Application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act On February 1, 2021, Ryoichi Mori published a document at Mori Orthopedic Surgery Clinic.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to pillows, and more particularly to pillows for treating the cervical spine.

In the field of orthopedic surgery, it is believed that a desirable posture requirement for a human being is that the four points of the back of the head, the back, the buttocks, and the heels are aligned. In this regard, a general pillow provided with a head-resting member inevitably fails to satisfy the above-mentioned requirements as the back of the head is lifted, and a desirable human posture cannot be formed. Therefore, there are neck pillows that do not have a head rest.
For example, there is a cervical pillow that has a convex portion at a portion that comes into contact with the neck. Specifically, "A pillow that is placed against the neck of a human body has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, and a sphere of the size of a ping-pong ball or a tennis ball is placed inside the apex of the pillow. A plurality of side bags are formed integrally with the pillow body, and the balls are arranged in a plurality of rows or pairs so as to sandwich the neck of a human body and are protruded, and the height of the pillow can be appropriately adjusted. Provided to be storable inside,
A pillow for cervical bone correction characterized by comprising them. ”. (Patent document 1)
There is also a cervical pillow made of a hard material for the entire pillow, including the part that comes into contact with the neck. Specifically, it is a pillow that is placed on the back of the neck while lying on one's back and rolls the neck to the left and right to apply acupressure. A neck shiatsu pillow characterized by (Patent document 2)

Utility Model Registration No. 3030161 JP-A-2000-333806

In the cervical pillow described in Patent Document 1, the back of the user's neck is placed between the protrusions provided on the cervical pillow in a supine position, so that the weight of the head moves left and right to the neck. The pressure from the is obtained by the projection of the convex portion. Therefore, the cervical spine is hyperextended due to the lifting from the rear of the neck, that is, the local lifting by the convex portion against the physiological lordosis of the cervical spine, which is not suitable for long-term use for therapeutic purposes.
In addition, in the cervical pillow described in Patent Document 1, when the height adjustment is required, the cushion 4, which is the filling material of the pillow, is released into the side bag 5, and when the height adjustment is not required, it is inserted into the pillow body. This is a mechanism for storing the side bag 5 . Therefore, it is difficult to adjust the height stepwise and to redo the height adjustment, and setting the height adjustment is very inconvenient.
The cervical pillow described in Patent Document 2 is entirely made of wood, which causes pain in the spinous process of the cervical vertebrae and causes excessive lifting from the rear of the cervical region, i.e., lifting against the physiological lordosis of the cervical vertebrae. As the cervical spine hyperextends, it is not suitable for long-term use for therapeutic purposes.

The cervical pillows of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are based on the fact that the inventors do not understand the anatomy of the cervical spine, do not consider changes in the neck over time during long-term use, and do not consider the back and neck of individuals. This is considered to be a problem caused by not considering the difference.
The present inventor, who is an orthopedic doctor, completed the present invention as a result of earnest research in order to solve the above problems.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems.
