Pillow structure that allows you to sleep in a comfortable and resting posture by supporting it.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The pillow usually means a person who supports the head when a person sleeps, or a person who lays it under a long object and receives it. In the present invention, the pillow in claim 1 is applied to the latter person. The pillow in 2 corresponds to the former.

[0003] In the following description, the pillow is referred to as both unless otherwise specified, and the latter pillow is called a waist pillow and the former pillow is called a head pillow, and they are used separately. It

There are various shapes, sizes, materials, patterns, etc. of these pillows, and various pillows are available on the market according to the tastes of consumers, and various articles are used as substitutes for pillows. Has been done.

For example, as the waist pillow, a plastic pillow or a vertically split bamboo, etc. have been used, or a normal rectangular parallelepiped head pillow, a cushion, etc. have been substituted.

As the head pillow, those in which chemical materials such as buckwheat, cotton, feathers, urethane, etc. are included in a surface sheet are used, and the shape thereof is a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a cylindrical shape or a circular shape. There are a wide variety of things such as clothes, and there are various sizes and patterns, and cushions and waist pillows are often used as substitutes for naps and the like.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above conventional pillow structure has various problems as described below.

That is, since the waist pillow is made of exposed plastic or bamboo and has an uneven contact surface with the waist, and the shape is not gentle, unnecessary force is added to the waist and a feeling of discomfort is large, and elasticity is high. There is a problem that if you use it for a long time, you will rather hurt your back because it has no property.

Further, when a head pillow, a cushion, etc. are used as the waist pillow instead, the size is not appropriate, or it is necessary to fold to substitute, which is troublesome. Similarly, there was a problem in that unnecessary force was added to the lower back, which in turn hurt the lower back.

As described above, the head pillow supports the head, but since the neck part floats in the air when lying down and a gap is created between the neck part and the supine surface, the neck part Since the head and shoulders support the gravity applied to the neck, fatigue is likely to occur in the neck, and the air flows through the gap, which makes the shoulder cold and is not healthy. It was

[0011] In particular, the above problems are particularly prominent in elderly people and sick people, and especially in the cold days in the winter season.

Even if a cushion or a waist pillow is used instead of a head pillow during a nap, etc., the above problem is not solved but rather conspicuous.

[0013] Therefore, it has been expected that a waist pillow that does not hurt the waist even if it is used for a long time and a healthy head pillow that does not cause neck fatigue or shoulder coldness appear.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a pillow structure capable of correcting the lumbar bone while taking a rest in a natural body, and a healthy pillow capable of sleeping in an original comfortable posture for rest. It provides the structure.

[0015]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a cushioning material for cushioning the back side of the human body in a gentle curved portion configured to extend along the back side of the human body, thereby pressing the waist portion of the human body lying on its back from the back side. Accordingly, the above problem is solved by providing a pillow structure characterized by enabling bone correction of the lumbar region.

In addition, a cushioning material for cushioning the human body is provided in the curved portion configured to extend from the occipital region of the human body to the back portion, whereby the curved portion covers one surface extending from the occipital region of the human body lying on its back to the back portion. The object is to solve the above problems by providing a pillow structure characterized by supporting and allowing a good night's sleep.

[0017]

[Action]

 According to the first aspect of the invention, the gently curved portion of the pillow abuts on the waist in a natural manner along the back of the supine body, and the back of the waist is pressed by the weight of the supine body.

As a result, the spine curved to the back side (the spine of the cat spine, etc.) is pressed in the direction opposite to the curving direction (convex direction), so that the spine, that is, the lumbar bone can be corrected.

Further, the cushioning material provided on the curved portion of the pillow softens the contact between the curved portion and the back side of the waist, and the elasticity of the cushioning material does not cause discomfort even if it is used for a long time and does not hurt the waist. Act on.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the gentle curve of the pillow along the curve from the occipital region of the supine human body to the back region abuts on the entire back region from the occipital region in a natural manner. At times, the gravity applied to the upper half of the body is dispersed, and it is difficult for the weight to be applied to the neck and wrinkles on the neck.

In addition, since there is no gap between the pillow and the neck and the shoulder part is wrapped up, the circulation of air is obstructed to prevent shoulder cold, and in combination with the above action, it is possible to sleep in a comfortable posture. Becomes

Further, the cushioning material provided on the curved portion of the pillow softens the contact between the entire curved portion and the occipital region from the back of the head, as in the case of the invention according to the first aspect, and a long length is provided. Even if you use it for a while, you will feel comfortable and maintain a comfortable posture and sleep.
