Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a functional pillow.
  • a pillow When the user is sleeping or resting, a pillow performs the functions of sustaining the head to induce sound sleep, as well as of providing stability in the user's body by protecting the cervical vertebrae and thus facilitating respiration and blood circulation.
  • a typical pillow is shaped such that, when the user is lying straight, the head and the neck areas having different heights are sustained to a particular height.
  • the typical pillow thus simply pushes the neck from the back to the front, and barely performs its function merely as simple bedding equipment.
  • the typical pillow does not include considerations for the characteristics of the body, so that even though the distances from the floor to the shoulder, head, and neck are different from one another, for both cases of the user lying straight and lying on one's side, the typical pillow has a constant height and fixed form and is thus very uncomfortable to use.
  • the person sleeping may roll about while sleeping, and may sleep on one's side, resulting in the ear portion being pressed and constricted.
  • An aspect of the present aims to provide a functional pillow, which sustains the neck in a stable manner to reduce fatigue when sleeping, and which does not press against the ear when the head is positioned on its side.
  • One aspect of the present invention provides a pillow that includes an inner member, an outer member that envelopes the inner member, and a cushion member filled between the outer member and the inner member, where the inner member is such that has a predetermined volume to sustain a head and neck of a user and includes a neck support portion that supports the neck, a head indentation of a predetermined depth, and an ear indentation formed on either side of the head indentation that serves as a space in which an ear can be positioned when the head is turned from a straight position in the head indentation to the side.
  • acupressure protrusions may be formed that provide acupressure on the portion where the head and the neck are connected.
  • the cushion member can include cotton or down.
  • a pillow can be provided which not only sustains the neck in a comfortable manner when the user is sleeping in a straight position, but also does not press against the ear when the user lies on one's side. Also, a pillow may be provided that softly stimulates the back portion of the neck to facilitate the flow of blood.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of an inner member of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is an example diagram illustrating the use of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention when the head is placed in a straight position.
  • Figure 4 is an example diagram illustrating the use of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention when the head is placed on its side.
  • Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view across portion A of Figure 1.
  • a pillow includes an inner member, an outer member that envelopes the inner member, and a cushion member filled between the outer member and the inner member, where the inner member is such that has a predetermined volume to sustain a head and neck of a user and includes a neck support portion that supports the neck, a head indentation of a predetermined depth, and an ear indentation formed on either side of the head indentation that serves as a space in which an ear can be positioned when the head is turned from a straight position in the head indentation to the side.

  • Figure 4 is an example diagram illustrating the use of a pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention when the head is placed on its side
  • Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view across portion A of Figure 1.
  • a pillow 10 an inner member 11, an outer member 12, a cushion member 13, a head indentation 111, ear indentations 112, acupressure protrusions 113, 117, a connecting member 114, a neck support portion 115, and side head support portions 116 are illustrated.
  • the pillow 10 may be almost identical in appearance to a regular pillow.
  • the inner member 11 inside can provide a functional difference from the regular pillow.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the inner member 11, where the inner member 11 can have a neck support portion 115 protruding out such that, when the head is placed in the head indentation 111, the neck is maintained at a particular height from the floor. Also, the curve of the neck support portion 115 can be made to be in correspondence with the curve of the cervical vertebrae, so that the cervical vertebrae can be comfortably relaxed.
  • the inner member 11 may have a double layer of cotton members made of fabric, and may have husks or buckwheat, etc., stuffed inside to maintain a volume capable of sustaining the head. By way of this structure, the side head support portions 116, as well as the neck support portion 115, can maintain a particular volume.
  • a head indentation 111 can be formed in the inner member 11 at a point where the head may be placed in a straight position.
  • Around the head indentation 111 there can be side head support portions 116 of a predetermined height.
  • the side head support portions 116 maintain a particular height, and the head indentation 111 secures a space in which the head can be held, so that when a person's head is placed in a straight position during sleep, it can be positioned in close contact in the head indentation 111 in a stable manner.
  • Acupressure protrusions 113, 117 may be formed around the head indentation 111.
  • the acupressure protrusions 113, 117 may protrude outwards at the portion where the head and the neck are connected. Stimulating the cervical vertebrae at the portion where the head and neck are connected may facilitate blood circulation, and may also reduce fatigue, as the muscles and ligaments of the portion where acupressure is applied may be relaxed.
  • the acupressure protrusions 113, 117 are formed mainly on the lower portion of the head indentation 111. This is because the lower portion of the head indentation 111 is the portion where the head and neck are connected, when a person lies down in a straight position.
  • the ear can enter an ear indentation 112 without being pressed, when the head moves from a straight position onto its side.
  • the ear may be carried inside the ear indentation 112, the ear need not be constricted, even when sleeping on one's side.
  • the ear indentations 112 may be formed in consideration of the points where the head would be positioned when moved from a straight position to its side.
  • the ear may enter the ear indentation 112 when the head is positioned on its side.
  • a user is offered comfortable sleep, without having one's ear pressed.
  • a connecting member 114 can be formed at the edge of the inner member 11.
  • the connecting member 114 may serve to connect the outer member 12 and the inner member 11.
  • the connecting member 114 can advantageously be formed together when forming the inner member 11.
  • a specific method of forming the connecting member 114 can include preparing two layers of rectangular fabric to face each other, filling the inside with a material occupying a volume, and sewing the fabric together.
  • a cushion member 13 can be filled in between the inner member 11 and the outer member 12.
  • the cushion member 13 can be of a material generally used in manufacturing a pillow 10, and can include down, such as duck down and goose down, cotton, etc.
  • the pillow according to certain embodiments of the invention is made to correspond with the form of the head portion of the human body.
  • the pillow can thus maintain the cervical vertebrae in a natural form while the user is sleeping. Therefore, the pillow can be used medically for orthopedic purposes. It can also be used as a home product to provide a comfortable sleeping experience.
