[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a pillow adapted to reduce snoring.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The snoring sound during sleep is sometimes annoying to others, depending on its loudness. The occurrence of this snoring sound is considered to be a major factor in causing snoring because the air passage from the nose to the pharynx (airway) is blocked and the velocity of the air passing through the airway is increased. Therefore, keeping the airway from becoming narrow during sleep is one of the ways to reduce snoring, and laying the head of the sleeping user sideways is an effective way not to narrow the airway. It is known.

As described above, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-203013 discloses a device in which the head of a sleeping user is laid sideways to reduce snoring. In this invention, a machine room case containing a power operation mechanism such as hydraulic and pneumatic electricity is sandwiched between upper and lower cushions, and when the snoring is detected by the snoring sensor, the power operation mechanism is activated and It is a pillow in which the user's head is turned sideways by inclining the center part upward. Certainly, the pillow of the present invention can surely turn the head sideways to reduce snoring.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The pillow 1 according to the present invention comprises a lower pillow 2 and an upper pillow 22. The lower pillow 2 has a lower exterior body 3. The lower exterior body 3 is formed in a bag shape by superposing a rectangular surface material 4 and a lining material 5 and stitching the peripheral portions thereof. The inside of the lower exterior body 3 is divided into a plurality of accommodating portions 7 by providing a plurality of seams 6 along the width direction of the outer fabric 4 and the lining 5 along the entire length in the depth direction. The accommodation portion 7a located in the center of the accommodation portions 7a is larger than the other accommodation portions 7 and at least the upper surface is formed in an arc shape, and the accommodation portions 7b, 7c provided in the left and right directions from the largest accommodation portion 7a, 7d is formed so as to be gradually smaller. A relatively hard padding 8 such as a plastic cylinder piece or buckwheat hull is housed in the housing portion 7, and further extending pieces 9 extending over the entire length in the depth direction are provided on both sides in the width direction of the lower exterior body 3 described above. Is provided, and a locking tool 10 such as a velvet fastener is provided on the upper surface of the extension piece 9 to form the lower pillow body 2.

Similarly, the upper pillow 22 has an upper exterior body 23. The upper exterior body 2323 is formed in the same size as the lower exterior body 3. That is, the rectangular outer material 24 and the lining 25 are overlapped with each other and the peripheral portions thereof are sewn to form a bag shape. The interior of the upper exterior body 23 is divided into a plurality of accommodating portions 27 by providing a plurality of seams 26 extending along the width direction of the outer material 24 and the lining material 25 along the width direction. The accommodating portion 27a located at the center is larger than the other accommodating portions 27 and at least the lower surface is formed in an arc shape, and the accommodating portions 27b, 27c, 27d provided in the left-right direction from the largest accommodating portion 27a are successively smaller. Is formed. The accommodation portion 27 accommodates a relatively soft padding 28 such as feathers and cotton, and further has extending pieces 29 extending over the entire length in the depth direction on both sides in the width direction of the upper exterior body 23. A locking tool 30 such as a velvet fastener is provided on the upper surface of the extending piece 29.

The largest accommodation part 27 a of the upper pillow 22 is located on the largest accommodation part 7 a located in the center of the lower pillow 2, and the upper pillow 22 is placed on the lower pillow 2. Are overlapped with each other, and the locking tool 10 provided on the extension piece 9 of the lower pillow 2 and the locking tool 30 provided on the extension piece 29 of the upper pillow 22 are locked to each other so that they are not separated from each other. The pillow 1 is configured by the above.

According to the pillow 1 having the above structure, the user's consciousness becomes clear when the user places his / her head in the largest accommodating portion 27a of the upper pillow 22 and lays on his / her back. During this period, the consciousness of keeping the posture on the back works, and the user falls asleep deeply in the posture on the back. In this supine position, the air passage from the nose to the pharynx, that is, the respiratory tract is narrowed. This narrowing of the airways will increase the velocity of the air through the airways, causing snoring.

However, as shown in FIG. 2, since the upper surface of the accommodation portion 7a of the lower pillow 2 is formed in an arc shape and the padding 8 of the lower pillow 2 is relatively hard, the upper surface of this accommodation portion 7a. Is kept in a circular arc shape, and the lower surface of the accommodating portion 27a of the upper pillow 22 superposed on the accommodating portion 7a is also formed in an arc shape, and the arcuate surface and the arcuate surface are overlapped with each other. Since the accommodating portion 27a of 22 is formed so as to be easily inclined along the upper surface of the accommodating portion 7a of the lower pillow 2 with the center of the upper surface of the accommodating portion 7a of the lower pillow 2 as a fulcrum, Enters a deep sleep and tries to maintain a supine posture as the consciousness diminishes When the consciousness disappears, the user's head can move freely in the left and right directions, and a slight movement of the head causes a load The direction is slightly out of place and the head is not supported. The accommodation portion 27a of the upper pillow body 22 that is tilted moves along the upper surface of the accommodation portion 7a of the lower pillow body 2. Due to the tilted movement of the accommodation portion 27a, the head of the user is unintentionally turned sideways.

[0012] When the head is turned sideways, the airway that was squeezed when lying on the back is released from being squeezed, returning to the size of the normal airway, and the speed of the air passing through the airway is also the normal speed. Snoring is reduced.

In the embodiment described above, a relatively soft padding such as feathers or cotton was used as the padding 28 of the upper pillow body 22, but a soft padding provides a soft feel and comfort. However, the filling 28 of the upper pillow body 22 may be a relatively hard filling such as a plastic cylindrical piece or buckwheat hull.

[0014]
