Description

Functional pillow for induction of deep sleep}

The present invention relates to a pillow used in the case of sleeping or lying down, and more particularly, a pocket receiving portion is formed on one side of the center of the pillow, and the pocket receiving portion is a headrest made of a three-dimensional memory foam, etc. By inserting and forming, the shape is deformed according to the user's head by the head restraint so that stable support is achieved, and light pressure support is made on the side of the head and the crown of the other pillow parts, thereby inducing a certain sleeping posture. Of course, it is about a functional pillow that covers the entire head of the user so that a comfortable and deep sleep can be achieved.

In general, a pillow is for stably supporting a person's head when a person wants to lie down and take a rest or sleep, and it is usually made in a soft, elastic shape.

Such pillows are generally made by filling the inside of a pocket (inner skin) in a rectangular shape on a plane with cotton, synthetic or natural fillings, etc., and a separate cover is put on the outside of the pillow's inner skin to create a decorative effect. It is being made to produce various cushioning feelings by variously changing and controlling the type and amount of the internal filler.

In particular, in recent years, various types of pillows such as height-adjustable pillows using air pressure control, functional pillows in a three-dimensional shape matching the shape of the head of the human body, pillows made using latex or memory foam, etc. There are a myriad of pillows in materials, structures and shapes on the market.

In the case of such a conventional pillow, as in the registered utility model No. 20-0471129, the first receiving part is provided on the surface of the outer shell, and the second receiving part is provided inside the outer shell, and the first acupressure grains put in the first receiving part And by the second acupressure grains of the stuffing material put in the second receiving part, not only can the user get acupressure effect on the user's head while sleeping or taking a rest with a pillow, but also acupressure effect suitable for the user according to the user. You can take a good night's sleep or rest while getting, and because the outer skin can be washed, you can always use it in a clean and clean state, and because the exposure of the first receiving part is prevented by the cover, you can create a beautiful and simple appearance. Health pillows that do not need to be added have been devised and registered.

Then, as in the Registered Utility Model No. 20-0471847, it is possible to maintain an optimal sleeping posture by considering the physical condition of a person's body type without using an adjustment strap, and to protect the cervical spine during sleep. Functional pillows have been devised and registered.

In addition, as in the registered utility model No. 20-04772020, the fabric is sewn to fill the material, and the inside of the pillow shell having a cavity that penetrates up and down; A sealing cover sewn along the circumference of the cavity to seal the upper and lower portions of the cavity; An opening/closing member provided to open and close any side of the sealing cover; A health pillow, characterized in that it is constructed and registered, includes a packing bag charged into the cavity and filled with a packing material for emitting a scent beneficial to health.

In addition, as in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0001158, a first support part and a second support part for supporting the cervical spine of the sleeping person are provided, but the heights of the first support part and the second support part are different, so that the By making the 1 support part and the second support part selectively available, not only can the sleeper's convenience be provided, but also the natural C-shaped curve of the sleeper's cervical spine through the structure of the first support part and the second support part forming a smooth surface In addition to maintaining the health of the sleeper's cervical vertebrae, as well as preventing shoulder pressure during posture changes during sleep, the neck and cervical vertebrae are kept parallel to the ground, thereby preventing spinal changes during sleep. There is.

However, the existing various functional pillows are not effective in inducing a good night's sleep because the internal filling material is simply changed or the shape is transformed, and the improved and released pillows consist of an excessively complex configuration, which is not suitable for manufacturing and mass production. It has a problem.

In particular, the load acting on the pillow through the head of a person is that the load is concentrated in the back of the head and the load is relatively small in the side of the head. In the case of a pillow with an excessive cushioning feeling, the pillow is excessively pressed. In addition, in the case of preventing excessive compression by controlling the cushioning feeling, it has a nuisance that cannot satisfy the cushioning feeling and supportive power at the same time, such as feeling a foreign body or pain in the back of the head.

In addition, since most of the load acting through the head is transmitted through the back of the head, the head turns or tilts in the process of sleeping using a pillow, which interferes with sound sleep. There is an urgent need to develop a pillow that can provide a stable support.

As shown in the figure, the pillow 10 according to the present invention can be filled with various types of fillers 20 in the inner space 11, and as the preferred filler 20, EPS foam particles in the form of small particles are suitable. In the case of EPS foam particles, the shape of the pillow 10 is naturally transformed according to the shape of the user's head and pressure or load as it is made of very small particles, and each particle itself has excellent elasticity, providing cozy and comfortable. It is widely used in

In the center of the pillow 10, an insertion pocket portion 12 is formed which is biased toward one side of the pillow 10 in a plane, and the insertion pocket portion 12 is an internal space of the pillow 10 ( Since it is partitioned from 11), the filler 20 in the inner space 11 cannot flow into the interior of the insertion pocket 12.

Such insertion pocket portion 12 may be formed through a division by a sewing line by directly sewing the fabric constituting the pillow 10, and a separate additional fabric is added to the inner space 11 of the pillow 10 It may be formed through sewing or bonding.

Accordingly, as the insertion pocket portion 12 is divided into one side of the central portion of the pillow 10 as described above, the pillow 10 excluding the insertion pocket portion 12 has a “C” shape on a plane.

In addition, the fastener 30 is coupled to the outer end of the insertion pocket 12 as described above, so that the inside of the insertion pocket 12 can be opened and closed by the fastener 30, the fastener ( 30) is a zipper or velcro tape, or a button or clip, etc., which can be applied in various forms, and a separate headrest 40 is inserted into the open insertion pocket 12, and the same head In a state in which the support unit 40 is inserted, the open insertion pocket portion 12 is closed using the fastener 30 to prevent the headrest unit 40 from being exposed to the outside.

In particular, in the case of the insertion pocket portion 12, the upper portion is formed lower than the upper portion of the pillow 10, and the lower portion of the insertion pocket portion 12 is formed to be higher than the lower portion of the pillow 10, as described above. When the headrest 40 is inserted into the insertion pocket 12, the headrest 40 has a shape that is lifted at a certain height from the bottom surface, and the upper surface of the headrest 40 is also a pillow ( It is formed at a lower position than the upper surface of 10).

Therefore, when the user's head load is applied to the headrest device 40, the headrest device 40 naturally descends to the bottom surface, and the remaining "c" shape by the lowering of the headrest device 40 The pillow 10 made of a “c”-shaped pillow 10, while exhibiting an action of a rising shape, exerts light pressure on both sides of the user's head and the crown.

At this time, the headrest device 40 as described above is designed to correspond to the structure of the human body, and the width of the headrest device 40 has a width similar to the width of an ordinary adult head, and the upper part has a gentle central part on the side. A cervical curved surface 41 in a convex shape is formed, and when the headrest 40 is viewed from the front, the settle surface 42 in which the upper central portion is concave is formed. The supporter 40 is manufactured using a memory foam that causes compression deformation according to the applied pressure to prevent unnecessary movement of the head during sleep, and if necessary, it is made of latex to produce more excellent elasticity. It can be configured to be.

Therefore, by the cervical curved surface 41 of the headrest device 40 made of memory foam or latex as described above, it is possible to naturally support the back of the head including the user's cervical spine, so that a more comfortable and comfortable feeling can be felt. The head restraints the user's head from shaking by the settled surface 42 with a concave central portion, while allowing the head load to be transmitted and spread to the head restraint 40 through the entire back portion, thereby acting on the head. It is possible to minimize the feeling of foreign body and pain caused by the opposite load.

In addition, by forming the protruding support portions 43 and 43 ′ formed convexly on both sides of the upper portion of the headrest unit 40 as described above, both sides of the user's head can be lightly supported together with the settled curved surface 42. Therefore, due to the head restraint 40, the user's head can spread and distribute the load through both sides of the head including the rear head.

Therefore, when the user lays his head on the pillow 10 in the state of being placed on the floor as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the user's head is positioned on the headrest 40 of the pillow 10 (40) will descend to the bottom surface, and due to the fall of the headrest (40), the pillow (10) in the shape of a "c" will naturally elastically press both sides of the user's head and the crown.

Subsequently, the cervical curved surface 41 of the headrest 40 is to support the user's cervical vertebra and the back of the head in a natural shape to match the curvature of the human body, and the settled curved surface 42 of the headrest 40 and The protruding support portions 43 and 43' on both sides play a role of preventing the user's head from shaking left and right.

In addition, when the headrest 40 is made of memory foam, a predetermined compression is generated through the pressure applied according to the shape of the user's head, and the shape of the head of the user is deformed as it is, thereby acting as a support in a stable and comfortable state. It will be, and the pillow 10 as a whole wraps the back of the user's head and creates a more cozy and comfortable state.

Then, as another embodiment of the headrest device 40 as described above, a cut line 44 is formed in the transverse direction from one end of the headrest device 40 as shown in FIG. 7, and the cut line 44 ) On the inner surface of the headrest 40, which is opened up and down by), a phytoncide injection pack 50, which is provided separately, is formed with a settling groove 45, and the head from the settling groove 45 As the discharge grooves 46 and 46 ′ are formed to communicate inside and outside the support hole 40 in all directions, the beneficial ingredients radiated from the phytoncide injection pack 50 diffuse into the entire interior of the pillow 10 Of course, it is configured so that it can affect the user's breathing or skin during sleep.

Here, phytoncide, a representative antimicrobial essential oil, is a kind of antibiotic emitted from trees itself to protect from harmful factors such as pests and microorganisms, and has excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antioxidant properties that are effective in inhibiting mold growth. It is widely used as a bathing agent, including a bathing agent, as a building interior material, functional cosmetics, or natural preservatives that require inhibition of virus growth, deodorization, and air purification. Representative medicinal essential oils such as resveratrol and oligomer proanthocyanidin compounds are powerful anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and It is well known for its excellent anti-allergic and anti-oxidant properties and is useful for preventing and alleviating adult diseases such as muscle pain, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and skin aging.

Therefore, in a state in which the liquid phytoncide is injected into the phytoncide injection pack 50 made of a breathable film fabric in which moisture cannot pass through and the air is free to communicate, the pillow 10 is inserted into the headrest 40. When using the pillow 10 in the state inserted into the insertion pocket 12 of ), the load applied through the user's head presses the headrest 40 as well as the internal phytoncide injection pack 50 Phytoncide, which is beneficial to the pillow 10, nourishes the user's respiratory tract and surroundings, induces a more comfortable and deep sleep, and at the same time prevents mold growth of the pillow 10 itself.

In addition, as another embodiment for the headrest device 40 as described above, a pair of compression guide grooves 47 and 47 spaced apart from the center to both sides in the upper portion of the headrest device 40 as shown in FIG. '), and the outer side of these compression guide grooves 47, 47', respectively, are formed with fitting grooves 48 and 48', and the compression guide grooves 47 and 47' are the user's head load When acting on the head restraint 40, the compression guide grooves 47 and 47 ′ accelerate compression in the process of generating compression by the rear head by placing it at the point where the largest load by the rear head portion is removed. By acting as a part, both upper sides of the headrest 40 are compressed and adhered toward both sides of the user's head.

Subsequently, the fitting grooves 48 and 48 ′ are configured so that the separately manufactured cushion acupressure tools 60 and 60 ′ can be inserted in an upper protruding state, thereby compressing the above as shown in FIG. 9. In the process of compressing and deforming the upper both sides of the headrest unit 40 by the guide grooves 47 and 47 ′, the cushion acupressure units 60 and 60 ′ located at both sides of the user's head Since it plays a role of pressing lightly, it prevents the head from moving again while sleeping, and at the same time creates the effect of lightly pressing both sides of the head in the diagonal direction.

At this time, the cushion acupressure device 60, 60 ′ is composed of a memory foam or latex having slightly increased hardness and elasticity compared to the elasticity of the headrest device 40 itself, so that the acupressure effect can be further improved. I will be able to do it.

Accordingly, in the functional pillow according to the present invention, the headrest is compressed and deformed according to the shape of the user's head, while the rest of the pillow covers the entire rear of the head, providing a more comfortable use and comfort, leading to a deeper sleep state. .
