Description
本発明は巻き枕に係り、特に使用者の好みに応じて枕の高さ調整や硬さ調整が容易であるとともに、洗濯等のメンテナンスが容易な巻き枕に関する。 The present invention relates to a rolled pillow, and more particularly, to a rolled pillow that is easy to adjust the height and hardness of the pillow according to the user's preference and that is easy to maintain such as washing.
人の快適な睡眠にとって枕の高さや硬さは重要な要素であることはよく知られているが、快適と感じる枕の高さや硬さは人それぞれによって違うことも知られている。このため、従来から高さの異なる枕や、充填材等の選択により硬さの異なる枕が多種類製造販売されており、使用者は自分にあった好みのものを適宜選択している。 It is well known that the height and hardness of a pillow are important factors for a comfortable sleep of a person, but it is also known that the height and hardness of a pillow that feels comfortable vary from person to person. For this reason, various types of pillows with different heights and pillows with different hardnesses have been manufactured and sold by selecting fillers and the like, and the user appropriately selects his / her favorite one.
しかし、快適と感じる枕の高さや硬さは、その日の使用者の健康状態や体調、敷布団の硬さや掛布団の重さ等との関係で微妙に変わるため、一旦購入した枕の高さや硬さが合わなくなってくることが多く、せっかく購入した枕が無駄になる場合もある。 However, the height and hardness of a pillow that you feel comfortable vary slightly depending on the health and physical condition of the user of the day, the hardness of the mattress, the weight of the comforter, and so on. Often goes wrong, and the pillow you purchase may be wasted.
このような背景から、例えば特許文献1に、枕の高さや硬さを適宜調整可能とした巻き枕が提案されている。 From such a background, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a wound pillow that can appropriately adjust the height and hardness of the pillow.
特許文献１には、袋体を仕切縫合部で分割して１０箇所の充填空間を形成し、これら充填空間のそれぞれに軟質充填材（ポリエチレン等の綿部材、フェザー）または硬質充填材（ポリエチレン等のパイプ片、木片、そば殻）を詰めて仕切縫合部に沿って折曲可能とし、かつ、充填空間の少なくともひとつに対して、硬さが異なる充填材を充填した巻き枕が開示されている。この巻き枕によれば、袋体を仕切縫合部に沿って折り曲げて袋体を巻回する巻回数を変えることにより、ひとつの枕で多様な高さや硬さを好みに応じて容易に選択調整できるとされている。 In Patent Document 1, a bag body is divided by a partition stitching portion to form 10 filling spaces, and a soft filler (a cotton member such as polyethylene or a feather) or a hard filler (polyethylene or the like) is formed in each of these filling spaces. Wrapping pipes, wood pieces, buckwheat shells) that can be bent along the partition stitching portion and at least one of the filling spaces is filled with a filling material having different hardness. . According to this wound pillow, various heights and hardnesses can be easily selected and adjusted according to preference with one pillow by changing the number of times the bag is wound by folding the bag along the partition stitching section. It is supposed to be possible.
また、近年はパソコンを長時間同一姿勢でデスクワークするサラリーマン、学生、主婦等が増加しており、これに伴ってストレートネック症状で悩む人が増加している。ストレートネック症状とは、頸部への負担が継続的にかかることによって起こる、頭痛、めまい、肩こり等の様々な症状を言い、頸椎を守る首の骨が本来の湾曲状態から真っ直ぐな状態になることによって生じる。 In recent years, the number of office workers, students, housewives, etc. who work desks with a PC for a long time has increased, and along with this, the number of people who suffer from straight neck symptoms has increased. Straight neck symptoms refer to various symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and stiff shoulders caused by continuous burden on the neck, and the neck bone that protects the cervical spine becomes straight from the original curved state. Caused by
ストレートネックの場合にも、高さ調整した適度な硬さの枕を、使用者の頸部に当てがい頸部を小さな力で押し上げた状態にすることで頸部の円滑な血流を確保し易くなり、ストレートネックに良いとされている。 Even in the case of a straight neck, a smooth pillow with a moderate hardness is applied to the user's neck and the neck is pushed up with a small force to ensure smooth blood flow in the neck. It becomes easy and is good for straight necks.
しかしながら、特許文献１の巻き枕のように、袋体に充填する充填物が、綿部材、フェザー等の繊維状物質、パイプ片、木片、そば殻等の粒状物質の場合には、高さ調整、硬さ調整、メンテナンス（枕の洗濯等）において、以下の問題点がある。 However, when the filling material to be filled in the bag body is a fibrous material such as a cotton member or a feather, or a granular material such as a pipe piece, a piece of wood, or a buckwheat shell, as in the wound pillow of Patent Document 1, the height adjustment is performed. There are the following problems in hardness adjustment and maintenance (such as washing a pillow).
（１）繊維状物質や粒状物質のような細かな充填物は、使用しているうちに使用者の頭の重みや寝返り等により、枕内での偏りが生じてしまい、本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わってしまう。したがって、その都度、充填物の偏りを直して快適な高さや硬さに再調整しなくてはならないという問題がある。 (1) A fine filling such as a fibrous material or a granular material may cause a bias in the pillow due to the weight of the user's head or turning over while using it. The height and hardness will change. Therefore, each time, there is a problem that the bias of the filling must be corrected and readjusted to a comfortable height and hardness.
（２）枕を使用することにより、枕は使用者の汗等により汚れるため、充填物を収納する袋体を定期的に洗濯する必要がある。しかし、繊維状物質や粒状物質のように細かな充填物は、洗濯のために袋体から取り出すと、洗濯後に再び袋体に詰めるのが面倒であるとともに、元の快適な枕の高さや硬さになるように詰め直すことは難しいという問題がある。この対策として、枕カバーをすることも考えられるが、高さや硬さ、更には頭を載せたときの感触が微妙に変わってしまうという問題がある。 (2) Since the pillow becomes dirty due to the user's sweat or the like by using the pillow, it is necessary to periodically wash the bag body that stores the filling. However, if a fine filler such as fibrous or granular material is taken out of the bag for washing, it is cumbersome to pack it again after washing and the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow. There is a problem that it is difficult to repack as much as possible. As a countermeasure against this, it is conceivable to use a pillow cover, but there is a problem in that the height, hardness, and feel when the head is placed slightly change.
（３）さらに、特許文献１では、袋体を分割する充填空間の分割数は限定されないとの記載はあるが、実施例での具体的な分割数は１０個と少なく、枕の高さ調整や硬さ調整に限界がある。
（４）更にまた、従来は、ストレートネックの人に適した枕が存在しなかった。
(3) Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, there is a description that the number of divisions of the filling space for dividing the bag body is not limited, but the specific number of divisions in the example is as small as 10, and the height of the pillow is adjusted. There is a limit to the hardness adjustment.
(4) Furthermore, conventionally, there is no pillow suitable for a person with a straight neck.
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、ストレートネックの人にも適し、使用者の頭の重みや寝返り等によって本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わることがなく、汚れた場合にも簡単に洗濯でき、洗濯しても元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できるのでメンテナンスも容易な巻き枕を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is also suitable for straight-necked people. The height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow are not changed by the weight of the user's head or turning over. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rolled pillow that can be easily washed and can be easily restored even after washing, so that the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow can be easily restored.
本発明の巻き枕は上記目的を達成するために、少なくとも一方端が開口され、または開口可能に形成された筒状体が前記筒状体の直径方向に連接部を介して複数連接されて四角形状に形成されるとともに、前記筒状体の連接部に沿って折曲される可撓性な枕本体部と、前記枕本体部の筒状体に着脱自在に嵌入される硬質棒状部材と、前記枕本体部の筒状体に着脱自在に嵌入される軟質棒状部材と、を備え、前記硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材とを前記複数の筒状体に適宜嵌入した前記枕本体部を前記連接部に沿って折曲して該枕本体部を巻回してなることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the wound pillow of the present invention has a rectangular shape in which at least one end is opened, or a plurality of cylindrical bodies formed to be openable are connected to each other in the diameter direction of the cylindrical body via connecting portions. A flexible pillow body portion that is formed in a shape and bent along the connecting portion of the cylindrical body, and a hard rod-like member that is detachably inserted into the cylindrical body of the pillow body portion, A soft rod-like member that is detachably fitted into the cylindrical body of the pillow body portion, and the connection of the pillow body portion having the hard rod-like member and the soft rod-like member properly fitted into the plurality of cylindrical bodies. It is characterized in that it is bent along the part and wound around the pillow body part.
ここで、「硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材とを複数の筒状体に適宜嵌入」とは、巻き枕の使用者が自分の好みの枕の高さ及び硬さになるように、複数の筒状体に硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材とを嵌入することを言う。 Here, “appropriately inserting a hard rod-like member and a soft rod-like member into a plurality of cylindrical bodies” means that a plurality of cylinders are used so that the user of the rolled pillow has the height and hardness of his / her favorite pillow. This refers to fitting a hard bar member and a soft bar member into the body.
また、本発明の巻き枕は、枕本体部を巻回した巻回状態のものに限定されるものではなく、筒状体に硬質棒状部材又は軟質棒状部材を嵌入する前のものも含まれるものとする。また、可撓性な枕本体部の筒状体は、筒状の形状を常時維持していることを意味するものではなく、硬質棒状部材又は軟質棒状部材を嵌入する際に筒状を形成することを意味する。また、嵌入とは、硬質棒状部材又は軟質棒状部材が筒状体に隙間なく収納されることを言う。 Further, the wound pillow of the present invention is not limited to the wound state in which the pillow main body is wound, and includes those before the hard rod member or the soft rod member is fitted into the cylindrical body. And Moreover, the cylindrical body of the flexible pillow main body portion does not mean that the cylindrical shape is always maintained, and forms a cylindrical shape when a hard rod-shaped member or a soft rod-shaped member is inserted. Means that. The term “insertion” means that the hard rod member or the soft rod member is accommodated in the cylindrical body without any gap.
本発明の巻き枕の使用者は、硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材とを複数の筒状体に適宜嵌入した枕本体部を、筒状体の連接部に沿って折り曲げて枕本体部を巻回することにより巻き枕を形成する。 The user of the wound pillow of the present invention winds the pillow main body part by bending the pillow main body part in which the hard bar member and the soft bar member are appropriately fitted into a plurality of cylindrical bodies along the connecting part of the cylindrical body. By doing so, a wound pillow is formed.
即ち、巻き枕を形成する際に、複数の筒状体に嵌入する硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材との個数比率や嵌入する筒状体の位置を変えることで巻き枕の硬さを調整でき、枕本体部の巻回数を調整することで枕の高さを調整できる。 That is, when forming the wound pillow, the hardness of the wound pillow can be adjusted by changing the number ratio of the hard rod member and the soft rod member inserted into the plurality of cylindrical bodies and the position of the inserted cylindrical body, The height of the pillow can be adjusted by adjusting the number of turns of the pillow body.
このように、本発明の巻き枕は、枕本体部の筒状体に充填する充填物として、硬質性と軟質性の２種類の硬さの棒状部材を採用したので、従来の繊維状物質や粒状物質のような細かな充填物ように、使用者の頭の重みや寝返り等によって本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わることがない。 As described above, the wound pillow of the present invention employs two types of hard and soft rod-shaped members as the filling material to be filled in the cylindrical body of the pillow main body. Like a fine packing such as a granular material, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow does not change depending on the weight of the user's head or the rollover.
また、巻き枕が汚れた場合には、棒状部材なので筒状体から簡単に抜き取ることができ、また洗濯後は簡単に再嵌入することができる。そして、抜き取る際に、硬質棒状部材及び軟質棒状部材と、抜き取られた筒状体との対応関係が分かれば、枕本体部を洗濯後に抜き取ったと同じ位置の筒状体に硬質棒状部材又は軟質棒状部材を再嵌入できる。これにより、元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できる。さらに、充填物を棒状部材とすることで、充填物の洗濯あるいは清浄化も容易に行うことができ、メンテナンスが極めて簡単である。 Further, when the wound pillow is dirty, it can be easily removed from the cylindrical body because it is a rod-shaped member, and can be easily reinserted after washing. And, when extracting, if the correspondence relationship between the hard rod member and the soft rod member and the extracted cylindrical body is known, the cylindrical body at the same position as the pillow body portion extracted after washing the hard rod member or the soft rod shape The member can be reinserted. Thereby, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow can be easily restored. Furthermore, since the filling is a rod-like member, the filling can be easily washed or cleaned, and maintenance is extremely simple.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記硬質棒状部材及び前記軟質棒状部材は、直径が８ｍｍ〜１４ｍｍの細い丸棒であり、前記筒状体は２０〜１００個の範囲であることが好ましい。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, the hard bar member and the soft bar member are thin round bars having a diameter of 8 mm to 14 mm, and the number of the cylindrical bodies is preferably in the range of 20 to 100.
巻き枕の高さ調整や硬さ調整をきめ細かく行うには、筒状体の直径に相当する硬質棒状部材及び軟質棒状部材の直径を細くし、硬質棒状部材と軟質棒状部材の個数比率や、嵌入する筒状体の位置のフレキシビリティを高めることが好ましいからである。 In order to finely adjust the height and hardness of the wound pillow, the diameter of the hard rod member and soft rod member corresponding to the diameter of the cylindrical body is reduced, the number ratio of the hard rod member and soft rod member, and the fitting This is because it is preferable to increase the flexibility of the position of the cylindrical body.
具体的には、硬質棒状部材及び軟質棒状部材を直径８ｍｍ〜１４ｍｍの細い丸棒とし、筒状体の個数を２０〜１００個の範囲と多くすることで、枕の高さ調整や硬さ調整をきめ細かく行うことが可能となる。 Specifically, the height and hardness of the pillow are adjusted by making the hard rod-like member and the soft rod-like member into thin round bars having a diameter of 8 mm to 14 mm and increasing the number of cylindrical bodies to a range of 20 to 100. It becomes possible to carry out finely.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記複数の筒状体、前記硬質棒状部材、及び軟質棒状部材は、識別可能に形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、硬質棒状部材及び軟質棒状部材と、抜き取られた筒状体との対応関係とを簡単に関連付けることができる。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, it is preferable that the plurality of cylindrical bodies, the hard bar-shaped member, and the soft bar-shaped member are formed so as to be distinguishable. Thereby, the hard rod-like member and the soft rod-like member can be easily associated with the corresponding relationship between the extracted cylindrical body.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記枕本体部の筒状体連接方向一端側に位置する筒状体に前記硬質棒状部材を少なくとも嵌入し、該硬質棒状部材が前記枕本体部の巻回中心になるように巻回することが好ましい。これにより、巻き枕の中心にしっかりした芯ができるので、巻き枕の形状が安定化する。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, at least the hard rod-like member is fitted into a tubular body located on one end side of the pillow body portion in the tubular body connecting direction, and the hard rod-like member is the winding center of the pillow body portion. It is preferable to wind so that it becomes. Thereby, since the solid core is made in the center of the rolled pillow, the shape of the rolled pillow is stabilized.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記枕本体部の筒状体連接方向一端側に位置する３〜５個の筒状体に前記硬質棒状部材を嵌入し、残りの筒状体に前記軟質棒状部材を嵌入することが好ましい。これにより、巻き枕の中心部が硬く、頭や頸部を接触させる外層部が柔らかい巻き枕を提供できる。本発明者の実験によれば、前記枕本体部の筒状体連接方向一端側の筒状体に硬質棒状部材を嵌入する数は、２〜６個が好ましく、３〜５個がより好ましいことが分かった。２〜６個の硬質棒状部材が巻回中心になるように巻くことにより、柔らかすぎず、しなりすぎない巻き枕になり、３〜５個の硬質棒状部材が巻回中心になるように巻くことにより、ストレートネックの人の肩こり、頭痛等を軽減する効果が高いことが判明した。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, the hard rod-like member is fitted into 3 to 5 tubular bodies located on one end side of the pillow body connecting direction of the cylindrical body, and the soft rod-like shape is fitted to the remaining tubular bodies. It is preferable to insert a member. Thereby, the center part of a winding pillow is hard, and the outer-layer part which contacts a head and neck part can provide a winding pillow. According to the inventor's experiment, the number of the hard rod-like members inserted into the cylindrical body on one end side of the cylindrical body connecting direction of the pillow main body is preferably 2 to 6, more preferably 3 to 5. I understood. By winding 2-6 hard rod-shaped members to be the center of winding, it becomes a winding pillow that is not too soft and not too flexible, and 3-5 hard rod-shaped members are wound so as to be the center of winding. As a result, it was found that the effect of reducing the stiff shoulders and headaches of a straight neck person is high.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記硬質棒状部材又は前記軟質棒状部材を、前記枕本体部の複数の筒状体に１つ置きに嵌入することが好ましい。これにより、隣接する筒状体同士の間に枕本体部を巻回するための余裕部分ができるので、枕本体部を巻回し易くなる。さらには、巻回後の巻き枕の直径方向の外表面断面が凹凸になるので、巻き枕に頭や頸部を載せたときに凹部の溝に沿って空気が流れるので、夏場等の暑いときに頭や頸部が蒸れることがない。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, it is preferable that the hard rod-like member or the soft rod-like member is inserted into every other cylindrical body of the pillow main body portion. Thereby, since the margin part for winding a pillow main-body part between adjacent cylindrical bodies is made, it becomes easy to wind a pillow main-body part. Furthermore, since the outer surface cross section of the diametrical direction of the wound pillow after winding is uneven, air flows along the groove in the recess when the head or neck is placed on the wrapped pillow. The head and neck are not stuffy.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記硬質棒状部材は棒磁石であることが好ましい。これにより、磁気枕としての機能も発揮することができる。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, the hard bar-shaped member is preferably a bar magnet. Thereby, the function as a magnetic pillow can also be exhibited.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記枕本体部の表裏面における前記筒状体の軸芯方向両端部であって、前記枕本体部の巻き開始端から前記枕本体部の略１／２の位置まで、前記筒状体の連接部に沿って面ファスナが連続的に又は断続的に設けられていることが好ましい。これにより、枕本体部を綺麗なロール形状に巻回し易いとともに、巻き終わったときに巻きが戻って巻き枕の高さや硬さが変わってしまうことを防止できる。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, both ends of the cylindrical body in the axial direction on the front and back surfaces of the pillow main body, approximately half of the pillow main body from the winding start end of the pillow main body It is preferable that the surface fastener is provided continuously or intermittently along the connecting portion of the cylindrical body up to the position. Thereby, it is easy to wind the pillow main body portion into a beautiful roll shape, and it is possible to prevent the winding from returning when the winding is completed and the height and hardness of the wound pillow to change.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記枕本体部を一端側から他端側まで巻回したときの枕の高さが８０ｍｍ以上になるように前記枕本体部の長さを形成することが好ましい。 As an aspect of the wound pillow according to the present invention, it is preferable to form the length of the pillow body so that the pillow body has a height of 80 mm or more when the pillow body is wound from one end to the other end. .
ストレートネックにおいて、巻き枕を使用者の頸部に当てがい頸部を小さな力で押し上げた状態にするには、巻き枕の高さは５０〜８０ｍｍ（好ましくは６０〜７０ｍｍ）が良いとされており、枕の高さが８０ｍｍ以上になるように枕本体部の長さを形成すれば問題ないからである。 In a straight neck, the height of the rolled pillow is considered to be 50-80 mm (preferably 60-70 mm) in order to apply the rolled pillow to the neck of the user and push the neck up with a small force. This is because there is no problem if the length of the pillow body is formed so that the height of the pillow is 80 mm or more.
本発明の巻き枕の態様として、前記硬質棒状部材及び軟質棒状部材の少なくとも1個は、前記筒状体の軸芯方向の長さよりも長く形成されて前記筒状体の開口よりも突出する突出部を更に有し、前記突出部は吸液性部材で形成されていることが好ましい。 As an aspect of the wound pillow of the present invention, at least one of the hard bar member and the soft bar member is formed longer than the length of the cylindrical body in the axial direction and protrudes beyond the opening of the cylindrical body It is preferable that the protrusion further includes a liquid absorbing member.
これにより、吸液性の突出部に例えばアロマ液等の睡眠を促進させる匂い物質を浸透させておけば、使用者の睡眠をさらに促進することができる。 Thereby, if the odor substance which promotes sleep, such as an aroma liquid, is made to infiltrate into a liquid-absorbing protrusion part, a user's sleep can be further promoted.
本発明の巻き枕によれば、使用者の頭の重みや寝返り等によって本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わることがなく、汚れた場合にも簡単に洗濯でき、洗濯しても元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できるのでメンテナンスも容易な巻き枕を提供できる。 According to the wound pillow of the present invention, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow does not change due to the weight of the user's head, the rollover, etc. Because it can easily restore the height and hardness of a comfortable pillow, it can provide a rolled pillow that is easy to maintain.

イ）家庭で普通の枕としても使用できることは勿論のこと、持ち運びが簡単なので、旅行用の枕としても有効である。 B) Not only can it be used as an ordinary pillow at home, it is also easy to carry, so it is also effective as a pillow for travel.
ロ）頸部の疲労感に対して微妙な高さ調整や硬さ調整が可能なので、ストレートネック用の枕として有効である。 B) It is effective as a pillow for a straight neck because it can be finely adjusted in height and hardness for neck fatigue.
ハ）棒状部材が配列することで巻き枕を構成しており、棒状部材がつぼを刺激するので、首、背中、腰等のつぼマッサージ用としても有効である。 C) A winding pillow is formed by arranging rod-shaped members, and the rod-shaped member stimulates the pot, so that it is also effective for massage of the neck, back, waist and the like.
ニ）特に、ストレートネック用やつぼマッサージ用として使用する場合、巻き枕を巻回する際に、シート状等の冷却材や加温材を一緒に巻くことができるので、高さ調整や硬さ調整に加えて、温度調整も可能なので、ストレートネック治療効果やつぼマッサージ効果を向上できる。なお、温度調整の場合、電気的な冷却器や加温器を用いることもできる。 D) Especially when using it for straight necks and crucible massages, it is possible to wrap a cooling material such as a sheet or a heating material together when winding a wound pillow. In addition to adjustment, temperature adjustment is also possible, improving the effect of straight neck treatment and vase massage. In the case of temperature adjustment, an electric cooler or a heater can also be used.

[Composition of rolled pillow]
FIG. 1 is an exploded view for explaining constituent members before assembling the wound pillow according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram in the middle of assembly, and FIG. 3 is a completed assembly diagram.
As shown in FIG. 1, the wound pillow 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a pillow main body 12, a hard bar member 14, and a soft bar member 16. In FIG. 1, the hard bar-like member 14 is shown in white, and the soft bar-like member 16 is drawn in fine dot ground.
枕本体部１２は、少なくとも一方端が開口された複数の筒状体１８が該筒状体１８の直径方向に連接部１２Ａを介して複数連接されて四角形状に形成された可撓性部材であり、巻き枕１０を形成する際には連接部１２Ａに沿って折り曲げる。なお、筒状体１８は、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６の嵌入前においては、両端が開口、一方端が開口され他方端が閉塞、少なくとも一方端が開口可能、のいずれの態様でも良く、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入した後においては、両端とも開口、両端とも閉塞、一方端が開口され他方端が閉塞の態様のうち、何れの態様も可能である。図１では、一方端が開口され他方端が閉塞された場合の例で図示している。 The pillow main body 12 is a flexible member formed in a quadrangular shape by connecting a plurality of cylindrical bodies 18 having at least one end opened in the diameter direction of the cylindrical body 18 via the connecting portions 12A. Yes, when the wound pillow 10 is formed, it is bent along the connecting portion 12A. The cylindrical body 18 may have any form in which both ends are open, one end is open and the other end is closed, and at least one end is open before the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 are fitted. After the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 are fitted, any of the embodiments in which both ends are open, both ends are closed, one end is opened, and the other end is closed is possible. FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which one end is opened and the other end is closed.
枕本体部１２の材質としては、タオル地やフェルト地等の布製、牛革、人工皮革等の皮製、ビニール製等を各種の可撓性材質のものを使用できる。図１では、枕本体部１２の筒状体１８の径断面形状を丸形状に描いているが、可撓性により実際には楕円形状に撓んだ状態になっている。 As a material of the pillow main body 12, various flexible materials such as cloth such as towel cloth and felt cloth, leather such as cowhide and artificial leather, and vinyl can be used. In FIG. 1, although the radial cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical body 18 of the pillow main body 12 is drawn in a round shape, it is actually bent into an elliptical shape due to its flexibility.
枕本体部１２は、例えば、長方形な２枚のタオル生地を重ね合わせ、筒状体１８の直径に相当する幅を有して等間隔で連接部１２Ａを設けることにより形成できる。市販のバスタオルを使用して作製する場合、典型的なバスタオルの寸法である６００ｍｍ×１２００ｍｍの寸法で作製することができる。連接部１２Ａは、例えば縫合による縫合部、接着材による接合部等により形成できる。 The pillow main body 12 can be formed, for example, by superimposing two rectangular towel cloths and providing the connecting portions 12A at equal intervals with a width corresponding to the diameter of the cylindrical body 18. When making it using a commercially available bath towel, it can be made with a size of 600 mm × 1200 mm which is a typical bath towel size. The connecting part 12A can be formed by, for example, a stitched part by stitching, a joined part by an adhesive, or the like.
なお、本実施の形態の巻き枕１０は、７０個の筒状体１８、３個の硬質棒状部材１４、６７個の軟質棒状部材１６の一例で説明し、図１及び図２では、筒状体１８の連接途中を想像線で示しており、それに合わせて軟質棒状部材１６も想像線で示している。 The wound pillow 10 of the present embodiment will be described with an example of 70 cylindrical bodies 18, 3 hard rod members 14, and 67 soft rod members 16. In FIGS. In the middle of the connection of the bodies 18, imaginary lines are shown, and the soft rod-like member 16 is also shown by imaginary lines accordingly.
また、枕本体部１２の表裏面における筒状体１８の軸芯方向両端部であって、枕本体部１２の巻き開始端から枕本体部１２の略１／２の位置まで、筒状体１８同士の連接方向に沿って面ファスナ２０が連続的に又は断続的に設けられていることが好ましい。図１では、枕本体部１２の表裏面のうちの一方面のみに面ファスナ２０が図示されているが、他方面にも設けられる。なお、図１では、枕本体部１２の右端が巻き開始端になる。 Moreover, it is the axial center direction both ends of the cylindrical body 18 in the front and back of the pillow main-body part 12, Comprising: From the winding start end of the pillow main-body part 12 to the position of about 1/2 of the pillow main-body part 12, the cylindrical body 18 It is preferable that the hook-and-loop fastener 20 is provided continuously or intermittently along the connecting direction. In FIG. 1, the surface fastener 20 is illustrated only on one surface of the front and back surfaces of the pillow main body 12, but it is also provided on the other surface. In FIG. 1, the right end of the pillow body 12 is the winding start end.
これにより、枕本体部１２の巻き開始端から略半分程巻くまでの間、枕本体部１２の巻回済みの部分が面ファスナ２０で順次固定されていくので、綺麗なロール形状に巻回し易い。さらには、枕本体部１２を巻き終わったときに、巻きが緩んでしまい巻き枕１０の高さや硬さが変わってしまうことを防止できる。 Thereby, since the wound part of the pillow main body 12 is sequentially fixed by the surface fastener 20 from the winding start end of the pillow main body 12 to about half, it is easy to wind in a beautiful roll shape. . Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the winding pillow 10 from being loosened and the height and hardness of the wound pillow 10 from being changed when the pillow body 12 has been wound.
なお、枕本体部１２の巻き開始端から巻き終了端まで面ファスナ２０を設けると、巻き枕１０の外表面に面ファスナ２０が露出してしまうので問題がある。ここで、本発明においては、面ファスナ２０を設けることに限定しているわけではなく、面ファスナ２０を設けることは一実施形態である。本発明に係る巻き枕は、面ファスナ２０を設けなくても、十分に使用可能であり、面ファスナ２０がないことにより、寝ているときに簡単に巻きの長さを調整できるというメリットもある。 In addition, when the hook-and-loop fastener 20 is provided from the winding start end to the winding end of the pillow main body 12, the hook-and-loop fastener 20 is exposed on the outer surface of the winding pillow 10, which is problematic. Here, in this invention, it is not necessarily limited to providing the hook-and-loop fastener 20, but providing the hook-and-loop fastener 20 is one embodiment. The wound pillow according to the present invention can be sufficiently used without the hook-and-loop fastener 20, and the absence of the hook-and-loop fastener 20 also has an advantage that the winding length can be easily adjusted when sleeping. .
面ファスナ２０とは、一般的にマジックテープ（登録商標）として知られており、フック状に起毛されたフック状起毛部と、ループ状に密集して起毛されたループ状起毛部とを押し付けることにより貼り付き、剥がす方向の力で剥がれる。よって、本発明においては、巻いていったときにフック状起毛部と、ループ状起毛部とがうまく接触するように、フック状起毛部と、ループ状起毛部とが交互に設置されていることが好ましい。 The hook-and-loop fastener 20 is generally known as Velcro (registered trademark) and presses a hook-like raised portion raised in a hook shape and a loop-like raised portion densely raised in a loop shape. By sticking, it peels off with the force in the peeling direction. Therefore, in the present invention, the hook-like raised portions and the loop-like raised portions are alternately installed so that the hook-like raised portions and the loop-like raised portions are in good contact when wound. Is preferred.
硬質棒状部材１４は、使用者の頭程度の重さでは撓まない硬さのものであればどのような材質でもよいが、例えば木、金属、セラミックス、硬質プラスチック、硬質ゴム等を好適に使用できる。また、金属として棒磁石を使用すれば、磁気枕としての機能も発揮することができる。また、木としては、例えばヒノキを使用すれば、ヒノキの香りが安眠を促進することができる。 The hard rod-like member 14 may be made of any material as long as it is hard enough to be bent by the weight of the user's head, but preferably uses wood, metal, ceramics, hard plastic, hard rubber, or the like. it can. Moreover, if a bar magnet is used as a metal, the function as a magnetic pillow can also be exhibited. Moreover, as a tree, for example, if a cypress is used, the scent of the cypress can promote sleep.
軟質棒状部材１６は、使用者の頭を載せたときに痛くない程度の柔軟性を有する材質であればどのようなものでもよいが、例えば軟質プラスチック(例えば発泡ウレタン樹脂)、軟質ゴム、緩衝剤として使用されるバックアップスポンジ等を好適に使用できる。 The soft rod-shaped member 16 may be any material as long as it is flexible so that it does not hurt when the user's head is placed on it, for example, soft plastic (for example, foamed urethane resin), soft rubber, buffering agent. A backup sponge or the like used as can be suitably used.
[巻き枕の組立方法]
上記の枕本体部１２、硬質棒状部材１４、軟質棒状部材１６により巻き枕１０を組み立てるには、先ず図２に示すように、枕本体部１２の筒状体１８に、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とを嵌入させる。図２では、巻き開始端から３個の筒状体１８に硬質棒状部材１４を嵌入し、残りの６７個の筒状体１８に軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入した（棒状部材の嵌入ステップ）。
[How to assemble a rolled pillow]
In order to assemble the wound pillow 10 with the pillow body 12, the hard rod member 14, and the soft rod member 16, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical body 18 of the pillow body 12 is joined to the hard rod member 14 and the soft body. The rod-like member 16 is inserted. In FIG. 2, the hard rod-shaped member 14 is inserted into the three cylindrical bodies 18 from the winding start end, and the soft rod-shaped member 16 is inserted into the remaining 67 cylindrical bodies 18 (the insertion step of the rod-shaped member).
次に、図３に示すように、枕本体部１２を連接部１２Ａに沿って折曲して該枕本体部１２を巻回する（枕本体部の巻回ステップ）。
これにより、組み立てが終了し、巻き枕１０が完成する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the pillow body 12 is bent along the connecting portion 12 </ b> A to wind the pillow body 12 (winding step of the pillow body).
Thereby, an assembly is complete | finished and the wound pillow 10 is completed.
図４は、組み立てた本発明の実施の形態の巻き枕１０を、ストレートネックの使用者２２が、布団２４（又はベッド）に就寝時に頸部２６の下に当てがい頸部２６を小さな力で押し上げた状態にしている図である。ストレートネックのための巻き枕１０の高さＨは、５０〜８０ｍｍ（好ましくは６０〜７０ｍｍ）が良いとされる。したがって、巻き枕１０の高さが８０ｍｍ以上になるように枕本体部１２の長さを設定する必要がある。この場合、巻き枕１０を、頸部２６の下側を当てがうロール状の頸部支持部１０Ａと、後頭部２８を支持する後頭部支持部１０Ｂとで構成し、後頭部２８を布団２４の面２４Ａよりも少し高く支持できるようにすることが好ましい。後頭部支持部１０Ｂの高さ調整は、後頭部支持部１０Ｂを折り畳むことによって調整できる。 FIG. 4 shows the assembled pillow 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. A straight neck user 22 puts the neck 26 on the futon 24 (or bed) under the neck 26 at bedtime with a small force. It is the figure made into the state pushed up. The height H of the wound pillow 10 for the straight neck is preferably 50 to 80 mm (preferably 60 to 70 mm). Therefore, it is necessary to set the length of the pillow main body 12 so that the height of the wound pillow 10 is 80 mm or more. In this case, the wound pillow 10 is composed of a roll-shaped neck support portion 10 </ b> A that applies the lower side of the neck portion 26 and a back head support portion 10 </ b> B that supports the back head portion 28. It is preferable to be able to support a little higher than that. The height adjustment of the back head support portion 10B can be adjusted by folding the back head support portion 10B.
上記した嵌入ステップと巻回ステップにおいて、使用者２２は、複数の筒状体１８に嵌入させる硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６との個数比率や、複数の筒状体１８のうちの何れの筒状体１８に硬質棒状部材１４又は軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入させるかによって巻き枕１０の硬さを好みの硬さに調整する。また、使用者２２は、枕本体部１２を巻回する巻回数を調整することで巻き枕１０の枕の高さを好みの高さに調整する。この場合、図４のように、巻回される枕本体部１２の後頭部支持部１０Ｂを、頸部支持部１０Ａと布団２４との間に押し込むことで微妙な枕の高さの調整が可能となる。 In the insertion step and the winding step described above, the user 22 can select the number ratio of the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 to be fitted into the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18 or any of the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18. The hardness of the wound pillow 10 is adjusted to a desired hardness depending on whether the hard rod member 14 or the soft rod member 16 is fitted into the cylindrical body 18. Moreover, the user 22 adjusts the height of the pillow of the winding pillow 10 to favorite height by adjusting the frequency | count of winding the pillow main-body part 12. As shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to adjust the height of the pillow delicately by pushing the back head support portion 10 </ b> B of the pillow body portion 12 to be wound between the neck support portion 10 </ b> A and the futon 24. Become.
かかる硬さ調整や高さ調整において、本発明の実施の形態の巻き枕１０は、枕本体部１２の筒状体１８に充填する充填物として硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６のように棒状部材を採用したので、従来の繊維状物質や粒状物質のような細かな充填物のように、使用者２２の頭の重みや寝返り等によって本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わることがない。 In such hardness adjustment and height adjustment, the wound pillow 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a rod-like shape like a hard rod-like member 14 and a soft rod-like member 16 as a filling material that fills the cylindrical body 18 of the pillow body 12. Since the members are used, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow may change depending on the weight of the user 22 and the rollover, as in the case of fine fillers such as conventional fibrous materials and granular materials. Absent.
また、巻き枕１０が汚れた場合には、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とを枕本体部１２の筒状体１８から抜き取って枕本体部１２を簡単に洗濯できる。このとき、複数の筒状体１８のうち、どの位置の筒状体１８から硬質棒状部材１４を抜き取り、どの位置の筒状体１８から軟質棒状部材１６を抜き取ったかを分かるようにしておく。そして、枕本体部１２を洗濯したら、抜き取ったと同じ位置の筒状体１８に硬質棒状部材１４又は軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入してやれば、元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できる。また、充填物が棒状部材なので、充填物の洗濯あるいは清浄化も容易に行うことができ、メンテナンスが極めて簡単である。 Further, when the wound pillow 10 becomes dirty, the pillow main body 12 can be easily washed by removing the hard bar-shaped member 14 and the soft bar-shaped member 16 from the cylindrical body 18 of the pillow main body 12. At this time, among the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18, it is made known which position the cylindrical body 18 is extracted from, and from which position the cylindrical body 18 the soft bar-shaped member 16 is extracted. And if the pillow main-body part 12 is washed, if the hard rod-shaped member 14 or the soft rod-shaped member 16 is inserted in the cylindrical body 18 of the same position as it extracted, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow can be restored easily. Further, since the filling is a rod-like member, the filling can be easily washed or cleaned, and the maintenance is extremely simple.
巻き枕１０の高さ調整や硬さ調整をきめ細かく行うには、筒状体１８の直径に相当する硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６の直径を細くし、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６の個数比率や、複数の筒状体１８のうちの何れの筒状体１８に硬質棒状部材１４又は軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入させるかのフレキシビリティを高めることが好ましい。また、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６の直径を細くすることで、枕本体部１２の巻回数を多く確保できるので、微妙な枕の高さ調整も可能となる。 In order to finely adjust the height and hardness of the wound pillow 10, the diameters of the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 corresponding to the diameter of the cylindrical body 18 are reduced, and the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 are reduced. It is preferable to increase the flexibility of whether the hard rod-like member 14 or the soft rod-like member 16 is fitted into any one of the plurality of tubular bodies 18. Moreover, since the number of windings of the pillow main body 12 can be ensured by making the diameters of the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 small, delicate height adjustment of the pillow is also possible.
そこで、発明者が実験により確かめた結果、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６の直径が８ｍｍ未満で巻き枕１０を形成した場合には、頭の重みで撓みが生じ、枕の高さ調整がしにくい。また、１４ｍｍを超えて太いと、巻き枕１０に頭を載せたり、頸部２６の下に当てがったりしたときに、フィット感がなくなる。また、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６の径断面形状は円形状に限らず円に近い多角形であれば問題ないが、円形状が好ましい。 Therefore, as a result of the inventor confirming by experiment, when the wound pillow 10 is formed with the diameters of the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 being less than 8 mm, the head is bent and the pillow height is adjusted. Hard to do. If the thickness exceeds 14 mm, the fit is lost when the head is placed on the wound pillow 10 or when the head is placed under the neck 26. Further, the radial cross-sectional shapes of the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 are not limited to a circular shape, but may be any polygonal shape close to a circle, but a circular shape is preferable.
この実験結果より、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６は、直径が８ｍｍ〜１４ｍｍの細い丸棒であることが好ましく、さらに好ましい直径は１０ｍｍ〜１２ｍｍの範囲であり、特に好ましい直径は１０ｍｍである。そして、この太さの硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６で利用可能な枕の高さを確保するには、筒状体１８の数は２０〜１００個の範囲であり、枕本体部１２の長さにして５００〜１０００ｍｍの範囲が好ましい。特に好ましい筒状体１８の数は、３０〜５０個の範囲である。また、枕本体部１２の幅(筒状体１８の軸芯方向の長さ)は、寝返り等を考慮すると、３００〜５００ｍｍの範囲が好ましい。 From this experimental result, it is preferable that the hard rod-shaped member 14 and the soft rod-shaped member 16 are thin round bars having a diameter of 8 mm to 14 mm, a more preferable diameter is in the range of 10 mm to 12 mm, and a particularly preferable diameter is 10 mm. . And in order to ensure the height of the pillow which can be utilized with the hard rod-shaped member 14 and the soft rod-shaped member 16 of this thickness, the number of the cylindrical bodies 18 is the range of 20-100 pieces, The length is preferably in the range of 500 to 1000 mm. The particularly preferable number of cylindrical bodies 18 is in the range of 30-50. In addition, the width of the pillow main body 12 (the length of the cylindrical body 18 in the axial direction) is preferably in the range of 300 to 500 mm in consideration of turning over and the like.
発明者自身が、ストレートネックであるため、自らをも含めて実験した結果、上記数値範囲において、ストレートネックにより発生する肩こり、頭痛、めまい等の症状が軽減した。特に、上記好ましい数値範囲で作製した枕を使用することにより、肩こり、頭痛、めまい等の症状の軽減度合いが大きくなり、上記特に好ましい数値範囲で作製した枕を使用することにより、肩こり、頭痛、めまい等の症状はほとんど消失した。 Since the inventor himself was a straight neck, the experiment including himself also showed that symptoms such as stiff shoulders, headache and dizziness caused by the straight neck were reduced within the above numerical range. In particular, by using a pillow prepared in the above preferred numerical range, the degree of reduction of symptoms such as stiff shoulder, headache, dizziness is increased, and by using a pillow prepared in the above particularly preferred numerical range, the shoulder stiffness, headache, Symptoms such as dizziness almost disappeared.
これは、本発明の巻き枕１０により、使用者２２の頸部２６に当てがい頸部２６を小さな力で押し上げた状態にすることで頸部２６の円滑な血流を確保し易くなるとともに、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６で適度な硬さに調整された巻き枕１０の棒状の部分による頸部２６のつぼ等への刺激、及び、頸部２６を適切な湾曲状態にすることによって、ストレートネックの症状が軽減、消失したものと考えられる。 This is because the wound pillow 10 of the present invention makes it easy to ensure a smooth blood flow in the neck 26 by placing the neck 26 in a state where the neck 26 is pushed up with a small force by applying to the neck 26 of the user 22. By stimulating the pot of the neck portion 26 by the rod-like portion of the wound pillow 10 adjusted to an appropriate hardness by the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16, and making the neck portion 26 in an appropriate curved state The symptoms of straight neck are alleviated and disappeared.
図1〜図３は、上述の通り、枕本体部１２に７０個の筒状体１８を形成し、枕本体部１２の筒状体１８連接方向一端側（巻き開始位置側）に位置する２〜６個（さらに好ましくは３〜５個）の筒状体１８に硬質棒状部材１４を嵌入し、残りの筒状体１８に軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入し、３個の硬質棒状部材１４が巻き中心になるように巻回した一例である。
また、図５は、枕本体部１２に７０個の筒状体１８を形成し、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とを交互に嵌入して、巻き枕１０を形成する一例である。
1 to 3, as described above, 70 cylindrical bodies 18 are formed in the pillow main body 12, and the cylindrical body 18 is connected to one end side (winding start position side) of the cylindrical body 18 in the connecting direction 2. The hard rod-shaped member 14 is inserted into ˜6 (more preferably 3-5) cylindrical bodies 18, the soft rod-shaped member 16 is inserted into the remaining cylindrical body 18, and the three hard rod-shaped members 14 are wound. It is an example wound so that it may become the center.
FIG. 5 is an example of forming the rolled pillow 10 by forming 70 cylindrical bodies 18 in the pillow body 12 and alternately inserting the hard rod members 14 and the soft rod members 16.
図６は、枕本体部１２に７０個の筒状体１８を形成し、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６を、枕本体部１２の複数の筒状体１８に１つ置きに嵌入して、巻き枕１０を形成する一例である。これにより、隣接する筒状体１８同士の間に枕本体部１２を巻回するための余裕部分ができるので、枕本体部１２を巻回し易くなる。さらには、巻回後の巻き枕１０の外表面断面が凹凸になるので、巻き枕１０に頭や頸部２６を載せたときに凹部の溝に沿って空気が流れるので、夏場等の暑いときに後頭部２８や頸部２６が蒸れることがない。 In FIG. 6, 70 cylindrical bodies 18 are formed in the pillow main body portion 12, and the hard rod-like members 14 and the soft rod-like members 16 are inserted into the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18 of the pillow main body portion 12 every other one. This is an example of forming the wound pillow 10. Thereby, since the margin part for winding the pillow main-body part 12 between adjacent cylindrical bodies 18 is made, it becomes easy to wind the pillow main-body part 12. Furthermore, since the outer surface cross-section of the wound pillow 10 after winding becomes uneven, air flows along the groove of the recess when the head or neck 26 is placed on the wound pillow 10, so that it is hot in summer etc. In addition, the occipital region 28 and the neck portion 26 are not steamed.
また、図示しなかったが、図３の４〜５重に巻回された巻回層の中心巻回層に硬質棒状部材１４を嵌入し、最外巻回層(頸部又は頭と接触する巻回層)に軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入し、中心巻回層と最外巻回層との間の中間巻回層に硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とを適宜嵌入することで好みの枕の高さや硬さを調整することもできる。 Moreover, although not shown in figure, the hard rod-shaped member 14 is inserted in the center winding layer of the winding layer wound 4-5 times of FIG. 3, and it contacts an outermost winding layer (neck part or a head). The flexible rod-like member 16 is fitted into the winding layer), and the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 are suitably fitted into the intermediate winding layer between the center winding layer and the outermost winding layer. The height and hardness of the pillow can also be adjusted.
このように、本発明の実施の形態の巻き枕１０は、枕本体部１２、硬質棒状部材１４、軟質棒状部材１６の３つの簡単な構成でありながら、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６の個数比率、複数の筒状体１８に対する硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６の嵌入位置、枕本体部１２の巻回数と巻回層に嵌入する硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６との配置、複数の筒状体１８の全てに硬質棒状部材１４又は軟質棒状部材１６を嵌入させるか、１つ置きに嵌入させるか等により、使用者の好みの枕の高さや硬さを極めてきめ細かく調整することができる。 As described above, the wound pillow 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the three simple configurations of the pillow main body portion 12, the hard rod-shaped member 14, and the soft rod-shaped member 16, but the hard rod-shaped member 14 and the soft rod-shaped member 16. The number ratio, the fitting position of the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 with respect to the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18, the number of windings of the pillow main body 12 and the arrangement of the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 fitted into the winding layer, The height and hardness of the user's favorite pillow can be adjusted extremely finely by inserting the hard rod-like member 14 or the soft rod-like member 16 into all of the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18 or by inserting them every other one. Can do.
ところで、例えば７０個のように多数の筒状体１８で枕本体部１２を形成すると、枕本体部１２の洗濯等により枕本体部１２から硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とを抜き出す場合、硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６とが、どの位置の筒状体１８に嵌入されていたかが分からなくなってしまう。
そこで、本発明の巻き枕１０の態様として、複数の筒状体１８、複数の硬質棒状部材１４、及び複数の軟質棒状部材１６は、識別可能に形成されていることが好ましい。
By the way, when the pillow body portion 12 is formed by a large number of cylindrical bodies 18 such as 70, for example, when the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 are extracted from the pillow body portion 12 by washing the pillow body portion 12 or the like, It becomes difficult to know in which position the cylindrical body 18 is fitted with the hard bar member 14 and the soft bar member 16.
Therefore, as an aspect of the wound pillow 10 of the present invention, it is preferable that the plurality of cylindrical bodies 18, the plurality of hard rod-shaped members 14, and the plurality of soft rod-shaped members 16 are formed so as to be distinguishable.
図１〜図６では、筒状体１８と軟質棒状部材１６にアラビア数字を付し、硬質棒状部材１４にはアルファベットを付すことによって、７０個の筒状体１８から硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６を抜き出しても、筒状体１８の位置と、硬質棒状部材１４及び軟質棒状部材１６との対応関係を簡単に関連付けておくことができる。 1 to 6, the cylindrical body 18 and the soft rod-shaped member 16 are given Arabic numerals, and the hard rod-shaped member 14 is given an alphabet, so that the hard rod-shaped member 14 and the soft rod-shaped member are formed from the 70 cylindrical bodies 18. Even if the member 16 is extracted, the correspondence relationship between the position of the cylindrical body 18 and the hard rod member 14 and the soft rod member 16 can be easily associated.
したがって、洗濯等により多数の筒状体１８から硬質棒状部材１４と軟質棒状部材１６を抜き取っても、元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できる。このような認識による復元操作は、充填物が棒状部材であるがゆえの特徴であり、従来の繊維状物質や粒状物質のような細かな充填物では略不可能である。
認識方法としては、複数の筒状体１８、複数の硬質棒状部材１４、及び複数の軟質棒状部材１６へ記号（数字を含む）を付与する方法、色分けする方法等が好適であるが、これに限定されない。
Therefore, even if the hard rod-like member 14 and the soft rod-like member 16 are extracted from a large number of cylindrical bodies 18 by washing or the like, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow can be easily restored. Such a restoration operation based on recognition is a feature because the packing is a rod-shaped member, and is almost impossible with a fine packing such as a conventional fibrous material or granular material.
As a recognition method, a method of assigning symbols (including numbers) to a plurality of cylindrical bodies 18, a plurality of hard rod-like members 14, and a plurality of soft rod-like members 16, a method of color-coding, and the like are suitable. It is not limited.
これにより、本発明の巻き枕１０によれば、使用者の頭の重みや寝返り等によって本来の快適な枕の高さや硬さが変わることがなく、汚れた場合にも簡単に洗濯でき、洗濯しても元の快適な枕の高さや硬さを簡単に復元できるのでメンテナンスも容易な巻き枕１０を提供できる。 Thus, according to the wound pillow 10 of the present invention, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow does not change due to the weight of the user's head, the rollover, etc. Even so, the height and hardness of the original comfortable pillow can be easily restored, so that the rolled pillow 10 that is easy to maintain can be provided.
