Description

Massage Pillow

The present invention relates to a massage pillow, and more particularly, to a massage pillow capable of stimulating a head and a neck so as to be a massage, and also enabling a correct posture to be maintained by calibrating a diagonal neck to a C shape.

With the growing importance of sleep in recent years, the well-sleeping business is growing rapidly. It is thought that the sleeping market is enlarged because of the sleep disturbance caused by stress and aging.

According to the National Health Insurance Corporation, the number of patients suffering from sleep disorders rose from 228,000 in 2008 to 357,000 in 2012, an increase of 130,000 over five years. In particular, the number of patients in their 20s was more than 6%.

This is mainly attributed to the excessive time spent on stress and specs due to the job hunting. Adults have not been able to take a good night's sleep due to stress from a long-term recession.

However, in addition to these surface and direct causes, it is common for people to pay more attention to sleep as the national income increases.

Related industries and experts generally say that the national income is over $ 30,000, and the interest in the sleeping environment is expressed positively. As the interest in the quality of their lives increases, and the economic income increases, the purchasing power of related products also increases.

 In the case of the US, the well-sleeping market has grown since 1990, and the size of the market has reached about 23 trillion won in 2011. This is a completely industrialized industry that has built a separate domain that is often referred to as "sleeponomics."

 The sleep market in Korea is growing rapidly. According to the Shinsegae Department Store, sales of high-priced premium beds that help you sleep are growing by 19.5% YoY in 2011 and 32.7% YoY in 2012 and 38.9% YoY in 2013, respectively.

One of the most important elements of the sleeping market is a pillow that comfortably supports and rests the neck and head of a human body at the time of bedtime. Conventionally, the pillow is made of hard and soft materials, And the like are put into the pillow, and various pillows are commercially available in terms of material and functionality.

Comfortable sleep has a very important meaning because one-third of the daily life of people is resting through sleeping. The most important thing in taking such a sleep is a pillow.

This is supported by the fact that most of the shoulders, snoring, headache, insomnia, neck disc, and diagonal neck are mislabeled or mis-selected.

However, the conventional pillow was too hard or too soft or too high or too low to allow the head and neck to move freely without getting seated on the pillow, breaking the flow of the shoulder line.

In addition, in general, the structure of the human body is shifted forward (convexly) from the head to the upper cervical vertebra, and due to the gravitational force of the human body and the rotation period of the earth, the center of gravity is biased forward from the cervical vertebra, Is easily tense.

In addition, stress in life, bad posture habits, and various injuries increase the degree of tension in this area, and occlusion of the large laryngeal nerve or the vertebral artery causes pressure on the lower larynx.

In this case, the various nerves passing through the jugular vein are subjected to sustained compression, and the muscles that they control are tensed, resulting in dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that maintains homeostasis. In severe cases, .

Therefore, the relaxation of the muscles and soft tissues of the occipital region and the lower larynx is very important.

Conventionally, the tension of the occipital area and the lower part of the larynx has been treated through a troublesome procedure in which a practitioner such as a manual therapist, a physical therapist, or the like manually releases the tension.

However, the treatment method by the clinician or the physical therapist requires the operator to lift the head of the patient with his / her finger until the tension of the occiput and the larynx relaxes, so that the treatment requires a great deal of effort, time and effort Despite being very beneficial to health, it is difficult to treat many patients.

 In order to solve such problems, various pillows have been recently introduced that can have a sufficient therapeutic effect without direct treatment. However, the pillow is generally made of a soft material so as to be comfortable and to reduce a feeling of rejection of the user, It is shrunk and deformed by the load and its function is weakened.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the pillow from being deformed even if it is used for a long period of time, but the prior art has neglected it.

And the shape of a person is different. In other words, since the structure of the neck is different for each person, the shape and structure of the pillow are different from each other.

Thus, the functional pillow needs to be able to adjust the shape and structure of the pillow to enhance its function.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention and the manner of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but may be embodied in various different forms, and these embodiments are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the present invention to the precise form disclosed, It is provided to inform the person completely of the scope of the invention. And the terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. The singular forms herein include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Brief Description of Drawings FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

1 and 2, a cervical correction pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first cushion 100 and a second cushion 200.

First, the first cushion 100 seats the rear head portion adjacent to the neck of the human body to support the cervical vertebra in a C-shape. In order to perform the above-described functions, the first cushion 100 includes the cervical vertebrae 110 and the correction inducing unit 120.

Concretely, the cervical vertebrae 110 supports the neck by alternately arranging the concave portion 111 and the convex portion 112 along the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the first cushion 100.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cervical vertebrae 110 is positioned in correspondence with the mastoid projection, which is a portion to which the posterior bones and the vertebrae are connected, and supports the mastoid projection from the ground direction. Therefore, when the nerve compression of the cervical vertebrae causes pain, the cervical vertebrae 110 may be pulled through the joints of the cervical vertebrae to relieve the pain.

In addition to pulling the cervical spine apart, the cervical vertebrae 110 also allows for the acupressure of the muscles around the back of the neck through a zigzag configuration in which the recesses 111 and the protrusions 112 are alternately arranged, Air can be circulated to the space provided between the first and second portions 110 and 110.

Thus, by securing the advantage of relieving the muscles around the cervical vertebrae and securing the breathability through the acupressure effect, it is possible to enter the sleep state more comfortably and to solve the cervical vertebrae and relieve fatigue of the muscles in the sleep state .

At this time, the correction inducing unit 120 inclines the cervical vertebrae 110 such that the back of the cervical vertebra is seated downward, thereby guiding the cervical vertebra to be bent in a C-shape. The angle of the cervical vertebrae can be precisely adjusted to 12 ° in the posterior direction, which can reduce snoring caused by dyspnea.

In addition, it is possible to stably support and fix the occipital region from the ground, and to prevent the positional deviation from being caused due to backlash or languor during sleep.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, an acupressure or the like that can pressurize the occipital region may be provided on the surface of the calibration-guiding portion 120 to relieve the stress caused by the back acupressure as well as the health of the cervical vertebrae and pain caused by hangover or headache have.

The second cushion 200 surrounds the outer surface of the first cushion 100 and seats and supports the shoulder of the human body in an inclined manner.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the second cushion 200 is formed with a seating groove 210 on which the first cushion 100 is removably seated. Therefore, when breakage occurs in the first cushion 100 or washing is required, only the first cushion 100 required to be restored through the seating groove 210 is separated, and then the first cushion 100 is recovered A spare cushion similar to the first cushion 100 may be used in combination with the second cushion 200. In addition, the height adjustment portion 220 to be described later can be easily separated and separated.

A height adjusting unit 220 having a predetermined thickness is interposed between the first cushion 100 and the second cushion 200.

The height adjuster 220 may be formed in various ways. As shown in FIG. 6, there are two examples. One of the two is a height adjustment pad inserted between the first and second cushions 100 and 200, 1 cushion 100 is further separated from the ground. In this method, after the first cushion 100 is separated from the second cushion 200, the height adjustment is completed by holding or separating the pads formed between the seating grooves 210, so that the user can easily use them There are advantages to be able to.

7, the air tube 221 and the air tube 221, which are accommodated in the second cushion 200 and can vary in volume according to the amount of air injected from the outside, And an air pump 222 for injecting the air into the space.

Of course, it is necessary to pay attention to breakage due to a pneumatic phenomenon peculiar to the air tube 221 or a strong impact from the outside. However, since the height of the pneumatic tube 221 can be adjusted more delicately than the height- The efficiency is high in that there is no need to separately provide pads having different heights depending on the structure.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the second cushion 200 is formed with an inclined surface that slopes downward in the downward direction of the human body for seating the shoulders. Here, the incision part 230 is different from the conventional health functional pillow. The incision 230 allows the second cushion 200 to be curved in the direction of the first cushion 100 so that the spine positioned at the center of the shoulder is seated on the ground. This stabilizes the scapula at the cervical vertebrae, thoracic spine, and shoulder areas during sleep, which is essential for ensuring relaxation and stability of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and trunk.

The thoracic region between the chest and the back is composed of 12 vertebrae. Especially, the size of the thoracic vertebra starting from under the cervical vertebra gradually decreases. On the other hand, since the remaining 4 th to 12 th thoracic vertebrae gradually increase, To fix the thoracic spine between the shoulders so that the relaxation of the trunk can be maintained during sleep.

Further, the second cushion 200 is characterized in that a plurality of elastic protrusions 240 for dispersing the load of the shoulders which are seated are formed with a certain gap therebetween. At this time, the elastic protrusion 240 should be formed so as to be optimized for uniformly distributing the load felt on the shoulder. Accordingly, it is preferable that the elastic protrusions 240 include a material resistant to shock absorption, and that the elastic protrusions 240 are arranged in correspondence with the portion where the load is loaded when the shoulders are seated.

The elastic protrusions 240 are basically wide and flat, so that the load is more efficiently dispersed.

When the cervical correction pillow of the present invention is used, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inflammation or pain by pressing the ligaments or the capsule around the shoulder joint because the wrong sleeping posture, such as raising the arm over the forehead, pillow, .

Now, as shown in FIG. 8, let us check the action that occurs when the wearer actually uses the cervical correction pillow of the present invention.

First, the back, neck and shoulders are seated on the calibration guide 120, the cervical vertebrae 110 and the second cushion 200, respectively. At this time, the cervical vertebrae 110 pulls and calibrates the space between the cervical vertebrae. At this time, the muscles supporting the cervical vertebrae and the cervical vertebrae are pressed through the convex portions 112 and air is circulated through the vertebrae 111 to induce a pleasant sleep do. In addition, the correction inducing unit 120 maximizes the correction efficiency of the cervical vertebra by placing the occipital region at a lower height from the ground than the cervical vertebrae so that the cervical vertebra is bent at 12 degrees backward, while the airway prevents compression and reduces snoring. Finally, the second cushion 200 stabilizes the cervical vertebrae, the thoracic spine, and the scapula by fixing the spine or thoracic spine between the shoulders through the incision 230 and the elastic protrusions 240, Respectively.

This is a process that occurs simultaneously during sleep, and can provide a more pleasant and deep sleep through the above-described process. Also, during the sleeping, the cervical vertebrae can be relaxed and the muscles reaching the neck and shoulders can be maintained. .

According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the function of stimulating the head and the neck to be a massage is based on the cervical vertebra and its surroundings, It is possible to make the posture correction by keeping it naturally.

In addition, the structure of the pillow can be easily adjusted according to the individual user through the height adjustment unit provided separately, thereby maximizing the effect of correction and physical therapy.

The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the claims of the invention to be described below may be better understood. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the appended claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
