Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant shaping pillow technology, specifically a medical-based anti-suffocation safety correction shaping pillow. Background Technology
[0002] Most baby shaping pillows on the market have significant structural design flaws and do not conform to the human body's physiological curves. Infants' cervical spines differ from adults'; they haven't yet developed a physiological curve and are essentially straight. Pillows for infants aged 0-1 years should have a medically required zero height. Most double-sided shaping pillows are only 6-8 cm high, with the front and back fabrics directly sewn together. This results in the actual height of the middle part of the pillow supporting the infant's head being only 50% of the pillow's height, approximately 3-4 cm higher. Subtracting the weight of the head, this is at least 2-3 cm higher, not zero height, which does not conform to medical theory and the requirements of human physiological development. Long-term use affects the formation of the infant's first physiological curve (cervical lordosis), harming their physical and mental health. Instead of shaping the infant's head, the structure of these pillows in the center easily leads to flat head or plagiocephaly. Furthermore, once a flat head develops, the structural flaws prevent the back of the head from being properly supported for correction.
[0003] Another type of head-shaping pillow, with a hollow center and a groove, achieves a zero-height position, but it is mostly fixed in shape. Since babies vary in age at the time of purchase, or as their skulls grow, the central groove cannot be flexibly adjusted to enlarge or tighten. It cannot keep the back of the baby's head suspended or at zero height to adjust and correct head shape as needed, especially failing to correct flat heads or flat heads that are tilted to the left or right. Furthermore, it should be noted that the fixed central groove cannot be adjusted to fit different baby head shapes and the changing head shapes at different ages. The pulling action of the drawstring on the outer edge of the pillow is extremely weak and cannot truly fix the head shape.
[0004] Another type of shaping pillow with certain shaping and correction functions is made by stacking and combining multiple pre-formed individual pads. The operation is extremely cumbersome and the pillow is prone to loosening and instability, resulting in unsatisfactory correction effects. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a medically-based, suffocation-preventing, head-shaping pillow. The pillow comprises a base and a main pillow component, with the main pillow component and the base connected entirely or partially by connectors. Adjusting these connectors allows for the adjustment of the size or shape of the support area on the main pillow component, accommodating different head shapes and growth changes at different ages. This invention provides infants with a head-shaping pillow that conforms to medical ergonomics and physiological curves, effectively and scientifically correcting flat head syndrome. It is simple, convenient, and highly practical.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is as follows: A medical-based anti-suffocation safety correction and shaping pillow includes a base pad and a main pillow component. The base pad and the main pillow component are connected in whole or in part by a connector. The size or shape of the support area on the main pillow component can be adjusted by adjusting or combining the main pillow component and fastening the connector.
[0007] In the above technical solution, the main pillow component is adopted as an integral or separate assembly.
[0008] In the above technical solution, the main pillow component includes an outer pillowcase and a breathable inner core disposed inside the outer pillowcase, and at least one side of the outer pillowcase is made of an anti-suffocation mesh.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the outer pillowcase is also provided with a drawstring for shaping.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the entire outer pillowcase is made of anti-suffocation mesh or a combination of fabric and anti-suffocation mesh.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the base pad is also connected to multiple sets of inserts, and the inserts are matched with pads or shims.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the insert includes side inserts near both sides of the base pad and a central insert located in the middle of the base pad, the side inserts matching the padding member and the central insert matching the gasket.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the base pad adopts a single layer, multiple layers or composite layers or a sleeve structure. When the base pad adopts a sleeve structure, the base pad is provided with a single layer or multiple layers of filling core, the base pad is provided with a filling port, and a closing component is provided at the filling port position.
[0014] In the above technical solution, both the breathable inner core and the filling inner core are made of textiles, natural materials or artificial materials, and the selected materials have a shape and structure that facilitates air circulation.
[0015] In the above technical solution, when the base pad and the main pillow are connected by the connector, the connector includes a plurality of first connecting parts fixedly connected to the base pad and a plurality of second connecting parts fixedly connected to the main pillow. The first connecting parts and the second connecting parts cooperate to connect, and the first connecting parts at different positions can be connected to the second connecting parts at different positions.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When using this shaping pillow, the size and shape of the support area on the main pillow can be adjusted by adjusting the main pillow piece and fastening the connectors at different positions. This ensures that the baby's head is positioned within the support area that matches the baby's head (the shape of the support area can be set to the common U-shape, Ω-shape, or O-shape), and the baby's head remains at 0 height, conforming to the baby's physiological curve. This evenly supports and distributes head pressure, thus ensuring normal head development and shaping. It can effectively prevent flat head or plagiocephaly defects in baby's head development and minimize the risk of suffocation when the baby's mouth and nose are covered during the use of this shaping pillow.
[0017] 2. When an infant has a flat head, the shaping pillow described in this utility model can effectively correct the flat head. Specifically, the main pillow and the fastening connector can be flexibly adjusted according to the head shape to set the size of the support area to keep the back of the infant's head suspended. The principle of natural downward growth due to gravity can be used to correct the flat head.
[0018] 3. In the shaping pillow described in this utility model, the base pad is provided with multiple sets of pockets or the base pad is set as a sleeve structure, which facilitates the enhanced correction of infant head tilt or boat-shaped head. The treatment for infant head tilt correction involves raising the height of the tilted side by matching a shim in the base pad or pocket at the corresponding position. Compared with the existing technology that simply uses a drawstring to raise the height of the main pillow to achieve correction, this method is more effective in correcting the infant's head shape. Furthermore, this utility model can avoid the risk of suffocation caused by the drawstring adjusting the height of the main pillow too high during the correction process, which could result in the infant's face pressing on their mouth and nose while sleeping on their side. That is, this utility model lowers the height of the main pillow on the side by setting a shim in the middle of the base pad or pocket, reducing the risk of suffocation when the infant uses this shaping pillow for correction. The treatment for boat-shaped head correction involves placing a harder pad in the pocket or base pad at the corresponding position on the back of the infant's head, which provides stronger pressure than the relatively soft center of a regular shaping pillow, thus more effectively correcting the already formed boat-shaped head.
[0019] In addition, this invention sets the base pad as a sleeve-like structure, which makes it easy to place filling cores of different heights inside the base pad according to the different age periods of the infant, so that the height of the base pad meets the growth needs of the infant, thereby further improving the needs of the infant's growth and development.
[0020] 4. The shaping pillow of this utility model is made of an anti-suffocation mesh or a fabric combined with an anti-suffocation mesh to make an outer pillowcase, thereby further reducing the risk of suffocation caused by the pressure on the mouth and nose when the infant uses this shaping pillow.
[0021] 5. The shaping pillow described in this utility model has a breathable inner core and the shape and structure of the materials selected for the filling inner core that facilitate air circulation, making the air flow more smoothly and the baby's breathing easier, further reducing the risk of suffocation when the baby uses this shaping pillow.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A medical-based anti-suffocation safety and shaping pillow includes a base pad 100 and a main pillow component 200. The base pad 100 and the main pillow component 200 are connected entirely or partially by connectors 300. When partially fixed and partially connected by connectors 300, the upper half is fixed, while the lower half is movable. [That is, the support area 201 set in the center of the base pad 100 and the main pillow component 200 at this position is not completely closed, allowing for better air circulation between this part of the base pad 100 and the support area 201 set in the center of the main pillow component 200. Compared with traditional shaping pillows (where the central support area and the base pad are completely sealed and stitched together, forming a closed structure with no air circulation), this new shaping pillow has a certain anti-suffocation effect.] For example, the upper half is fixed, and only the lower half is connected by connectors.
[0026] The main pillow component has a support area 201 at its center. Specifically, the main pillow component 200 includes an outer pillowcase 202 and a breathable inner core 203 located inside the outer pillowcase 202. At least one side of the outer pillowcase 202 is made of an anti-suffocation mesh 204. Of course, the entire outer pillowcase 202 can also be made of an anti-suffocation mesh 204 or a combination of fabric and anti-suffocation mesh 204. The breathable inner core 203 can be made of one or more of the following materials: silicone, memory foam, latex, traditional Chinese medicine, down, natural fibers, plant materials (such as millet, buckwheat hulls, etc.), chemical fibers, synthetic fibers, textiles, natural materials, and artificial materials (such as TPE thermoplastic elastomer). Furthermore, the main pillow component can be made in a one-piece or separate combination manner. For example, the main pillow component can be made of a one-piece main pillow component or multiple main pillow components to form the support area. By adjusting or combining the main pillow components and fastening the connectors at different positions, the size and shape of the support area can be customized. For example, the main pillow component can be a one-piece inverted U-shaped, Ω-shaped, or O-shaped pillow component, or multiple main pillow components can be combined to form an inverted U-shaped, Ω-shaped, or O-shaped structure that adapts to the shape of the outer surface of the human head. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hollow center section serves as the support area 201. When the baby's head is placed in the support area 201, the baby's head can be at zero height, conforming to the baby's physiological curve and evenly distributing head pressure. The size of the support area 201 can also be flexibly adjusted according to the head shape to keep the back of the head suspended to correct flat head syndrome, thus ensuring normal head development and shaping. The anti-suffocation mesh 204 can prevent the baby from suffocating. The outer pillowcase 202 is also equipped with a shaping drawstring 205. By pulling the shaping drawstring 205, the outer pillowcase 202 can be contracted, causing the internal breathable core 203 to gather. This allows the height of the main pillowcase 200 to be adjusted according to actual needs, making it more suitable for use. Furthermore, the connector 300 can be made of soft fasteners such as Velcro, cord loops, zippers, elastic bands, and webbing, or rigid fasteners such as snap fasteners, buttons, buckles, ladder buckles, hooks, snaps, magnetic snaps, D-rings, snaps, and clips, in combination with one or more of these. When the base pad 100 and the main pillow 200 are connected by the connector 300, the connector 300 includes several first connecting parts 301 fixedly connected to the base pad 100 and several second connecting parts 302 fixedly connected to the main pillow 200. The first connecting parts 301 and the second connecting parts 302 cooperate to connect, and the first connecting parts 301 at different positions can connect with the second connecting parts 302 at different positions. The connector on the base pad can be located on the top, bottom, or side of the base pad.
[0027] For example, when Velcro is used for the connector 300, the first connecting part 301 is a rough or barbed surface, and the second connecting part 302 is a barbed or rough surface. This allows the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 to be bonded together, and the second connecting part 302 can be bonded to any position of the first connecting part 301, thereby enabling the main pillow 200 to form support areas 201 of different shapes and sizes as required.
[0028] For example, when the connector 300 uses a buckle (such as a snap or button), the first connecting part 301 is a male or female buckle, and the second connecting part 302 is a female or male buckle. This allows the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 to be fastened together, and the second connecting part 302 can be fastened to the first connecting part 301 at any position, thereby enabling the main pillow 200 to form support areas 201 of different shapes and sizes as required.
[0029] By manually adjusting or combining the connectors at different positions, the main pillow component 200 can be formed into support areas 201 of different shapes and sizes as required.
[0030] When the main pillow component and the base pad 100 are connected by connectors, the size and / or shape of the fixed support area can be adjusted by adjusting or combining the main pillow component and fastening the connectors at different positions. (That is, the shape of the main pillow can be set by moving or combining the main pillow component and using Velcro (or buttons) to move, stick and fasten it with Velcro (a long strip or several buttons or buttons at different positions) at different positions on the base pad).
[0031] Furthermore, the base pad 100 can be a single layer, multiple layers, or a composite layer, or a sleeve structure. When the base pad 100 adopts a sleeve structure, the matching base pad 100 is provided with a single layer or multiple layers of filling core 102, and multiple sets of inserts 103 are fixedly connected to the base pad 100. The inserts 103 are matched with gaskets 104 or shims 106. Specifically, the inserts 103 include side inserts 107 near both sides of the base pad 100 and a central insert 108 located in the middle of the base pad 100. The side inserts 107 are matched with shims. 106. The middle pocket 108 is matched with a pad 104. By adding a shim 106 in the side pocket 107, the height of the two sides of the shaping pillow can be adjusted to correct the problem of left and right head tilt. The middle pocket 108 can be filled with a hard pad 104 as needed to apply pressure to the head to correct the problem of boat head. Of course, in actual use, the pad 104 or the shim 106 can also be placed through the filling hole provided by the base pad itself to still achieve an enhanced correction and shaping effect.
[0032] In addition, the outer cover is equipped with a filling opening, and a closure component (button, Velcro, etc.) 105 is provided at the filling opening. The closure component 105 can also be a layer of fabric, which is hidden in a layer of fabric, such as a household pillowcase without buttons. The filling core 102 inside the base pad 100 can be filled into the base pad 100 through the filling opening. Of course, depending on the use needs, it can be left unfilled. Alternatively, two layers or multiple layers of filling core 102 can be placed in the base pad 100 according to the different age periods of the baby, so that the height of the base pad 100 meets the growth needs of the baby, thereby further enhancing the baby's growth and development needs. The filling core 102 can be made of one or more of the following materials: silicone, memory foam, latex, traditional Chinese medicine, down, natural fibers, plant materials, chemical fibers, synthetic fibers, textiles, natural materials, and artificial materials. The shape and structure of the filling materials selected for the filling core 102 and the breathable core 203 are designed to facilitate air circulation.
