Description

Differential thickness pillow}

The present invention relates to pillows having differential thickness.

The background technology is Korea Intellectual Property Office Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0093593 (2021.07.28). As shown in Figure 22, the multipurpose pillow 1 has a predetermined thickness between the upper and lower surfaces 12 and 14. a headrest (10) having; It is composed of a support portion (20) formed integrally with the left and right sides of the headrest portion (10) and supporting the headrest portion (10).

The support portion 20 has one side in contact with the headrest 10 and the upper and lower ends 22 and 24 respectively protrude from the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 14 of the headrest 10 at a predetermined height. It is made up of a shape.

In addition, symbol 15 is an opening and closing opening formed on the front or rear of the headrest 10, and is made of a slide fastener (zipper) or Velcro tape as shown in the drawing, and symbol 25 is a support portion. It is an opening and closing opening formed on the outside of (20), and as shown in the drawing, it also has a structure that can be opened and closed using a slide fastener or Velcro tape.

Although the support part 20 has an oval cross-sectional shape, it is not limited to this and can of course be manufactured in a circular cross-sectional shape. The upper and lower ends 22 and 24 of the support part 20 are each headrest 10. The protrusion heights on the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 14 are formed differently.

The headrest 10 has a thickness of 5 cm to 10 cm, preferably 6 to 8 cm, and the height of the protrusion 20 is 10 to 15 cm from the top to the bottom.

As a result, even when the body, including the head, is placed on the headrest 10, the support parts 20 on both sides can be prevented from tilting to either side, and when the pillow 1 is flipped up or down, the upper and lower parts protrude upward. By having the slopes of (22,24) point inward and outward, respectively, the head or other body can be effectively supported from the side.

In addition, the headrest 10 and the support portion 20 may be formed in a form that communicates with each other, but are formed in the form of compartments separated by a partition, and each has its own unique function by filling it with fillers made of different materials. In other words, since the headrest 10 is a part in direct contact with the human body, a material with a cushioning feeling preferred by each user is selected, and the degree to which the support part 20 is compressed by the load of the head is important, so the compressive strength, etc. It is desirable to be able to fill it with a choice of different sponges, memory foam, etc.

In addition, the area where the headrest 10 and the support 20 contact each other forms a predetermined radius of curvature, so that even when the head is turned left and right while lying down, the face area is prevented from sinking too deeply and at the same time, it is protected from the load on the head. It is possible to prevent sudden bending at the boundary where the headrest 10 and the support part 20 are pressed when pressed, and the appearance is improved by having a gentle curve and a sense of volume. can do.

On the other hand, when the pillow (1) is turned over and the upper part (22) of the support part (20) is located on the floor and the pillow (1) is lied down, the height from the floor to the lower surface (14) of the headrest part (10) is 2. It is ~3cm, which means 8~9cm. When the headrest 10 and the support part 10 are pressed by about 3cm due to the load of the head, the overall height from the floor to the head is lowered to approximately 5~6cm. The state is suitable for sleep.

Meanwhile, the above-mentioned height varies depending on the user's age, gender, or physical characteristics, so it cannot be generalized, but it is necessary for the user to adjust the thickness and amount of the filling material so that the height is appropriate for the user's body type.

Korea Intellectual Property Office Patent Registration No. 10-1559482 (2015.10.15) Korea Intellectual Property Office Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0001158 (2018.01.04) Korea Intellectual Property Office Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0093593 (2021.07.28) Korea Intellectual Property Office Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0026779 (2023.02.27)

The first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 6 as follows.

First, the terms are explained as follows.

The head seating portion (a) may be the same part as the connecting portion 210 of the C-shaped pillow 200.

Cervical seat portion (b) is a term referring to the central portion of the straight pillow 100, which is formed by connecting the straight pillow 100 and the connection portion 210 of the C-shaped pillow 200.

The face seating portion (c) is a term that refers overall to the portion where the thicknesses of the wing portions 220 and 230 of the C-shaped pillow 200 and the straight pillow 100 are combined.

The definition of the above terms applies to the case where the central portion of the straight pillow 100 is composed of the cervical spine seating portion (b).

Conversely, the connection portion 210 of the C-shaped pillow 200 may be configured as a cervical seat portion (b).

If configured in this way, the central portion of the straight pillow 100 constitutes a head seating portion (a).

The face seating portion ((c)) is the same as mentioned above.

x is the thickness of the head seating portion, y is the thickness of the cervical spine seating portion, and z is the thickness of the facial seating portion.

The terms “large volume” and “small volume” described in the specification will be used as synonyms for “large thickness” and “small thickness.”

Pillows are generally made of fabric, so the larger the volume, the naturally larger the thickness.

The detailed explanation with reference to the drawings is as follows.

Constructs a C-shaped pillow (200).

A straight pillow 100 is overlapped with the C-shaped pillow 200 and attached in a straight line, and the C-shaped pillow 200 is composed of wings 220 and 230 and a connecting portion 210.

The wing part consists of a first wing part 220 and a second wing part 230.

The straight pillow 100 is configured to connect or overlap the connection part 210 connecting the first wing part 220 and the second wing part 230 to form a face seating part (c) on the side of the pillow and The pillows are configured so that the thickness of the central part is differentiated.

Additionally, the central part of the pillow is configured to have different thicknesses front and back so that the cervical spine seating portion (b) and the head seating portion (a) have different thicknesses.

That is, the thickness of the cervical spine seating portion (b) is thicker than the thickness of the head seating portion (a).

Therefore, a differential thickness pillow is designed to protect the cervical spine and provide a good night's sleep regardless of the user's posture.

The cervical spine is protected by having different thicknesses between the cervical seating portion (b) and the connecting portion (210).

In other words, the cervical spine resting portion (b), which is the part that touches the cervical spine, is thicker than the head resting portion (a) so that the cervical spine of the user using the pillow is in an inverted C shape, thereby protecting the cervical spine by treating the cervical spine or seating the cervical spine. will be.

Conversely, the connection part 210 may be configured as a cervical spine seating portion (b), and the cervical spine seating portion may be configured as a head seating portion (a). In other words, the connection part is made thicker.

The pillow is designed so that the person using the pillow can naturally turn their head to lie down even if they turn their body to the side while sleeping.

In other words, even when moving the head to the side, the inclination angle is made gentle so that it moves naturally.

Depending on the user's intention, there may be a case where the pillow is cut in the state of Figure 1 and a case where the pillow is cut in the state of Figure 5.

In the case of Figure 5, when using a pillow, when the user naturally turns to the side while sleeping, the head moves more naturally to the side of the pillow, allowing for a good night's sleep.

Of course, even when using a pillow in the case of Figure 1, it is natural that the face seating portion has a natural inclination angle from the cervical spine seating portion, so that the head naturally moves in the side direction.

Additionally, when lying on your side and putting your hands between your face and the pillow while sleeping, the cross sections on both sides of the pillow become higher than the height of the face rest area, which has the effect of preventing the habit of sleeping with your hands between your face and the pillow.

The above effect is commonly applied to all embodiments.

The thickness of the side part of the pillow, that is, the thickness of the face seating portion (c), is made thicker than the thickness of the pillow when the user lies on the pillow, so that the cervical vertebrae are located on the same line from the spine even when lying on the side. The thickness of the face seating portion (c) is configured to have sufficient thickness to prevent bending in the seating portion (c).

The pillow consists of a cervical seat portion (b) that touches the user's cervical spine, a head rest portion (a) that touches the back of the user's head, and a face rest portion (c) that touches the user's face when moving to the side.

The thickness of the pillow is configured to gradually increase in the order of the head seating portion (a), the cervical spine seating portion (b), and the face seating portion (c), so that when the user sleeps upright, the head seating portion ( The thickness of the cervical spine seating unit (b) is configured to be thicker than that in a) so that the user's cervical spine seated in the cervical spine seating unit (b) maintains an inverted C shape.

In addition, even when the user sleeps on his side, the wings naturally gradually become thicker toward the side of the pillow, so the user's head naturally moves toward the side of the pillow and creates a height difference between the shoulder and face. The wing portions 220 and 230 of the straight pillow 100 and the C-shaped pillow 200 overlap so that the shoulder is not burdened, that is, the face seating portion (c) is equal to or more than the distance from the floor to the shoulder to the face. The goal is to construct a differentiated pillow that allows for a good night's sleep.

The distance from the shoulder to the face refers to the thickness when lying down with the side of the face leaning against the face seating part (c) of the pillow.

Instead of combining the straight pillow 100 and the C-shaped pillow 200, the entire pillow configuration can be formed as one piece.

You can use a soft pillow, but you can also use one with some elasticity, such as memory foam.

The purpose of the present invention is to gradually increase the distance from the floor to the head, the distance from the floor to the cervical spine, and the distance from the floor to the side of the face to protect the cervical spine and improve the quality of sleep so that a good night's sleep can be achieved. .

The second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figures 7 to 11 as follows.

Constructs a C-shaped pillow (200).

A straight pillow is attached in the longitudinal direction, overlapping with the C-shaped pillow 200.

The C-shaped pillow 200 consists of wing parts 220 and 230 and a connection part 210.

The wing portion is a vertically curved portion of the C-shaped pillow 200, and the connecting portion 210 refers to the central portion of the C-shaped pillow 200.

The straight pillow is configured such that one side volume portion 110 is larger than the other side volume portion 120 in the longitudinal direction.

The central portion of the one side volume portion 110 is composed of a cervical seat portion (b).

The central portion of the other side volume portion 120 is composed of a head seating portion (a).

The left and right sides spaced apart from the central portion of the wing portion and the one-side volume portion 110 are formed by overlapping the C-shaped wing portion 200 and a straight pillow, and thus become the portion with the highest thickness.

The left and right sides of the pillow are composed of a face seating portion (c), and the head seating portion (a), the cervical spine seating portion (b), and the face seating portion (c) each have differential thickness, but the thickness gradually becomes thicker. Therefore, the differential thickness pillow is designed so that the user can get a good night's sleep in any position.
