Description

[0001]
  The present invention can be applied to each user's physique and bedclothes.Pillow that can be designed according toIn particular, measure the user's physique and measure the sinking amount of the bedding laid on the lower part of the body, such as mattresses, based on the measurement results obtainedPillow that can be designedAbout.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, pillows suitable for users have been developed by various methods. For example, a storage bag for storing a pillow filling material, that is, the interior of the side of the pillow is divided into a plurality of parts, and the amount of the storage of the filling material is changed for each divided part, and the height of the pillow is changed. Pillows have been developed that allow the storage capacity of the filler to be adjusted.
[0003]
On the other hand, measure the shape of the body, and for the bedding laid under the body, such as a mattress, measure the amount of sinking of the bedding when a person lies down or lies down on it, Efforts are being made to develop suitable bedding.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a person lies on his or her back while lying on a bedding such as a mattress, the person's physique is used to determine whether or not the height of the pillow is appropriate for that person. The effect on the bed and the effect of the pillow on the bedding must be considered.
[0005]
That is, when looking at the bedding, because the amount of sinking based on the performance of the bedding itself when a load is applied to the bedding itself, the unevenness state of the body weight and the body contacting the bedding varies depending on the individual, The actual sinking amount of each part of the bedding that comes into contact with the body changes. Moreover, when it sees about a pillow, the height of the pillow changes because the sinking amount of the pillow by the weight of the head and the sinking amount of the bedding by the weight of the pillow are different from each other. That is, the height of the pillow when the pillow is actually used cannot be determined from the thickness of the apparent bedding and the height of the apparent pillow. If these changes are not grasped numerically, it is impossible to assume the height of a pillow when a person lies on his or her bedding while using a pillow on a bedding such as a mattress. It was difficult.
[0006]
  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present inventor is appropriate for the user by measuring the body and bedding.Can be designed to pillowI found.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In the pillow according to the present invention, the pillow side ground has a bag body for storing granular filler on the upper surface side, and a base material storage portion for storing a pillow base material made of a cushion material on the lower surface side. The bag body has a narrow cloth sewn in the length direction and a narrow cloth cloth sewn in the width direction inside the upper surface fabric and the lower surface fabric constituting the bag body. These compartments form a compartment in the bag body, and the compartment is provided with an opening that can be opened and closed by a slide fastener and a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners. On the upper and lower sides, a patch that serves as a check valve is sewn inward, and the hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the patch, and each hook is connected to each opening. It is provided with the structure which closes up.
[0008]
  like thispillowIf you adoptA padding, which serves as a check valve, is sewn inward so as to prevent the contained filler from spilling outside above and below each opening, and a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to this padding. Thus, by joining the hook-and-loop fastener, a structure for closing each opening is obtained, and the check valve effect is improved. Further, with this configuration, the filler does not easily spill out simply by opening the slide fastener.
  Also,like thispillow, Taking into account the height and weight of the body, each measurement result of the unevenness from the head to the buttocks on the back and sides of the body obtained by measurement, and the sinking amount of the bedding laid on the lower part of the body Based on the above, it is possible to design a pillow by adjusting the amount of the filler in each compartment inside the bag body that stores a plurality of fillers.
