Description

Functional pillow for infants

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a functional pillow for use in sleeping infants and children, and more particularly, to a functional pillow for infants and toddlers capable of protecting the cervical vertebrae while applying minimal pressure to the back of the infant.

Recently, there are increasing numbers of protesters who are laying down and resting children in order to prevent monodontia and asymmetrically developing dwarfism, where the back of the infant is flattened. By lying down, it is intention to calibrate the head of infant and child because pressure is not applied to the occiput. However, recent statistical studies have shown that lying down and putting up infants is an important risk factor for sudden death. Among 1,305 infant deaths in 2013, 328 infants died due to dyspnea, infantile sudden death syndrome, and unintentional breathing problems, accounting for 25.13% of infants. For this reason, healthy infants who do not have any specific illness are advised to put them in a lying position or lying down.

However, if infants who have not completed osteogenesis undergo immediate posture or lying posture for a long time, deformity of the occipital bone may occur, and there is a risk of complications and high cost when performing surgical treatment for this. Therefore, it is best to prevent symptoms by using tools rather than surgical treatment.

Korean Patent No. 10-1040616 has a laminated body or a separate auxiliary pillow on the pillow body to prevent infantile dwarfism or dwarfism. In the case of the above-described patent, since the seating portion is formed in accordance with the shape of the head of infants and young children, the pressure applied to the occipital region is minimized and a hole is formed in the occipital region to prevent skin disease.

However, as a pillow used by infants and children with a rapid growth rate, it has a short life span that can be used with an optimized structure. In other words, as the height of the back and cervical spine should be changed according to the growth, it is necessary to maintain the sleeping posture with minimum pressure while maintaining the stable posture.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1040616 (" Functional pillow for preventing deformation of the head posture of infants and young children ")

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent deformation of the occipital area of infants sleeping in a proper posture and to optimize the occipital area and cervical vertebrae according to the number of months of growth, The present invention provides a functional pillow for infants and children, which can prevent skin diseases occurring in children.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plasma display panel including a flat bottom plate and a plurality of protrusions protruding from the bottom plate, wherein the plurality of protrusions are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, And the height of the plurality of protrusions is different for each of the regions.

Wherein a plurality of regions having different heights of the plurality of projections have a first region where a height of the plurality of projections is the lowest and a center of the pillow is formed, a height of the plurality of projections is higher than that of the first region, A third region formed in a line on one side of the outer periphery of the second region, the height of the plurality of projections being higher than the height of the third region A fourth region formed in a line on an outer circumferential portion of the second region and perpendicular to the third region, a height of the plurality of protrusions being higher than that of the fourth region and being formed in a line in an outer peripheral portion of the second region, And a fifth region perpendicular to the first region.

Wherein the height of the protrusion of the first area is in a range of 27 mm to 31 mm, the height of the protrusion of the second area is in a range of 35 mm to 39 mm, the height of the protrusion of the third area is in a range of 36 mm to 40 mm, The height of the protrusions in the fourth region is formed to be 44 mm to 48 mm, and the height of the protrusions in the fifth region is formed to be 52 mm to 56 mm.

Wherein the plurality of projections are formed such that the area of the bottom surface formed on the bottom plate is larger than the area of the top surface.

Wherein the plurality of projections are formed as columns each having a curved shape at the edges of the upper surface and the side surface, thereby maximizing the contact area.

Wherein an area of the upper surface of the projection of the first region is smaller than an area of the upper surface of the projection of the second region and an area of the upper surface of the projection of the second region is smaller than an area of the upper surface of the projection of the third region The area of the upper surface of the projection in the third region is smaller than the area of the upper surface of the projection in the fourth region, and the area of the upper surface of the projection in the fourth region is smaller than the area of the fifth region Is formed to be smaller than the area of the upper surface of the projection.

Wherein a cross-sectional area of the flow path of the fifth region is formed to be smaller than a cross-sectional area of the flow path of the fourth region, Sectional area of the flow path of the third region is formed to be smaller than the sectional area of the flow path of the third region and the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the third region is formed to be smaller than the cross- Sectional area of the flow path of the first region is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the flow path of the first region.

The base plate and the plurality of protrusions are formed of TPU or natural rubber material.

The base plate further includes an injection port through which the fluid formed inside the protrusion enters and exits from the outside.

The present invention makes it possible to use the optimized functional pillow according to the number of months of infant infants by making a difference in the range of the height or the protrusion of the plurality of protrusions supporting the occiput and cervical part of infants. This is because the growth rate of infants is comparatively fast and the life expectancy of infants is short compared with that of infants.

In addition, by maximizing the ventilation of the back of the infant, which takes sleep, it is possible to minimize the risk of skin diseases that may have been caused by using a conventional pillow.

Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, It should be understood that variations can be made.

Hereinafter, the technical idea of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the technical concept of the present invention, are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

≪ Example 1 >

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an illustration of a functional pillow for infants and children in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. As shown in the figure, a plurality of protrusions 200 are formed on the bottom plate 100. The plurality of protrusions 200 provide a comfortable state for infants and children by supporting the back of the infant when the infant sleeps in a lying posture so as to be separated from the ground.

The plurality of protrusions 200 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, thereby maximizing a region for supporting the back of the infant and forming a passage through which air can flow between the plurality of protrusions 200. This can minimize the risk of skin disease that could have been caused by using a conventional pillow by providing a ventilating configuration in the back of the infant who takes sleep.

In addition, the inside of the plurality of protrusions 200 has a constitution in which the volume can be varied with respect to the pressure by injecting a fluid free from volume deformation. In the fluid injection, a separate injection port may be provided in the bottom plate 100 to control the amount of fluid formed in the protrusions 200. The injection port may protrude outward when the fluid needs to be inserted or removed, and may be recessed into the bottom plate 100 when the fluid entering and exiting process is completed. As the volume of the protrusions 200 varies according to the pressure and the volume of the protrusions 200 varies due to the load of the back of the infants, It minimizes the pressure exerted on the occiput rather than the volume of unchanged solids, thus allowing for a comfortable sleep. For this purpose, it is preferable to select a material forming the bottom plate 100 and the protrusion 200 and a material capable of withstanding the volume change of the internal fluid such as TPU or natural rubber.

At this time, the plurality of protrusions 200 may be formed in a plurality of regions, and the protrusions 200 may have different heights in each of the regions. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the area is formed by dividing it, and it can be used variously according to the head size of infants.

2 is a plan view showing areas of a functional pillow for infants and children according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the region in which the plurality of protrusions 200 are densely formed is divided into a total of five regions. A region formed on the outer circumferential portion of the first region 210 is referred to as a second region 220 and a region formed on an outer circumferential portion of the first region 210 is referred to as a right region of the second region 220, A region formed on the upper side of the second region 220 is referred to as a fourth region 240 and a region formed on the left side of the second region 220 Is designated as the fifth area 250.

At this time, the reason why the plurality of regions are arbitrarily set is that the height of the plurality of projections 200 constituting each of the regions is different.

The first region 210 may be formed of the plurality of protrusions 200 having the lowest height among the plurality of regions because the first region 210 directly supports the back of the infant and minimizes the pressure. Considering the average infant 's skull size, it can be formed with a height of 27 to 31 mm.

The regions other than the first region 210 may be configured to support the cervical vertebrae of infants and young children and may have a relatively higher height than the plurality of protrusions 200 constituting the first region 210 . The height of the plurality of protrusions 200 forming the second region 220 may be 35 to 39 mm, which generally supports the infant's head and cervical spine from 0 to 6 months, .

The height of the plurality of protrusions 200 constituting the third region 230 may be 36 to 40 mm, which generally supports the cervical vertebrae of infants 6 to 12 months old. Accordingly, when the present invention is used for infants 6 to 12 months old, the infant can be laid down so that the cervical vertebra can be supported in the area corresponding to the third area 230, The back part is supported by the area 220, so that it can take a sleep state in a correct posture.

The height of the plurality of protrusions 200 constituting the fourth region 240 may be 44 to 48 mm, which generally supports the infant's cervical vertebrae corresponding to 12 to 18 months. This allows the cervical vertebrae of 12-18 months to be supported by the fourth region 240, such that the third region 230 is laid down so that the third region 230 can support the cervical vertebrae, So that the plurality of regions support the occipital region.

The height of the plurality of protrusions 200 constituting the fifth region 250 may be 52 to 56 mm to support an infant's cervical vertebrae of 18 to 24 months. By using the present invention, an infant of 18 to 24 months can also simultaneously support the occipital region and the cervical vertebra by the same method as described above.

As described above, since the height of the plurality of protrusions 200 is different for each region, the optimized functional pillow can be used according to the number of months of infant growth. This is because the growth rate of infants is comparatively fast and the life expectancy of infants is short compared with that of infants.

3 is a bottom view of a functional pillow for infant and child in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, by forming a plurality of flow paths 110 through which fluids formed in the plurality of protrusions 200 can move, the size of the plurality of protrusions 200 can be varied according to the pressure .

When the pressure is applied to the plurality of protrusions 200, the fluid in the corresponding area is moved along the flow path 110, so that the pressure of the fluid can be reduced. And is transferred to the projection 200.

Since the flow path 110 is formed in the bottom plate 100 and is formed of the same material as the bottom plate 100, the cross-sectional area of the flow path 110 may vary depending on the amount of fluid passing through the flow path 110.

4 is a cross-sectional view of the projection 200 when receiving pressure for an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the size of the protrusion 200 may vary depending on the pressure.

In the bottom plate 100, the flow path 110 is formed in a space that is spaced apart from the plurality of protrusions 200, so that the size of the protrusions 200 varies according to the pressure. As shown in FIG. 4, when pressure is applied to the area corresponding to the back of the infant, the fluid constituting the protrusion 200 of the area moves along the flow path 110, And moves to the protrusion (200). As a result, the plurality of protrusions 200 directly supporting the occipital region minimize the pressure applied to the occipital region, and at the same time, the height of the other protrusions 200 filled with the fluid moved along the channel 110 increases, So that the side surface can be supported together.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating an example of using a functional pillow for infant and child in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exemplary view illustrating a case using a conventional pillow. 3 and 4, when the pressure due to the load of the occiput is pressed, the plurality of protrusions 200 are changed, and thereby the pressure applied to the back of the infant . 6, the plurality of protrusions 200 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, so that an area of direct contact with the back of the head can be smoothly ventilated. As shown in FIG.

In addition, since the plurality of protrusions 200 are formed of a fluid such as air, the volume change when pressure is applied becomes larger than that of a solid body constituting the interior of the conventional pillow. As a result, the height of the plurality of protrusions 200 supporting the back of the head becomes as low as possible, and the fluid as much as the lower one moves to the adjacent plurality of the protrusions 200, thereby supporting both sides of the back head. Accordingly, the depth l1 at which the back portion enters the pillow is greater than the depth l2 when the conventional functional pillow is used, which is smaller than the pressure applied to the occiput portion by the functional pillow for infants and children of the present invention over the conventional functional pillow Means that.

7 is a cross-sectional view of a protrusion and a hemispherical protrusion according to an embodiment of the present invention. The plurality of protrusions 200 are formed in a shape of a tapered quadrangular prism as shown in (a), which is capable of supporting efficiently, though it is not limited in that it is formed in any shape capable of supporting the back of the infant and the cervical vertebrae .

For example, when the hemispherical shape is formed as shown in (b), the area of the upper surface contacting the occiput is minimized compared to the area of the bottom surface formed on the bottom plate 100, The amount becomes smaller. As the amount of the fluid is reduced, the force to withstand the load of the occipital region becomes smaller. In case of the infant having a relatively high load of the occipital region, the occipital region may come into contact with the bottom plate 100.

since the area of the bottom surface formed on the bottom plate 100 is wider than the area of the top surface contacting the occipital region, more fluid is supplied to the lower portion of the protrusion 200 The larynx and cervical vertebrae can be stably supported as they are injected. In addition, since more fluid can be stored than hemispherical protrusions having the same area as the bottom surface, it is possible to prevent the occipital region from touching the bottom plate 100.

≪ Example 2 >

8 is a plan view of a functional pillow for infant and child in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the sizes of the protrusions 200 are different for each of the plurality of regions, and the sizes of the protrusions 200 are optimized for the sizes of the heads of infants, And the like. In other words, the upper surface area of the protrusion 200 contacting the bottom surface of the protrusion 200 contacting the bottom plate 100 and the rear surface of the infant can be varied in each zone, The amount of fluid to be dispensed can be different. In this case, the protrusion of the first region 210 supporting the occipital lobe, which induces monochromatosis or dahlia, may be made smaller to further reduce the pressure applied to the occiput.

In addition, the size of the projection 200 in the region supporting the cervical vertebrae differs in each region, so that the difference in the size of the projection 200 in the area supporting the cervical vertebrae The difference in pressure can be clearly differentiated so that the optimized design can support the occipital and cervical spine of infants and toddlers.

≪ Example 3 >

9 is a cross-sectional view showing the flow path 110 of the functional pillow for infants and children according to another embodiment of the present invention. (a) is a sectional view of a region supporting the occipital region, and (b) is a sectional view of a region supporting the cervical region. As described above, the amount of the fluid to be moved can be controlled by varying not only the size of the protrusion 200 but also the cross-sectional area of the flow path 110, which is a passage through which the plurality of protrusions 200 are connected to each other, . This is because the range in which the size of the protuberance 200 of the area supported by the occipital region to be subjected to the lowest pressure is variable is larger than that of the protuberance 200 in the other plural regions supporting the cervical vertebra, Can be lowered more effectively.

For example, the cross-sectional area of the flow path 110 formed in the first region 210 shown in FIG. 2A may be larger than the cross-sectional area of the flow path 110 of another region, The range in which the plurality of protrusions 200 can be varied becomes larger, so that the pressure applied to the occipital region can be minimized. Conversely, a plurality of different regions supporting the cervical vertebra shown in (b) differ in the cross-sectional area of the channel 110 as in the case where the height of the protrusion 200 is different in the above-described embodiment, It is possible to design the protrusion 200 so that it can be used in accordance with the number of months of growth.

As in the above-described other embodiments, the sizes of the protrusions 200, which can be varied in each region, are different by sequentially forming the cross-sectional area sizes of the flow paths 110 formed in the respective regions, And can be used for a long time by varying the direction of the sleep of infants and young children.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
