Description
本発明は、この枕の考案者であり、出願人の一人である医学博士 山岡 宏が実際に医療 の現場で患者の各種の症状を診断しその症状に合った枕を勧めていたが、既成の枕に満足 せず人や症状により違うそれぞれ全てにマッチする枕が必要だと痛感していた。枕が原因 でいろいろな病気の原因とも成り得るうえ、タオル1枚の高さを気にする患者もいるので 使用時でも簡単に微調整できる機能を持ち、頸椎を刺激しながらしっかりと支えられるよ うに硬さをを持った棒状の首支えで、頭の位置を多少動かして寝ても枕を移動させて寝た のと同じ感じになるような枕の研究を続けて来たものに製品として改良を加え生み出した ものだ。
本発明は、これに基づき医学的にも健康的にも睡眠に適した枕に関するものである。枕は毎日使うものなので数々の健康に良い、安眠に適していると言う枕が考案、売り出され、使用されている。とは言え頭や首、頚椎などの形状や受ける感覚の度合い、感じる大きさには人それぞれ大きな差があり、誰にでも適合すると言う枕は難しかった。良いと思って、或いは勧められて購入してみたものの以前使用していた枕と比較するくらいで、本当に自分に合った枕かどうかの判断が出来にくかった。その上理想の形状の枕と言えどもその上に理想的な位置で常に頭を置いて寝ていると言うことは有り得ず、首に接する部分の形状が多少の首の移動で連動することが望ましい。データをもとにそれに合った形状を考案。頭、頚椎などにかかる弾力や高さが簡単に調整できるようにバネの強さ、枕の高さをネジ回し一つで微調整して個人個人に最適な枕が提供できるように考案した。更に枕内部の素材だけでなく、首に接する部分の形状もバネの作用で首の移動とある程度連動するような構造を考えた。
In the present invention, Hiroshi Yamaoka, one of the applicants who was the inventor of this pillow and the applicant, actually diagnosed various symptoms of patients at the medical site and recommended a pillow that suits the symptoms. I was not satisfied with my pillow and I felt that I needed a pillow that matched all of them depending on people and symptoms. It can cause various illnesses due to pillows, and there are patients who care about the height of one towel, so it has a function that can be easily fine-tuned even during use, and it can be firmly supported while stimulating the cervical spine As a product that has continued research on pillows that have the same rigidity as if you slept with a stick-shaped neck support with a firmness, even if you move the head position slightly and move the pillow It was created with improvements .
The present invention relates to a pillow suitable for sleeping medically and healthily based on this. Since pillows are used every day, a number of pillows that are good for health and suitable for sleep are devised, marketed, and used. However, there are great differences in the shape of the head, neck, cervical spine, etc., the degree of sensation, and the size of the sensation, and it was difficult to make a pillow that suits everyone. I thought it was good, or I bought it because it was recommended, but it was difficult to judge whether it was the right pillow for me. Moreover, even if it is a pillow with an ideal shape, it is impossible to say that you are always sleeping with your head in the ideal position on it, and the shape of the part that touches the neck can be interlocked by a slight movement of the neck desirable. Based on the data, devise a shape that suits it. In order to easily adjust the elasticity and height of the head, cervical spine, etc., the spring strength and pillow height were fine-tuned with a single screw to provide the optimum pillow for individuals. Furthermore, we considered a structure in which not only the material inside the pillow but also the shape of the part in contact with the neck is linked to the movement of the neck to some extent by the action of the spring.
枕は自分自身で選ぶ、というより与えられた適当な枕を習慣的に自分に合った枕と思い込み使っている人が多かった。確かに枕は多くの形状や素材で作られ、数多くの種類が店頭に並んでいる。実際に家に持ち帰り、1晩づつでも寝て、何種類を試してみないと本当に自分に合っているのかどうかの判断は非常に難しい。然しこれもメーカーや販売店の事情もあり難しい。
一般的に使用している枕の大部分は、単に自分にはこれが合っているのではないかと考えて毎日使っているのではないかと考えるが、本当に自分に合っているのかどうかの判断は非常に難しい。非常に難しいが大部分の人はそれが分からなくても我慢して使っているのが現状で然もこれが毎日である。そこで考え方を変え、一般人に向く医学的に良い枕を作り、各自に合った形状、硬さ、高さに調整できれば、その理想にかなり近付けるのではないかと考えた。 Most of the pillows I use in general are just thinking that this is right for me and I think I use it every day, but it's very difficult to judge whether it really fits me It is difficult. Although it is very difficult, most people still use it even if they don't understand it. Therefore, I changed my mind and thought that if I could make a medically good pillow for the general public and adjust it to the shape, hardness, and height that suits each person, I would come closer to that ideal.
棒状の首支えと台をスプリングで連結することにより、そのスプリングの作用で寝ている時の位置が多少ずれてもフィットし、そのスプリングの中心に傾きとスプリングの強さが自由に調整でき、首支え、台に固定しない心棒を設けた。 By connecting the rod-shaped neck support and the base with a spring, it fits even if the position when sleeping is slightly shifted due to the action of the spring, the tilt and the strength of the spring can be adjusted freely at the center of the spring, A mandrel that supports the neck and is not fixed to the base is provided.
従来の健康に良い、医学的に優れていると称して市販している枕は、頭と首が理想的な位置で乗ってないと効果が弱まる弱点があったが、本案は首に当たる部分をある程度の硬度を持たせ、内蔵するスプリングが上下し、多少の移動が可能になることで枕にほぼ理想的な位置を保ち易くなり、体型を選ばず、程良く快適に首骨(頚椎)を刺激、頚椎の異常な変形の予防と、正常の首骨に戻す効果が期待できるようになった。特に真っ直ぐに伸びた頚椎(ストレートネック)の予防と改善に大きな効果が期待できる。(医学博士 山岡宏 説) Conventional pillows that are marketed as being good for health and medically have a weak point that the effect is weakened if the head and neck are not in the ideal position. It has a certain degree of hardness, the built-in spring moves up and down, and it can move a little, so it is easy to keep the ideal position on the pillow, and you can comfortably comfortably fit the neck bone (cervical vertebrae) without choosing a body shape Stimulation, prevention of abnormal deformation of the cervical spine, and return to normal neck bones can be expected. In particular, a great effect can be expected for prevention and improvement of a straight cervical vertebra (straight neck). (Dr. Hiroshi Yamaoka, MD)
長い方の一辺が高くなっている台(1)の、高くなっている部分に下から途中まで太い穴(5)を2ヶ所あける。更にその先に、使用するナット(6)が自由に動くがナットの 角が引っかかり回転出来ない形状の穴をあけ、更にそれらの中心部に、使用するネジ(4 )より多少太めの穴を貫通させる。別に蒲鉾型でその両端も丸くなっている首支え(2)を設ける。2個のバネ(3)を使い、その真中を貫通するネジで穴を開けた台と首支えを繋ぐが、そのネジの上方は位置が固定で自由に回転でき、下方は台の太い穴の下からナット(6)で止める。但し台とは固定しないので、バネ(3)が左右バランス良く動いて上下し、傾きが出来(図2)頚椎を痛めることがない。
枕をひっくり返し、台の下から太く空いた穴(5)にネジ回しを挿入して高さ、柔軟度 、安定度、左右のバランスを調節する。このネジを止めているナット(6)は調整時は固 定されているのと同じ働きをし、使用時はネジの傾きも可能になり、更に睡眠後の夜中で もネジ回し一つで微調整が可能になった。 Drill two thick holes (5) from the bottom to the middle of the raised part of the longer side (1) . Furthermore, a hole with a shape that the nut (6) to be used moves freely but the corner of the nut is caught and cannot rotate, and a hole that is slightly thicker than the screw (4 ) to be used is penetrated at the center. Let Separately, a neck support (2) is provided which is saddle-shaped and rounded at both ends. Two springs (3) are used to connect the base and neck support with a screw that penetrates the center of the spring. The upper part of the screw is fixed and can rotate freely, and the lower part is a thick hole in the base. Stop with nut (6) from below. However, since it is not fixed to the platform, the spring (3) moves up and down with good balance, and tilts (Fig. 2).
Turn the pillow over and insert a screwdriver into the thick hole (5) from the bottom of the base to adjust the height, flexibility , stability, and left / right balance. Nut (6) that hold the screw the same effect as when adjustment is fixed during becomes possible inclination of the screw used, fine yet screwdriver one at night after sleeping Adjustment is now possible.
