The present invention relates to a cervical height measuring device and a measuring device, and more particularly, to a measuring device and measuring device that can easily and accurately measure the height of the cervical spine of a person to determine the most suitable ergonomic pillow height.

From ancient times, high pillows have been used habitually in our lives. If you use a high pillow for a long time, the cervical spine will bend forward, causing blood circulation problems due to vasoconstriction, and also narrowing the airway, causing breathing difficulties (snoring, etc.) and stiffness due to muscle clumping, neck bones, and spine It may also cause discs, back pain and arthritis. It also complains of tiredness due to lack of sleep due to an uncomfortable posture, which causes problems such as lack of concentration and anxiety in daily life.

Most of the pillows currently on the market have a constant height of the pillow, and the pillow is manufactured with the proper angle of inclination (about 5 °) between the floor and the head when the pillow is used. If you do not feel comfortable with the pillow, the nerves connected to the body through the spine adversely affects the body, not sleeping, and not only the related areas (neck, head, etc.) but also the whole body is condensed.

Conventional cervical height measurers have used a method of measuring the height of the cervical spine from the rear by combining the inclined protractor at a certain angle to the measurement standard, and having a person bend the neck to stare at the tip of the protractor. However, this method was inaccurate by measuring only the eye to maintain the ideal angle (about 5 °), and the measurement value was inevitably different for each person or even the same person.

Therefore, efforts have been made to use accurate measurements of cervical spine heights in the manufacture of pillows, and accordingly industry demands have been steadily attempted to produce the most ergonomically suitable pillows.

In response to these demands, the inventors have diligently studied the measuring device that can easily and accurately measure the height of the cervical spine to determine the height of the pillow.The result is that each person's gender, age and body size, head structure, and long and short neck In view of this, the present inventors have developed a measuring device and a measuring device capable of measuring cervical height easily and accurately.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cervical height measuring device for providing a pillow that is ergonomically accurate to each person.
