Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a backrest pillow that efficiently corrects the skull deformation of an infant. [Structure] Stop bands 4, 4 are attached near the upper and lower ends in the longitudinal direction of an upper portion of a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped body 1 in which an outer cover 2 is filled with an appropriate elastic holding material 3 in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the pillow body 1. It is a back rest pillow for correcting the skull deformity of an infant.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pillow for correcting the skull deformity of an infant due to a sleeping habit at the time of childbirth or subsequent birth, and has a feature that a backrest pillow has never been seen so far.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The skull deformation that occurs during childbirth is corrected (rounded) to some extent by the hands of midwives, but this is also not complete. After that, the baby will have a skull deformity due to sleeping habits, etc. If left unattended, it will become a so-called distorted head, bluff head, etc. In severe cases, ear crushing, tooth distortion, etc. will be affected. Moreover, since it is impossible to correct after hardening, the child after growth will feel sad, and as a parent, he / she will be taken care of by that responsibility. There are so-called donut pillows etc. to promote the normal development of the infant's skull, but they are rather for preventing deformation, and they also get out or lie sideways due to the infant's vigorous movement or turning over. Therefore, a sufficient effect cannot be expected. Moreover, it is hardly useful for the correction of the once deformed skull.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Although the present inventor is involved in dislocation screening of infants as a surgeon, he is concerned that there are many other infants with cranial deformity, and in view of the fact that there is no decisive solution to this problem as described above, he has no intention of solving this problem. This is a pillow designed to take into account the baby's movements and habits, and aims to provide a corrective effect efficiently in a short period of time.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms a vertically long substantially rectangular parallelepiped body 1 in which an appropriate amount of elastic material 3 is filled in an outer cover 2. Then, stop bands 4 and 4 are attached to the upper part of the pillow 1 near both ends in the longitudinal direction in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction of the pillow 1 to form a back cushion for correcting the skull deformation of an infant. The outer cover 2 of the pillow body 1 may be hermetically sealed, but if it is a bag body having a fastener opening / closing portion 5 on the lower surface, the elastic holding material 3 inside can be taken out and washed. The retaining band 4 may have various shapes, but in order to secure it to the baby's soft belly, a flexible band and a Velcro fastener 6 as the retaining means are desirable.

[0005]

[Action]

 Now, to use this, as shown in FIG. 2, the pillow 1 is set in the vertical direction, and the baby's spinal spine is laterally offset to the left or right. The band 4 and 4 are swung around and fastened on the ventral side. Then, lay it down on the futon in that state. Then, since the pillow 1 is biased to one side from the spine as described above, the infant is naturally biased to the one-sided (raised) supine position, and as a result, the protruding side of the deformed skull is a futon or a futon. It is pressed against the matte surface and the normal side floats (Fig. 3). At this time, since the pillow body 1 has an appropriate elasticity due to the elasticity retaining material 3 inside, the pillow body 1 does not suffer any pain and alleviates the discomfort. The deformed protrusion is gradually corrected by the pressure applied to the one side. Since the pillow 1 is located at the eccentric position of the spine and cannot be reversed by the baby's own body movements, this upward posture can be forcibly maintained as it is, and an effective therapeutic effect can be achieved. A schematic representation of the process after use is shown in Fig. 4, and a considerable amount of correction has already been made in the first month, and a normal deformation can be completely cured in two months.

【Example】

 Reference numeral 1 denotes a vertically elongated rectangular parallelepiped pillow body, and an outer cover 2 of the pillow body is formed of a cloth with a floral pattern or the like, and a fastener opening / closing portion 5 is provided on a lower surface thereof. Further, the inside thereof is filled with an elastic material 3 which is a mixture of 50% natural cotton and 50% polyester cotton. Then, near the both ends of the upper part of the pillow 1 in the longitudinal direction, cloth band fastening bands 4 and 4 are attached in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the pillow 1, and a Velcro fastener 6 is attached to each corresponding end. Put on and complete the back cushion for correcting the infant's skull deformation.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention has been able to provide the backrest pillow that promptly and efficiently corrects the infant's skull deformity, which was mentioned at the beginning, and contributes to the healthy development of childcare. large. In terms of use, the infant is forced to take a posture, but there is no pain, and since short-term treatment is possible, the infant can immediately return to the original posture. In addition, it is the bone of the present invention that the pillow is put on the back, and unlike the donut pillow, the baby's head and back are rather well ventilated, which is rather comfortable. Since the structure is relatively simple, there is an advantage that mass production is possible at low cost including material cost. After the baby has grown up, it is possible to play as a simple backpack as shown in Fig. 5 by taking out the inner filling (elasticity holding material 3) from the pillow 1 and leaving only the outer cover 2. It is possible (at this time, girls and others are delighted if the jacket is made of patterned cloth).
