Description

  The present invention relates to a sleep aid that can maintain the ambient temperature of the head and face at bedtime.

  It is said that the state of head cold foot heat is good for health at bedtime. Therefore, the face and head are often exposed without a futon. However, depending on the season, the nighttime temperature is low and the air also dries, so if you go to bed with your face and head exposed, your head may become too cold or your skin may dry out. .

  If your head or face is too cold, you may fall asleep, remain tired even when you get up, poor blood circulation from the face to the neck or shoulders, stiffness due to poor blood circulation on the facial skin, or dry skin Adverse effects such as being easy to progress aging were likely to occur.

  In order to prevent such adverse effects as described above, a hood-like cover that covers the periphery of the head when sleeping is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 3117599

  In the conventional hood-like cover, a part of the face is exposed. Also, especially around the neck and shoulders are not covered. Therefore, it is impossible to prevent a decrease in body temperature of the face, neck and shoulders. Moreover, since the space between the face and the cover is narrow, there is a possibility that a feeling of pressure may be felt, which is not suitable for obtaining better sleep.

  An object of this invention is to provide the sleep aid which can maintain the temperature environment etc. of the head and the circumference of a face at the time of sleeping using the heat | fever dissipated naturally.

  The present invention relates to a sleep aid, a first member having a locking portion at an end in a longitudinal direction, a second member locking both ends to the locking portion so as to form a bent shape, A third member that covers a framework formed by the first member and the second member, and the framework is formed by including a plurality of the second members, and at least one of the second members. Both ends of the member are fixed to the locking portion, and the other second member is held at both ends so as to rotate in an arc shape centered on the locking portion. The rotation angle of the second member held at the position farthest from the second member to which is fixed is greater than 90 degrees.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to maintain the temperature environment around the head and face at the time of sleeping by using heat that is naturally dissipated.

It is a perspective view which shows the example of the external appearance of the sleep assistance tool which concerns on this invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the example of the use condition of the said sleep aid. It is a side view which shows the example of the folding state when the said sleep assistance tool is not used. It is a perspective view which shows the example of the positional relationship of the said sleep aid and a pillow.

● Structure of the sleep assisting device Hereinafter, an embodiment of the sleep assisting device according to the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a face cover 100 that is an example of a sleep aid includes a base 10 that is a first member, an arch member 20 that is a second member, a cover member 30 that is a third member, And a connecting member 40 that is four members.

  The base 10 is a member that constitutes the foundation of the face cover 100 and includes a surface that comes into contact with the installation surface during use and a surface that holds an arch member 20 described later. As shown in FIG. 1, the base 10 is a long thin plate, and includes a fixed block 11 serving as a locking portion at an end in the length direction. The arch member 20 is attached to the base 10 by the fixed block 11. The face cover 100 is a dome-shaped cover that covers the head and face and its surroundings while lying on the bed.

  When the face cover 100 is used, the pillow 50 is placed on the base 10 as shown in FIG. As a result, the base 10 is pressed from above and the face cover 100 is fixed.

  The base 10 in FIG. 1 is a thin plate-like member having a narrow width, but the outer shape of the base 10 is not limited to this. For example, the thin plate which has the external shape along the semicircle shape which the arch member 20 fixed to the base 10 draws may be sufficient. The material of the base 10 is desirably strong enough to fix the arch member 20 and has a weight that can be easily installed, and is made of, for example, a hard resin material.

  The fixed block 11 is a member for locking the arch member 20 to the base 10 in a semicircular bow shape. For example, holes are formed at both ends of the arch member 20, a fastening member is inserted into the hole 12 formed on the outside of the fixed block 11, and the hole of the arch member 20 is hooked on the fastening member, whereby the arch member 20 is attached to the base 10. The fastening member inserted into the hole 12 may be a resin screw or a resin pin. The fixed block 11 may be formed using the same material as the base 10 or may be formed using a material (for example, metal) having higher strength. In addition, the fixed block 11 may be attached as a separate body to the longitudinal end of the base 10 or may be formed by bending the end of the base 10.

  A plurality of arch members 20 are locked to the fixed block 11, and one of the arch members 20 does not move in contact with the installation surface when the face cover 100 is installed. Therefore, the fixed arch member 20 is bonded to the side surface of the fixed block 11 after the holes at both ends are hooked on the fastening members. The arch members 20 other than the fixed arch member 20 can be rotated around the fastening member of the fixed block 11.

  That is, the arch member 20 other than the fixed member can be rotated so as to rise upward from the base 10 while drawing an arc from a state parallel to the installation surface with the fixed block 11 as the center. It stops at a predetermined position.

  In FIG. 1, the face cover 100 has a dome-like framework in which a base 10 and four arch members 20 are combined. The arch member 20 is made of a vinyl material or a plastic material.

  The adjacent arch members 20 are configured to stop while maintaining a discrete state. Adjacent arch members 20 are connected by connecting members 40 at the midpoints of the circumferential lengths of the respective arch shapes. When one of the arch members 20 is rotated as shown above, the arch members 20 other than the arch member 20 whose both ends are fixed are pulled together by the connecting member 40 to interlock with each other. To do. Thus, the face cover 100 forms a dome-shaped framework as shown in FIG. The connecting member 40 is a string-like member that does not get in the way when folded, which will be described later, and may have any strength that can pull the adjacent arch member 20.

  The face cover 100 is covered with a cover member 30 on the outside of a dome-shaped framework. An inner space S is formed by the base 10, the arch member 20, and the cover member 30. The internal space S is in a state of being blocked from the outside air. The cover member 30 is a material that closes the gap between the adjacent arch members 20 and has a certain degree of air permeability. For example, the cover member 30 is a cloth member such as a blanket or a face towel.

-How to use sleep holder Next, the usage method of the face cover 100 is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a usage state of the face cover 100. The head and face of the user P are accommodated in the internal space S formed by the base 10, the arch member 20 and the cover member 30. The internal space S has a sufficient height and depth so that the user P is not breathing.

  Of the arch members 20, the angle formed by the fixed arch member 201 in contact with the installation surface and the movable arch member 202 farthest from the arch member 20 is greater than 90 degrees. In other words, the rotation angle of the movable arch member 202 is larger than 90 degrees.

  That is, among the normals of the installation surface of the base 10, the normal passing through the midpoint of the arc length of the movable arch member 202 is on the body side of the user P's neck. Thus, when the face cover 100 is viewed from the side, since the movable arch member 202 has an overhang structure, the end portion of the cover member 30 is prevented from being caught on the face of the user P, and sufficient. A wide internal space S can be formed. Further, by reducing the amount that the internal space S communicates with the outside air, the temperature and humidity can be maintained in an appropriate state.

  When the pillow 50 used by the user P is installed on the base 10 and the user P takes a sleeping posture, the head and face of the user P are in the internal space S formed by the face cover 100. The end of the cover member 30 is placed around the shoulder of the user P. Since heat released from the head and face of the user P at bedtime stays in the internal space S, the air temperature around the head and face of the user P is maintained.

  Moreover, since the water vapor contained in the exhalation of the user P is prevented from escaping to the outside air, the humidity of the internal space S can be maintained.

  In addition, since the end of the cover member 30 covers the neck and shoulder of the user P, it is possible to prevent the neck and shoulder from cooling even in winter. In addition, even if the posture changes due to turning over, the shoulders and neck are not exposed to low temperature outside air, so that comfortable sleep can be continued.

  Moreover, the use of the air conditioner for maintaining the temperature of the bedroom at bedtime can be reduced by the moisturizing effect of the face cover 100. Thereby, the effect of reducing power consumption can also be obtained.

  Further, when sleeping by the face cover 100, the air around the user P's head and the face and the outside air are blocked to some extent. This can prevent the invasion of viruses and can be expected to maintain health.

  Further, even when an earthquake occurs at bedtime and surrounding objects fall toward the head, the face cover 100 protects the bed and can improve safety at bedtime.

  Further, the exposed portion of the skin at bedtime can be covered by the face cover 100. Therefore, an insect repellent effect is also obtained.

● Folding structure of sleeping holder Next, the state of the face cover 100 when not in use will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the face cover 100 can be folded by removing the cover member 30 and narrowing the gap between the adjacent arch members 20. The face cover 100 in a folded state has a thickness corresponding to the width of several arch members 20 when viewed from the side as shown in FIG. Therefore, it can be folded when not in use, such as during the daytime, and can be stood against the gaps in the furniture. In use, if the arch member 20 is expanded and the cover member 30 is hung, it can be used immediately, which is convenient.

  If the length of the fixed arch member 201 and the other arch members 20 are different from each other and the folded arch members 20 do not overlap each other, the thickness of the face cover 100 during folding is reduced to one. The thickness can correspond to the width of the arch member 20.

  For example, the length (arc length) of the fixed arch member 201 is made the shortest, the arc length of the arch member 20 adjacent to this is increased next, and the arc length of the arch member 20 adjacent thereto is further increased. To do. The arc length of the movable arch member 202 is made the longest. Thus, by combining the arc lengths of adjacent arch members 20 with different lengths, the thickness of the face cover 100 when folded can be reduced.

  According to the face cover 100 described above, it can be folded to a small size when not in use, and can be made into a dome shape only when in use. Moreover, the deformation from the folded state to the dome shape is easy, and vice versa.

  In order to prevent the arch member 20 from returning to the folding position due to the influence of gravity after the arch member 20 is opened and formed into a dome shape, a tension bar 203 as shown in FIG. It may be interposed between the arch members 202.

  The centering rod 203 is a member that supports the movable arch member 202 so that the movable arch member 202 does not fall toward the fixed arch member 201, and may be attached after the movable arch member 202 is opened in a dome shape. Further, the centering rod 203 is attached to the fixed arch member 201 and the movable arch member 202 in advance, moves in accordance with the rotation of the arch member 20, and is fixed when the movable arch member 202 reaches the position in use. But you can.

  The centering rod 203 has one end fixed to the fixed arch member 201 and the other end fixed to the movable arch member 202. Further, the centering rod 203 may be in contact with each arch member 20 between the fixed arch member 201 and the movable arch member 202 or may be locked to each arch member 20.

  Further, the cover member 30 may be attached between the arch members 20 to form a bellows shape.
