For example, if the upper surface of the first cushion support 20A is provided with a means weight (or loop in the case of Velcro tape, for example), a female button (or hook) is provided on the lower surface thereof, and the second cushion support 20B In this case, one of the upper and lower surfaces is provided with a female button (or any one of a loop and a hook), and the other means is provided with a means button (or the other of the loop and a hook).

A state of use of the face cushion according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. 5 and 6, the present invention may support only the first cushion support 20A or the second cushion support 20B under the cushion 10, as described above, the first cushion support 20A. Since the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the second cushion support 20B are different from each other, the overall height is different depending on which cushion support is supported.

FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which the air injected into the second cushion support 20B is partially removed while the stacked first cushion support 20A and the second cushion support 20B are supported under the cushion 10. That is, the present invention can adjust the height by adjusting the amount of injected air, according to this, it is possible to adjust the height more fine, and not the second cushion support 20B, instead of the cushion 10 or the first cushion support ( It is also possible to adjust the height by adjusting the amount of air injected into 20A). Of course, this is also a matter applicable to a state in which only the first cushion support 20A or the second cushion support 20B is supported under the cushion 10 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

Meanwhile, FIG. 8, which has not been described above, is an exploded perspective view showing a modified example of the second and third detachment means. As shown in FIG. 8, the second and third detachment means are provided with straight grooves. It may be a desorption means composed of a pair of first assembly (C1) and a second assembly (C2) having a projection inserted into the groove of the first assembly (C1).

9 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the cushion and the cushion support. According to FIG. 9, in the cushion 10, the receiving portion 12 is not circular, but the groove 12-1 where the two eyes are located, the groove 12-2 where the nose is located, and the groove where the mouth is located ( 12-3). At this time, the receiving portion 12 is configured such that the groove 12-2 where the nose is located has a structure connected to each other with the groove 12-1 where the two eyes are located and the groove 12-3 where the mouth is located. . Of course, on the contrary, it may be configured not to be connected to each other. In this case, the air inflow passage 13 may include at least the groove 12-2 in which the nose is located or the groove 12-3 in which the mouth is located. It should be prepared to connect with

In addition, according to FIG. 9 as described above, the cushion support 20A, 20B, 20C may be provided with three or more, not two. In addition, at least one of the cushion supports 20A, 20B, and 20C may not have a structure of an air cushion. That is, it may be composed of an elastic material such as sponge, rubber, urethane resin. Of course, in the case of the cushion feet 20A, 20B, and 20C, it is not necessary to have elasticity, and thus may not be made of an elastic material. In the case of the cushion 10, it may be made of an elastic material similarly to the cushion support 20A, 20B and 20C.

On the other hand, although not specifically shown or described above in the drawings, the valve means 15, 25-1, 25-2 may be configured to blow air directly into the mouth, or portable air It may be configured to be able to inject using an injection device, preferably configured to allow air injection by the air injection device. This is because the air injector can be used to quickly inflate the air, and in the case of the motor-type air injector, it can also be used to extract air when operated in reverse.

In addition, the present invention may be configured to be able to change the inclined angle of the cushion 10 according to the user's body shape. This is possible, for example, by having the upper side separately provided with a constant angle inclined cushioning.

In addition, although the present invention is a face cushion, it may be used as a substitute for the back cushion, or as a pillow substitute by removing the injected air and flattening it.

The present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and drawings disclosed in this specification, and those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention (a person having ordinary knowledge in the art to which the present invention belongs). Can be variously modified.

For example, in the above description, the receiving portion 12 of the cushion 10 has been described as being formed in a groove shape, but may be configured as a hole rather than a groove. In this case, of course, the cushion 10 is composed of an upper outer shell and a lower outer shell, a circumferential outer shell, and a columnar auxiliary outer shell that connects the upper outer shell and the lower outer shell. For reference, the air inflow passage 13 at this time is provided in the form of connecting the secondary outer shell and the peripheral shell of the columnar.

As described above, the present invention comprises a cushion and a plurality of cushion supports supported under the cushion, and the cushion supports are provided to be stacked on each other, so that the height of the cushion supports can be changed by supporting one or more of them under the cushion. There is an advantage that it can.

In addition, the present invention has the advantage that the height can be more finely adjusted by the number and thickness of the cushion support under the cushion because the thickness of the cushion support is different from each other. Furthermore, since the cushion is an air cushion or at least one of the cushion supports has an air cushion structure, the height can be adjusted more precisely by the amount of air injected, while the volume is reduced when the air is removed, so it is easily stored or carried. can do.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the upper surface of the cushion is inclined to one side, the waist angle to be leaned down can be reduced by using the face so that the mouth side and the eye side are located on the lower side. This has the advantage of reducing the weight of the hair.
