Description

Memory Foam Health Pillow {MEMORY FOAM PILLOW FOR HEALTH}

The present invention relates to a pillow, and more particularly, to a memory foam health pillow having a health pillow according to the inventor's prior patent registration 10-0428060 with a memory foam material to increase its functionality and fit.

Recently, many so-called memory foam pillows made of shape memory or low-speed recovery materials such as polyether-based polyurethane foam or polyol have been used. Unlike sponges, memory foam pillows have a long recovery time to their original state, but are responsive to the temperature and pressure of the human body in contact with them and shrink and deform in the shape of the human body. Provides a boosting effect.

The typical shape of such a memory pillow consists of a neck supporting part and a laryngeal part in a smooth sleeping posture, and the neck supporting part has a circular or semicircular cross-sectional shape having a larger diameter than the laryngeal supporting part. This form is for the function of naturally supporting and correcting the curved cervical spine of the neck area. However, due to the characteristics of the memory foam material, it is not easy to form the support at a suitable height on the neck, and if formed at a sufficient height, the face may be buried and may cause sleep disturbance. In addition, even when formed at the right height in the neck, when lying sideways in the sleeping position can not support the shoulder height can not take effective sleep. Therefore, the memory foam material merely increases the fit of the pillow, so a means for reinforcing the function as a pillow needs to be devised.

In the Utility Model Registration No. 20-0419801, a structure in which a height retaining member is inserted into a pillow shape of a typical memory foam material as described above is made of urethane foam having a hardness higher than that of the memory foam material. The height holding member forms the neck support part before and after the center part, the laryngeal support part and the left and right side face support parts to support each part at a different height. In addition, each height holding member is made to be able to adjust the height by inserting a separate plate in one or several layers. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the function as a pillow by maintaining a certain height depending on the body part along with the soft fit of the typical memory foam pillow.

Ideally, pillows will be provided in different forms depending on the user's physical condition, body type and the user's sleeping habits.

That is, since the physical condition is different from person to person and the boundary between the body parts also varies according to the body type, in the conventionally proposed structure, which does not consider such body condition and body shape, each height maintaining member is rather It may hinder a soft fit.

The present inventors have been studying the optimal pillow shape through the ergonomic design before the present invention, as a result has been invented the health pillow of the above-mentioned registered patent. Prior patents stably support the curved cervical spine in the supine position and tow properly, and in the supine position, the cervical spine and the thoracic spine can be aligned with the floor in a straight line to increase the effect of cervical spine correction. We proposed the optimal type of health pillow considering the condition and body type.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a memory foam health pillow having a feeling of wearing a memory foam material by using the characteristics of the memory foam material while maintaining the functionality as a health pillow by covering the health pillow of the pre-registered patent as a main body.

Memory foam health pillow according to the present invention to achieve the above object is provided with a pillow body, the inner shell of the memory foam material is formed around the pillow body to restore after shrinkage between the body and the pillow body, the pillow body is directly laid It consists of a neck support that supports the neck of the posture at a certain height and curve shape, and is formed higher than the left and right sides of the neck support, and supports the side face support that supports the side of the face in the side lying position and the shoulder close contact with the shoulder area. The neck support is curved in a shape corresponding to the curve of the neck and larynx of the body when viewed from the side and curved to accommodate the neck circumference when viewed from the front. It is characterized in that it has an extension extending from the rear left and right to allow.

Preferably, the endothelial may extend from the back of the neck support of the pillow body to form a laryngeal support that can support the user's larynx.

Preferably it comprises a bag-shaped envelope for covering around the endothelium, and interposed between the endothelium and the endothelium, the height of each part corresponding to the neck support, side face support, shoulder contact and the bottom of the pillow body or It may include a control member that can adjust the thickness.

The pillow body may be provided as a solid material such as a synthetic resin molding or a semi-solid material molded from a urethane foam having a hardness such that the shape does not collapse by the weight of the user's head.

The outer shell is thin, easy to absorb and breathe, and is provided in a fabric having elasticity that can be flexibly stretched and responded to its shrinkage recovery in close contact with the inner surface, for example, a knitted fabric or a spandex fabric of ordinary fibers. It is preferable to be.

The adjusting member may be provided as a memory foam material such as an inner skin or a sponge, and a urethane foam molding having a slightly higher hardness. In addition, the adjustment member corresponding to the bottom of the adjustment member may be provided as a solid of synthetic resin molding.

On the other hand, the memory foam health pillow according to the present invention to achieve the above object, the pillow body, and the memory to be restored after shrinking between the body and the pillow body is foam molded in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape around it to accommodate the pillow body The inner shell of the foam material is provided, and the pillow body supports the neck part of the lying posture with a certain height and a curved shape, and is formed higher than the left and right sides of the neck support part, so Consisting of the side face support and the shoulder close contact with the shoulder, the neck support is curved in a shape corresponding to the curve of the neck and larynx of the body when viewed from the side, and the neck is widely received when viewed from the front. Curved rearwards and extended rearward left and right to distribute and accommodate the weight of the head in a flat view It consists of having an extension part.

According to the present invention, as well as the effect of cervical traction and correction by the health pillow body optimized in the above-mentioned patent registration, as well as contraction and deformation between the health pillow and the human body by the endothelial of the memory foam material to contact the human body evenly. It provides comfort and at the same time distributes the load of the human body evenly to increase the fit is to provide a good sleep.

Preferred embodiments of the memory foam health pillow according to the present invention are as shown in the accompanying drawings. Examples of the drawings are only to help the understanding of the present invention to the last, may be different from the actual, such as exaggerated or omitted for each main part.

As a first embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6, the memory foam health pillow according to the present invention is composed of a pillow body 100 and the inner shell 200 and the outer shell 300 of the cloth material, Preferably it includes an adjustment member (410, 420, 430, 430 ', 440, 440') that can adjust the height or thickness of the pillow portion.

The pillow body 10 is a neck support 110 for supporting the neck portion in the user's lying down position, the side face support (120,120 ') for supporting the side of the face to the shoulder height in the side lying position, shoulder in any position Shoulder contact portion 130, 130 'to be in close contact with the site.

Referring to FIG. 3, the extension parts 111 and 111 ′ are extended to the rear left and right sides of the neck support 110 to increase the comfort by distributing the weight of the back head. The borders 113 and 113 'with the left and right side lateral face support parts 120 and 120' were roughly parabolic along the curve of the neck and face connection below the ear. Here, the line connecting the innermost points of both left and right parabolas is generally the same as the line connecting the vertices of the neck support 110.

The shape structure for the function of the neck support 110 is a circular arc shape of a radius larger than the neck circumference so as to stably receive the neck when viewed from the front, but does not interfere with the motion to turn sideways (see Fig. 2), The shape is curved with a radius of curvature considering the height of the neck and the degree of curvature of the cervical spine (see FIG. 5).

Lateral face support (120,120 ') is slightly concave to seat the side of the face of the body (see Fig. 3), and when laid sideways, the cervical spine and the thoracic spine was formed at a height considering the width of one shoulder (See Figure 6). Although not shown in detail in the drawing, the side face support parts 120 and 120 ′ may be formed to be slightly inclined to the rear, and in this case, a more comfortable posture may be taken in a side lying position.

Shoulder contact portion (130,130 ') has a distance that can be in close contact with both shoulders from the apex of the neck support 110 in consideration of the neck length of the user body, as shown in Figures 2 and 4 It was formed concave so as to be able to stably adhere along.

The pillow main body 100 in the present invention as described above is not significantly different from those listed in the prior patent. The pillow body 100 may be provided with a urethane foam having a strength that is higher in hardness than the endothelial 200 of the memory foam material and the shape does not collapse by the weight of the user's head, and also a general synthetic resin molded or wood chips It may also be provided as a solid such as water. In addition, the pillow body 100 may also be provided in the form of an empty to reduce its own weight.

Endothelial 200 of the memory foam material is somewhat different in thickness for each part of the pillow body 100, but is molded around the pillow body 100 to a generally uniform thickness to the shape corresponding to the contour of the pillow body 100 By contracting and deforming in response to the shape of the user's body part with respect to each part of the pillow body 100, while maintaining the function of the pillow body 100, each part of the user's body, namely the side of the neck and face, shoulders and boundaries between each part Evenly contact with and smoothly contact with each part and distribute and support the load to improve the fit. As a result of various implementations for such a memory foam function, it is preferable that the endothelial 200 is molded to a thickness of 2 cm to 5 cm. In the thickness of less than that hard feeling in the contraction state, the thickness of the above good fit, but the effect of the pillow body 100 was halved. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, the endothelial 100 extends rearward and rearward at the portion surrounding the neck support 110 of the pillow body 100 to support the back of the head, and then the head support 210 may be formed. . The laryngeal support 210 distributes and supports the load of the laryngeal region in a directly lying position, thereby further increasing its fit.

The outer shell 300 covered with the outer endothelium 200 is a bag shape formed to conform to the outer shape of the endothelium 200 and can be easily covered or peeled off as usual, and can be configured to wash, absorb sweat and endothelial 200. It is preferable to use a cloth, for example, a general knitted fabric or a spandex fabric, in consideration of flexible elasticity and feel corresponding to shrinkage and restoration of the fabric.

Between the endothelial 200 and the outer shell 300, the above-described adjusting members 410, 420, 430, 430 ', 440, 440' can be selected and used according to the user's physical condition.

The bottom adjustment member 410 is used to increase the height of the entire pillow at a time to form a slab, and may be provided as a urethane foam molding having a higher strength than the inner shell 200 of the synthetic resin molding or memory foam material.

The neck support adjustment member 420 and the side face support adjustment members 430 and 430 'and the shoulder contact adjustment member 440 are used to adjust the height or thickness of each part of the pillow body 100, Each may be molded into a memory foam or sponge such as the endothelium 200, and a urethane foam having a harder and slightly stretchable shape. These adjusting members can each be used in two or more layers. Here, the neck support adjustment member 420 and the left and right side face support adjustment members 430 and 430 'may be integrally molded. Shoulder-adjusting adjustment member 440 may be molded in one piece or divided into two parts.

Next, as a second embodiment, referring to Figure 7, the memory foam health pillow according to the present invention is composed of a pillow body 100 and the inner shell 200 and the outer shell 300 made of a memory foam material, endothelial (200) was formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape that generally accommodates the pillow body 100, the width, length and height of the surface is substantially constant. That is, the thickness of each part of the endothelial 200 of the memory foam material may be different for each part of the pillow body 100. In this case, the effect of improving the fit according to the shrinkage restoration peculiar to the memory foam material is exerted, for example, by filling the front, upper and rear spaces of the heavily concave neck support 110 of the pillow body 200 with the memory foam. As well as further increase the fit of the site, the cervical spine correction function for the neck support 110 may also be fully fermented. In particular, the memory foam portion filled in the rear space of the neck support portion 110 can support the laryngeal portion in a lying position immediately like the laryngeal support portion 210 in the above-described embodiment. The present embodiment may also include the aforementioned adjusting members for adjusting the height or thickness of each of the above-described pillow body 100 between the inner shell 200 and the outer shell 300.
