Description

Pillow for preventing crick in should and neck}

The present invention relates to a cervical spine and a stiff neck pillow, and more particularly, by varying the height according to the support of the pillow to protect the cervical spine of the user and at the same time changing the sleeping posture to provide a comfortable sleep. And cervical spine and anti-stiff shoulder pillow.

The pillow supports the head at bedtime or at rest and induces a good night's sleep, and also secures the stability of the body structure through cervical spine protection and performs a function of smoothing breathing and blood circulation.

However, the normal pillow is a shape that supports the head and neck of the head with a different height when lying on the upper side, and serves to push the neck forward and backward, so that even the function of simple bedding cannot be performed properly. Not only does not induce deep sleep during sleep, which occupies a third of the time, but also tends to harm health.

In other words, the general pillow does not take into account the characteristics of the body at all, and even when lying on the side and when lying on the side, the difference in the distance from the ground to the shoulders, head and neck is almost constant height and atypical form It is very uncomfortable. In addition, the pillow simply put cushion materials such as buckwheat, buckwheat, cotton, rice bran and crest. Therefore, the head, neck and shoulder posture is often unnatural due to the inappropriate height and shape of the pillow when a person sleeps. Due to this, the neck, shoulder or waist may be constipated after sleep, and neck disc, stiff shoulder and lumbar disc may develop. Because of the lack of oxygen supply to the brain, even after sleeping, the head is bruised, and in severe cases, the pressure of the cerebral blood vessels is increased, and there is a risk of causing brain hemorrhage or stroke.

Therefore, there has been a need for a pillow that can adjust the support height of the pillow in consideration of the shape of the person's body and sleeping position. In this regard, as shown in FIG. 9, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0336695 has a cushioning material (semi-hard elastic material and soft elastic material) having different hardness and elasticity according to the contact area in consideration of the body pressure distribution of each part of the body. ), And pillows having different heights of the head recesses 3 and 3 'and the heights of the neckrests 4 and 4' respectively located at the center and left and right portions of the pillow according to the sleeping position of the user. Designed.

However, the pillow of the prior art as described above has the following problems, it is very difficult to be practical.

First, the pillow of the prior art is the dimension of the cushion cushion material of the pillow to have a height that meets the standard dimensions of adult men and women in a posture lying down and sideways. However, the height of the pillow according to one's body shape varies depending on the size of the body, the degree of development of each part of the body, or the sleeping habits. Despite the slight differences in pillow height, the user may have a very comfortable sleep and may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a user to accurately select and purchase a pillow having a height suitable for him, and therefore, a pillow purchased at a relatively high cost becomes often useless.

 Second, the pillow of the prior art is formed so that the head recess and neck support portion having a different height, and formed a cushioning material foam consisting of a semi-rigid elastic body and a soft elastic body, and covered with an outer material (pillow skin) on the cushioning material foam consist of. However, molding the cushioning material foam into such a complicated shape is not only very difficult in manufacturing, but the manufacturing cost is unrealistically increased, and there is an extremely difficult problem of practical use.

The present invention was created in order to solve the above problems, the production height is simple and significantly improve the availability of the pillow while at the same time inducing a comfortable sleep by varying the support height of the pillow according to the user's sleeping position The aim is to provide a very inexpensive cervical and shoulder stiff pillow.

Cervical vertebra and shoulder stiffening prevention pillow according to the present invention for achieving the above object is made of a built-in filling material in the pillow cover and is formed in a substantially rectangular rolled square shape. A rectangular concave indentation is formed in a substantially central portion of the pillow to define the first to fourth supports at portions adjacent to the four edges of the concave portion, respectively. The first support part and the third support part, which are two support parts that face each other among the four support parts, set their heights differently, and the second support part and the fourth support part, which are two other support parts that face each other among the four support parts, are It is set to have a relatively larger height than the first support and the third support. The urging portion is formed by mutually bonding the upper and lower surfaces of the central portion of the pillow case in a rectangular shape, and the height of the first supporting portion to the fourth supporting portion is set different from each other by setting the bonding position of the recess portion to be biased a predetermined distance from the center of the pillow. .

It is preferable to further include a height adjusting strip member detachably attached to the first to fourth support parts and the indentation to enable fine adjustment of the pillow height.

It is preferable that the breathable sachet is detachably attached to the inner edge of the pillow, and the fragrance-releasing material is incorporated into the breathable sachet.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the cervical vertebra and shoulder stiff neck pillow according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the pillow 10 of the present embodiment is configured in the form of the filling material 12 is filled in the inside of the pillow shell 11, and substantially rounded rectangular shape (viewed from above) Is done. The filler 12 is for imparting a constant cushion and compressive strength to the pillow, the material that emits far-infrared rays, which is beneficial to the human body, such as a piece of finely cut pieces of biosomes or bioceramic straws or a grain size of loess grains. It is preferable that it consists of. The pillow 11 is preferably made using a mesh cloth or fabric fibers having breathability and elasticity.

In the central portion of the pillow 10, the recess 13 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. The recess 13 is formed by a method of joining the upper and lower surfaces of the central portion of the pillow case 11 to each other. The joints are indicated by reference numerals 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d, which are edge portions of the recesses. The filler 12 is also embedded in the recess 13 by a predetermined amount. The urinary indentation portion is set to a size such that the user does not press the left and right sides and the upper portion of the head when the user sleeps.

Thus, by forming the rectangular recessed part 13 in the center part of the pillow 10, the part of the pillow body except the recessed part 13 is the four edge junctions 13a, 13b, 13c of the recessed part 13, 4 parts adjacent to 13d), that is, the first support part 21, the second support part 22, the third support part 23 and the fourth support part 24, respectively.

The first support part 21 and the third support part 22 are parts for supporting a neck in a state in which a person is lying upright. The head is supported by the recess 13 when the person is lying down straight.

Since the heights of the first support part 21 and the third support part 22 are different from each other, the user can select and use a support part suitable for his or her body shape or sleeping habits. That is, the height t1 of the first support part 21 is set lower than the height t2 of the third support part 22 by a predetermined size. The height of the concave inlet 13 is set lower than the first support 21 and the third support 22.

As shown in Fig. 4, the user who desires a relatively low bed posture sleeps while supporting the neck on the first support 21 of the pillow and the head on the recess 13. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, a user who prefers a relatively high bed posture to rotate the pillow 180 degrees to support the neck to the third support 22, and sleep with the head supported by the indentation (13). .

The height t3 of the second support 23 and the height t4 of the fourth support 24 are both greater than the height t1 (t2) of the first support 21 and the third support 22. Set it. Since the second support part 23 and the fourth support part 24 support the side faces of the neck and head in a state in which the person is lying sideways, the face of the sleeper should be supported at a position relatively higher than the upright position. Distance from the shoulder line to the side of the face is required). The second and fourth supports of the present invention prevent the shoulder from being pressed when lying on the side to prevent shoulder stiffness and also place the neck bone correctly.

On the other hand, the filler 12 of the pillow is composed of a material that can be deformed to some extent by the body pressure pressed by the face of the person, the second support 23 or the fourth support 24 in the side lying position as shown in FIG. The user may sleep in a comfortable posture by naturally deforming according to the shape of the side surface.

Thus, the height of each support part of the pillow of this embodiment is set differently depending on the sleeping position and the part which contacts the pillow at bedtime. That is, the height t1 of the first support part 21 supporting the neck of the user who prefers a low bed posture in the upright posture, and the third support part 22 supporting the neck of the user who prefers a high bed posture in the upright posture Height t2) and the height t3 (t4) of the second support 23 or the fourth support 24 for supporting the user's head in the side-down position have the following relationship.

t1 <t2 <t3 = t4

For example, the height of the first support 21 is set to 4-5 cm, the height of the third support 22 is 6-7 cm, and the height of the second support 23 and the fourth support 24 is set to 14-16 cm. Can be.

On the other hand, by setting the height of the second support portion 23 and the fourth support portion 24 differently, it is also possible to configure so as to satisfy both the user who wants a low lowering posture and a high lowering posture even in a side lying down position.

Based on the pillow having the shape as described above, if four to five different sizes of pillows are made for each person's body type, most users can select and use a pillow suitable for their body shape and sleeping position.

It is also possible to produce a pillow of the present embodiment on-line orders. For example, if the user measures the height of the neck in a straight state lying down and the height of the side of the face while lying sideways, the height of the first to fourth support parts can be produced accordingly and provided to the orderer. have. The user can determine the pillow height that is most suitable for them by rolling a towel, measuring the neck height, laying a book, stacking books, and measuring the shoulder height.

In order to make the heights of the first to fourth support parts of the pillow different from each other, the following technical configuration is applied in the present embodiment.

That is, the recess 13 is formed at a position slightly biased from the center point of the pillow. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the width L1 of the first support part 21, the width L3 of the second support part 23, the width L2 of the third support part 22, and the fourth support part The position and size of the concave indentation portion 13 are set so that the width L4 of (24) is in the following relationship.

L1 <L2 <L3 = L4

When the upper and lower parts of the pillow case 11 are joined so that the position and size of the concave part 13 are as described above, and the filler 12 is constantly filled in the pillow case 11, the height of the third support part 22 is naturally increased. (t2) is set higher than the height (t1) of the first support portion 21, the height (t3, t4) of the second support portion 23 and the fourth support portion 24 is the first support portion 21 and the third. It is set higher than the heights t1 and t2 of the support part 22. By varying the size of the width of the first support and the fourth support portion of the height of the first support portion to the fourth support portion can be made a pillow of the size suitable for a variety of body types as many as 4-5 or more desired.

In this embodiment, the height of the first support part and the fourth support part of the pillow can be set differently in such an extremely simple manner.
