Description

The inventive utility model relates to the field of medicine, namely to devices for fixing the position of the human body or its parts, in particular, orthopedic pillows, and can be used for use in medical institutions and at home for the correct and comfortable location of the head and cervicothoracic region spine, both adult and child during sleep or rest.

Orthopedic pillow is known from the prior art (RU, PM No. 30532, “Orthopedic pillow”, IPC A47G 9/10, A61F 5/37, A61G 7/0, dated March 19, 2003, published on July 10, 2003).

The pillow is orthopedic, made of an elastic material in the form of a support element with a flat rectangular base and a curly upper surface with a protrusion on one of their end sides, forming a support for the neck. The upper surface has a wavy shape with protrusions of various heights and is equipped with longitudinal grooves of a shaped profile uniformly distributed over the entire width of the upper surface with the formation of rollers, and the front and rear end surfaces are inclined and have arched recesses in the lower part and rounded upper edges.

The disadvantage of the pillow is that it can be used only in one position, in addition, it has a rather complicated design, such as a glued cover with massage protrusions, longitudinal grooves, etc.

The pillow is orthopedic, made of an elastically elastic material that restores its original shape after being crimped and having a time to restore its shape after unloading from 2 to 10 seconds. The pillow contains a flat rectangular base with a curved curvilinear wave-like upper surface with wave-like tides of different heights adapted to cervical curvature of the human head at the edges located on two parallel sides, forming a support for the neck, with a change in curvature by smooth conjugation of surfaces. The pillow is equipped with an inflatable element located inside the tide of a higher height, located parallel to one of the sides and equipped with a hose with a pumping and air bleeding valve, while the entire pillow is molded integrally with smooth conjugation of each of the adjacent surfaces with the inflatable element chamber located previously inside it.

The disadvantage of this pillow is that it can be used in one position and the presence of an inflatable element complicates its design.

The pillow contains a support element with a flat rectangular base and a wave-shaped upper surface. The upper wavy surface is made with a rounded indentation with mating lower, side and upper surfaces for the biometric parameters of the child’s head, located closer to one of the sides of the rectangular base. Between the recess and the edge of the pillow is made roller, which serves to support the neck. The protrusion-roller is made under the biometric parameters of the cervicobrachial or cervical-dorsal region of the child, the edges of the pillow are made curved with rounding of the upper edge and smoothly conjugated with a flat base.

The specified pillow can be used as a pillow for sleeping, but it does not have orthopedic properties.

The orthopedic pillow is made rectangular in shape with side surfaces, supporting surfaces and with a figured cushion under the neck on the elongated edge of one of the supporting surfaces. The pillow is made of foamed viscoelastic polyurethane with a filling density of 30-150 g / cm ³ , nanoconstructed by metal ions, and has a straight side surface connected to the working surface of the figured roller, or a side surface connected to the working surface of the figured roller, made in the form of an arcuate recess under the shoulder, or a side surface connected to the working surface of the figured roller, made with an arcuate recess under the shoulder, while the opposite side surface is connected to GOVERNMENTAL conjugation radiused surfaces and has a flat shape or an arcuate shape, or flat shape with a bevel.

The disadvantages of the pillow include the fact that it can be used only in one position, in addition, it has a flat working surface, which does not contribute to the comfortable location of the cervicothoracic region on its surface.

Known orthopedic pillow (RU, PM No. 51843, "Orthopedic pillow", IPC A47G 9/10, A61F 5/37, dated September 14, 2005, published on March 10, 2006).

The orthopedic pillow has a flat base and a protrusion on its upper surface. The protrusion forms a support for the human neck and is placed with an offset to one of the edges of the pillow along the line of placement of the cervical spine (head - neck) of the person. The protrusion on the upper surface of the pillow is made concave-convex with a change in curvature to the opposite, and passing under the flat base of the pillow with a bevel under the biometric parameters of the cervicobrachial or cervical-dorsal region of a person. Opposite to the protrusion of the protrusion, the edge of the pillow along the line of placement of the cervical spine (head-neck) of a person is made curved with rounding of the upper edge, and smoothly conjugated with a flat base or passing to a flat base at an angle.

This pillow can only be used in one position, because has a convex-concave protrusion only on one of the sides, in addition, between the protrusion and the upper surface there is a rather large difference in height, which does not provide a comfortable arrangement of the cervicothoracic region.

The above utility model is selected by the applicant as a prototype, as having the greatest number of features aimed at solving a similar problem.

The task to which the claimed utility model is directed is to create a new orthopedic pillow that provides increased comfort, relaxation of the neck muscles, the correct location of the spine, both adult and child, during sleep or rest, in a position both on the back and on sideways.

The technical result is to expand the functionality of the orthopedic pillow by creating a special shape, in the form of a “butterfly”, providing the use of both the upper and lateral surfaces for a comfortable location of the head and cervicothoracic region of the spine in position, both on the back and on the side - due to muscle relaxation in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the spine.

The technical result is achieved in that in an orthopedic pillow for children and adults, containing a base, upper surface and side surfaces connecting the upper surface with the base, while the upper and side surfaces have convex-concave protrusions that are smoothly connected to each other, according to the utility model, both the upper and lateral surfaces of the pillow are concave in the center and convex at the edges, and the protrusions of the opposite left and right side surfaces are symmetrically made with the same dimensions, while the side surfaces of the pillow located in front and behind the product have different lengths and bulges of different heights.

Through holes are made on the upper concave surface.

The pillow is made of cold formed polyurethane foam.

The pillow is made of hot molded polyurethane foam

The implementation of both the upper and lateral surfaces concave in the center and convex at the edges allows you to create a recess not for the upper surface for comfortable placement of the head, but concavity on the side surfaces for placing the shoulders of both an adult and a child in a position both on the back and and on the side.

The protrusion of the opposing left and right side surfaces is symmetrical with the same dimensions, and the side surfaces located in front and behind the product of different lengths and bulges of different heights allows you to form a pillow in a shape resembling a “butterfly”, which ensures the expansion of its functionality, due to that the lateral surface of greater length and with protrusions of greater height allows you to use it for comfortable placement of the cervicothoracic region and shoulder girdles during sleep on the side, and less for ina and protrusions of a lower height - during sleep on the back, by relieving tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders, which improves blood supply to the brain, relieves headaches, dizziness and numbness in the hands, promotes normal breathing during sleep or rest.

The implementation of through holes on the concave part of the upper surface of the cushion allows for air permeability, which prevents the accumulation of heat and moisture on its surface and creates comfortable conditions for moisture and heat transfer, and also helps to create a less rigid surface, which increases comfort for the consumer.

The manufacture of pillows made of flexible polyurethane foam by cold molding allows you to get a denser structure, due to which it can be used to a greater extent for the treatment of various diseases of the spine, since the dense "roller" located under the neck prevents "bending", fixing the cervical spine in the right position.

In the case of manufacturing a half of elastic polyurethane foam by hot molding, the product is less dense and has the so-called “shape memory effect”, due to which the cushion “adjusts” to the user's parameters. Products made of this material are characterized by increased comfort and, supporting the cervical spine in the correct position, contribute to the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. At the same time, pillows with the effect of “shape memory” are not recommended for patients with severe pathology of the cervical spine (in particular, torticollis), since in this case the surface of the pillow will take on a deliberately irregular shape. For such patients, only dense orthopedic pillows obtained by cold forming are recommended.

The applicant conducted a patent information search on this topic, as a result of which no technical solutions with the claimed combination of features were identified, which allows us to conclude that the claimed utility model meets the patentability condition of “novelty”.

The inventive device can be used in medical institutions and in everyday life for the correct and comfortable location of the head and cervicothoracic region of the spine, both an adult and a child, during sleep or rest, which corresponds to the patentability condition "industrial applicability".

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 is a general view of an orthopedic pillow; in FIG. 2 is a side view of an orthopedic pillow.

The orthopedic pillow for children and adults contains a base 1, a convex-concave upper surface 2, a concave left side surface 3, with protrusions 4, a concave right side surface 5, with protrusions 6, a concave front side surface 7, with bulges 8, a concave rear side a surface 9 with bulges 10. On the concave part of the upper surface 2, through holes 11 are made.

The proposed orthopedic pillow is used as follows.

For people who prefer to sleep on their sides, use a pillow on the side of the longer concave rear side surface 9 with bulges 10. Moreover, the head is placed on the concave part of the upper surface 2, the shoulders between the bulges 10, the shoulders along the concavity of the side surface 9. B In this case, when choosing a product of the appropriate size, you must first measure the length of the consumer’s shoulder.

For people who prefer to sleep on their backs, use a concave front side surface 7 having a shorter length with bulges 8. The head is placed on the concave part of the upper surface 2, the shoulders between the protrusions are bulges 8. The shoulders are along the concavity of the side surface 7.

Thus, the claimed orthopedic pillow allows you to expand its functionality by creating a special shape in the form of a "butterfly", which provides the use of both the upper and lateral surfaces for a comfortable location of the head and cervicothoracic region of the spine in a position both on the back and and on the side in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the spine, by relieving tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders, which improves blood supply to the brain, relieves headaches, dizziness and numbness in the hands, promotes t normal breathing during sleep or rest.
