According to the pillow having an automatic height adjustment function using magnets suggested in the present invention, the comfortable position without imposing a strain on the neck or waist of a user can be maintained according to the lying down position of the user; and the height adjustment can be rapidly performed corresponding to the repetitive posture change between the postures of lying down straight and lying down sideways while the user is asleep.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a pillow having an automatic height adjusting function using a magnet,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pillow having an automatic height adjusting function using a magnet, and more particularly, to a pillow having an automatic height adjusting function using a magnet that can be automatically adjusted in height according to a user's lying position will be.

Generally, a pillow is a type of bedding that helps the bed to get comfortable sleeping by supporting the neck comfortably at bedtime. In other words, the pillow is a bedding for the head when sleeping or lying down for a rest, and the user can sleep or relax in a more comfortable posture by lifting the pillow. At this time, the user is not lying in a state in which only the same posture is continuously maintained, but is laid down while changing the postures from time to time. The height of the pillow should be properly adjusted according to the lying posture in order to maintain comfort without giving a load to the neck or waist according to such posture change.

For example, if you are lying down (side-to-side) in a straight-lying state (supine), the height of your shoulder should be higher than the level of the pillow (supine) . However, since the conventional pillow always supports the user's head at the same height in various postures such as the upright position (supine position) and the lateral position (lateral position), there is a limitation that the user can not always provide comfort. Accordingly, development of a pillow which is automatically adjusted in height according to a user's lying position is of interest. As a result, a sensor attached to the outer surface of the pillow senses the height of the user's head, A pillow device for adjusting the height by introducing air into or exhausting air into the pillow is disclosed as a prior art document (Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2003-0003592). However, in the case of such a prior art document, there is a limit to the fact that a pillow is manufactured and sold on the market because of a high cost of manufacturing a pillow due to a complicated configuration of an air pump or a sensor, and a configuration such as a pillow or an air pump is integrated It is inconvenient to store or carry. In addition, in order to supply power for driving the air pump, the power cord must be connected to an outlet provided in the room, which may limit the space available for the pillow. Accordingly, the present applicant has filed and filed a pneumatic pillow (Patent Registration No. 10-1173430) having an automatic height adjusting function.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the previously proposed methods. The present invention provides a pillow having a height adjusting portion, a magnet member, an elastic member and a cushion portion arranged in a pillow housing, The height of the upper plate supporting the head is automatically adjusted according to the user's lying position by the action of the magnetic force between the magnet of the magnet member and the magnetic plate (magnet or metal) and the elastic force of the elastic member of the elastic member Thereby making it possible to maintain a comfortable posture without imposing a load on the neck or waist according to the user's lying position and to adjust the height corresponding to the repeatedly changing position of the user lying down and lying down With automatic height adjustment function using magnets To provide a pillow for that purpose.

Further, unlike pillows or pneumatic pillows which require additional means such as an air pump for introducing or discharging the existing air, the present invention is characterized in that the action of the magnetic force of the magnet member, the height adjustment of the hinge plate of the height adjustment portion, It is possible to perform the operation quickly and easily in response to the change of the user's lying position, unlike the air pressure type in which air is introduced and discharged by the pressure difference which varies according to the user's lying position Another object of the present invention is to provide a pillow having an automatic height adjusting function using a magnet.
