Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pillow having effects such as health promotion and good sleep.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As the padding for the pillow, a hard material such as wood, ceramic or synthetic resin formed into a granular shape or a tubular shape was used, and when this pillow was put on the neck and laid down, it was formed on the surface of the pillow by many paddings. It is known that the unevenness stimulates the neck to give a massaging effect to the neck, and the ventilation inside the pillow is improved, so that the heat radiation effect can be improved.

However, in the structure in which only the hard padding is simply filled in the pillow, the pillow is too hard to sleep on the contrary. Regarding this point, the pillow is formed in two layers, a hard layer filled with a hard padding and a cushion layer filled with a cushioning material such as sponge, or the pillow is filled with a hard padding. By stitching the hard part and the soft part filled with a soft padding such as a cushioning material in one side of both bags, the hard part and the soft part can be overlapped. It is considered to do so (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-177969).

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, when a person sleeps using a pillow, it is desirable that the entire pillow has some cushioning properties. In addition, for the neck, as mentioned above, it is desirable that the surface of the pillow has appropriate irregularities in terms of the massage effect, while the portion of the pillow that comes into contact with the occipital region is smooth so as not to irritate the scalp. Is desirable.

On the other hand, as in the conventional case, the pillow is formed of the upper and lower two layers of the hard layer and the cushion body layer, or the hard portion and the soft portion are overlapped with each other. Cushioning can be added, but because the hard padding overstimulates the occipital region, it gives an uncomfortable feeling and makes it difficult to sleep, or the pillow mainly supports the occipital region, so it is hard. There was a problem that the massage effect could be diminished by the fact that the neck could not be stimulated sufficiently with the stuffing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pillow which solves this problem and can exert health promotion and sleep effects.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the present invention forms a substantially flat base body for supporting a human head by filling a cushioning material such as sponge into the main bag body, and an upper surface of the base body. A neck support portion formed by filling a hard stuffing into a sub bag body sewn to the main bag body is provided so as to project upward at a portion along the periphery of the base body.

The “hard padding” in the scope of utility model registration claims is, for example, a chip-shaped or tubular-shaped one made of wood, bamboo, ceramics, synthetic resin, or the like, or a buckwheat hull. It refers to a material that is not or hardly elastically deformed when packed in a sub-bag.

[0009]

[Operation and effect of the device]

 According to this structure, since the base body is formed of the cushioning material, the cushioning property of the entire pillow is not impaired, and the neck support is filled with the hard padding. A massage effect and heat dissipation effect can be added to the neck, and since the occipital region is supported by the cushion base body, the occipital region does not feel uncomfortable.

In addition, since the neck supporting portion projects from the upper surface of the base body, in other words, the height of the part of the pillow that hits the neck and the part of the pillow that hits the occipital region are different, so that a massaging effect is exerted on the neck. It can be surely given. Therefore, according to the present invention, under the condition that the cushioning property of the entire pillow is maintained, it is possible to secure the massage effect and heat radiation effect to the neck without stimulating the occipital region, so that the functions of sleep and health promotion are significantly improved. Has the effect of being able to improve.

Also, since the neck support is only partially provided on the upper surface of the base body, even if the hard padding is made of a material with a high specific gravity such as ceramic or wood, the entire pillow is supported. As a result, it is possible to prevent the weight from becoming heavy.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment, and in these drawings, a pillow indicated by reference numeral 1 includes a base body 2 having a rectangular shape in plan view and a portion of the upper surface of the base body 2 near one side thereof. It is composed of a neck support portion 3 having a semi-cylindrical cross section which is provided in a biased state.

The base body 2 is formed by packing two sponge cushion materials 5 in a main bag body 4 made of cloth in an overlapped state. A fastener 6 for taking in and out the cushion material 5 is provided. In addition, a large number of through holes 7 that penetrate vertically are formed in both cushion members 5 at appropriate vertical and horizontal intervals.

It should be noted that the main bag body 4 may be packed with only one cushion material 5, or may be packed with three or more cushion materials 5, and when a plurality of cushion materials 5 are packed, the fastener 6 is opened. The height of the entire pillow 1 can be adjusted by moving the cushion material 5 in and out. Further, the material of the cushion material 5 is not limited to sponge, but various materials such as cotton, feather, synthetic fiber, urethane foam, etc. can be adopted, and in any case, inside the main bag body 4. The height of the entire pillow 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of the cushion material 5 of the above.

The neck support portion 3 is formed by filling a hard padding 9 into a sub bag body 8 formed by sewing a cloth on the upper surface of the main bag body 4. As the material of the hard stuffing 9, various materials such as cypress, hiba, cherry blossoms, aromatic trees such as Kusunoki or bamboo, inorganic materials such as ceramics and cobblestones, synthetic resins or buckwheat hulls are used. 2A to 2E, various shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a cylindrical shape, a spherical shape, a cylindrical shape, and a sugar flat sugar shape can be used.

It should be noted that the padding 9 is formed in such a size that, in a state where a large number of pieces are filled in the sub-bag body 8, the surface of the neck support portion 3 has irregularities for appropriately stimulating a person's neck N. There is. A fastener 10 is provided on one side surface of the sub-bag body 8. When the fastener 10 is emptied and the padding 9 is put into and taken out of the sub-bag body 8, the relative movement of the neck support portion 3 from the upper surface of the base body 2 is prevented. The height can be adjusted.

It goes without saying that the sub-bag body 8 may be filled with not only the filling 9 made of one kind of material but also the filling 9 made of a plurality of materials. In the above configuration, the pillow 1 is used in a state in which the neck N is placed on the neck support portion 3 and the head H is placed on the base body 2 as shown in FIG. In this usage state, since the neck support portion 3 projects from the upper surface of the base body 2, the massage effect and the heat radiation effect by the hard padding 9 can be surely imparted to the neck N, while the head Since H is supported by the base body 3 made of the cushion material 5, the back of the head is not excessively stimulated.

Since the cushioning property of the base body 2 is given to the entire pillow 1, the neck N and the head H are supported in a comfortable state. When a large number of through holes 7 are formed in each cushion material 5 as in the above-described embodiment, heat dissipation can be improved. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment which is a modification of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, in the cushion material 5 located above, the portion below the neck support portion 3 is This is a shape of the upward projecting portion 5a having an arcuate cross section. By doing so, since the volume of the neck supporting portion 3 can be reduced without lowering its height, the padding 9 in the cushion 5 is made of ceramic. Even if it is heavy, there is an advantage that the pillow 1 can be made lighter.

In contrast to the case of FIG. 4, the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is one in which the portion of the base body 2 below the neck support portion 3 is thinned, and in this case, a hard padding is formed. There is an advantage that the heat radiation effect of 9 can be further improved. A fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is a modification of the above-mentioned FIG. 4, in which the cushion material 5 is divided into a front part and a rear part at the lower part of the neck support part 3 and other parts. The lower part of the neck support part 3 is divided into upper and lower parts, and the other parts are separated into upper and lower parts. In this way, the height of the neck support portion 3 and the height of the other portions can be adjusted individually, so that there is an advantage that the height adjustment can be made finely according to the difference in the physical constitution of the person.

In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, when the filling 9 is filled in the sub-bag body 8, the filling 9 is filled in an elongated pouch 11 having a length substantially the same as the width of the pillow 1, and A large number of these are packed in the sub-bag 8 as if they were bundled, or the filling 9 is packed in a small bag 11 of a rectangular shape or the like to form a beanbag-shaped bag. It was designed to be packed within 8. With this structure, since the filling 9 is stored in the pouch 11, the filling 9 can be prevented from being scattered when the fastener 10 is inadvertently opened.

In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 8, two neck support portions 3 having different heights are provided at two locations on the upper surface of the base body 2, that is, a portion near one side and a portion near the other side. However, if formed in this way, there is the advantage that the height can be changed simply by changing the direction. In the seventh embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the base body 2 is formed in a circular shape, and the neck support portion 3 is formed in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the base body 2. In this case, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 9, the inside of the sub-bag body 8 is circumferentially cut by blocking the sub-bag body 8 at a plurality of portions along the circumferential direction by partition walls 12. It is also possible to divide the area into a plurality of areas and fill each area with a filling 9 made of different materials.
