Abstract

An infant pillow having a head shape function includes: a body made of an elastic material to form a long exterior, and having an elastic filler provided therein; a head shape correction film provided in the inner center of the body to support the head of an infant when used while kept tight in a state in which the body is formed into a U-shape by being bent in a middle part; and fixing/binding units provided at both ends of the body respectively, to be coupled with each other such that the body is kept bent in the U-shape. The body is provided to have a length by which the whole body of the infant can be surrounded inward when the body is bent in the U-shape and used. Accordingly, since the whole body of the infant is surrounded inward and a head part is comfortably seated and supported, the infant pillow can help the infant to comfortably fall asleep, lying on his or her side, and can correct an inclined head shape or a flat head shape, and also, since a fixing means fixing the shape surrounding the body of the infant is made to be conveniently bound to both ends of the cushion body, the cushion body can be stably kept bent in the U-shape. Moreover, since a binding position of the fixing means is made to be adjusted by growth stage, the head shape correction can be constantly performed in accordance with a growth stage as the infant grows up.

Description

Pillow for infants with head correction function {infant pillow for cranial correction}

The present invention relates to a pillow for infants and young children having a head shape correction function, and more particularly, the entire body of infants and young children is wrapped inside and the head part is comfortably seated and supported to help infants and young children sleep comfortably on their side, Even in the case of a flat head, the head can be corrected correctly, and the fixing means that fixes the shape surrounding the body of infants is easily bound at both ends of the cushion body, so that the cushion body is bent in a 'U' shape so that the state of use is stable. It relates to a pillow for infants and young children having a head correction function that can be maintained and the binding position of the fixing means is adjusted according to the growth stage so that the head correction is steadily and effectively performed according to the growth stage as the infant grows.

In the case of newborns, they have the most rapid growth period during the first year immediately after birth, and at this time, their weight reaches about 10 kg, which is 3 times that at the time of birth, and their height grows 1.5 times. After that, their weight increases rapidly. It slows down and gains only about 2 kg more by the age of 2 years.

On the other hand, immediately after birth, the newborn's head is about 1/4 of the body length, the head circumference is the same as the shoulder circumference, and the leg length is only about 3/8 of the body.

Such developmental patterns of newborns indicate that the brain plays a large role in maintaining human life. After that, it grows in an almost flat line.

In particular, in the case of newborn babies, the bones that make up the skeleton of the head are not yet hardened and are in a soft state, so hard pillows or cotton pillows cannot be used, and artificial pillows The top of the head must be concave and used for a considerable period of time so that the shape of the back of the head of the newborn is rounded.

As a pillow used according to the growth characteristics of such newborns, millet pillows containing millet are usually used. In the case of the millet pillows for newborns on the market, all millet pillows for newborns are used only for about 3 months, and then the newborn's head As the shape hardened and rapidly increased, it could no longer be used and was discarded, and then a separate pillow for infants and toddlers had to be purchased and used.

In this way, in the case of conventional millet pillows for newborns, discarding after use for a short period of time causes an increase in childcare costs, such as excessive purchase costs due to waste of resources and frequent replacement of pillows.

An example of a pillow for infants and toddlers according to the prior art is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1934041 (registered on December 24, 2018, hereinafter referred to as 'Patent Document 1').

However, even in the case of infants, the size of the pillow must be adjusted from time to time according to the size of the head that shows rapid growth. There are problems such as hindering the growth of newborns, such as interfering with the development of the cervical vertebrae in the neck area that connects the head and spine.

In addition, in the case of newborns, when they are awake, they instinctively take out their hands and feet for exercise, and struggle even during sleep. There is a problem in that the fear of safety accidents such as the back increases, and in the case of infants, they feel stuffy and unconsciously kick the blanket, so they suffer from a cold or colic.
