Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pillow, which has been specially conceived as a therapeutic element, to offer an ideal support base for the user's head, neck and shoulders, during sleep.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a pillow that, in addition to offering the user an anatomical or ergonomic configuration for a correct body support on the same, offers optimum comfort benefits that remain virtually unchanged over time, which also they maintain when the user changes posture, that is, whether the user adopts a dorsal support posture, or if he rests sideways.
  • conventional pillows adopt an elliptical section, which is by no means the most suitable to provide adequate anatomical support and an alignment of the head and spine, specifically in the cervical area or corresponding to the neck, so that they provide poor support to the user during suefb.
  • the support of the head on this type of pillows is irregular in general and can result from a more or less pronounced discomfort, to an exacerbation of pre-existing lesions in the cervical area of the spine.
  • the human cervical spine is not straight, but forms a lordic curvature due to the trapezoidal profile of the neck vertebrae.
  • Degenerative changes due to age tend to cause the vertebrae to compress causing arthritis and other diseases.
  • the flexions of the neck and / or extension glands cause swelling of the tissue in which the nerves that emerge from the intervertebral spaces can act and cause pain.
  • an abnormal posture determines an inadequate support of the neck and head, which can lead to the aforementioned problems, resulting from excessive flexion, a relatively heavy rotation or extension of the head, etc.
  • conventional pillows are either too thick and tall, causing the aforementioned "chin to the chest” posture and excessively flexing the cervical spine, or too low and soft, leaving the head and neck without lateral support and vertical
  • Conventional pillows offer no structural adaptability to compensate for these support differences.
  • pillows specially configured for this purpose have been disseminated, such as the one described in the utility model espafbl 202.125, which has an anterior half enhanced by gentle curvature, with respect to its posterior half, substantially flattened and of lower height.
  • the purpose of this pillow is to provide adequate support for the head and cervical spine, ensuring adequate alignment of these elements and avoiding forced positions and, therefore, different stresses that occur due to inappropriate positions during sleep. .
  • this pillow is limited by the deformation of the comfort profile, becoming completely flattened, and the discomfort that the user, when sleeping, unconsciously changes position on the pillow, losing the arch that supports the cervical area, which avoids taking advantage of the advantages it provides.
  • conventional pillows do not offer any type of adjustability to adapt the support to the particular anatomical characteristics of the user or to the variations of the sleeping surface.
  • pillows are usually only offered as a one-size configuration. The fact is that the constitution of an athlete is quite different from that of a child or an elder. The width of the shoulders, the size of the head and the size of the neck can vary greatly between individuals.
  • a pillow that provides adequate support and height for a head of a small girl sleeping on its side would probably not provide a suitable support or height for a muscular male athlete sleeping on his side, with a broad shoulder width, which Raise your head a greater distance from the sleeping surface.
  • some individuals like to sleep on their side while others like to sleep on their backs or on their stomachs. Each of these positions places the head in a different position and at a different height from the sleeping surface.
  • the position of the head having to necessarily adjust to the conditions of the pillow, would act on the positioning of the spine and, more specifically, of the cervical area, depending on the volume and Firmness qualities of the pillow we use.
  • the ergonomic pillow that the invention proposes solves in a completely satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, providing a better support for the head and neck during sleep, benefits that are maintained regardless of the position, body of the user on the body. same, which allows a constant isobar rich contact and therefore, a decrease of 80% of unconscious turns in the search for a better position, producing a considerable increase in the comfort of the suefb.
  • said ergonomic pillow has a body in which two extreme, cylindrical and equal sectors are defined, related to each other by means of an intermediate and prismatic sector, of considerably smaller height, so that the pillow constitutes a reversible element, that is to say, usable interchangeably by one or the other of its faces.
  • the cylindrical sector closest to the user's body acts as a seating area for the neck of the user, both when it is located in a supine position and when it is in a lateral decubitus position, while also in both positions the sector Intermediate and prismatic acts as a support surface for the head, support that is not deformable by the elastic contraction of the constituent material of the pillow, as happens at the level of the cylindrical sector, but also is also deformable by its own flexibility, through a buckling effect.
  • the pillow can be configured by the user himself in what affects his elastic response and his height, which is ultimately what determines his most suitable use according to tastes or needs, being achieved with the invention that now concerns us, provide the pillow in question with greater or lesser firmness and providing personalized support for the head and neck during sleep.
  • said pillow is structured from defined sections or basic structures.
  • the first of these is the outer or semi-pillow section, which is configured from sectioning said ergonomic pillow by the horizontal symmetry axis.
  • the other basic structure is made up of a rectangular laminar section of smaller height than the previous one.
  • the upper external section acts as a support surface for the head and neck and due to the body weight itself, a deformation of the elastic contraction of the pillow's constituent material occurs, this deformation also occurs in all juxtaposed sections.
  • This effect of elastic deformation in the juxtaposed sections means that, in a situation of use, channels that allow the generation of convection currents that help dissipate the heat generated by the user's body are generated on the faces in contact between these sections.
  • the sections have a consistency that varies depending on the material that compose them, defined by their cost, two classifications of materials.

  • the body weight itself causes the lower channel (8) initially defined by the lower height of the prism sector (3) than the cylindrical sectors (1) and (2), to deform until it contacts the middle area with the support surface of the pillow, defining with said surface, after buckling, a pair of aeration channels (9) and (10), through which currents of convention are produced that help dissipate the heat provided by the body.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un oreiller ergonomique formé d'un corps au profil modulaire, comprenant deux sections latérales cylindriques et une section intermédiaire présentant une configuration prismatique et une hauteur sensiblement inférieure, avec des caractéristiques d'élasticité appropriées de façon que lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sa tête, dans n'importe quelle position, une pression égale soit exercée sur toute la surface de contact. L'oreiller peut présenter une structure modulaire basée sur deux éléments de base, un demi-oreiller et une section laminaire, dont le nombre et la forme peuvent être sélectionnés en fonction de la hauteur et de l'élasticité désirée.
