Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention mainly relates to a measuring device for selecting a pinerest to find an optimal pinerest that is considered to be comfortable for a user who purchases a pinerest.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

The properties of bedding such as pinerests have a great influence on the comfort of the user, and recently, many types of pinetresses have been sold to accommodate the body shape and preference of the user. However, it is difficult for users to determine which one is best for their sleeping comfort. Therefore, it has become necessary for those selling pine mattresses to tell users which one is more comfortable for them to sleep on. For example, as shown in Figure 1, we will teach you how much to inflate Pad A or Mattress B, which is a type that provides air cushions in the lower back and neck to support the curved shape of the spine and make sleeping comfortable. As shown in FIG. 2, there are two types of general mattresses, one hard and one soft, and it is necessary to tell the user which one is more comfortable to sleep on.

Therefore, the applicant previously disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 53-66329 a measuring device for selecting a pine tress which allows one to easily select a pine tress with hardness suitable for oneself. This device uses a standard pinerest and displays the state when the user lies down on this standard pinerest, and if the display deviates from the ideal display of this standard pinerest, it will ask whether a harder pinetress is better than this standard pinerest. The test was to determine whether soft pine tresses were good. However, with this device, the internal filling and springs of the standard pinerest absorb the user's body shape, so the measurements had to be rough.

[Purpose of invention]

By directly measuring the user's body shape, this invention firstly determined the optimal air supply in the air cushion for users of Pad A or Mattress B, which have air cushions in the neck and waist as shown in Figure 1. To provide a measuring device for selecting a mattress, which can be easily taught by a person who sells a pad with an air action or a mattress, in order to know the amount of air in the pad. A second object of the present invention is to provide a measuring device for selecting a mattress that is useful for users who purchase a general mattress as shown in FIG. 2 to select the most comfortable and optimal mattress.

[Summary of the idea]

This idea consists of a pillar installed on a base, a plurality of supporting members that are slidably engaged with the pillar and can be fixed at any position, and a height measuring device attached to the supporting members in order from the top end of the pillar. A measuring device for selecting a pinerest, which is equipped with a shoulder width measuring device and a shape measuring device for the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine, allowing those who use pinerests or pads with air cushions to select the most comfortable and most comfortable pinerest. It is.

[Example of idea]

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a base, and 2 a support column, which is inclined at an angle of about 15 degrees with respect to the floor surface and its lower surface is fixed to the base 1. The base 1 is equipped with a weight scale 3, and the support 2 has, in order from the upper end to the lower end, a height measurement device 4, a shoulder width measurement device 5, a cervical spine shape measurement device 6, and a lumbar spine shape measurement device. 7. A waist circumference measurement tool 8 is provided.

A counter 9 is provided on the cervical and lumbar spinal column-shaped measuring instruments 6 and 7, and each of the measuring instruments is attached to a support member 10 that is slidably engaged with the column 2. The support member 10 is attached to the column 2 by a set screw 15.
can be fixed at any position.

The height measuring device 4 consists of a head abutting plate 11 fixed at right angles to the support member 10a and a scale 12 carved on the column 2, and the shoulder width measuring device 5 is formed by bending it on the side of the supporting member 10a. The formed arm 13 is rotatably attached, and a scale 14 that can freely appear and retract is fitted into the arm 13c that is orthogonal to the head contact plate 11. The scale 14 has graduations 14a engraved thereon, and a shoulder abutment plate 14b is attached to the end thereof.

The cervical spinal column shape measuring device 6 and the lumbar spinal column shape measuring device 7 are mounted on supporting members 10b and 10c, respectively.
6 and support rod 17 are fixed. A velvet fastener (not shown) is fixed to the support plate 16, and the air action 18 is connected through the velvet fastener.
is attached. Support rod 17 has counter 9
is fixed, and air supplied from a manual air pump 19 is filled into the air action 18 through pipes 20 and 21. When supplying air, the tube 20
passes through the counter 9 and displays the number of times air is supplied by the air pump 19 (pumping number). A retractable scale 22 is fixed to one end of the support rod 17 of the lumbar spinal column shape measuring device 7, and the user's waist circumference can be measured.

In order for the user to use the device of this invention, the user should proceed as follows.

First, the user climbs onto the base 1 and measures his or her weight using the scale 3.The user's height is determined by moving the support member 10a up and down with the support 2, bringing the neck contact plate 11 into contact with the user's head, and measuring the scale 12 carved on the support 2. Read. To measure the shoulder width, use the shoulder width measuring tool 5 to measure from the base of the neck to the edge of the shoulder.The arm 13c is rotated on the same line as the shoulder, and the shoulder contact plate 14b is brought into contact with the edge of the shoulder. Scale 14a
Read the number from the base of the head to the edge of the shoulder.
Measuring tools 6 and 7 are used to measure the shape of the spinal column in the cervical region and the shape of the spinal column in the lumbar region. User is air action 18
is placed on the user's neck and waist, and air is supplied by the air pump 19 until the air pump swells and the user feels pressure on the neck and waist. The counter 9 reads the number of times air is supplied in this pressurized state.

To measure the waist circumference, wrap the scale around the torso using the retractable scale 22, and connect the support rod 17 and the scale 2.
It is calculated by adding the two dimensions.

Next, we will explain how to select a pine tress based on the above measurement values. First, the appropriate longitudinal dimension of the pine tress is 30
cm, and the appropriate height of the pillow is determined by the shoulder width measuring device 5. Addition factors based on the internal structure of the pillow are added to the measured shoulder width of the user, and this value is compared to a value determined based on a large number of sample data that are considered to be easy to sleep on, to determine which pillow is suitable for the user. This is to teach you what you are doing. Next, we will describe how to use the measured values of the spinal column shape of the cervical and lumbar regions, that is, the number of times air is displayed on the counter 9 when the air is blown from the air pump 19. The air pump of the pad in FIG. 1 is equipped with the same air pump 19 of the device, and the number of times of air supply measured by this device is multiplied by the volume ratio of the air pump C of pad A and the air pump 18 of the device. It is sufficient to supply air to the air action C of the pad A. In other words, since the air action of the pad is larger than the air action of the device, this device allows the number of pumping times of the pump to deliver air to the pad air action to be easily determined with a smaller number of air delivery times.

In the case of a pinerest without an air action, as shown in Fig. 2, the seller must install the air action 1
The numerical value that determines the correlation between the number of times of air supply and the hardness and softness of the pine tress is obtained from a large number of sample data. Generally speaking, if the number of air blows is high, a soft pine rest is better, and for users who need a small number of air blows, a hard pine rest will make it easier for them to sleep.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention consists of a support column set up on a base, a plurality of support members that are slidably engaged with the support support and can be fixed at any position, and a support member that is connected to the support column from the top end of the support column. In order, height measuring device, shoulder width measuring device,
Since the device is equipped with a measuring device for the shape of the cervical and lumbar regions of the spinal column, the seller can provide a measuring device for selecting a mattress that can teach a person who uses a mattress or a pad with an air cushion to select a comfortable mattress to sleep on.
