Description

Multi-hardness and elastomer of Health pillow for control of Height

The pillow of the present invention is composed of a multi-elastic body of a material having a different hardness in consideration of the distribution of body pressure applied to the pillow, in particular the head of the sleeper according to the posture of the pillow user lying directly or sideways In consideration of the difference in the height of the neck, the height of the head indentation and the neck support located in the center and left and right parts of the pillow is different, and the pad installed under the air bag or the bottom of the cushion material The present invention relates to a health pillow made of multi-hardness and polyelastic material for height adjustment, characterized in that the height of the pillow can be partially or totally adjusted.

Conventionally, the pillows used in general households have almost constant height and shape without considering any characteristics of the body. Also, by inserting cushion materials such as buckwheat, buckwheat, cotton, rice bran and rice straw into the pillow's envelope, When sleeping, the improper height of the pillow leads to unnatural connection of the head, neck, and shoulders.In particular, the cushioning material in the outer shell does not take into account the distribution of body pressure applied to the pillow by each part of the body. You are pressed by it.

The conventional pillow as described above is unnatural to the sleeping person's posture, the neck, shoulders or waist, etc. are constrained, severely, neck disk, lumbar disc, etc. may develop, and the cushion material in the pillow is too hard so that the back of the head Under pressure, blood circulation in the cervical vertebrae is not smooth, and the head's head is bruised even after sleeping due to lack of oxygen supply to the brain.

Therefore, many types of pillows have been developed to solve the above problems.

1A and 1B is a pillow focused on improving the cushioning material, the cushioning material 120 is made of oil, gel, gel or urethane foam, etc., and the shell 110 covered therewith is made of a conventional new material fabric. , The middle of the pillow surface relates to a pillow consisting of a slightly concave recessed portion and a neck support portion protruding slightly convex on one surface thereof, and the pillow of FIGS. 2A and 2B relates to a pillow equipped with an airbag. The present invention relates to a pillow composed of an air injection hose 150 that wraps the airbag 130 with a cushion material such as a sponge and connects the airbag 130 and the air pump 140.

However, such pillows do not consider the distribution of body pressure on each part of the body of the pillow and the position of the person lying directly or sideways, that is, the height from the bottom of the head and neck area. There was no number.

Accordingly, the pillow of the present invention is to solve the above problems, in consideration of the distribution of body pressure of each part of the body applied to the pillow to support the head and neck using a cushion material having different hardness and elasticity depending on the contact area In addition, the height of the head indentation and the neck support located at the center and left and right sides of the pillow is considered in consideration of the difference in the height of the head and neck area of the sleeper according to the position of the pillow user lying directly or sideways. In addition, the present invention provides a health pillow made of multi-hardness and polyelastic material for height adjustment, characterized in that the height of the pillow can be adjusted by using an air bag built in the cushion material or by installing a pad at the bottom of the cushion material. have.

In general, the pillow's health factors emphasize the shape, height, material hardness, or elasticity of the pillow. Too soft pillows do not support the neck firmly, which makes it difficult to maintain posture and causes many areas to sink into bedding. You will feel less discomfort and less likely to evaporate. In addition, the pillow factors affecting sleep include size, touch, absorbency, hardness or elasticity of the inner material, thermal conductivity, and shape stability. The higher the height of the cervical spine, the neck and shoulders are constrained, the risk of cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, neck disc, the lower cervical spine, the lower back, etc., the neck is also adversely affected liver function . If the head height of the pillow is high, the snoring or scissor sleep will occur, and the neck will have severe wrinkles, and if the head height is low, the mouth will be dry and thirsty, causing nightmares or colds easily. There is a risk of the disease.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have already filed a pillow of multi-hardness and poly-elastic structure according to the body pressure distribution of each part of the body in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 02-92275 (2002. 12. 11). It can be further developed so that the height of the head and cervical spine that touches the pillow can be partially adjusted using air bags or pads, or the overall height of the pillow can be adjusted only using the pads. Multi-hardness and polyelastic material for height adjustment, characterized in that the height of the head indentation part and the neck support part which are located at the center part of the pillow and the left and right part in consideration of the height from the bottom of the head and neck part when lying down Developing a health pillow has solved all of the above problems.
