Description

Head and neck cushion structure

The present invention relates to a head and neck pillow structure, and more particularly to a head and neck pillow structure which can naturally relax the muscles around the head and neck due to sufficient support.

It is well known that the cervical vertebra has a total of 7 knots. The first cervical vertebra is mainly for the blood vessels of the human brain. If damage occurs, it may cause headache, nervousness, insomnia, head chills, high blood pressure, amnesia, chronic fatigue, halo. Symptoms such as glare, migraine, vertigo, facial paralysis or hypothermia. The second section of the cervical vertebra is mainly corresponding to the human eye. If damage occurs, there may be sinusitis, allergies, tinnitus, pain around the ear, dizziness, decreased vision, strabismus, deafness, migraine, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, urination. Abnormal, high blood pressure or insomnia. The third cervical vertebra corresponds to the human cheek, outer ear, facial bone and trigeminal nerve. If damage occurs, trigeminal neuralgia, neuritis, acne, eczema, foreign body sensation of the throat, chest tightness, neck pain, toothache and hyperthyroidism may occur. . The fourth cervical vertebra mainly corresponds to the nose, lips, mouth, throat and other parts of the human body. If the injury occurs, it may cause runny nose, deafness, tonsil enlargement, throat foreign body sensation, chest tightness, shoulder pain, toothache, snoring, hyperthyroidism or Deafness and other symptoms. The fifth cervical vertebra mainly corresponds to the vocal cords, glands, throats and other parts of the human body. If damage occurs, it may cause pharyngitis, hoarseness, dizziness, decreased vision, rapid or slow tachycardia, upper arm pain, lower limb paralysis, allergies. Rhinitis or neurasthenia and other symptoms. The sixth cervical vertebra mainly corresponds to the neck muscles, shoulders and tonsils of the human body. If the injury occurs, symptoms such as upper limb pain, chronic cough, shoulder and neck pain or arrhythmia may occur. The seventh cervical vertebra mainly corresponds to the shoulder joint and the elbow joint of the human body. If the injury occurs, symptoms such as synovitis, chills, thyroid disease, hypotension, arrhythmia, and numbness of the upper limbs may occur.

Therefore, the health of the cervical spine is very important. However, in the modern living environment, no matter work or leisure, many people often need to sit in a fixed position to work or take transportation, whether it is work or transportation. When using a computer or other movements in the process, the head will always bend forward or backward, but due to poor posture, the muscles will be too tight, and more serious will be caused by the tensioned muscles to the brain. Pressure is applied to the blood vessels of the part, which will hinder the smooth blood circulation of the brain. Next, people will be confused and their attention will not be concentrated and become weak.

In addition, when the neck is kept bent forward or backward for a long time, since the cervical vertebra is not fully supported, it is easy to cause the cervical vertebrae to be injured if the posture is maintained for such a long time, and the natural posture of the cervical vertebra is kept at a certain curvature. Support, but when the forward or backward bending is too large, the muscles around the human cervical spine will naturally grasp the cervical vertebrae to avoid the collapse of the cervical vertebrae, and the muscles will naturally force the cervical vertebrae, which will inevitably cause muscle stiffness. Therefore, the above bad situation will occur.

In order to solve the above-mentioned defects, there is a neck pillow, as shown in Figure 6, which is a schematic view of the neck pillow. The conventional neck pillow 8 usually has a U-shape, which is filled with memory foam or styrofoam or other foam. Body or cotton. The main function of the conventional neck pillow 8 is to allow the user to rest during a long journey, such as taking an airplane, a train, driving, etc., by using the U-shaped neck pillow around the neck 71 of the user 7 for use. The head 7 of the person 7 can rest on the neck pillow 8. However, the conventional neck pillow 8 does not have a supporting force due to the filling material used. When the head 72 lies against the neck pillow 8, the neck pillow 8 cannot support the weight of the head 72, and exhibits a concave collapse 81. The state of the head 72 is not stably supported by the neck pillow 8. For a long time of use, the head 72 and the neck 71 are uncomfortable, which may cause damage to the cervical vertebra 711 or a stiffening condition, which is necessary for improvement. .

Therefore, how to reduce the support burden of the cervical vertebra and let the muscles around the cervical vertebrae relax naturally is very important. Therefore, if the neck and neck cushion structure can be used, the head and neck can be adequately supported so that the muscles around the head and neck are adequately received. The support can be naturally relaxed, and it will be able to avoid the sequelae caused by cervical spine injury caused by poor posture or muscle stiffness around the cervical vertebrae, so the present invention should be an optimal solution.
