The infant pillow comprises a polygonal body, (11, 12, 13...) Having different heights at respective circumferential portions around the center portion (20).

This will be described in detail.

First, the main body 10 is composed of a cover made of a fabric and a filler embedded therein, and a seat 20 is provided at the center of the main body so that the head of the infant is seated and the projecting portion of the back of the head is naturally wrapped.

The seating part 20 may be a groove formed in the center of the body 10 or a hole formed in the center of the body so as to pass through the body. At this time, although the seating part 20 may be formed in the center of the main body, it is preferable that the seating part 20 is formed closer to the side of the supporting part having a lower height (thickness) Do.

Since the cover is directly touched to the skin of the infant, it is made of a cloth fabric such as a soft touch, a good sweat absorbing ability and a good breathability, and a fastening means such as a zipper or an adhesive tape such as a Velcro . At this time, it is preferable that the fastening means is mounted near the edge of the support so as not to directly contact the head or neck of the infant.

Fillers are materials that have a cushioning feel when applied to the infant's head and are lightweight and of adequate strength. In the present invention, the support portion functions as a filler material, and each support portion indicates each circumferential portion, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 10 is most preferably formed in a substantially triangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The main body 10 may be formed in a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle, or may be formed in a circular shape .

The body 10 includes a support 11, 12, 13.. Formed around the center seat 20 to support the neck of the infant, the support being adapted to correspond to various head sizes of the infant The heights are formed to be different at regular intervals along the periphery of the main body, that is, at the periphery of the main body.

For example, when the main body 10 is formed in a substantially triangular shape as shown in FIG. 2, the supporting portions constituting the respective circumferential portions of the main body include a first supporting portion 11, a second supporting portion 12 and a third supporting portion 13 The first, second, and third support portions 11, 12, and 13 are formed to have different thicknesses. The first, second, and third support portions 11, 12, The thickness is gradually increased or thinned.

Accordingly, the first, second, and third support portions 11, 12, and 13 are sequentially selected according to the size of the head changed by the growth of the infant so as to support the head and the neck of the infant.

It is preferable that the supporting parts 11, 12, 13. Are integrally formed by using a foaming resin. That is, as in a known foaming process, a raw liquid such as natural rubber or polyurethane is put into a mold, Molded by foam molding with different thicknesses at regular intervals.

The supporting portions 11, 12, 13. May be integrally formed of one material or may be formed of the supporting portions, that is, the first, second and third supporting portions 11, 12, 13 Or may be configured to be inserted into the cover with different materials.

For example, the first support portion 11 may be made of a small size, such as a strawberry or a latex or a memory foam, which is suitable for use by a newborn baby, and is thin and made of a material having good restoring force and elasticity. 13 may be made thicker than the first support portion by using a material such as cotton or a sponge so that the head can be used by an infant growing to some extent.

Such a material is not particularly limited to those listed above, but may be suitably selected depending on the degree of growth of the infant and the size of the head. That is, the third support portion 13 may be made of a material such as latex or memory foam, like the first support portion 11, but may be thicker than the first support portion.

The above-mentioned materials constituting the supporting parts 11, 12, 13 .. may be dyed with yellow soil so as to suppress fungi and bacteria and increase hygroscopicity, or may be added with charcoal capable of releasing far infrared rays and negative ions, It is possible.

In addition, a partition wall (not shown) may be formed in the body 10 in a vertical direction so as to partition the support parts having different materials from each other, and an inner cover may be separately provided depending on the material of the support part.

Although not shown in the drawings, the present invention is also applicable to a case where the main body 10 is circular, and the fabric is trimmed at regular intervals along the circumference of a circular (donut) A partition wall may be formed between each support portion formed at regular intervals, and each support portion may be formed by filling and filling a required material.

In the case where the supporting portions 11, 12, 13. Are made of a material easily dispersible such as rice straw or cotton, the fabric is sewed so as to conform to the shape of the supporting portion to form a separate inner cover The material may be inserted into the cover in a sealed state.

The support portions 11, 12, 13 .. may be provided with protrusions 15 whose edge portions are more protruded than the center portion so as to more comfortably support the head and neck side portions of the infant, Even when it is turned back during sleep, the head and the neck are not easily turned around and are wrapped in a stable manner, thereby inducing comfortable sleeping.

3, the lower surfaces of the supports 11, 12, 13. Are curved, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the support is formed using a material such as a memory foam, And the lower surface may be formed flat horizontally.

The action and effect of the infant pillow of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described as follows.

First, the main body 10 of the infant pillow according to the present invention is formed into a substantially triangular shape by using foam-molded polyurethane foam.

The thickness of the supporting part constituting the main body 10 during the foaming process is set to be different from each other. The first supporting part 11 has a length of 28 cm at both ends and a thickness of 3 cm. The second supporting part 12 has left and right ends And the thickness of the third support portion 13 is set to 30 cm in length and 6 cm in thickness at both ends of the left and right ends and foam molding is performed. Needless to say, these dimensions can be adjusted within a certain range.

Then, after inserting the cover into the inside of the cover, the opening portion of the cover is fastened by fastening means such as a zipper (not shown).

Since the height of the first, second, and third support portions 11, 12, and 13 forming the periphery of the main body 10 are different from each other, the infant pillow manufactured as described above is naturally adjusted in height. It is possible to support the infant's head.

In other words, when the head of a baby is 33 to 41 cm in height within 3 months of birth, the head is supported by the first support part (11). If the head circumference is 1 to 10 months old and the head circumference is 36 to 48 cm, The head is supported by the supporting part 12, and when the head circumference is grown to 45 to 50 cm at the age of 5 to 18 months after birth, the head is supported by the third supporting part 13.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to attach a towel or the like on the pillow or a functional pillow provided with a separate height adjusting means, or to purchase a new pillow having a different height, The height adjustment is natural according to the size of the head according to the size of the head. Therefore, when the child is laid down, the head is not lifted unnaturally or broken, and the neck and back are leveled. So that comfortable sleeping becomes possible.
