Functional pillow for head support and cervical spine acupressure

The present invention relates to a functional pillow for head support and cervical acupressure, and more specifically, a first region supporting the back of the head, a second region supporting the upper part of the head, a third region supporting the left side of the head, and divided into five regions consisting of a fourth region supporting the right side and a fifth region supporting the cervical vertebrae; the fifth region is configured to insert or withdraw the cervical vertebrae support member filled with the second filler; The second filler relates to a functional pillow for head support and cervical acupressure configured to be filled with a filler that is 2 to 4 times greater than the hardness of the first filler filled in the first to fourth regions.

Humans spend 1/3 of their life sleeping, but sleep time is shortened due to overwork and stress, and the quality of sleep is also deteriorated due to excessive caffeine intake and prolonged smartphone use. have. It is important to get the right amount of sleep for a certain period of time because adequate sleep restores the tired brain and body and makes various functions of the body, such as memory, learning ability, growth and development, immunity, etc. healthy.

Human cervical vertebrae (cervical vertebrae) are in the shape of a C-shaped curve to withstand the weight of the head when standing normally and to act as a buffer. can People use pillows to sleep for this purpose, but using the wrong pillow does not support the cervical vertebrae and makes the shape unnatural. It is necessary to use a type of pillow.

Tossing and turning during sleep is a natural phenomenon of the human body, and it is known that people unconsciously toss and turn 20 to 30 times during one night, or about 8,000 times a year. Tossing and turning has the effect of regulating body temperature by lowering the temperature of the core and promoting blood circulation for a good night's sleep. However, if the pillow used for sleeping does not support the neck properly due to tossing and turning or does not support the shoulder properly, it may also make it difficult to sleep and the health of the neck may deteriorate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a functional pillow that supports the neck and supports the shoulder.

Conventionally, as described above, the technology for a functional pillow for good sleep and neck health is known. Specifically, Korean Patent Registration No. 1942470 relates to a functional pillow with improved body fit, and to prevent the user's head from deviated from the pillow by configuring the height of both sides of the pillow higher than the portion where the neck and head of the pillow touch. characterized in that it is composed. However, the functional pillow is not suitable for fixing the head because the difference between the height of the part in contact with the head and the height of both sides is not large.

On the other hand, an increasing number of patients complain of neck pain caused by stress, fatigue, prolonged use of smartphones, etc. as well as incorrect use of pillows, and acupressure is one of the methods to relieve such pain. Acupressure relieves neck pain by relieving stiff neck muscles or pressing painful areas to facilitate blood circulation, thereby softening the neck muscles and correcting the neck skeleton.

A technology related to a functional pillow for relieving neck pain through acupressure has been disclosed. Specifically, Korea Patent No. 0718338 relates to a pillow for preventing stiffening of the cervical spine and stiff shoulders, which protects the cervical spine by varying the height of the support part of the pillow, and maximizes user convenience by adjusting the hardness of the filler embedded in the pillow characterized by one. However, in the above document, fillers having different hardnesses are injected into all parts (upper part, lower part, left part and right part) where the head is in contact. In this case, it can be used simply for acupressure, but It is not good enough for use as a pillow.

On the other hand, aromatherapy is an aromatherapy treatment using scented plants. Aromatic ingredients derived from flowers or trees can promote mental and physical health and beauty, so you can promote and maintain mental and physical health through aromatherapy. In addition, since aromatherapy is known to be effective in insomnia, aromatherapy during sleep can help you get a good night's sleep, and when combined with a pillow, it will be able to exert a synergistic effect of good sleep.

Accordingly, the present inventors have made intensive research efforts to overcome the problems of the prior art, as a result of which the first region supporting the back of the head, the second region supporting the upper part of the head, the third region supporting the left side of the head, the head is divided into five regions consisting of a fourth region supporting the right side of the vertebrae and a fifth region supporting the cervical vertebrae; the fifth region is configured to insert or withdraw the cervical vertebrae support member filled with the second filler; In the case of a functional pillow configured so that the second filler is filled with a filler that is 2 to 4 times larger than the hardness of the first filler filled in the first to fourth regions, it is possible to sleep comfortably in the correct posture by supporting and fixing the head. The fifth region supporting the cervical vertebrae is filled with a high-hardness filler to give acupressure effects, so it is confirmed that the neck pain can be relieved by softening the muscles of the cervical vertebrae and correcting the cervical vertebrae skeleton. invention was completed.

4 is a side cross-sectional view of the functional pillow 10 for head support and cervical vertebra acupressure according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in the functional pillow 10 for head support and cervical acupressure according to the present invention, the height of the third region 13 is called H3, the height of the fourth region 14 is called H4, and the fifth When the height of the region 15 is H5, H3 and H4 are formed higher than H5. That is, the heights of the third region 13 and the fourth region 14 are higher than those of the fifth region 15 . In addition, H3 and H4 are the heights of the outermost portions of the third region 13 and the fourth region 14 , and the heights of the innermost portions of the third region 13 and the fourth region 14 are H3′, respectively. and H4', and H3' and H4' are the same as H5 and/or H2. That is, the heights of the third region and the fourth region are formed to increase from the inside to the outside. Thus, the user supports the shoulder when lying on the side during sleep, and supports the head so that the head does not come out on the pillow by tossing and turning, so that the user can sleep in a stable and correct posture. Also, H3 and H4 are preferably formed 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than H1. That is, when H1 is 7 cm, H3 and H4 may be 17.5 cm to 24.5 cm.

In the functional pillow 10 for head support and cervical spine pressure according to the present invention, the height of the first area 11 is referred to as H1, the height of the fifth area 15 is referred to as H5, and the height of the second area 12 is referred to as the height of the second area 12 . When is H2, H2 is formed higher than H1 and H5. Thus, the user can sleep in a stable and correct posture by supporting the head so that the head does not come out on the pillow by tossing and turning during sleep. In addition, H1 and H5 are formed in the same way, such a configuration is to maintain the user's cervical spine in the form of a C-shaped curve. Specifically, the hardness of the first member filled in the first region 11 having a height of H1 is the hardness of the second filler filled in the cervical spine support member 17 inserted in the fifth region 15 having a height of H5. Because it is smaller, when the user lies down, H1 is lowered by the weight of the head and H5 is maintained by high hardness, so the cervical spine can be maintained in a C-shaped curve shape. If H1 is higher than H5, H1 and H5 are similarly formed when the user is lying down, so the cervical spine cannot be maintained in a C-shaped curve shape. If H5 is higher than H1, H5 is higher than H1 when the user is lying down. Due to the shape in which the cervical vertebrae are bent backward, it may cause strain on the cervical vertebrae. Therefore, it is most preferable that H1 and H5 are identically formed. In addition, the height of H5 can be adjusted according to the user's cervical vertebrae depth by directly controlling the amount of the second filler filled in the cervical vertebrae support member 12 .

As mentioned above, although the present invention has been described with reference to limited embodiments and drawings, the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto, and by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, the technical spirit of the present invention Various modifications and variations will be possible within the equivalent scope of the claims and the scope of the claims.
