Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention makes it possible to minimize the weight burden on the spine, particularly the worn-down spine, at the time of bedtime, so that even a person with weak waist does not have a backache when going to bed and a backache. The present invention relates to a sleeping aid that allows even a person with sleep to go to bed without feeling backache.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, many people have complained of low back pain, which seems to be a modern disease. Bedding is one of the causes of this back pain. Recently, houses have become Western-style, and bedding has changed from futons to beds. It is said that the ideal bed is a hard one with the spine almost straight. However, hard beds are not preferred because of the comfort of sleeping and some soft beds are commercially available. In the case of such a soft bed, when the person sleeps upward, the back and the pelvis sink too much, the lordosis of the lumbar spine becomes strong, and the pelvis also becomes strongly inclined. If you roll over in this position, you will need more energy than you need, and all this energy will be applied to your lumbar spine. Therefore, each time the person rolls over, labor is applied to the lumbar spine, and the labor is overused, resulting in fatigue of the waist and back pain.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Once a backache occurs,
If you bend your waist to become a middle waist, or if you go to bed in a supine position with labor on your waist, you will have severe back pain and become a middle waist.
It becomes difficult to sleep in a supine position. Further, when a backache occurs, waking up from the floor becomes painful, and raising and lowering of the futon becomes difficult, so that many people use a bed which is easy to wake up as a bed. However, in the case of a bed, sleeping upwards results in weight loss in the lumbar spine with the back and pelvis depressed and the waist bent, resulting in back pain.

According to a technical book, it is good to sleep with the legs a little raised as a way of sleeping without damaging the lower back. However, if you sleep with your legs slightly elevated like this, your upper body will be supported by your shoulders and lumbar vertebrae, and the weight of your raised legs will be supported by your lumbar vertebrae.In the end, most of your body weight will be involved in your lumbar vertebrae. , It will put pressure on the lumbar spine. This compression of the lumbar spine is one of the causes of back pain.

However, conventionally, no measures have been taken to alleviate back pain and to sleep comfortably in the supine position when sleeping in the supine position, which requires labor on the lower back.

[0006] The present invention can minimize the weight burden on the spine during sleep, especially on the worn spine, so that even people with low back pain who do not have low back pain due to sleep and who have low back pain. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sleep aid that allows the user to sleep upright without feeling backache.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventor has found that the low back pain-preventing sleep style, which has been conventionally indicated by a technical book, causes most of the body weight to be supported by the lumbar spine, causing back pain. The cause of this has been found and the present invention has been completed. That is, when sleeping in a supine position, the weight of the lumbar spine is prevented from being applied to the body so that the back pain is eliminated.

[0008] Basically, by raising the back (head to shoulder scapula) a little higher than the position of the foot, the chest is widened, the lumbar spine is flattened (straight), and the weight on the bed is placed on the back and hips. It becomes possible to lighten the lumbar region,
Preventing back stoop by stretching your chest during bedtime, relaxing the muscles of your lower back and back while exhaling with multiple breaths to promote enhanced lung function, and preventing back pain by bending your chest to prevent recurrence. It is something to prevent.

Therefore, in order to achieve the above object,
In the sleeping aid of the present invention, the rectangular plate member is formed with a taper portion formed of a straight line or a curved line at the front portion, and the front portion is configured to be inclined in a wedge shape toward the front end portion.

The distance between the scapula and the head differs depending on the individual. Therefore, the position of the pillow placed so that the front part of the backrest hits the scapula varies from person to person. Once you have positioned the pillow and slept it, roll it over while you are sleeping and then try to return it to the position where the front part of the original back rests on your shoulder blades. It's hard to come back. So while I was sleeping, I rolled over,
After that, when trying to return to the original position, put the pillow on the front of the back so that you can immediately return to the original position just by putting the head position on the pillow according to the length between each person's head and shoulder blades. So that it can be fixed.

Therefore, one or a plurality of groove portions are formed in the rear portion of the rectangular plate member in the front direction of the rectangular plate member, and a pillow comprising a neck rest portion and a back head receiving portion is moved in the groove portion. It is possible.

Then, the plate thickness of the rectangular plate member is set to 2 to 6
cm, and the height of the pillow is 2 to 6 cm.

Further, the plate width of the rectangular plate member is set to 15 to 15.
It is 30 cm.

[0014]

The sleeping aid which is formed by forming a taper portion formed of a straight line or a curved line at the front portion of the rectangular plate member and slanting in a wedge shape toward the front end portion is placed on the bed. Lay on the shape board with the front part lying on your back so that it touches your shoulder blades. Then, the position of the back (head to shoulder scapula) is slightly higher than the position of the foot, and the state becomes tense. As a result, the chest expands and the lumbar spine becomes flat (vertical when viewed from the side after being erected).

As described above, when the sleeping aid is inserted when sleeping, the weight of the bed is supported by the back and hips, and the burden on the lumbar spine can be reduced.
By not putting weight on the lumbar spine,
Can eliminate back pain. Also, by inserting a bed aid when sleeping, you can prevent the stoop by stretching your chest during sleep and relax the muscles of your lower back and back while exhaling with multiple breaths to promote strengthening of lung function, By bending the chest, back pain can be prevented and recurrence can be prevented.

The pillow is fixed to the upper part of the sleeping aid according to the distance between the head and shoulder blades of each individual. By fixing the pillow, the head position can be stabilized when trying to return to the original position after hitting over.

When the head is raised too much even when the bed aid is inserted at the time of sleep, the bed aid pushes the shoulder blades too far and raises the chest too much, making the body feel upside down, and conversely When it is lowered too much, it is the same as when the sleeping aid is not used, and the weight of the lumbar spine is the same as the weight of the back and hips, which makes it impossible to prevent back pain.

Therefore, since the pillow can be fixed to the upper portion of the bed aid according to the length between the head and shoulder blades of each individual, the pillow can be fixed after turning over. When returning to the position, the sleeping aid can be always set at a position according to the length between the head and the scapula.

The position of the pillow 15 is specified at this position. Therefore, the nuts 20 and 21 are tightened to fix the position of the pillow 15. By fixing the position of the pillow 15 in this way, when returning to the original position after hitting over while sleeping, since the body is moved around the position of the pillow, the scapulae are placed in front of the rectangular plate member 12. It can be brought into contact with 23 at any time. That is, even if a person turns over while sleeping, as shown in FIG. 11, the sleeping aid can always be set at a position corresponding to the length between the head and the scapula.

[0039]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

By forming a taper portion consisting of a straight line or a curved line in the front part of the rectangular plate material and inclining it in a wedge shape toward the front end part in the front part, the weight applied to the bed can be adjusted between the back and hips. Since it is supported by the part, the burden on the lumbar spine can be lightened, and by not putting the weight on the part of the lumbar spine, the back pain can be removed. In addition, the chest is prevented by stretching the chest during sleep, the muscles of the lower back and back are relaxed to promote the strengthening of lung function while exhaling with double breathing, and the back pain is prevented by bending the chest. Recurrence can be prevented.

One or a plurality of groove portions are formed in the rear portion of the rectangular plate member in the front direction of the rectangular plate member, and a pillow including a neck rest portion and a back head receiving portion is movably provided in the groove portion. Thus, when the person returns to the original position after hitting over while sleeping, the scapula can be brought into contact with the front part of the rectangular plate member at any time because the body moves around the position of the pillow. That is, even if the person turns over while sleeping, the sleeping aid can always be set at a position corresponding to the length between the head and the scapula.
