水枕あるいは氷をも収納してなる氷枕さらには
近年使用されているゲル状の蓄冷体からなるパツ

枕が出現するに至つている。 In the former case, cold water or water and ice is stored in a bag-like container made of rubber, then the container is closed and used on or in place of a pillow to cool the back of the head. In the latter case, a gel-like cold storage body cooled in a refrigerator or freezer is used by interposing it between the pillow and the head, or a belt is attached and wound around the head. In recent years, pillows that are cooled by the heat of vaporization of water, or pillows that are actively cooled using a power source using the Peltier effect, have appeared.

眠性に問題がある。 However, when it comes to water pillows or ice pillows, they initially become too cold for the user;
Not only does it heat up quickly, requiring time and effort such as having to replace the water or ice each time, but it also needs to be adjusted to the appropriate height and firmness for the user to use it on top of a pillow or in place of a pillow. It was not possible to use it for a long time, and it had many drawbacks in terms of temperature appropriateness, its sustainability, and sleep quality. In addition, even though gel-like cold storage materials are more durable than water pillows or ice pillows, they also tend to be in direct contact with the user's head or back of the head, making them too cold at first. Not only does it become quite cold, which has a negative impact on the health of the user, but it quickly loses its ability to store cold once it starts to warm up, making it difficult to maintain a suitable temperature for a long time.
In addition, like water pillows and ice pillows, since they are used on top of a pillow, in place of a pillow, or wrapped around the head, it is difficult to maintain a suitable height and firmness, resulting in problems with sleep quality.

る手段も無かつたのである。 In addition, in the case of devices that are cooled by the heat of vaporization of water, there is a limit to the moisture content of the water, the amount of heat of vaporization is small, and water droplets may come out, the temperature may rise during use, or It has many drawbacks, such as the growth of mold and strange odors.Also, even pillows that are actively cooled by the Peltier effect are expensive, and they also come with a power cord, making it difficult to sleep with the pillow. It is not suitable for people who move or rotate the device a lot. Furthermore, with these various pillows, there is no way to easily obtain heat or cold according to the user's physical condition and preference than with a single pillow, and there is also no way to easily obtain heat or cold according to the user's physical condition and preference, and with a single pillow, cervical vertebrae can be supported according to the body shape. There was no way to choose the height of the pillow.

It consists of a canned body. Note that the cold storage body is not limited to a canned body, but may be of any form such as a bag-like body or a gel-like body as long as it can store cold heat for a long period of time. Reference numerals 6 and 7 are heat transfer plates, which are made of aluminum plates or the like with good thermal conductivity. is positioned below the head of the pillow user 8, and one part of the other heat transfer plate 7 is abutted and locked to the cool storage body 3 built into the right side of the pillow body 1, and the other part is fixed as described above. It is positioned below the neck of the pillow user 8 at a constant distance from the other heat transfer plate 6. In this embodiment, one heat exchanger plate 6 has a small area and the other heat exchanger plate 7 has a large area, but they may have the same area. 7 may be configured to transmit cold heat from the cold storage bodies 2 and 3 located at different locations to the lower part of the pillow user's head. Reference numeral 9 denotes a cooling mat, which may be of any material as long as it is placed on the top surface of the heat exchanger plates 6 and 7 and transmits the cold and heat of the heat exchanger plates and provides suitable cushioning properties to the pillow user; for example, water and foam. Mats made of urethane or encapsulated with silicone gel are suitable.
