It is use condition explanatory drawing of the massage pillow which concerns on the form.

  As shown in the respective drawings, the massage pillow 1 according to the present embodiment has a pillow body 2 formed of a hollow body having a predetermined size and flexibility having a predetermined size. A back mat 3 formed of a hollow body and integrally connected to the pillow body 2 and a hollow body of a predetermined shape having flexibility, and a predetermined passage as a communication path communicating with a hollow portion of the hollow body An air cell 4 as the fluid cell, to which a pipe 5 is connected and disposed at a predetermined position that contacts the neck or shoulder in the pillow body 2 and a predetermined position that can contact the back in the back mat 3; An air injection / discharge device 6 is connected to the air cell 4 via the pipe 5 and serves as the fluid injection / discharge means for injecting or suctioning air as a fluid to the air cell 4 through the pipe 5. .

  The pillow body 2 is formed of a hollow body made of a strong flexible material that does not break even when the weight of the head or the pressing force from the inner air cell 4 is applied, and has a sufficient size to support the head. In addition, the upper surface is configured to be a curved surface along a portion from a person's head to the neck and shoulders. The pillow body 2 is provided with a predetermined-shaped air-permeable filler 7 that forms a pillow shape and holds the air cell 4 at a predetermined height, and is suitable for the person using the pillow body 2. It is kept at a certain height.

  The back mat 3 is formed of a hollow mat-like body made of a strong flexible material that is not damaged even when a weight of the chest or a pressing force from the inner air cell 4 is applied, and is connected to the pillow body 2. is there. Also in the back mat 3, a thin filler 7 having a predetermined shape that forms the mat shape and holds the air cell 4 at a predetermined height is disposed, and an appropriate height suitable for the person who uses the back mat 3. Keep on.

  The air cell 4 is integrally formed with the pillow main body 2 and the back mat 3 as a hollow body made of a flexible material that can withstand deformation caused by air injection and discharge. It is the structure which is each arrange | positioned in the position which hits, and is made into the predetermined | prescribed shape and magnitude | size which can give a sufficient massage effect with respect to each part, and can be expanded-contracted freely. On the other hand, the back mat 3 is an elongated hollow body and is arranged in the center of the back mat 3 such that the longitudinal direction is a longitudinal direction of the back mat 3 from the central position of the connecting portion with the pillow body 2. It is.

  The air injection / discharge device 6 communicates with a known air pump 6a for sucking and discharging air, a suction port and a discharge port of the air pump 6a, and an air cell 4 in the pillow body 2 and the back mat 3. And a known distributor 6b that is connected to each of the air cells 4 through each pipe 5 to switch between pressurized injection and suction / discharge of air to each air cell 4, and controls each of the air cells 4 by controlling the distributor 6b. The control unit 6c is configured to perform the expansion and contraction operations by repeatedly injecting and discharging air, and the operation unit 6d for a person to give an operation instruction to the control unit 6c. The operation unit 6d is integrally provided with an operation switch 6e operated by a person, and an operation start / end is instructed by a predetermined switch operation of the person. Further, the distributor 6b has a plurality of electromagnetic valves 6f that are connected to the suction port and the discharge port of the air pump 6a and switch the injection and discharge of air for each air cell 4, and each of the electromagnetic valves 6f The pillow body 2 is connected to the neck portion, the shoulder portion, and the air cells 4 of the back mat 3 via individual pipes 5, and the state of communication with the air pump 6a is switched to each air by each electromagnetic valve 6f. This is a mechanism that is performed independently for the cell 4 (see FIG. 3).

  Next, the operation of the massage pillow based on the above configuration will be described. First, a person who wants to receive massage puts his head on the pillow body 2 and his back on the back mat 3, and operates the operation switch 6 e to operate the air injection / discharge device 6 in a relaxed posture. Instruct the start. In the air injection / discharge device 6, the air pump 6a starts to operate and sucks / discharges air, and the control unit 6c controls the distributor 6b. The distributor 6b moves the predetermined pipe 5 to the discharge side of the air pump 6a. It will be in the state which makes it communicate. The air pump 6 a pressurizes and injects air into a predetermined air cell 4 via the pipe 5 to expand the air cell 4, and the pressing force due to the expansion of the air cell 4 is transmitted to the body contact portion via the pillow body 2.

  On the other hand, when the air cell 4 is expanded to the maximum extent, the distributor 6b is switched to a state where the pipe 5 communicates with the suction side of the air pump 6a under the control of the control unit 6c, and the air from the air cell 4 by the suction of the air pump 6a. The air cell 4 contracts to attenuate the pressing force, and does not apply the pressing force to the body contact portion. Thereafter, when the air cell 4 contracts to the maximum extent, the distributor 6b switches the communication state between the pipe 5 and the air pump 6a again, and the air cell 4 is in a state where air is injected from the air pump 6a.

  In this way, the states of air injection and discharge to and from the air cell 4 are repeated, and the air cell 4 expands and contracts, so that the massage target portion is positioned in the air cell 4 position of the pillow body 2 and the back mat 3. With this, you can intermittently press and stimulate, giving you the same massage effect as the massage. In particular, in the back mat 3, the air cell 4 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the body intermittently presses the central part of the back, so that the back muscles are repeatedly extended, and the effect of correcting the distortion of the spine in the longitudinal direction of the body is also achieved. can get. The pressing force due to the expansion of the air cell 4 is adjusted by the amount of air sent from the air pump 6a to the air cell 4, and the air amount is controlled by the control unit 6c so as to obtain an appropriate pressing force.

  Further, the controller 6c synchronizes the expansion / contraction of the neck portion of the pillow body 2 and the air cells 4 of the back mat 3 with each other while the air cell 4 of the shoulder portion of the pillow body 2 is expanded and contracted. The distributor 6b is controlled so as to coincide with each other when the partial air cell 4 contracts and expands. For example, when the distributor 6b communicates the pipe 5 connected to the air cell 4 of the back mat 3 to the discharge side of the air pump 6a, the distributor 6b is connected to the air cell 4 at the neck portion of the pillow body 2. The connected pipe 5 is also communicated with the discharge side of the air pump 6a. At the same time, the distributor 6b allows the pipe 5 connected to the air cell 4 in the shoulder portion of the pillow body 2 to communicate with the suction side of the air pump 6a. Thereby, while the neck part of the pillow main body 2 and each air cell 4 of the back mat 3 expand | swell simultaneously, the air cell 4 of a shoulder part shrink | contracts (refer FIG. 4 (A)). In this state, the person on the pillow body 2 and the back mat 3 is given an action of extending the neck. That is, since the head is relatively lowered by raising the back due to the expansion of the air cell 4 of the back mat 3, the head can be extended at the same time by moving the head toward the top of the head with the air cell 4 of the neck portion. It becomes. At this time, since the effect of extending the neck is enhanced if the shoulder portion is not moved, the air cell 4 in the shoulder portion is contracted. On the contrary, when the neck part of the pillow body 2 and the air cells 4 of the back mat 3 contract, the air cell 4 of the shoulder part of the pillow body 2 expands instead, and gives a pressure stimulus only to the shoulder part. (See FIG. 4B).

  As described above, in the massage pillow according to the present embodiment, the air cell 4 is disposed in the hollow pillow body 2 and the back mat 3, a person rests on the pillow body 2 above the shoulder, and the back. With the back placed on the mat 3, the air injection / discharge device 6 is operated to repeatedly inject and discharge air into the air cell 4, thereby repeatedly expanding and contracting the air cell 4 to be massaged. Because the air cell 4 in contact with these parts is pressed and stimulated from the neck to the shoulder and further to the back, it is assured that the predetermined part from the neck to the shoulder and further to the back is equivalent to itching in a relaxed posture. A massage effect is given, and it is easy to adjust the pressing force by adjusting the amount of fluid injected into and discharged from the fluid cell. In addition, air injection / discharge to / from each air cell 4 of the air injection / discharge device 6 is controlled for each air cell 4, and a plurality of air cells 4 appropriately set the timings of expansion / contraction to press each other. By being able to perform the operation, the ability to loosen the body is remarkably improved by the synergistic effect of the pressure stimulation by each air cell 4.

  In addition, in the massage pillow according to the embodiment, the air injection / discharge of the air cell 4 is configured to inject air again after all the air in the air cell 4 is sucked and discharged. While repeating the injection and discharge, air is not completely sucked and discharged from the air cell 4 so that a predetermined amount of air remains in the air cell 4 and the pillow body 2 and / or the back by the amount of air remaining in the air cell 4. A configuration in which the height of the mat 3 is slightly increased from the height of the filler 7 and the amount of air remaining in the air cell 4 is adjusted to allow fine adjustment of the height of the pillow body 2 and / or the back mat 3. It is also possible to adjust the height so that a person can always receive a pressing action by the air cell 4 in a comfortable posture, and the feeling of comfort during use increases and the ability to loosen the body is further enhanced.
