【Example】

 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. A four-sided frame 2 having an open upper end is erected at the center of a flat rectangular base 1, and six cylinders 3 are erected on the base 1 in the four-sided frame 2 at intervals. Each of these cylinders 3 is a cylinder whose upper end is open. A lid body 4 having side edges 4b hanging downward from the outer peripheral edges of the four sides of the upper plate 4a is vertically slidably capped on the four side frame 2, and the lid body 4, the base 1 and the four side frames are provided. The closed chamber 5 is formed by 2. The base 1 in the four-sided frame 2 is provided with several small-diameter exhaust holes 6.

Six tubular bodies 7 hang from the lower surface of the upper plate 4a of the lid body 4, and these tubular bodies 7 are vertically slidably fitted in the upper end openings of the tubular bodies 3. Since the lower ends of the respective cylinders 7 are closed, a sealed chamber 8 is formed inside each cylinder 3. A small-diameter exhaust hole 9 is provided in the lower surface of each of these closed chambers 8 and the base 1 of the cylindrical body 3. Further, on the outer circumferences of the cylinders 3 and 7, there are provided frustoconical spring springs 10 whose upper ends are in contact with the lower surface of the upper plate 4a of the cover 4 and whose lower ends are in contact with the base 1. There is. On the upper plate 4a of the lid body 4, a cushion-cum-bag body 12 is detachably provided via a joining tool 11 such as a hook-and-loop fastener, and also on the base 1 on one side of the four-sided frame 2. Is equipped with a clock 13.

A cover 14 made of a soft material for wrapping the base 1, the bag 12 that also serves as a cushion, and the watch 13 is provided. Reference numeral 15 in the drawing is a projecting green provided on the lower surface of the base 1, and the projecting green 15 does not block the openings of the exhaust holes 6 and 9.

In the case of the first embodiment, the lid body 4 is supported by the spring spring 10, and the four side frames 2 and the respective cylinder bodies 3 serve as a guide to allow the lid body 4 to move up and down, so that the user can move it sideways. When this pillow is used, the spring spring 10 contracts due to the weight of the head, and the lid 4 lowers as shown in FIG. The spring spring 10 is set so that it stops when the head and the body are substantially horizontal. The height of the horizontal head differs depending on whether the person is lying on his back or lying sideways, but this spring spring 10 has a width of about 5 cm and the height changes even when a head with the same load is placed. .

[0012] Moreover, when the body is turned over from the supine to the side and from the side to the supine, the head inclines in a naive posture, and the inclination changes the load. As a result, the sprink panel 10 expands and contracts. Therefore, the height of this pillow changes according to the change in the height of the head when lying on its back and sideways.

Further, since the closed chambers 5 and 8 are filled with air, respectively, even when a load is applied to the lid 4, the air pressure in the closed chambers 5 and 8 causes the lid 4 to descend rapidly. do not do. The air in the closed chambers 5 and 8 is gradually exhausted from the small-diameter exhaust holes 6 and 9, whereby the lid 4 slowly descends. Even when the lid 4 is lifted by the force of the spring spring 10, the lid 4 is slowly lifted while gradually introducing air from the exhaust holes 6 and 9 into the closed chambers 5 and 8. Therefore, the speed of vertical movement when the load of the lid 4 is received can be controlled by the size of the exhaust hole 6 or 9.

In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, in the case where the cushion-cum-bag 12 is provided between the upper plate 4a of the lid 4 and the cover 14, if necessary, ice non or ice is put in the bag 12. You can put it in and keep your head cool, which is ideal for sleepless nights in the summer or for the sick. Of course, you may put other appropriate things.

Further, the clock 13 is a voice clock that pronounces the current time at what hour and what minute by touching it lightly with a hand. In that case, when the user wants to know the current time, he does not search for the clock and moves his body. Instead, it is extremely convenient because you can find the time by touching it lightly with your hand. In addition, the above clock 13 may be set to have a wake-up volume that only the user of this pillow can understand, in which case it is possible to know the time at a volume that only the person himself / herself can hear. It becomes an alarm clock that does not cause any inconvenience.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. An inner bag 17 containing a cushion material is provided inside the flat rectangular pillow body 16, and an audio clock 18 is provided on the lower right side of the pillow body in a state of use. The shape of this audio watch 18 is a quadrangle, and its height is lower than the height of the pillow 16 at the time of use, and a part of the inner bag 17 is inserted between them, so that the user can put his head on the head. It is designed not to give the user the stiff, rugged feel of the watch when mounted. Further, the voice clock 18 is provided with a switch button 19 which the user touches when he / she wants to know the time and a speaker 20 which emits a voice notifying the time. The inner bag 17 and the voice clock 18 are completely wrapped in a pillow cover 21 made of a soft material.

In the case of this embodiment, for example, with the voice watch 18 lying down, with the head resting on the pillow 1, the switch 19 can be touched lightly from above the pillow cover 21 with the present condition. The time is pronounced as what hour and minute, and in that case, when you want to know the current time, you can open the eyes, do not look for the clock, do not move the body, just touch the switch part with your hand. The time is known and it is extremely convenient. Moreover, since the voice that tells the time is output from the pillow body 16, the user usually hears the ear close to or sticks to the pillow during bedtime, so the volume can be adjusted so that the user of the pillow can hear even at a very low volume.

Further, the voice clock 18 may be set to have a wake-up volume that is only noticeable to the user of this pillow, and in this case, it is possible to know the time with a volume that is only audible to the person himself / herself. You can do it, and it will be an alarm clock that will not bother others.

In the second embodiment, the voice timepiece 18 provided in the pillow 16 is integrally provided with the switch part, the timer main body and the speaker part, but only the switch part is provided. Other than the above, it may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the pillow body 16, or only the switch portion and the speaker portion may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the pillow body 16 separately from the timepiece body.
