Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to a sleep pillow for promoting health, which is composed of a cervical vertebrae region receptor and an occipital region receptor, and is capable of stably supporting the cervical vertebrae region and the occipital region. .

Conventional technology Pillows that have been widely used for a long time include:
There were bags made of cloth or other material filled with buckwheat shells and the like to form a substantially cylindrical shape, and bags filled with feathers, pieces of urethane foam, etc. and formed into a substantially elliptical shape.

In addition, improvements have been made to pillows in recent years, and as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
What is shown in the figure is a device related to a pillow disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 50-31207. The inside of the body is divided into parallel bags, and the widths of the parallel bags are made different at both left and right ends, and the mixed ratio of the enclosed synthetic resin beads with different diameters is determined, and the contained small balls are determined based on the volume of the bags. The ratio of amounts is changed for each bag.

The pillow of this invention can be used as hard or soft as appropriate, and the small synthetic resin balls sealed inside give an appropriate pine surge effect to the head, and the gaps between the balls provide breathability, so that the head does not move during use. In addition to having the advantage that the pillow does not swell, it also has the advantage that the height of the pillow can be appropriately selected and the pillow and mat can be used as an integrated unit.

Furthermore, the one shown in Fig. 7 is a device for a cushion-cum-pillow disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-34419, which has two bags 1 and 2 of different sizes, and the bags 1 and 2 are sewn together or fastened together. connected to each other,
Filling materials 3 with different hardness in each bag 1 and 2,
4, which has the advantage that the height and firmness of the pillow can be selected as appropriate and can also be used as a cushion.

Problems that the invention aims to solve From an ergonomic standpoint, the correct sleeping position is said to be one where the upright body is tilted back 90 degrees and lies on the back, as shown in Figure 1. falls under this category.

In this state, only the buttocks and the back of the chest are in contact with the floor, the lumbar region is 2 to 3 cm, and the cervical vertebrae are 8 cm in contact with the floor.
The anterior and posterior parts of the head and the back of the head are separated from the floor by 5 cm, respectively.

In order to maintain this correct sleeping posture, it is necessary to support the head by filling a space of 5cm to 8cm, which is the height from the line connecting the tip of the buttocks and the back of the chest to the cervical vertebrae and the back of the head. There is a pillow that fulfills this role.

However, conventional general pillows do not give any basic consideration to this point, and as shown in Figure 2, they are overwhelmingly cylindrical, which mainly supports the back of the head. This results in a so-called slouched posture, where the body is pushed forward and upward.

For this reason, the entire weight of the head is not stably held by the pillow, and some of it is transferred to the neck and shoulders, which causes the muscles of the neck and shoulders to stiffen while sleeping, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. It was also a cause of distortion of the cervical vertebrae.

Moreover, it is also a cause of misalignment of the nape of the neck due to tossing and turning during sleep.

In particular, since the weight of the head accounts for approximately 8% of the total body weight, the burden placed on the neck and shoulders is large, and the above-mentioned adverse effects have been particularly severe.

In order to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional pillows that only support the back of the head, the two prior art proposals propose a pillow that can support both the back of the head and the neck at the same time.

However, in either case, they lack the basic idea of maximizing the function and role of the pillow to maintain a correct sleeping posture, which has been proven from the ergonomic point of view, and it is difficult to get a good night's sleep. It is impossible to gain health and improve health.

Specifically, first, in terms of material, the part that supports the neck needs to be made harder than the part that supports the back of the head, but no distinction is made in this regard.

Next, in terms of shape, the members that support the neck are
Although it is necessary to match the curved shape of the neck, they are simply formed into a cylindrical or elliptical shape without any consideration of this point.

Further, although the members supporting the neck and the members supporting the back of the head have different functions and roles, no consideration is given to this point.

For this reason, in order to maintain the correct sleeping posture from an ergonomic standpoint, the structure of the pillow is divided into a neck support member and a back head support member, and each member fulfills its role. There has been a strong desire to develop a sleep pillow that promotes health.

Summary of the invention The present invention was made in response to these demands, and consists of a pillow consisting of a cervical vertebrae receptor and an occipital receptor, and the cervical vertebrae receptor is adjusted to the lower surface shape and height position of the cervical vertebrae. The occipital receptor is formed by two elliptical members, and the height position of the lower surface of the occipital region is matched to prevent the occiput from sinking and provide stable support. The present invention provides a sleep pillow for promoting health.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention employs the following means to solve the above problems.

Filled with buckwheat hulls 2 that are soft to the touch, highly breathable, hygroscopic, and have appropriate elasticity, a cervical vertebrae receiver 1 is formed with a hard surface to the extent that it does not easily lose its shape, and a cervical vertebrae 3 is placed thereon, and The upper surface of the cervical vertebra receiver 1, whose one side portion 4 contacts the shoulder opening 5, is formed into a substantially oval shape so as to match the lower surface shape of the curved cervical vertebra 3, thereby maintaining a correct sleeping posture. In order to match the height of the lower surface of the cervical vertebrae 3 required for The occipital head support 6, which is filled with a palm lock 9 that is highly flexible, is formed by two oval shaped members 7 and 8, and the members 7 and 8 are connected to each other to provide the necessary support for maintaining a correct sleeping posture. The height of the center portions of the members 7 and 8 is approximately 5 cm so as to match the height position of the lower surface of the occipital region 10, and the center portion of the occipital region 10 is located at the connecting portion 11 of the members 7 and 8. The longitudinal length of the members 7 and 8 is formed to be approximately half the longitudinal length of the occipital region 10, and the occipital region receptor 6 is connected to the cervical vertebra region receptor 1, and the left and right sides of both are connected. The length is approximately 50 cm, slightly wider than the width of the shoulders, and the cervical vertebrae receiver 1 and the occipital receiver 6 are covered with a pillow case 12 that is slightly narrower than the front and rear lengths of both.

Function Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, in use, first, the neck of a human body, that is, the cervical vertebrae 3 is placed on the cervical vertebra receiver 1, and the two elliptical members 7 and 8 are placed on the cervical vertebra receiver 1.
This is carried out by placing the back of the human body's head 10 on the back of the head holder 6, which consists of a.

Since the cervical vertebra receiver 1 matches the lower surface shape and height position of the cervical vertebra 3, the cervical vertebra 3 is stably supported in a natural state.

Further, since the occipital head support 6 is matched with the height position of the lower surface of the occipital region 10, the occipital region 10 is stably supported in a natural state without being buried.

Embodiment In the embodiment shown in the figure, the cervical vertebra receiver 1, which is formed into an approximately oval shape, has good texture and breathability.
It is filled with buckwheat hulls 2 which are highly hygroscopic and have appropriate elasticity.

It is desirable to fill the buckwheat hulls 2 in a large amount until the container is full, so that the receiver 1 is formed to be hard enough not to easily lose its shape.

The receiver 1 rests the neck, that is, the cervical vertebrae 3 of the human body, and its length from front to back is approximately equal to the entire length of the cervical vertebrae 3 so that one side 4 of the receiver 1 comes into contact with the shoulder opening 5 of the human body. The upper surface shape of the receiver 1 is formed into a substantially elliptical shape so as to match the curved lower surface shape of the cervical vertebrae 3.

The height of the central portion of the receiver 1 is set to be approximately 8 cm, which is the height from the lower surface of the central portion of the cervical vertebrae 3 to the floor surface necessary for maintaining a correct sleeping posture.

The occipital receptor 6 has two oval members 7 and 8,
The members 7 and 8 are interconnected on one side, and are filled with palm locks 9 made of crude coconut fibers that are highly elastic, heat dissipating, breathable, hygroscopic, and durable. has been done.

The height of the central portions of the members 7 and 8 is set to be approximately 5 cm, which is the height from the lower surface of the center of the occiput 10 to the floor necessary to maintain a correct sleeping posture. part is the member 7, 8
Each of the members 7, 8 is positioned at the connecting portion 11 of
The front and back lengths of the occipital region 10 are approximately half of the front and rear lengths of the occipital region 10, respectively.

The occipital region receptor 6 is connected to one side of the cervical vertebra region receptor 1, and the left and right lengths of both are approximately 50 cm, which is slightly wider than the shoulder width of the human body. The receivers 1 and 6 are pillow cases 1 whose width is slightly narrower than the front and rear lengths of the receivers 1 and 6.
Covered with 2.

Effects of the invention Therefore, according to the invention, the pillow is constituted by a cervical vertebrae receptor and an occipital region receptor, and the cervical vertebrae receptor supports the neck of the human body, that is, the cervical vertebrae in a stable and natural state. Furthermore, the two elliptical members forming the occipital support can support the occipital region of the human body in a stable and natural state without being buried.

As a result, it is possible to maintain the correct sleeping posture, ensure ease of turning over in bed, prevent sleeping position, prevent stiffness of neck and shoulder muscles, correct distortion of cervical vertebrae, ensure heat dissipation and ventilation, and improve neck and shoulder opening. It can ensure heat retention, promote sound sleep, and effectively improve health.

In other words, since the height of the cervical vertebra receiver 1 is approximately 8 cm, the cervical vertebra 3 can maintain an appropriate height for a correct sleeping posture, which has been proven from an ergonomic standpoint. be.

In addition, since the upper surface shape of the receiver 1 is substantially oval to match the shape of the cervical vertebrae 3,
The cervical vertebrae 3 is stably supported by the receiver 1 in an extremely natural state without feeling any discomfort at all.

As a result, not only can stiffness of the muscles of the neck and shoulders be naturally prevented, but also the acupressure effect can relieve the nerves in the cervical vertebrae and improve blood circulation, thereby relieving fatigue. Since it can correct the distortion of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, throat, etc., it can promote the secretion of hormones necessary for the activities of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, throat, etc.

In addition, since the cervical vertebrae receiver 1 is filled with a large amount of hard buckwheat hulls, there is no risk of it losing its shape even after long-term use, and the cervical vertebrae 3 has a good texture and has appropriate elasticity. Because it has both flexibility and moderate flexibility, it is not only comfortable to sleep on, but also conforms well to the cervical vertebrae 3 of the user.
It can promote sound sleep.

In addition, in the receiver 1, the weight of the head is 70 to 80
Although it is necessary to support around %,
Since the receiver 1 conforms to the shape of the cervical vertebrae 3 and has a structure that supports the entire cervical vertebrae 3, it can support the weight of the head in an extremely stable and effective manner. .

Further, since one side 4 of the receiver 1 is configured to abut against the shoulder opening 5, the heat retention of the neck and shoulders is extremely effectively promoted, and a sound sleep state is maintained. In addition, it can increase the heat retention in the bed and prevent colds, muscle pain, etc.

Next, since the height of the oval members 7 and 8 constituting the occipital receiver 6 that supports the occipital region 10 is approximately 5 cm, the occipital region 10 can be placed in a correct sleeping position that has been proven from an ergonomic point of view. It is possible to maintain a certain height.

In addition, the occipital region receptor 6 has two oval members 7 and 8.
Since the center part of the occiput 10 is located at the connecting part 11 of the members 7 and 8, the occiput 10 is supported on the upper surface of the members 7 and 8, and , it won't be buried in 8.

Moreover, since the contact area between the two is extremely small,
The heat dissipation and ventilation of the back of the head 10 are made good, which can effectively prevent the so-called "cold head and warm feet," and promote the energy metabolism function of the head, allowing you to sleep soundly and improve your health. In particular, the members 7 and 8 are filled with palm lock, which is a natural fiber, so they not only elastically support the back of the head, but also have excellent heat dissipation, breathability, and moisture absorption. In addition, since it is highly durable, it will not lose its shape even after long-term use, so there is no risk that the contact area between the back of the head and the member will increase.

In addition, the left and right width of the cervical vertebrae receptor 1 and the occipital receptor 6 is approximately 50 cm, which is slightly wider than the shoulder width of the human body, which not only ensures heat retention for the neck and shoulders, but also protects the head even when turning over in bed. There is no risk of it falling off the pillow, and there is no possibility of sleeping on the wrong side.

In particular, since the cervical vertebrae receiver 1 is taller than the occipital receiver 6, has a larger diameter, and is formed into a hard shape, the cervical vertebrae 3 is held stably and firmly by the receiver 1. Even when the user violently turns over, there is no risk that the cervical vertebrae 3 will come off the receiver 1, and the user will not be able to sleep incorrectly.

Furthermore, since the cervical vertebrae receiver 1 and the occipital receiver 6 are covered with a pillow case 12 that is slightly narrower than the anteroposterior width of both, the receivers 1 and 6 are compressed in the anteroposterior direction, and the hardness of both is Furthermore, it is reinforced and prevents its shape from deforming, and the above-mentioned effects that must be achieved as a pillow can be more effectively exerted.

Furthermore, since the cervical vertebrae receiver 1 and the occipital receiver 6 that make up the pillow are both formed in an oval shape, the pillow adheres to the floor extremely stably and moves as the user turns over during sleep. Never.
