Description

  The present invention relates to a horizontally long pillow covered with a bag-like epidermis as a whole, and more particularly to a pillow that has a good fit in the back of the head and pursues a comfortable sleep without feeling pressure on the ear, and comfort.

  Pillows are one of the important health equipment for getting a good night's sleep. The posture at bedtime varies depending on the person, but there are many people who sleep in the sideways direction. Even when sleeping on the side, the person may sleep on his / her back temporarily, and the person who usually sleeps on his / her back may also sleep on the side. For this reason, the pillow is usually formed in a horizontally-long rectangular shape so that it can be used on its back and sideways. When sleeping on the back, only the back of the head is supported by the pillow, so that the cervical spine portion is burdened and fatigued easily. For this reason, pillows that are soft and elastic and in which pressure is distributed are preferred. When sleeping sideways, the ears may be pressed against the pillow by the weight of the head, and numbness may remain in the ears when waking up. In order to remove such a feeling of pressure on the ear, there is known a pillow provided with a recess in a portion where the ear hits (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

The thing of patent document 1 provides the hollow part (intermediate pillow) which continued in the center part vertical direction with respect to the rectangular pillow, and supports the back of the head when sleeping on the back by this hollow part, To improve the fit. The raised portions provided on both sides of the hollow portion support the temporal region when sleeping in the horizontal direction, and a vertically long hollow is provided in the central portion to escape the ear. The one described in Patent Document 2 is provided with an elongated groove partly in the longitudinal direction of the central part of a rectangular pillow, and the back of the head when laying on its back is escaped by the narrow groove part and the ear when sleeping sideways The narrow groove part escapes the pressure on the head.

  However, the device described in Patent Document 1 is configured such that the occipital region is placed in a recess provided in the central portion in the vertical direction, and when the occipital region is placed in this recess, the occipital region is compressed by the raised portions on both sides thereof. There is a problem that lacks comfort. In addition, when lying on its back from lying on its side, the auricle part does not naturally fit in the depression of the raised part, and the auricle part is susceptible to pressure. Furthermore, there is a problem that the head shape cannot be adapted to the shape of the user's head even though each person has a different shape. In addition, there is a problem that it is inconvenient to carry and costly. The same applies to the one described in Patent Document 2.

  In order to solve such a conventional problem, the present invention can stably support the occipital region when lying on its back and stably escape the auricle portion when lying on its side. Further, it is an object to provide a pillow that can be adapted to the shape of the user's head, can be easily carried with a simple configuration, and can reduce costs.

  The pillow of the present invention is accommodated in the first accommodation bag portion that supports the occipital region when lying on the back, the second accommodation bag portion that supports the cervical vertebra portion when lying on the back, and the first and second accommodation bag portions, respectively. A bag body, the height of which can be adjusted by gas filling, and a connecting portion provided at a predetermined location of each of the first and second storage bag portions. The bag body is received and connected by the connecting portion. The first and second storage bag portions are formed with a hollow portion therebetween, and the hollow portion escapes the auricle portion when it is turned sideways.

  With the above configuration, the pillow according to the present invention has the second storage bag in which the back of the head is supported by the first storage bag portion that stores the bag body and the cervical vertebra portion stores the bag body when the head lies on its back. Since it is supported by the part, the back of the head can be stably supported. In addition, when the head of the present invention lies on its side, the auricle part escapes to the hollow part formed by connecting the first and second storage bag parts, and is reversed from the supine state to the left or right side. Even then, the auricle portion can be stably housed naturally in the recessed portion. Furthermore, the pillow according to the present invention is provided with a bag body whose height can be adjusted by gas filling inside each of the first and second storage bag portions, so that it can be adjusted to suit the height of the user's head. it can. In addition, the pillow of the present invention is easy to carry because the first and second storage bag portions and the bag body can be stored compactly by venting the gas from the bag body when the pillow is not used. Can be suppressed.

  The pillow according to the present invention is also characterized in that the first and second accommodation bag portions are stitched with a synthetic resin material formed in a mesh shape. Thereby, the pillow of this invention is hard to expand-contract in the longitudinal direction of a 1st and 2nd accommodation bag part, and a transversal direction, and has ensured the original shape and function of a pillow. In addition, it has excellent air permeability, is light and difficult to break, and is easy to carry. Further, since it has a simple configuration, cost can be reduced.

  The present invention is also characterized in that the connecting portion includes a width adjusting portion for adjusting a width between the first and second containing bag portions. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the hollow part formed between the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts can be changed, and it can adjust so that it may fit in a user's head shape and an auricle part, and compression of an auricle part is carried out. Can provide no comfortable pillows.

  The present invention is also characterized in that the second raised portion supporting the cervical vertebra is narrower and lower in height than the first raised portion supporting the occipital region. Thereby, while being able to support a back head stably, the burden concerning a cervical vertebra part is reduced, and more comfortable sleep is obtained.

  The present invention is also characterized in that the first and second accommodation bag portions accommodate a cushion material. Accordingly, the height of the cushion material can be adjusted using the bag body in a state in which the material, hardness, amount, etc. of the cushion material are selected and adjusted to the user's preference so as to match the shape of the user's head.

  Hereinafter, a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig.1 (a) is a perspective view which shows the time of use of the pillow in this invention, FIG.1 (b) is a figure which shows the cross section. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the pillow according to the present invention as seen from the back side. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the pillow in the present invention when not in use. The pillow 10 of the present invention is used by storing bag bodies 13 and 14 in first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12, respectively, and connected by connecting portions 15 and 16. At this time, it is preferable that the pillow 10 is used with the second storage bag portion 12 supporting the cervical spine portion having a smaller width and a lower height than the first storage bag portion 11 supporting the occipital region. Thereby, while being able to support a back head stably, the burden concerning a cervical vertebra part is reduced and more comfortable sleep is obtained. In addition, when the head 10 lies on its side, the pillow 10 escapes the auricle part to the hollow part 17 formed by connecting the first and second storage bag parts 11, 12, so that either the left side or the right side from the supine state Even if it is inverted, the auricle portion can be naturally stored in the recessed portion stably. Thereby, also when turning over, since the hollow part 17 and the 1st accommodating bag parts 11 and 12 are continuing, a head can be reversed easily. Moreover, when it becomes sideways, since the auricle part naturally fits in the depression part 17 and the auricle part stably fits in the depression part 17 even if it is inverted from the supine state to the left or right side, The interventional part is not pressed by the pillow.

  Next, each configuration will be described. The first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 are storage bags having a horizontally long (rectangular shape in this case) flat shape and stitched side end portions. The lengths of the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 in the longitudinal direction are the same or substantially the same length, and the length in the short direction is the second storage bag portion 12 as compared to the first storage bag portion 11. Is narrower. Moreover, the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 are given by mesh shape, and a chuck | zipper, a hook_and_loop | surface fastener, etc. are provided. Furthermore, since the original shape and function of the pillow may be lost when the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 expand and contract, a material that does not easily expand and contract in the longitudinal and lateral directions is used. The 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 comprised in this way have excellent air permeability, and the inside thing is easy to put in and take out, and also, since it is light and hard to break, it is easy to carry. In addition, although the synthetic resin materials, such as a polypropylene, are used for the material of the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 of this Embodiment, a design change can also be easily carried out suitably also with another material. In addition, the position where the chuck, the hook-and-loop fastener, and the like are provided can be easily changed as appropriate. For example, the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 of the present embodiment are provided with a chuck that is continuous from end to end at the center in the short direction of the lower surface. You may provide a chuck | zipper, a hook_and_loop | surface fastener, etc. in the side end (fold part) of the longitudinal direction of the parts 11 and 12. FIG. If a chuck or the like is provided on the lower surface, it may be uncomfortable due to the influence of the structure or cause damage to the bags 13, 14 and the like. Can be eliminated, and the production efficiency can be improved. In addition, although it can also provide in the side end of the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 in the transversal direction, it is hard to take in and out the bag bodies 13 and 14 compared with the case where it provides in the side end of a longitudinal direction. Therefore, it is preferably provided at the side end in the longitudinal direction.

  The bag bodies 13 and 14 are air bags having an air stopper and a valve as shown in FIG. 3 and inflated by gas filling. Thereby, the user of the pillow 10 can fill the bags 13 and 14 with gas using his / her own breath, an air infusing device, etc., and adjust it to fit the height of his / her head. It is preferable to provide an air plug or the like at a position where the user can easily fill the gas. For example, the air plugs of the bag bodies 13, 14 are provided so that the air plugs of the bag bodies 13, 14 appear from the entrance / exit of the chucks and hook-and-loop fasteners of the first and second storage bag portions 11, 12 or other air plug outlets, Gas filling can be performed quickly and easily. Further, the bag bodies 13 and 14 have a horizontally long (rectangular shape in this case) flat shape, the lengths in the longitudinal direction are the same or substantially the same length, and the length in the short direction is the bag body as compared with the bag body 13. 14 is made narrower. Moreover, in order to accommodate in the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12, it is slightly shorter than the length of the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 and the transversal direction. Furthermore, it is preferable that the height obtained by filling the gas is such that the bag body 14 is lower than the bag body 13. Accordingly, as described above, the height of the second storage bag portion 12 that stores the bag body 14 is lower than the first storage bag portion 11 that stores the bag body 13, and the back of the head is stably I can support it. Furthermore, the bag bodies 13 and 14 may be ones that swell evenly over the entire surface, but may also be those that have other surfaces swell while maintaining the shape of some of the surfaces. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, by using a bowl shape in which the other surface swells while maintaining the flat shape of the bottom surface, the back of the head is stably supported with most of the bottom surface grounded. In addition, the original shape and function of the pillow can be secured. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the pillow 10 is not used, the first and second storage bag portions 11, 12 and the bag bodies 13, 14 are flattened by removing the gas from the bag bodies 13, 14. It can be stored compactly by folding or rolling into a roll, and is easy to carry. In addition, although the synthetic resin materials, such as a polyvinyl chloride, are used for the raw material of the bag bodies 13 and 14 of this Embodiment, a design change can also be easily carried out suitably also with another raw material. In addition, the total capacity of the bag bodies 13 and 14 according to the present embodiment is about 1.3 to 2 times that of the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12. That is, the bag bodies 13 and 14 accommodated in the first and second accommodation bag portions 11 and 12 are not completely inflated therein, have a soft touch, and have the original shape and function of the pillow.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting portions 15 and 16 of the present embodiment are provided with two hook-and-loop fasteners at both ends in the short direction of the lower surfaces of the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12, respectively. They are interconnected. At this time, the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 form the hollow part 17 between them. Moreover, the connection parts 15 and 16 may be provided with the width adjustment part 18 which adjusts the width | variety between the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12. FIG. The width adjusting portion 18 of the present embodiment is provided in one connecting portion 16 and adjusts the length of the connecting portion 15 by folding the other connecting portion 15 through the insertion portion of the width adjusting portion 18. The width between the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 can be adjusted. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the hollow part 17 formed between the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 can be changed, and it can adjust so that it may adapt to a user's head shape, and an auricle part is a pillow. It can be used comfortably without being pressed. Furthermore, since the original shape and function of the pillow may be lost when the connecting portions 15 and 16 expand and contract, the original shape and function of the pillow are secured by using a material that does not easily expand and contract in the longitudinal and short directions. . Further, in the present embodiment, the connecting portions 15 and 16 are made of nylon or the like, and the width adjusting portion 18 is made of a synthetic resin material such as plastic. However, other materials can be easily and appropriately changed in design. In addition, if the connection parts 15 and 16 connect the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12 mutually and the hollow part 17 which escapes the auricle part at the time of sideways is obtained between them, the place The design can be easily changed as appropriate. Also, the width adjustment portion 18 can be easily changed in design as long as the width between the first and second storage bag portions 11 and 12 can be adjusted. Furthermore, the connection parts 15 and 16 are good also as an aspect which can be attached or detached other than the aspect sewn with respect to the 1st and 2nd accommodation bag parts 11 and 12.
