Description

  The present invention relates to bedding, and more particularly to a new type of pillow.

  Despite the importance of improving the quality of life now, people are not aware of the harm that poorly designed pillows can have on people. Within one day, people rely on pillows for at least 5-8 hours, the cervical spine bends and deforms for 5-8 hours, and muscles are pulled abnormally over time, so they pile up and deform become. As the shape of the cervical spine changes, muscles and ligaments are pulled and the cervical disc is compressed. Thus, the muscles and ligaments are damaged, fused, calcified, cervical discs protrude and neurovascular pressures occur. A suitable pillow can increase people's sleep mass, can better support people's head and neck, and can provide rest for the neck portion that is tired over time.

  Therefore, various types of pillows have been studied by people. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pillow that can be adjusted by increasing the height of the pillow through filling with gas. However, since the gas is flowing, when the sleeper's cervical spine comes into contact with the part having the air sac, the gas around the cervical spine compresses the cervical spine nerve, causing discomfort to the sleeper.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a pillow. The upper surface is formed in an inclined shape in which the thickness of the front surface is smaller than the thickness of the rear surface. An arc-shaped side that is placed in contact with the shoulder on the back of the pillow adapts to the physiological arc of the human spine. However, because the shape, length, shoulder width, etc. of the human head are different, this pillow cannot be adjusted accordingly and its function needs to be improved.

Chinese Patent No. 02236219.3 Chinese Patent No. 02219273.5

  Conventional pillows are generally made of bags and fillings or soft materials. Although the medicine pillow can be manufactured through sealing the drug inside the bag as a filling, the function is single and the drug itself is also subjected to pressure from the head and neck, so time If it is long, the drug will be crushed.

  The present invention provides a pillow that can solve or ameliorate at least one disadvantage of the prior art. For example, when sleeping, a pillow is provided that can better support the user's head and neck and, to some extent, obtain good looseness in the cervical spine.

  To achieve the object, a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first portion and a second portion, and the first portion includes a head support portion and a neck support portion, A second part is located below or within the first part and provides support to the first part, so that the hardness of the material of the second part is greater than the first part.

  Thereby, the first part is supported by the second part, and it is good for the user's head and neck and can provide support that adapts to the physiological curve of the human body. Since the second part is made of a material that is flexible and strong and harmless to the human body, it is difficult to deform, has excellent strength and hardness, and can support the head and neck for a long time. The first part is made of a soft material that is harmless to the human body, so that the head and neck of the user who comes into direct contact with the first part are comfortable and support that adapts to the physiological curve of the human body is obtained. Can be. In addition, since the drug can be accommodated in the second part, a pillow having the function of a certain drug can be produced conveniently, and the drug can be prevented from being crushed after being used for a long time.

  In one embodiment, the horizontal height of the neck support portion is higher than the head support portion and extends from both sides of the head support portion to form a first horizontal support portion, and both sides of the neck support portion are formed. And a second horizontal support portion is formed, and the height of the first horizontal support portion and the second horizontal support portion is higher than the support portion of the neck. Accordingly, when the user lies on the support portion of the neck portion or lies on the first horizontal support portion and the second horizontal support portion, the head portion and the neck portion can be favorably supported.

  Inventors have studied for a long time, different people's sleeping postures are different, and when one person lies on the side, he likes to bend his body and squeeze his neck, and when one person lies on his side, bow his head I discovered that I like to sleep. Designing different pillows for different people is one option, but increases mold and manufacturing costs. Adapting to users with different sleep habits and bodies on the same pillow is an unresearched issue now.

  Therefore, the present inventor provides the following configuration. The neck support portion includes a first neck support portion and a second neck support portion, the first neck support portion has a first inclined protrusion, and the second neck support portion is a head portion. The support portion is provided on a side surface opposite to the support portion of the first neck portion, has a second inclined protrusion portion, and the inclination of the first inclined protrusion portion is different from the inclination of the second inclined protrusion portion.

  The excellent point of the above configuration is that the support portion of the first neck portion or the support portion of the second neck portion including the inclined protrusion portion can support the neck portion better. And, since it adopts an inclination design with different inclinations, it is applied to people with cervical vertebrae of different lengths.

  One side surface of the second horizontal support portion extends inward, and the other side surface extends outward. When the support portion of the first neck and the support portion of the second neck extend, and the second horizontal support portion and the third horizontal support portion higher than the second horizontal support portion are formed, the second horizontal support portion and the third horizontal support portion Of the horizontal support portions, one extends to the bottom diagonally below the inner side, and the other extends to the bottom diagonally below the outer side.

  With this configuration, when lying on the side, a person who likes to sleep with his / her neck shrunk can rely on the side that extends diagonally below the inner side, and the second horizontal support part or Because it can fit snugly with the three horizontal support portions, it can provide a snug support to the head and neck. When lying on the side, a person who likes to sleep with his neck open can rely on the laterally extending side and can fit snugly with the second or third horizontal support part with the neck and shoulders extending outward Therefore, it can be supported to fit the head and neck under many sleeping postures.

  In addition, the pillow of the present invention further includes a third portion, the third portion includes a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface of the third portion is installed on the support portion of the head. Sometimes the second surface is located on the same horizontal line as the second horizontal support portion and the third horizontal support portion.

  By adopting the pillow configured as described above, when the user takes a rest every day, the user can remove the third part and rely on the support part of the head to sleep for half an hour. As a result, the curvature of the spine can be restored. When sleeping, place the third part on the support part of the head. At this time, the second surface is positioned on the same horizontal line as the first horizontal support portion. As a result, when sleeping, the head is unconsciously positioned where the flat surface and the concave tank come into contact with each other, so that the cervical spine can be prevented from being distorted, and the cervical spine is protected. Therefore, even if the sleeper sleeps sideways or sleeps on his back, the head and neck can be appropriately supported. The first surface of the third part is formed in a shape that matches the shape of the human lumbar vertebra, so when the person is lying down, the first surface of the third part is placed below the waist and to some extent, The curvature can be supported. This is advantageous for those who sleep on a soft head.

  According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second part includes a cavity and a through hole formed in the housing surrounding the cavity so that the pillow is more elastic and improves the breathability of the head when sleeping Is advantageous. Accordingly, the first portion can be selected from a material having excellent air permeability, or can be formed with many through holes in the main body.

  In another embodiment, the second portion can further include a bottom plate, such that the bottom plate and the housing are coupled to seal the interior of the housing. As a result, the cavity can be easily formed, and the cost can be reduced.

  According to another embodiment, an altitude adjustment device for adjusting the height of the pillow can be included. The altitude adjusting device includes a first part installed on a main body part or a bottom plate of the second part, and a second part removable from the first part. The first part is connected to the second part with a screw, and the height of the pillow can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the screw. Of course, other suitable connection methods can be employed. This approach allows the pillow height to be quickly adjusted, adapting to the user's body characteristics (such as different shoulder widths) and different usage environments, keeping the spine at the same horizon. If the first part is attached to the housing of the second part, removing the bottom plate does not affect the function of adjusting the height. Therefore, the user can achieve a comfortable sleeping effect by adjusting an appropriate height according to his / her own characteristics.

  The pillow of the present invention is in a state in which the user's spine is fully relaxed, rested, and repaired by adjusting the angle, arc degree, and height to fit the body closely by specialized medical research and testing. Can be made. Therefore, when sleeping every day, it is possible to repair the loss of curvature of the spine, which is naturally caused by the fatigue of day work, curving to the side and rotating, loosening the skeleton and muscles, letting them to be in a natural state, Restore to bend normally.

  Hereinafter, a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The following examples are given to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Various corrections and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and spirit of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 1, the first part 1 of the pillow includes a head support part 10 and a first neck support part 11. The support portion 11 of the first neck is projected, and the support portion 10 of the head is lowered. The horizontal height of the support portion 11 of the first neck is higher than the support portion 10 of the head, and the proportion of the support portion 11 of the first neck is less than that of the support portion 10 of the head. The height and arc of the first neck support portion 11 can be designed by the curvature of the cervical spine when the human body lies down. For example, the height of the highest point of the support portion 11 of the first neck can be set 5 to 8 cm from the bottom. The support part 11 of the first neck part can also be formed in an inclined shape extending to the outside of the pillow from the direction in which the neck part of the sleeper of the pillow is relied upon. As a result, the sleeper's neck can receive a uniform support force.

  In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the first portion 1 of the pillow includes a second neck support portion 11 ′ located on the side opposite the first neck support portion 11. The second neck support portion 11 ′ is higher than the first neck support portion 11. The first neck support portion 11 and the second neck support portion 11 ′ collectively refer to the neck support portion. The first neck support portion 11 includes a first inclined protrusion 111. The second neck support portion 11 'includes a second inclined protrusion 111'. The inclination of the first inclined protrusion 111 is smaller than the inclination of the second inclined protrusion 111 '. This can be applied to people with a large range of different cervical spine lengths.

  1 and 2, a first horizontal support portion 12 is formed extending left and right from both sides of the support portion 10 of the pillow head. A second horizontal support portion 13 is formed extending from both sides of the support portion 11 of the first neck to the left and right, respectively. The first horizontal support portion 12 is higher than the head support portion 10. The second horizontal support portion 13 is higher than the first horizontal support portion 12. A third horizontal support portion 13 'is formed extending left and right from both sides of the second neck support portion 11'. The third horizontal support portion 13 ′ is higher than the second neck support portion 11 ′ and higher than the second horizontal support portion 13.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of through holes 14 are formed in the first portion 1 in order to maintain the breathability of the pillow. The diameter of the through hole 14 is 1 mm to 5 mm. Moreover, the 1st part 1 can also be manufactured with the material which is excellent in air permeability. Therefore, the through hole 14 can be omitted or the quantity can be reduced.

  Using the shape of the pillow, when the sleeper sleeps on the back, the head and neck naturally fit the head support portion 10 and the first neck support portion 11 snugly. When lying on its side, the first horizontal support portion 12 can support the head well, and the second horizontal support portion 13 or the third horizontal support portion 13 ′ can support the neck well, The spine can be maintained on a horizon that is essentially the same.

  Moreover, the shape of the pillow can restore the curvature of the spine to some extent if the user rests every day for half an hour depending on the support portion 10 of the head when resting every day.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the second horizontal support portion 13 extends obliquely inward to the bottom and the third horizontal support portion 13 'extends outward to the bottom. Alternatively, the second horizontal support portion 13 can extend outward to the bottom, and the third horizontal support portion 13 ′ can extend obliquely downward to the bottom on the inside.

  With this arrangement, a person who likes to sleep with his neck narrowed can rely on the second horizontal support portion 13 extending inwardly, and the neck and shoulder can be fitted snugly with the second horizontal support portion 13 extending inwardly. Because it can, it can be supported so as to fit the head and neck. When sleeping on the side, a person who likes to sleep with his / her neck open can rely on the third horizontal support portion 13 ′ extending outwardly, and the neck and shoulders fit snugly with the third horizontal support portion 13 ′ extending outward. Can be supported so as to fit the head and neck.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pillow can also include a third portion 3. 3 and 4 show the third part 3 of the pillow. The third portion 3 has a sheet shape and includes a first surface 31 and a second surface 32. The first surface 31 of the third portion 3 protrudes, and the shape of the protruding surface is adapted to the head support portion 10 so that the third portion 3 is installed on the head support portion 10. The third portion 3 can employ the same material as the material of the first portion 1, and a through hole 34 similar to the through hole 14 of the first portion 1 can be formed.

  Referring to FIG. 5, when the four sides of the third portion 3 are slightly bent so that the first surface 31 is placed on the support portion 10 of the head, each portion of the second surface 32 of the third portion 3. Are positioned on the same horizontal line as the first horizontal support part 12, the second horizontal support part 13 and the third horizontal support part 13 ', respectively, and the upper surface of the pillow is basically in a flat state, It is possible to prevent the cervical spine from being distorted by being located on the uneven portion.

  When lying down, due to the curvature of the cervical spine, the lumbar region is in an unsupported suspension state protruding from the buttocks and chest back. Thus, when designing, it is considered that the pillow of the present embodiment protects the cervical vertebra as well as the lumbar vertebra. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the protruding surface of the first surface 31 of the third portion 3 has a shape adapted to the shape of the human lumbar vertebra. When a person is lying down, the first surface 31 of the third part 3 is placed upward and below the waist. Thereby, the curvature of the lumbar spine can be supported to some extent.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the third part 3 and the first part 1 are separated and the third part 3 can be placed on or removed from the first part 1 depending on the actual application.

  Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second part 2 of the pillow approximates the shape of the first part 1, the head support part 20, the neck support part 21, the first horizontal support. A portion 22 and a second horizontal support portion 23 are included. Through holes 24 can be provided at all or some of these positions. The size of the through hole 24 is 1 mm to 10 mm. In use, the second part 2 is placed inside or below the first part 1.

  The shape of the second portion 2 may be different from the shape of the pillow (the shape of the first portion 1), and a simple shape is formed. For example, the surface is a plane. This can reduce the manufacturing cost. At this time, the second portion 2 can be installed inside or below the first portion 1. However, the fact that the shape of the second portion 2 approximates the shape of the first portion 1 can cause the first portion 1 to receive a uniform force. Since the material of the first part 1 is a soft material (sponge made of polyurethane), the flat surface of the second part 2 can withstand deformation of each of the reliable surfaces of the first part. And if the shape of the surface that can be relied upon is formed through a change in the thickness of the material of the first part 1, the material is soft and it is difficult to provide the support provided from the original second part 2 to the head and neck.

  Referring to FIG. 7, the head support portion 20, the neck support portion 21, the first horizontal support portion 22, and the second horizontal support portion 23 of the second portion 2 of the pillow form a housing. Formed inside the housing is a compartment 25 used to place objects. The compartment 25 is a grill 251 formed to extend downward from the inside of the housing of the second portion 2. The grill 251 and the housing are integrally molded by a method such as mold pressing and injection molding. Since the screw hole 26 can be installed at the position where the grill 251 intersects and the screw 27 can be attached, the wind door covering the grill 251 can be attached. Accordingly, the grill 251 can be used to support the housing of the second portion 2, and a medicine package having a medicine treatment or a health function can be independently placed in the compartment 25. It can suppress being torn.

  Referring to FIG. 8, the second portion 2 can further include a bottom plate 28 such that the bottom plate 28 and the housing join to seal the cavity of the housing. As a result, it is possible to avoid installing a device for fixing a wind door or a packet of medicine in each compartment 25 and to reduce the manufacturing process.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for attaching the altitude adjusting device 29 for adjusting the height of the pillow. The altitude adjusting device 29 can be installed on the grill 251 of the housing shown in FIG. 7 or the bottom plate 28 shown in FIG. The altitude adjustment device 29 includes a first part 291 (see FIG. 9) installed on the grill 251 or the bottom plate 28 of the housing, and a second part 292 detachable from the first part 291. Referring to FIG. 9, the first part 291 is installed at a position where the grill 251 intersects, and is in screw connection with the second part 292. Although not shown, those skilled in the art will recognize that the first part 291 is formed on the bottom plate 28 and has a columnar shape extending in the direction of the housing, and a screw hole is formed inside the columnar member. It can be seen that the second part 292 is threadedly connected. Thereby, the height of the pillow can be adjusted through adjusting the position of the screw.

  When the first component 291 is installed on the grill 251 of the housing, the height of the pillow can be adjusted without the bottom plate.

  For people with different bodies, an altitude adjustment device conveniently maintains the spine on the same horizon.

  Moreover, it is not necessary to make the height of the 1st horizontal support part 12 of the 1st part 1 and the height of the 2nd horizontal support part 13 different by installing the said altitude adjustment apparatus.

  The second part 2 of the pillow of the present invention can be manufactured by using a semi-rigid or hard material, for example, by using polyurethane. The pressure that the hardness brings from the head or neck can be supported. The first part 1 can be manufactured using a material that is soft, non-toxic and harmless to the human body, for example, using polyurethane. This makes it possible to adapt the head and sleep habits of different users, and when the sleeper sleeps, it can basically maintain an accurate posture, increase the sleep mass, the head, shoulder and neck The purpose of relaxing and resting can be realized.

  The above description merely discloses an embodiment of the present invention. An engineer in this field understands the embodiments of the present invention, and can make further modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. Modifications that fit the concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of claims for utility model registration of the present invention.
