As shown in the drawings, the multipurpose pillow 1 according to this embodiment includes a headrest 10 having a predetermined thickness between the upper and lower surfaces 12 and 14;

and a support part 20 integrally formed on the left and right sides of the headrest part 10 to support the headrest part 10 .

The support 20 has one side in contact with the headrest 10, and upper and lower ends 22 and 24 protrude to a predetermined height from the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 14 of the headrest 10, respectively. is in the form of

In the drawing, reference numeral 11 denotes an endothelium accommodated inside the headrest 10 , and various types of filling materials 13 are filled inside the endothelium 11 .

In addition, reference numeral 15 denotes an opening formed on the front or rear surface of the headrest 10, and is made of a slide fastener (zipper) or Velcro tape as shown in the drawing, and reference numeral 25 denotes the support part. As an opening and closing port formed on the outside of (20), this also has a structure that can be opened and closed using a slide fastener or Velcro tape, as shown in the drawing.

In addition, reference numeral 21 denotes a filling material filled inside the support part 20. In this embodiment, a material such as a sponge or memory foam is used, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The same material as the filling material may be used.

In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the support 20 has an elliptical cross-sectional shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be manufactured in a circular cross-sectional shape. 22 and 24) are formed to have different protrusion heights from the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 14 of the headrest 10, respectively.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the headrest 10 is 5 cm or more and 10 cm or less, preferably 6-8 cm, and the height of the protrusion 20 is 10-15 cm from the top to the bottom. .

In addition, in the present embodiment, as can be seen from the front view of FIG. 3 , in the support part 20 forming the elliptical cross-section, the elliptical long-radius line is inclined at 15 to 30 degrees from the vertical line, so the left and right side support parts 20 ), the distance between the lower ends 24 is far, and the distance between the upper ends 22 is relatively close.

Accordingly, even if the body including the head is placed on the headrest 10, it is possible to prevent the both sides of the support 20 from inclining to either side, and when the pillow 1 is turned upside down, the upper and lower ends protruding upwards By making the inclinations of (22, 24) face inward and outward, respectively, it is in a state that can effectively support the head or other body from the side.

In this embodiment, any one or two or more of cotton, latex, memory foam, sponge, down, and wood chips may be mixed and used for the headrest 10 and the support 20 as a filling material. (10) and the support portion 20 may be separately implemented as in the separated state diagram of Figure 2, may be carried out integrally infilling.

Although not shown in the drawings, a storage space for accommodating a fragrance or a Bluetooth speaker may be further formed inside the support 20, which provides a space in the filling material 21 inside the support 20, When the above-mentioned air freshener or Bluetooth speaker is built-in, the desired scent is gently emitted while using the pillow, so that it not only induces good sleep by the aromatherapy effect, but also the ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) effect by the Bluetooth speaker, that is, You can induce sleep while listening to white noise suitable for sleep, and of course, you can lie down and listen to your favorite music, radio or TV broadcasts.

In addition, in the present invention, the headrest portion 10 and the support portion 20 may be formed in a mutually connected form, but are formed in the form of a compartment separated by a partition wall, and each Since the unique function, that is, the headrest 10 is a part in direct contact with the human body, a material having a preferred feeling of cushioning is selected for each user, and the degree of compression of the support 20 by the load of the head is important. It is preferable to select and fill a sponge or memory foam with different compressive strength, etc.

In addition, in this embodiment, the portion where the headrest 10 and the support portion 20 are in contact is to form a predetermined radius of curvature, so even if the head is turned from side to side while lying down, the face portion is prevented from being too deep. At the same time, when pressed by the load of the head, it is possible to prevent abrupt bending at the boundary where the headrest 10 and the support 20 are in contact, and to have a gentle curve and a sense of volume in appearance. Thus, the aesthetics can be improved.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, the headrest 10 and the support unit 20 have a shape retaining device built-in to prevent excessive pressure or bending even if the head or legs are cut on the headrest 10. It is possible, however, that this shape retaining tool is preferably made of a synthetic resin plate having elasticity, and is located in the filling material 13 so that the human body does not feel a foreign body feeling.

In this embodiment, the protrusion height of the upper end 22 of the support unit 20 is 2 to 3 cm, and the protrusion height of the lower end 24 is 5 to 8 cm, whereby the height of the headrest 10 is 6 cm. , as shown in FIG. 4, when lying down immediately with the lower end 24 positioned on the floor, the height from the floor to the upper surface 12 of the headrest 10 is 5 to 8 cm, so the protrusion height of the lower end is 5 to 8 cm. It forms 14 cm, and when the headrest 10 and the support part 10 are pressed by about 3 cm by the load of the head, the overall height from the floor to the head becomes a relatively high state of approximately 8 to 11 cm. It is the right height for lying down and watching TV.

In addition, in this state, when both arms are folded and pooled behind the head on the pillow, both arms are naturally supported by the support part 20 protruding upward, so that the head can be raised higher, and both arms can be comfortably supported on the support part. It can relieve fatigue by being supported by the

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 , when the pillow 1 is turned over so that the upper end 22 of the support part 20 is positioned on the floor, when lying down immediately, from the floor to the lower surface 14 of the headrest part 10 The height of the top is 2~3cm, so it is 8~9cm. When the headrest 10 and the supporter 10 are pressed about 3cm by the load of the head, the overall height from the floor to the head is approximately 5~ It is in a state that is lowered to 6cm, so it is a state suitable for sleeping.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned height is different depending on the age, sex, or physical characteristics of the user, so it cannot be generalized, but it is necessary to adjust the thickness and amount of the filling material so that the height is suitable for the user's body type.

In addition, in this embodiment, when lying on the side, it is preferable to keep the neck and lumbar bones in a straight line. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6 , the support part 20 of the pillow 1, the lower end 24, is on the floor. It is enough to use the pillow in a state where it is positioned so that the height of the top surface 12 of the headrest 10 at this time is 11 to 14 cm as described in FIG. 4, and the protruding part of the support 20, that is, the support 20 ), as the upper part 22 protrudes upward, it effectively prevents the head from being pulled forward, thereby preventing the neck muscles from being excessively stretched and at the same time keeping the face still so that the load is not applied to the shoulder. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a more comfortable sleeping position on the side, thereby improving the quality of sleep for a person who sleeps on the side, and has the advantage of alleviating pain in the musculoskeletal system that may occur during sleep.

7 shows a state in which the multi-purpose pillow 1 of this embodiment is used as a foot pillow, even when the foot is cut, the foot does not pass from side to side by the protruding support parts 20 on the left and right, and maintains a naturally erected state. Therefore, it can help relieve lower body fatigue.
