Abstract

The present invention relates to a U-shaped pillow and, more specifically, relates to a U-shaped pillow capable of enabling a user to adjust the pillow to a convenient and advisable height for sleeping by having a U-shaped design, and maximizing the quality of sleeping by preventing the pillow from separating from the user. The U-shaped pillow has a U-shape to accept the head of the user, and a pillow body (10) has a structure getting thicker as the body gets closer from the center to both longitudinal ends. Preferably, the upper part (12) of the pillow body (10) is filled with granular fillers such as EPS and EPP, and the lower part (14) is made of EVA material or memory foam. According to the present invention, the U-shaped pillow is designed in a U-shape to enable the user to effectively adjust the pillow to a convenient and advisable height depending on a sleeping posture of the user. As the height of the pillow is formed with two steps or inclined surface, the user is able to change the sleeping posture without disturbance, and moreover, the pillow is prevented from separating from the user to maximize the quality of sleep.

Description

U-Type Pillow {U-Type Pillow}

The present invention relates to a U-shaped pillow, and more particularly, it is designed in a U-shaped curved shape so that a user can effectively adjust a comfortable and desirable pillow height according to a sleeping posture, The present invention relates to a U-shaped pillow capable of improving the quality of sleep as much as possible.

 When a pillow is selected, an adult with an average body size is recommended to have 6 to 8 cm when the pillow is lying down, and 10 to 15 cm when the pillow is lying down to take a healthy sleep.

In general, rather than maintaining one of the fixed positions of the sleeping, it is possible to lie down or to lie down on the side, so that the height of the pillow must be different according to the posture to get a healthy sleep.

As a conventional technique for controlling the height of a pillow, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0436534 discloses a " height-adjustable pillow ", which includes an air pump for manually injecting air, an air tube for expanding when air is introduced, The tube is equipped with an air hose connected to the air pump to adjust the height of the pillow.

However, the above-mentioned height-adjustable pillow has a problem of effectively controlling the height of the pillow in accordance with the changing posture of the user while the user is lying down or lying down.

The "front side height adjustable pillow" disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration Utility No. 20-0471069 has a structure in which the parts for adjusting the height of the front and side water surfaces are wound around the body of the front and side water pillows, Respectively. However, such a "front side height-adjustable pillow" has a two-step height, which causes a jaw between the front and side pillows, which makes it difficult to change the posture from the front to the side have.

On the other hand, most of the ordinary pillows are manufactured without a means for preventing the user from being separated from the pillow during sleep, which sometimes causes a problem of separation from the pillow depending on the user's sleeping habits.

Registration Utility Model No. 20-0471069

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a pedometer which can freely and easily adjust the height of a pillow when changing posture between a frontal surface and a lateral surface, And a U-shaped height adjusting and releasing preventing pillow.

To achieve the above object, the U-shaped pillow of the present invention is a pillow body 10 having a U-shaped shape for accommodating a user's head and having a thickness gradually increasing from the center toward both ends in the longitudinal direction .
