1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory perspective view showing the structure, FIG. 2 is a sectional view, and FIGS. The perspective view and the cross-sectional view, FIG.
It is a perspective view showing an example.

A first embodiment, the structure of which is shown in FIG.
Bag-shaped bodies 2 of different types, ie, individual bag-shaped bodies 2
a, 2b, 2c and 2d. As shown in FIG. 2, the bag-like body 2a has feathers 1a, and the bag-like body 2b has buckwheat husk 1
b, the bag 2c is filled with activated carbon (bincho charcoal) 1c, and the bag 2d is filled with glass beads 1d.
Each of the fillers 1 shown in FIG. 2 is represented as a model. Actually, for example, feathers 1a are more densely packed in random directions, and activated carbon (bincho charcoal) 1c or the like is used. Are much smaller or granular. These four bag-like bodies 2 are filled with feathers 1a in the portions that come into contact with the head, the softest bag-like bodies 2a are filled with buckwheat hulls 1b, and the bag-like bodies 2a are slightly filled. The bag-shaped body 2b which is hard but easily conforms to the shape of the head and is rich in air permeability is
A bag 2c having a hygroscopicity and absorptivity filled with activated carbon (Bincho charcoal) 1c underneath, and a relatively hard and air-permeable bag filled with glass beads 1d in the lowermost layer. The bodies 2d are stacked to form the pillow base 3.

The pillow base 3 is covered by the fixing means 4 to form a pillow. The fixing means 4 of this embodiment has a structure in which a sheet (or cloth) 4c also serving as a pillow cover is wound, and has a structure in which ends of the sheet 4c are connected to each other by a planar fastener 4a. The planar fastener 4a is additionally attached to a portion that is not used for the time being so that it can cope with a change in the number of the bag-like bodies 2. In the drawing, a decorative lace is modeled on the periphery of the sheet 4c. Although illustration is omitted, it is needless to say that the order of laminating the four bag-like bodies 2 may be reversed when a pillow having a hard contact with the head and good air permeability is desired. or,

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment. This second
In the embodiment, the number of stacked bags 2 is determined by the number of bags 2b, 2e, and 2c.
The pillow is lowered as three layers. The uppermost layer uses a bag 2b filled with the most common buckwheat hull 1b to make it easier to adjust to the head, and the middle layer uses a bag 2e to serve as a core. The lower layer uses a bag-like body 2c having hygroscopicity and absorbency. If the contact portion of the head is desired to be slightly hard, use this embodiment upside down, replace the bag 2c with the bag 2b, or replace the bag 2b. Bag 2 used in the first embodiment
It can be replaced with d. The fixing means 4 of the second embodiment has a structure in which two bands 4d are used, and hooks 4b are provided on the band 4d and each bag-like body 2 to connect them.

In each of the first and second embodiments,
A large number of sheet fasteners 4a and hooks 4d are additionally attached to the surface of the sheet 4c, the band 4d, and the bag-like body 2 so that the number of layers of the bag-like body 2 can be freely set, and the height of the pillow is The hardness can be arbitrarily and easily adjusted. FIG. 1 shows this structure as a planar fastener 4a to which nothing is connected.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the fixing means 4 is a decorative bag 4f that can be a pillow cover, and a linear fastener 4e attached around the side of the decorative bag 4f is provided to simplify the bag 2. It is a structure that can be put in and out of the vehicle. Although not shown in the figure, the linear fasteners 4 on the side surfaces of the decorative bag 4f are provided for the purpose of responding to the change in the number of stacked bags 2 to be stored.
The pillow can be used in a comfortable state by providing a plurality of e and selecting a linear fastener to be combined according to the number of the bag-like bodies 2 to be incorporated.

As another example of use, a pillow in which the plurality of bag-like bodies 2 to be used are of the same kind and are fixed by fixing means 4 and the filling 1 is the same material and only the height is adjusted It can also be. In addition, the independent bag-like body 2 can be used as it is as a mat for cushions (not shown) by setting it to an appropriate size.

In each of the above embodiments, various fillers 1 and fixing means 4 are used in combination with each other. The specific forms of these fillers 1 and fixing means 4 will be described in the description of the embodiments. It is not limited to what was described in. For example, there is a material that can be used as a pillow in addition to a commonly used material for the filler 1, and the fixing means 4 may be any existing fixing means as long as it has a desired function.
