head is supported at a relatively low position. Since the width is relatively wide and the width of the soft support portion 11 is relatively narrow, the temporal position displaced to a position biased toward the end of the pillow body 1 when turned into a horizontal sleeping posture by turning over The part is supported at a relatively high position. Therefore, a comfortable feeling of use can be obtained both in the lying posture on the back and in the lying posture.
