Description

  The present invention relates to a simple pillow measuring instrument for measuring the height of the back of the head and neck in order to produce or select an appropriate pillow for the user's head and / or neck.

  Bedclothes such as pillows are used at bedtime, and the sleeping posture at bedtime varies from person to person and is not determined uniformly. It makes a big difference. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to obtain a pillow that suits the user, the position and shape of the back, shoulder, neck, head, etc. are measured while lying on the bedding and lying down. It is extremely difficult to perform future measurements in a sleeping posture, and measurements are usually performed in a standing posture (Patent Document 1).

For example, a plurality of guide pins are supported in parallel with the guide member so as to protrude on both sides of the guide member, and the measurement subject standing on a moving table on the front surface of the guide member is measured together with the carriage. By approaching the pins, pressing the back of the subject's head, neck, shoulders, etc. against the pins and moving the pins, the shape of the human body is transferred to the group of pins, and the amount of movement of each pin is measured. You can know the body shape.
However, this apparatus has a complicated mechanism, and it is difficult to prepare for all of the bedding product sales floors, and it is difficult to widely arrange them in each sales floor.

  In view of the above points, the present invention makes it extremely difficult to select and purchase pillows by setting the distance between the bedclothes and the head and the bedclothes and the back of the head of each individual person who has a fine difference. It aims at making it possible to measure by a simple means, and also making it possible to distribute this measuring instrument to each bedding department.

The simple measuring instrument for pillow according to the present invention has a level, and allows the user to project at least two parallel and slidable projections on a slider mounting support that can be held vertically. The slider is provided with a measurement mark that enables the amount of protrusion from the support to be confirmed.
And, as a level, the other end of the thread body with a weight suspended at one end is fixed to a point on the slider mounting support member, and a perpendicular line passing through the fixing point is defined on the slider mounting support member Alternatively, bubbles are floated on the liquid inside the bent tube.

  The simple measuring instrument for pillow according to the present invention is a slider mounting support that can be held in a vertical state by providing a level, and is slidably provided so that the slider can protrude and retract in the horizontal direction. With the slider mounting support placed vertically against the subject's back, one slider on the back of the head and the other slider on the neck You can easily know the height. In other words, it is possible to know the desired occipital and cervical heights simply by placing the slider mounting support in one hand on the body, without the need for complicated devices such as conventional devices. Easy to distribute.

  Next, the best mode of the simple measuring instrument for pillow according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a state in which a simple measuring instrument 1 for pillow according to the present invention is partially cut away. FIG. 2 is a right side view of the same. FIG. 3 is a front view of another embodiment of the level.

  The simple measuring instrument for pillow 1 includes a support body 2 for attaching a slider, a slider 3, and a level 4. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slider mounting support 2 has a handle portion 5 at the lower portion, and a slider support portion 6 is continuously provided at the upper portion. The handle portion 5 and the slider support portion 6 are formed into a paperboard with a predetermined thickness by interposing spacers 9a, 9b, 9c between side members 7, 8 formed integrally and continuously. The number of spacers 9 varies depending on the number of slider insertion openings 10 provided in the portion 6. In the illustrated example, since the slider insertion slot 10 is provided at two locations, the spacer 9 has three pieces 9a, 9b, and 9c and is pasted while avoiding the part where the slider 3 is inserted, and the part without the spacer 9 is the slider insertion slot. 10 is assumed. The inserted slider 3 has an elongated strip shape and is provided with a pointed head 11 at one end, and is capable of displaying the height of the head or neck so as to display a rough value such as height or middle, or a scale. Are shown as measurement marks 12.

  The strip-shaped slider 3 is inserted into the slider insertion slot 10 of the slider support 6 as shown in FIG. The number of slider insertion openings 10 is appropriately changed depending on the number of sliders 3, but is provided at two locations in the illustrated example. That is, one slider 3b positioned at the upper side contacts the head 18 of the person to be measured after measurement, knows the distance between the bedding and the back of the head 18, and the other slider 3a positioned at the lower level contacts the neck 19 and the neck. The distance between 19 and the bedding is known. In addition, it is also possible to prepare a slider mounting support 2 in which the number of the sliders 3 is changed in a plurality of parts of the measurement subject as required.

  A level 4 is attached to the side surface of the slider mounting support 2 in order to confirm that the support 2 is always vertically positioned during use. A level 4 shown in FIG. 1 has a weight 14 at one end, and includes a thread body 13 suspended from a fixing point 15 of the slider mounting support 2 on the side surface of the support 2 and a perpendicular line 16 described later. A perpendicular line 16 passing through the thread fixing point 15 is drawn on the side surface of the support 2. The perpendicular line 16 is used to know whether or not the support body 2 is accurate when the support body 2 is set up vertically, and the forward and backward movement of the slider 3 is also perpendicular to the perpendicular line 16.

  As another example of the level 4, in the example shown in FIG. 3, when the liquid 22 having the bubbles 21 is put into the bent transparent bent tube 20 and the position of the bubbles 21 is at a predetermined position of the transparent bent tube 20. The level 4 is kept horizontal and vertical, and is provided at an appropriate position of the slider mounting support 2.

When using the device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the handle 5 of the simple measuring instrument 1 for a pillow is applied to the position of the spine of a standing person 17 (pillow user). At this time, the handle 5 is accurately adjusted so that the thread 13 of the level 4 coincides with the vertical line 16 on the side surface of the slider mounting support 2 so that the handle 5 of the measuring device 1 becomes vertical by the level 4. To be located. By this operation, the slider 3 is kept horizontal, the slider 3 is pushed leftward as shown in FIG. 1, and the pointed head 11 is brought into contact with the head 18 and neck 19 of the subject 17 standing up. The distance between the measuring instrument 1 and the head 18 or neck 19 and the front edge 24 of the support 2 can be known from the measurement mark.
The measurement mark may be either high, medium, low outline or an accurate description such as a scale scale.

  The distance measured between the bedclothes and the head or neck can be determined from the values measured as described above, so it is only necessary to select a pillow with a thickness (height) that can fill the gap. become.
