It is a front view of the ruler for confirming an appropriate pillow which concerns on Example 1 of this invention. It is explanatory drawing when the ruler for confirming the proper pillow which concerns on Example 1 of this invention is used for the user of the pillow in the supine position, and (a) in the figure shows the pillow in a proper state. In the figure, (b) indicates that the pillow is too low, and (c) in the figure indicates that the pillow is too high. It is explanatory drawing when the ruler for confirming the proper pillow which concerns on Example 1 of this invention is used for the user of the pillow in the lying state, and (a) in the figure is the state which a pillow is a proper state. In the figure, (b) indicates that the pillow is too low, and (c) in the figure indicates that the pillow is too high.

Hereinafter, preferred examples of a ruler for confirming an appropriate pillow according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A shown in FIG. 1 indicates a ruler for confirming a proper pillow (hereinafter, simply referred to as a “ruler”), and the ruler A indicates that the pillow of the pillow user in the supine position is appropriate or inappropriate. It has both a function of confirming whether the pillow is appropriate and a function of confirming whether the pillow of the pillow user in the lying position is appropriate or inappropriate. However, two types of rulers, each having its own function, may be used.

The ruler A is a base material, and is composed of a rectangular flat plate having a linear base a with a transparent portion provided in a part thereof, and a vertical straight line portion 10 and a horizontal straight line portion 20 are displayed. ing. The vertical straight line portion 10 is represented by a line perpendicular to the base a. Further, the horizontal straight line portion 20 is displayed as a line parallel to the base a at regular intervals. The flat plate does not necessarily have to have other sides straight as long as the base a is on a straight line. Further, the base material is not limited to the above-mentioned flat plate, and may be composed of a frame, a vertical straight line portion, a horizontal straight line portion, a supine state reference portion, a recumbent state reference portion, a first inclined line, and the like described later. The second inclined line may be composed of a rigid line or a narrow plastic body that runs over the left, right, top and bottom of the frame.

The vertical straight line portion 10 is provided with a supine state reference portion 11 at a specific position thereof. When the ruler is used, the supine state reference unit 11 specifies the position of the ear (strictly speaking, the ear gate) of the pillow user in the supine state. In this embodiment, the position of the supine position reference unit 11 is specified as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the position that serves as a reference when using a ruler may be specified and set.

Further, the horizontal straight line portion 20 is provided with a lying state reference portion 21 at a specific position thereof. When using the ruler, the recumbent state reference unit 21 specifies the position of the pillow user's throat (strictly speaking, the center in the vertical direction of the throat) in the recumbent state. In this embodiment, the position of the lying state reference unit 21 is specified as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the position that serves as a reference when using a ruler may be specified and set.

In this embodiment, the supine position reference unit 11 and the supine position reference unit 21 are provided at the same position, which has the advantage of being easy to manufacture and easy to use, but they are not necessarily provided at the same position. No need.

The ruler A is provided with a transparent portion to be described in detail below.

The transparent portion extends from the supine state reference portion 11 and the supine state reference portion 11, and forms an angle inclined with respect to the vertical straight line portion 10 and an angle further inclined than the first inclined line 12. It is composed of a triangular confirmation portion 14 between the second inclined line 13 and the second inclined line 13. Since this angle is set to 5 ° to 15 ° according to various test results regarding the suitability of the pillow in the lying state, the distance between the vertical straight line portion 10 and the first inclined line 12 is the direction of the pillow user's mouth. The angle is set to be tilted by 5 °, and the angle between the vertical straight line portion 10 and the second tilt line 13 is set to be tilted by 15 ° toward the mouth of the pillow user.

This makes it possible to confirm whether the pillow is appropriate or inappropriate for the user of the pillow in the supine position, as will be described later.

Further, the transparent portion is composed of a recumbent state reference portion 21 and a rectangular confirmation portion 22 between the linear base a of the A and the horizontal straight portion 20. In this embodiment, the transparent rectangular confirmation portion 22 is entirely transparent, but if at least the head side 22a is transparent, there is no problem in use.

This makes it possible to confirm whether the pillow is appropriate or inappropriate for the user of the pillow in the lying state, as will be described later.

Regarding the above-mentioned transparent part, the other parts may remain transparent or opaque, but if it is made translucent, the pillow is appropriate or inappropriate for the pillow user. It is convenient to check if. Further, the ruler A can be used upside down according to the position where the pillow user is sleeping, that is, the position of the head and the position of the feet.

Further, with respect to the transparent portion described above, one or both of the supine state reference portion 11 and the triangular confirmation portion 14 in the above embodiment may be opaque or translucent, and the other portion may be a transparent portion. Further, one or both of the lying state reference portion 21 and the rectangular confirmation portion 22 in the above embodiment may be opaque or translucent, and the other portion may be a transparent portion.

FIG. 2 is a measurement of a pillow user in a supine position using the ruler A of the first embodiment, and the position of the pillow user's ear is aligned with the supine state reference unit 11 to form a triangular shape. It shows a state in which the position of the eyes of the pillow user is seen from the confirmation unit 14.

(A) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in an appropriate state because the eyes of the pillow user can be visually recognized from the triangular confirmation portion 14.

(B) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in a state of being too low because the eyes of the pillow user cannot be visually recognized and the nose can be visually recognized from the triangular confirmation portion 14.

(C) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in a state of being too high because the eyes of the pillow user cannot be confirmed from the triangular confirmation portion 14 and the upper part of the eyes can be visually recognized.

FIG. 3 shows the measurement of the pillow user in the lying state using the ruler A of the first embodiment, and the position of the pillow user's throat (center position in the vertical direction) on the lying state reference unit 21. It shows a state in which the position of the nose of the pillow user is seen from the rectangular confirmation unit 22.

(A) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in an appropriate state because the horizontal straight line portion 20 can be visually recognized passing over the tip of the nose (tip of the nose).

(B) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in a state of being too low because the tip of the nose (tip of the nose) can be visually recognized below the horizontal straight line portion 20.

(C) in the figure indicates that the pillow is in a state of being too high because the tip of the nose (tip of the nose) can be visually recognized on the horizontal straight line portion 20.

As described in detail above, the ruler A according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, so that whether or not the pillow is appropriate for the person who uses it can be easily determined in the bedding store or at home. It has the effect of being measurable and confirmable, and it is inexpensive to manufacture and can be used as a promotional item in bedding stores.
