Cervical spine close sleeping pillow

The present invention relates to a functional sleep pillow that allows to take a good night's sleep, and more specifically, to sleep in various forms, namely, a type of sleeping smoothly (hereinafter referred to as "normal posture sleep") or sleeping on the side The present invention relates to a functional pillow that can be used as a single pillow regardless of the type, and can be used in spite of the diversity of the sleeper's body type.

Humans use about one third of their lives as sleep, and modern people have been aware of the importance of sleep, and there has been a continuous demand for a good night's sleep.

Students and office workers tend to prefer necks with high necks, curved backs, and pillows due to prolonged computer work or watching TV. Even if you take a lot of modern people complain of fatigue, the importance of the pillow will be even greater.

Despite these problems, there are many studies on functional pillows that can induce more comfortable sleep through ergonomic analysis, but it is difficult to find natural pillows that can be used in practice. The present invention has been made in view of the fact that it is not possible to recover from fatigue in a timely manner.

In general, a pillow is generally used in a round painless shape, which is manufactured without considering the user's sleeping habits or physical conditions, thereby compressing the cervical spine, back, shoulder muscles, and preventing blood circulation. It did not function enough to induce a comfortable sleep, such as causing a bending phenomenon.

In relation to the hardness of the pillow, some people use a very hard pillow such as a needle, or vice versa, which is caused by a lack of understanding of pillow science. Problems leading to muscle fatigue, etc. were also used.

It is a first object of the present invention to provide a functional pillow that can separate the neck support member and the head support member and adjust the height of the pillow according to the habit of sleeping.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a functional pillow capable of applying additional cervical stimulation at the same time as close to the maximum along the body flexion near the cervical spine.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a functional pillow that fully reflects the ergonomics by efficiently filling the space between the chin and the shoulder while lying on its side.

It is a fourth object of the present invention to provide a functional pillow that can take various forms of sleep according to the sleeper's choice by changing the shape and position of the pillow by simple operation.

The method for solving the above problem is as follows.

In the functional sleep pillow of the cervical vertebrae contact type,

The sleep pillow includes a head support member, a neck support member provided separately from the head support member, and a connection means connecting the head support member to the neck support member.

The headrest member supports the larynx of the sleeper and is partitioned into three regions, the middle region of which forms a laryngeal rest portion filled with filler.

The headrest side members are connected to both sides of the laryngeal support part, and the filling material is formed at the same height or higher than the laryngeal support part, and at the same time, the headrest side member ends are formed to protrude to form the chin and the shoulder space filling part. do.

The neck support member, including the cervical spine contact portion and the buffer portion to be in close contact with the cervical spine of the sleeper, the upper portion is composed of a cervical spine contact portion formed by filling the inside of the net or mesh means such as mesh (mesh), the lower portion Cervical contact functional sleep pillow is characterized in that the cushion portion having a predetermined elastic force is formed.

The surface shape of the cervical vertebral adherence portion, when viewed on the basis of the cross section, is provided with a protrusion in which the filler protrudes and a recess, which is a space between the protrusions, to improve cervical stimulation function.

Functional sleep pillow of the present invention can be implemented in addition to the above-described structure by introducing both the neck support member and the head support member using the outer shell.

That is, the headrest member is formed to include a headrest member which is provided separately from the headrest member, and an outer shell capable of receiving the headrest member and the neckrest member.
