Description

Pillow {Pillow}

The present invention relates to a pillow which can comfortably support a user's cervical spine and occiput and can adjust the height according to a variety of hair shape, size, and taste of a user, thereby providing comfort for use and good neck health.

A pillow is usually a tool to rest on the head when resting or sleeping. Such a pillow is made of a material such as latex, which is fluffy, excellent in flexibility and excellent in restoring force.

Conventional latex pillows have a problem in that they are flexible and are pulled up to the side of the part supporting the cervical vertebrae according to the weight or posture of the head at the part supporting the cervical vertebrae of the user, thereby causing discomfort.

In addition, when adjusting the height of a conventional latex pillow, it is common to simply insert the height adjusting member into the pillow. Such a height-adjusting pillow is disadvantageous in that a comfortable pillow is deformed when an ergonomically designed pillow is simply adjusted by a height adjusting member, and a user who is sensitive to a neck disk patient feels uncomfortable.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the specification.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are perspective views for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 2, showing a pillow.

The pillow of the embodiment of the present invention includes the cervical vertebrae 1, the occipital bone support 3, and the side extension 5. The pillow of the embodiment of the present invention may be a synthetic resin material such as natural or synthetic latex material or memory foam.

The cervical spine portion 1 is a portion for supporting the cervical vertebra portion of the user when the user laid down the pillow. The cervical vertebra 1 has a rounded shape with the middle portion thereof being convex upward, and the height of the side portions of the cervical vertebra 1 can be higher than the height of the middle portion.

The hindlim bone receiving portion 3 is a portion extending in the y direction (refer to Fig. 1) in the cervical vertebra 1 and supporting the occipital bone of the user when the user lies down. That is, the posterior hook receiving portion 3 is a portion extending upward in the head from the cervical vertebra of the head when the user laid down the pillow. The hind-bone receiving portion 3 may have a lower center portion and a concave shape.

The side extension 5 is a portion that extends to both sides of the cervical vertebra 1 and the occipital bone support 3 (indicated by section A in FIG. 5). The side extension 5 may be higher in height than the cervical vertebra 1 and the occipital bone support 3.

A retraction preventing groove portion 7 is disposed between both side portions of the cervical spine receiving portion 1 and the side extending portion 5. The pull-out preventing groove 7 may have a semicircular cross-section and may have a groove-like shape, and may be a groove long in the y-direction (refer to FIG. 1). It is preferable that the pull-out preventing groove portion 7 is provided at a boundary between both side surfaces of the cervical vertebra 1 and the side extending portion 5 and is arranged in a direction parallel to the cervical vertebra of the user.

The cervical vertebrae 1 are pushed by the user when the pillow is laid on the cervical vertebra 1 while the lateral extension 5 is bounded by the side extension 5, Can be prevented from being pulled out.

An elongated pulling preventing groove 7a extending from the cervical vertebra 1 and the back bone receiving portion 3 may be provided in a part of the region (indicated by a region B in Fig. 1) . The elongated pulling preventing groove portion 7a may extend in the pulling preventing groove portion 7 and extend in the x direction or the -x direction (refer to FIG. 1). The elongated pulling preventing groove 7a may extend in a direction perpendicular to the pull preventing slit 7, but may extend at a predetermined angle.

The extension retention preventing groove 7a is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but may be provided along the boundary between the cervical vertebra 1 and the back bone receiving portion 3. [

On the other hand, on the lower side of the cervical vertebra 1 and the back bone receiving portion 3, a height adjusting groove 9 used for adjusting the height of the pillow may be provided.

The height adjusting groove 9 may have a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Preferably, the height adjustment groove 9 is formed in the back of the pillow (in the -y direction in Fig. 2) and is provided inside the pillow.

A shape retaining portion 9b (see Fig. 3) having a horizontal line and an angle a is provided at the opposite end of the opening 9a of the height adjusting groove 9. The shape retaining portion 9b preferably has an inclined surface whose wall surface on the opposite side of the opening 9a is inclined at a predetermined angle to the opening 9a side with respect to a vertical line.

The shape retaining portion 9b of the height adjusting groove 9 serves to minimize deformation of the cervical vertebra 1. That is, the shape-retaining portion 9b of the height-adjusting groove 9 reduces the deformation of the ergonomically designed cervical vertebrae 1 regardless of whether the height-adjusting pad 11 is inserted into the height-adjusting groove 9, Of comfort.

The height adjusting pad 11 may include a first pad 13 and a second pad 15 which are disposed to overlap with each other, as shown in FIG. The first pad 13 may be provided with a receiving groove 13a through which the second pad 15 is inserted.

A part of the receiving groove 13a provided in the first pad 13 may be inserted with reference to the height of the second pad 15. [ That is, even if the second pad 15 is inserted into the receiving groove 13a of the first pad 13, the height of the second pad 15 may be arranged to protrude in the z direction.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows.

First, the user lies on the cervical vertebrae 1 with the cervical vertebrae part and the hindgrain bracing part 3 with the occipital bone in place. At this time, the cervical vertebra 1 is pressed by the cervical vertebra of the user (indicated by an arrow in Fig. 5). However, by the buffering action of the pull-out preventing groove 7, the side extending portion 5 can be retained in shape without being bonded or bent by the cervical vertebrae 1. This action prevents the side extension 5 from pressing the cervical portion of the user with minimal deformation of the pillow (see FIG. 5).

Likewise, a portion of the side extending portion 5 and a portion of the occipital bone receiving portion 3 can be minimized by being absorbed into the cervical vertebra 1 side by the buffering action of the extension pulling preventing groove 7a. Thus, the user can relax while maintaining comfort by minimizing the deformation of the ergonomically designed pillow.

The user can adjust the height of the pillow according to the shape, size or taste of his / her head. That is, when the pillow is used in a low level, the height adjusting pad 11 may be removed from the height adjusting groove 9 and used. At this time, the shape retaining portion 9b provided in the height adjusting groove portion 9 supports the cervical vertebra 1, so that the deformation of the cervical vertebra 1 can be minimized.

When the user wishes to use the pillow a little higher, the height adjusting pad 11 is inserted into the height adjusting groove 9. At this time, the height adjusting pad 11 can be used by overlapping the first pad 13 and the second pad 15. [ It is also possible to use several sets of the height adjusting pads 11 in some cases. In this case, the shape retaining portion 9b still retains the cervical vertebra 1, so that the deformation of the cervical vertebra 1 can be minimized (see FIG. 6). Therefore, the user can comfortably use the pillow according to the shape of his head. This embodiment of the present invention minimizes the deformation of the cervical spine 1, thus providing more comfort to patients who are sensitive to the height and shape of the pillow, such as neck disk patients.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, And it goes without saying that the invention belongs to the scope of the invention.
