Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to rugs such as pillows, seat cushions, cushions, and chair panels, and particularly relates to a rug structure that is effective when applied to pillows.

Pillows as bedding play an important role in restful sleep and recovery from fatigue. However, even if you use a traditional pillow,
It has been found that there is a problem in that it is not possible to maintain a restful sleep state and to sufficiently recover from fatigue.

As a result of intensive study of this problem, the inventors of the present invention found that conventional pillows do not fully exhibit their pillow functions for the reasons described below.

That is, conventional pillows are filled with natural materials such as buckwheat, azuki beans, beans, and rice husks, or artificial fillings such as cotton. A piece of cloth, a sponge.

Small pieces of synthetic resin are used.

Therefore, this type of filling does not deform freely due to the pressing force when the head is placed on the pillow, so it does not deform along the shape of the pressing body such as the shape of the head, and as a result, the pillow and head The contact area with the pressing body of the pillow is reduced, resulting in uncomfortable contact between the pillow and the head, and the way the head is placed in an unstable manner, which impairs restful sleep and does not contribute to recovery from fatigue. I found out.

In order to have a good night's sleep and a healthy sleeping state, it is necessary to sleep with a cold head and warm feet. However, from this point of view as well, conventional pillow fillings are heat-blocking and do not easily cool. Therefore, the pillow becomes heated due to the temperature and body temperature. This is due to the properties of the filling itself in conventional pillows, and because there are no gaps between the fillings, and the gaps form a complex labyrinth, it is difficult to improve breathability and the air inside the pillow. The fact that the ventilation is extremely low works synergistically with the structure of the pillow described above, making it a heat shield (hard to get cold).

Although conventional problems related to pillows have been specifically described, similar problems exist with rugs such as zafutons and cushions.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel rug that solves the problems of the conventional rugs such as pillows mentioned above, and which has excellent breathability and ventilation, and has a shape of the pressing body. The object of the present invention is to provide a new rug that can be freely deformed according to the distribution of pressing force.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention include:
This will become clear from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained in detail using Examples.

A front view of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and a side view thereof is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part of the cross section taken along the line ■-■ in FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the stuffing element of the pillow of this embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the pillow of the present invention is made by housing a large number of stuffing elements 2 in a cloth bag 3. The stuffing element 2 of the pillow has the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 1α and a length of 2a, the corners of which are chamfered to form a rounded shape, and is made of wood. Filling element 2 actively utilizes the various properties of wood, and in particular, it is warm but not easily cooled, is lightweight, emits a nice wood scent, and dries quickly. , it is difficult to absorb sweat from the human body and moisture from the outside air compared to the conventional pillow filling mentioned above, and it quickly evaporates absorbed moisture and maintains its original state. Pillow fillings are easy to prepare, and since the wood itself is small, it can be made from tree branches and small pieces, and the material cost is low, so it can be manufactured at low cost. It has excellent properties as an element.

Various types of wood can be used for the filling element 2, including Hinoki and Sugi.

It is a suitable material because it emits a pleasant aroma, is lightweight, and is easily molded.

The shape and size of the stuffing element 2 are determined based on the conditions under which it can fully perform its function as a pillow. A preferred filling element 2 is a cylinder having a diameter 1α and a length 2a with chamfered corners, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. As shown in Fig. 3, the air gap 4 between adjacent filling elements 2 is wide (as shown in Fig. 3), and the air in the air gap 4 can be easily released to the outside of the pillow and replaced with fresh air. Characteristic 1: It has excellent breathability.

Another embodiment of the filling element may be one in which the corners of a cylinder having a diameter of 1 o IR and a length of 2 aIn are slightly chamfered as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Also, Figure 8~
As shown in FIG. 9, it may be in the shape of an octagonal prism with a length of 1 m and a length of 2 m between opposite sides, with the corners chamfered.

Another embodiment of the filling element is one in which the corners are chamfered if necessary, and includes nine spheres, a missing sphere, and a nine-spherical band.

truncated cone, truncated rectangular pyramid, ellipsoid, donut-shaped torus,
It may have a polygonal shape such as a hexagonal shape. Various sizes can also be adopted.

The stuffing for the pillow may be one in which a large number of the same stuffing elements as described above are used, or a mixture of a large number of stuffing elements of various different shapes.

In order to improve air permeability, ventilation, quick drying properties, and weight reduction, the filling element can be hollow and can also be shaped like a pipe. This is applicable to all filling elements mentioned above.

The stuffing element can be manufactured by molding a log using a sawmill. Various manufacturing methods are used, such as first processing into a long bar like a pencil, then cutting it as a secondary processing, and chamfering the corners of the cut pieces to improve sliding properties between the filling elements. Filling elements can be manufactured.

As shown in FIG. 10, the pillow is used by placing the head 7 on the pillow 1 marked on the mattress, and also placing the nape of the neck 8 on the pillow. As a result, the pillow deforms along the shape of the head 7 and the nape of the neck 8, thereby maintaining an extremely stable shape. As shown in Figure 3, the stuffing elements overlap in various directions inside the cloth bag, and each stuffing element also forms a sufficient gap, so that it can be used for pressing objects such as the head and nape of the neck. Each filling element moves very easily due to the pressing force distribution, deforms along the shape of the pressing body, and maintains the deformed shape.

Even if you change the direction of your head, lie on your side, or turn over, the stuffing element will quickly deform according to the pressing force and shape of your head, that is, the pressing body, and will maintain a shape that matches the shape of the suppressing surface of the pressing body. This is the shape of the suppressed surface of the pillow. In conventional pillows, the shape of the pressed surface of the pillow did not match the shape of the pressing surface of the pressing body, so the function as a pillow was not sufficient. In particular, the pillow of the present invention has the above-mentioned effects, so it stably supports not only the head but also the nape of the neck.

Therefore, when using a conventional pillow, even if the pillow is placed up to the nape of the neck, the head comes into contact with the pillow in a way that protrudes more than the nape of the neck, so there is no space between the head and shoulders. Since there are no contact points, the head and shoulders form a bridge shape, which is a hindrance to restful sleep and recovery from fatigue. Unhealthy conditions due to such reasons are resolved by using the pillow of the present invention. Please note that the pillow of the present invention that exhibits such unique effects is a pillow that has extremely good characteristics.

The present invention maintains a stable placement of a pressing body, and is applicable not only to pillows but also to seat cushions and cushions.

Chairs 0 Seats, backrests, beds, etc. In other words, in a comprehensive expression, they are rugs, and even if rugs have the structure 9 functions and effects described in detail using the example of pillows mentioned above, each rug has its own special characteristics. Even if there is a usage mode, the types that should be provided are
It fully demonstrates each function.
