[0010]

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
A description will be given with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pillow among cushions. First, in FIG. 2, the substantially rectangular bag-like object 1 is formed by sewing two cloths around each other, and inside the bag-like object 1 corresponds to a room as shown in FIG. Storage rooms 2 and 3 are provided. These storage chambers 2 and 3 are formed by sewing a partition cloth 4 on the bag-shaped material 1 and dividing the inside of the bag-shaped material 1 into upper and lower stages, and along the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped material 1. It is extended. The partition cloth 4 corresponds to a partition member.

The upper storage chamber 2 and the lower storage chamber 3 are filled with a plurality of silica gel particles 5 and plastic particles 6 corresponding to the filler. The silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 are packed in such a density that they can move in the storage chambers 2 and 3 when a predetermined pressing force is applied. Each plastic grain 6
Has a straw shape with large diameter and length.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a main body formed by filling a plurality of silica gel particles 5 and plastic particles 6 in the bag-shaped material 1. As the silica gel particles 5, B-type silica gel particles having a humidity control property are used.

The bag-like object 1 is provided with three strings 8 penetrating both storage chambers 2 and 3 (only one is shown). Buttons 9 are attached to both ends of each string 8, and each button 9 prevents the string 8 from coming off when it comes into contact with the surface of the bag 1. At the same time, by sandwiching the main body portion 7, both storage chambers 2 and 3 are deformed, and narrow portions 2a and 3a are formed at the center portions in the lateral direction of the storage chambers 2 and 3, respectively.

Two rubber strings 10 corresponding to elastic members are sewn on the inner surface of the bag 1. Each of these rubber cords 10 is located at the center of the bag 1 in the height direction (the boundary between the storage chambers 2 and 3), and as shown in FIG. It is provided. Then, each rubber cord 10 exerts an elastic return force so as to contract the main body portion 7 in the longitudinal direction as indicated by the arrow, and the main body portion 7 is raised.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when the head and the neck are placed on the body 7 while lying on their backs, the plurality of silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 move according to the shapes of the head and the neck.
At the same time, the two rubber cords 10 press the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 toward the center of the pillow. Therefore, the main body portion 7 rises and fits the head and the neck. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the head and the neck are laid sideways and placed on the main body 7, the plurality of silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 move according to the shapes of the head and the neck. At the same time, the two rubber cords 10 press the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 toward the central portion of the pillow, so that the main body portion 7 rises and fits the head and neck.

According to the first embodiment, since the elastic cords 10, 10 are sewn on the outer side of the bag-shaped article 1, when the head and the neck are placed on the main body 7, the head and the neck are placed.

Appropriate resistance is imparted to the movement of the plurality of silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6. Therefore, the shape stability of the main body portion 7 is improved, so that the height dimension of the main body portion 7 does not change even if the head and neck are moved, and as a result, more comfortable sleep is obtained. .

Incidentally, in forming the narrow portion in the bag-shaped product 1, it is conceivable to partially sew the upper and lower surfaces of the bag-shaped product 1. However, in this case, the height dimension of the narrow portion cannot be easily adjusted, and the movement resistance of the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 becomes excessive, so that the above-described height adjusting operation and shape retaining operation are not smoothly performed. There is fear.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the narrow portions 2a and 3a are formed by attaching the buttons 9 to both ends of the string 8. Therefore, the dimensions of the narrow portions 2a and 3a can be adjusted only by adjusting the length of the string 8 and adjusting the amount of the body portion 7 sandwiched by the buttons 9. Moreover, since the partition cloth 4 and the string 8 are the only members that act as the movement resistance of the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6, it is easy to set the movement resistance of the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 as a whole, and the above-mentioned heights are set. The adjusting operation and the shape holding operation are smoothly performed.

Further, a plurality of silica gel particles 5 are stored in the storage chamber 2.
And plastic granules 6 were filled. Therefore, due to the humidity control property of the silica gel particles 5, the main body portion 7 is held in a refreshed state without being sticky. At the same time, the breathability of the silica gel particles 5 and the plastic particles 6 improves the cooling performance of the head. Further, the storage chambers 2 and 3 were filled with silica gel particles 5 and plastic particles 6 having different sizes. Therefore, different feelings can be obtained when the head is placed on the pillow with the storage chamber 2 facing upward and when the head is placed on the pillow with the storage chamber 3 facing upward.

In the first embodiment, the bag-shaped material 1
The elastic cords 10 are sewn on the long side portions of the above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the elastic cords 10 are respectively attached to the three sides surrounding the bag-shaped object 1.

You may use. In addition, in the first embodiment, the inside of the bag-shaped material 1 is divided into two stages, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be divided into three or more stages, for example. In this case, 2 pieces of partition cloth 4 are placed inside the bag 1.
More than one piece will be sewn.

Further, although the present invention is applied to the cushion (that is, the pillow) for placing the head and the neck in the first embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the foot,
The present invention may be applied to a cushion for supporting a part of the body represented by the waist, elbows and back. In this case, the shape of the main body is set according to the placement portion (for example, when placing the waist or the like, as in the third embodiment described later,
The main body is formed in a circular shape), and the elasticity of the main body may be adjusted by a filling material.

In this structure, when a part of the body is placed on the main body, a pressing force acts on the main body to remove the filling material from the pressed portion. Along with this, the body portion rises due to the urging force of the rubber cord. For this reason, the height dimension of the main body is automatically adjusted according to the shape of the body, so that a comfortable feeling can be obtained. Moreover, since the plurality of chambers and the narrow portion provide a suitable resistance to the movement of the filling material, the shape stability of the main body portion is improved. Therefore, if you move a part of your body,
The height dimension of the main body will not change, and as a result,
You can get a more comfortable use.
