[0001] The present invention relates to a pillow for infants.

Background Art

[0002] In an infant immediately after breastfeeding, "regurgitation" is likely to occur, in which breast milk or infant formula drunk into the stomach flows back from the stomach through the esophagus into the oral cavity. Infants with underdeveloped respiratory organs, esophagus, etc. may suffocate because they cannot expel breast milk or infant formula that has flowed back into the oral cavity or nasal cavity due to regurgitation. Therefore, a pillow for infants that suppresses regurgitation in infants is known.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a pillow for infants whose shape when viewed from the side is formed in a triangular shape. The upper surface on which the infant is placed in the pillow for infants is inclined at an angle within the range of 5° to 20° with respect to the bedding surface. Therefore, the pillow for infants holds the upper body of the infant in a state inclined at an angle within the range of 5° to 20° with respect to the bedding surface. By inclining the infant in this way, the occurrence of regurgitation can be suppressed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The pillow for infants described in Patent Document 1 is composed of a polyurethane cushion, which is a soft material, in order to hold the infant in an inclined position. The infant placed on the pillow for infants is held in a posture with the upper body raised at an angle within the range of 5° to 20° with respect to the bedding surface due to the inclination of the upper surface. At this time, the head of the infant is held by the cushion.

[0006] The polyurethane used to construct the infant pillow described in Patent Document 1 is highly flexible and has excellent shock absorption properties, so it is often used as a component in cushions and the like. However, polyurethane has lower thermal conductivity and breathability compared to other resin materials, making it difficult for heat and moisture to escape to the outside. Therefore, in the pillow described in Claim 1, which uses polyurethane as a component, heat and moisture tend to accumulate in the infant's head and back, and comfort decreases as the usage time increases.

[0007] The objective of this invention is to provide an infant pillow that can suppress spitting up in infants while maintaining the infant's comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The inventors investigated an infant pillow that could suppress spitting up in infants while maintaining the infant's comfort. After diligent research, the inventors came up with the following configuration.

[0009] An infant pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head rest for supporting the infant's head, a shoulder rest connected to the head rest and supporting at least the infant's shoulders, and a support portion that supports at least one of the head rest or the shoulder rest relative to the sleeping surface on which the infant pillow is placed. The head rest and the shoulder rest are made of a plate-like member made of metal or resin having a plurality of through holes, and are supported by the support portion such that they have an inclination, with the height from the sleeping surface increasing from the shoulder rest toward the head rest.

[0010] In the above configuration, the head rest and shoulder rest portions of the infant pillow are made of plate-like members made of metal or resin having multiple through holes. Furthermore, the head rest and shoulder rest portions are raised from the bedding surface by a support portion so that the head rest portion is higher than the shoulder rest portion. As a result, the head rest and shoulder rest portions dissipate heat, moisture, sweat, etc. released from the infant's body from the bedding surface side through the properties of the mesh and the multiple through holes. Therefore, the thermal conductivity and breathability of the infant pillow are higher than those of a pillow made of a soft material such as polyurethane and placed in close contact with the bedding surface. In addition, the infant pillow holds the infant's head at a position higher than the infant's shoulders and abdomen. This makes it possible to suppress spitting up while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0011] From another perspective, the infant pillow of the present invention preferably includes the following configuration: The head rest and the shoulder rest are made of a mesh-like material.

[0012] In the above configuration, the head rest and shoulder rest, which are made of a mesh member made of metal or resin, have higher thermal conductivity and breathability compared to polyurethane and the like. Furthermore, since the mesh member has multiple meshes which are through holes, the breathability can be improved by increasing the porosity, which is the ratio of the area of ​​through holes per unit area. In addition, since the mesh member is made by weaving together multiple members, it has elasticity due to the movement and bending of the multiple members while maintaining the overall shape. As a result, it is possible to suppress spitting up by the infant while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0013] From another perspective, the infant pillow of the present invention preferably includes the following configuration: The support portion is configured to allow the inclination angle of the head rest portion and the shoulder rest portion with respect to the sleeping surface to be changed.

[0014] According to the above configuration, the infant pillow can adjust the angles of the head rest and shoulder rest relative to the sleeping surface according to the infant's age, body shape, and degree of regurgitation. Therefore, the infant pillow can maintain a posture suitable for the infant's condition while holding the infant's head at a position higher than the infant's shoulders and abdomen. This makes it possible to suppress regurgitation while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0015] From another perspective, the infant pillow of the present invention preferably includes the following configuration: The head rest portion is curved toward the sleeping surface and has a concave surface on which the back of the infant's head can be positioned.

[0016] In the above configuration, the head rest holds the back of the infant's head with a concave curved surface that curves toward the bedding surface. Therefore, the head rest prevents the infant from sliding or rolling off due to the inclination of the infant pillow. Furthermore, the head rest can maintain a natural supine posture while holding the infant's head higher than the infant's abdomen. Moreover, since the head rest holds the back of the infant's head with a concave curved surface, the weight of the infant's head does not concentrate on the part of the back of the infant's head that is closest to the bedding surface. Therefore, the head rest can suppress deformation of the back of the infant's head with the concave curved surface. This makes it possible to suppress spitting up by the infant while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0017] From another perspective, the infant pillow of the present invention preferably includes the following configuration: The shoulder rest portion is inclined with respect to the shoulder rest portion such that, when viewed in the width direction, a virtual plane including the shoulder rest surface of the shoulder rest portion is located between the portion of the concave curved surface closest to the sleeping surface and the upper edge of the concave curved surface.

[0018] In the above configuration, the head rest can be inclined relative to the shoulder rest surface to form a concave curved surface with a diameter and depth capable of holding the back of the infant's head in the same positional relationship as the infant's head relative to its back in an upright position. The concave curved surface holds the head of an infant in a supine position at the same position and angle as the head of an infant in an upright position relative to its upper body. This makes it possible to suppress spitting up while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an infant pillow includes a head placement portion for supporting an infant's head, a shoulder placement portion connected to the head placement portion and at least supporting the infant's shoulders, and a support portion for supporting at least one of the head placement portion or the shoulder placement portion with respect to the bedding surface. The head placement portion and the shoulder placement portion are constituted by a plate-like member made of metal or resin having a plurality of through-holes, and are supported by the support portion so as to have an inclination in which the height from the bedding surface increases from the shoulder placement portion toward the head placement portion. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the regurgitation of the infant while maintaining the comfort of the infant.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0025] Below, an infant pillow 1, which is Embodiment 1 of the infant pillow according to the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the same parts will not be repeated. The dimensions of the components in each figure do not faithfully represent the dimensions of the actual components or the dimensional ratios of each component.

[0026] <Embodiment 1> The infant pillow 1 of Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the infant pillow 1 in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 2 is a top view of the infant pillow 1. Figure 3 is a side view of the infant pillow 1. Figure 4 is a side view showing an infant B lying supine on the infant pillow 1. In the following embodiments, the left-right direction of the head of the infant B placed on the infant pillow 1 is defined as the lateral direction of the infant pillow 1, the direction from the head to the shoulders of the infant B is defined as the vertical direction, and the direction perpendicular to the sleeping surface G on which the infant B and the infant pillow 1 are placed in the futon, bed, etc., is defined as the height direction.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the infant pillow 1 is a pillow intended for infants B aged 0 to 18 months. The infant pillow 1 has a head rest 2, a shoulder rest 3, a support 6, a cushion 7, and a cover 8.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the head rest 2 is the part on which the head of infant B is rested. The head rest 2 is a mesh member formed by weaving metal wires. In plan view, the head rest 2 has a frame 4 that is roughly rectangular and a mesh 5, for example made of iron, stretched over the frame 4. The head rest 2 is composed of a part of the frame 4 and a part of the mesh 5. The head rest 2 is constructed in a plate shape. The head rest 2 has a plurality of through holes 5a, which are the mesh openings of the mesh 5.

[0029] The shoulder support section 3 is the part that supports the shoulders and part of the chest of infant B. The shoulder support section 3 is a mesh member formed by, for example, weaving together iron wire. In plan view, the shoulder support section 3 has a frame 4 that is roughly rectangular and an iron mesh 5 stretched over the frame 4. The shoulder support section 3 is composed of a part of the frame 4 and a part of the mesh 5. The head support section 2 is constructed in a plate shape. The shoulder support section 3 has a plurality of through holes 5a that are the mesh of the mesh 5. The shoulder support section 3 is located adjacent to the head support section 2 in the vertical direction.

[0030] Thus, the head rest 2 and the shoulder rest 3 are constructed from the same frame 4 and net 5. In other words, the head rest 2 is located on one vertical portion of the net 5 stretched over the frame 4, and the shoulder rest 3 is located on the other vertical portion. The head rest 2 and the shoulder rest 3 are formed as a single unit.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the support portion 6 lifts the head rest portion 2 and the shoulder rest portion 3 from the bed surface G. The support portion 6 is connected to one end of the head rest portion 2 on the head side in the longitudinal direction. The support portion 6 has a pipe-shaped contact portion 6a that contacts the bed surface G, and connecting portions 6b that extend in the height direction from both ends of the contact portion 6a. The connecting portions 6b are connected to the end of the head rest portion 2.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the cushion 7 is a cushioning member that disperses the impact on infant B and the reaction force from the head rest 2 and shoulder rest 3. The cushion 7 is configured to cover the head rest surface 2a of the head rest 2 and the shoulder rest surface 3a of the shoulder rest 3. The cushion 7 is made of, for example, a highly breathable honeycomb structure cushioning material. The cushion 7 is placed on the head rest surface 2a and the shoulder rest surface 3a. In other words, the cushion 7 is located between infant B and the head rest 2 and shoulder rest 3.

[0033] The cover 8 covers the head rest 2, the shoulder rest 3, and the cushion 7. The cover 8 is constructed in a bag-like shape. The cover 8 is made of pile fabric. The cover 8 is configured to accommodate the head rest 2, the shoulder rest 3, and the cushion 7 inside.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4, the infant B is placed on the infant pillow 1 via the cushion 7 and cover 8 on the head rest 2 and shoulder rest 3. The head of infant B is placed on the head rest 2. The shoulder rest 3 is placed on the shoulder rest of infant B's shoulders and chest. The infant pillow 1 holds the head of infant B higher than the shoulders and abdomen of infant B. The infant pillow 1 also holds the head and shoulders of infant B at a distance from the sleeping surface G. Therefore, the infant pillow 1 creates a space between the head rest 2 and shoulder rest 3 and the sleeping surface G through which air can flow.

[0035] Heat and sweat emitted from infant B's head and back pass through the cushion 7, head rest 2, shoulder rest 3, and cover 8, and are expelled from the space between the head rest 2 and shoulder rest 3 and the bedding surface G (see arrow). Therefore, the thermal conductivity and breathability of the infant pillow 1 are higher than those of a pillow made of a soft material such as polyurethane and placed in close contact with the bedding surface G. This makes it possible to suppress spitting up by infant B while maintaining infant B's comfort.

[0036] <Embodiment 2> Using Figures 5 to 8, we will describe the infant pillow 1A, which is Embodiment 2 of the infant pillow of the present invention. Figure 5 is a perspective view of the infant pillow 1A in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 6 is a top view of the infant pillow. Figure 7 is a side view of the infant pillow 1A. Figure 8 is a side view showing an infant B lying supine on the infant pillow 1A. In the following, components similar to those in the above embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions will be omitted, and only components that differ from the above embodiment will be described.

[0037] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the infant pillow 1A has a head rest 9, a shoulder rest 3, a support 6, a cushion 11, and a cover 8.

[0038] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the head rest 9 is the part on which the head of infant B is rested. The head rest 9 is a mesh member formed, for example, by weaving together iron wire. The head rest 9 has a frame 4 that is roughly rectangular in plan view and an iron mesh 10 stretched over the frame 4. The head rest 9 is composed of a part of the frame 4 and a part of the mesh 10. The head rest 9 is constructed in a plate shape. The head rest 9 has a plurality of through holes 10a that are meshes of the mesh 10.

[0039] The head rest section 9 has a concave curved surface 9b projecting toward the bed surface G at approximately the center of the mesh 10 (the mesh 10 on the concave curved surface 9b is omitted). The concave curved surface 9b supports the back of the head of the infant B in a supine position. The concave curved surface 9b is composed of a part of a sphere. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the head rest surface 9a of the head rest section 9, the concave curved surface 9b has a circular outer edge. In this way, the concave curved surface 9b is configured to cover the back of the head of the infant B.

[0040] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the head rest 9 is inclined with respect to the shoulder rest surface 3a so that it forms a concave curved surface 9b with a diameter and depth capable of holding the back of the infant B's head in the same positional relationship as the infant B's head in an upright position. The portion T of the concave curved surface 9b closest to the bed surface G is located on the bed surface G side of the virtual plane P that includes the shoulder rest surface 3a of the shoulder rest 3 (see Figure 8). The concave curved surface 9b holds the head of the infant B in a supine position at the same position and angle of the head relative to the upper body of the infant B in an upright position.

[0041] Cushion 11 is a cushioning member for infant B. Cushion 11 is configured to cover the head rest surface 9a of the head rest 9 and the shoulder rest surface 3a of the shoulder rest 3. Cushion 11 is made of, for example, a highly breathable honeycomb structure cushioning material. Cushion 11 is placed on the head rest surface 9a of the head rest 9 and the shoulder rest surface 3a of the shoulder rest 3. In cushion 11, the head cushioning portion 11a that overlaps with the concave curved surface 9b when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the head rest surface 9a is made thinner or softer than other parts so that it can easily deform along the concave curved surface 9b. The head cushioning portion 11a contacts the head of infant B not only from below but also from the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0042] The infant pillow 1A, configured in this way, holds the back of the infant B's head with its concave curved surface 9b. At this time, the head cushion 11a distributes the pressure applied to the infant B's head from the concave curved surface 9b. Therefore, by holding the infant B's head with the concave curved surface 9b, the infant pillow 1A suppresses the infant B from sliding or rolling due to the inclination of the infant pillow 1A, and the head cushion 11a distributes the force generated on the infant B's head, alleviating discomfort.

[0043] The heat and sweat emitted from infant B's head and back pass through the cushion 11, head rest 9, shoulder rest 3, and cover 8, and are discharged from the space between the head rest 9 and shoulder rest 3 and the bedding surface G (see arrow). Therefore, the thermal conductivity and breathability of the infant pillow 1A are higher than those of a pillow made of a soft material such as polyurethane and placed in close contact with the bedding surface G.

[0044] Furthermore, the infant pillow 1A maintains a supine position equivalent to an upright position by using its concave curved surface 9b to hold the portion of the infant B's head that is closest to the bed surface G at a predetermined position on the bed surface G side of the virtual plane P which includes the shoulder support surface 3a. Thus, it is possible to maintain the infant B's natural supine position while holding the infant B's head at a position higher than the infant B's shoulders and abdomen. This makes it possible to suppress spitting up by the infant B while maintaining the infant B's comfort.

[0045] <Modified form of Embodiment 2> Using Figure 9, we will describe infant pillow 1B, which is a modified version of infant pillow 1 and 1A. Figure 9 is a side view of infant pillow 1B, which is a modified version of infant pillow 1A in an embodiment of the present invention, with the inclination angle adjusted.

[0046] As shown in Figure 9, the infant pillow 1B may be configured so that the connection angle of the support part 6 to the head rest parts 2 and 9 (head rest part 9 in this embodiment) can be changed. The infant pillow 1B has a head rest part 9, a shoulder rest part 3, a support part 6, a cushion 11, a cover 8, and a connecting part 6c.

[0047] The connecting part 6c connects the support part 6 and the head rest part 9. The connecting part 6c also changes the angle of the support part 6 relative to the head rest part 9. The connecting part 6c is configured to allow the support part 6 to rotate around a rotation axis that extends in the width direction of the head rest part 9. The connecting part 6c can hold the support part 6 at any angle relative to the head rest part 2. By rotating the connecting part 6c, the support part 6 changes the height from the head rest part 9 and one end of the shoulder rest part 3 (the head side of the head rest part 9) to the bed surface G. Therefore, the support part 6 inclines the shoulder rest part 3 and the head rest part 9 such that the height from the bed surface G increases as you move from the shoulder rest part 3 towards the head rest part 9. The support part 6 is also adjustable in the inclination angle of the shoulder rest part 3 and the head rest part 9 relative to the bed surface G. For example, the support part is configured to allow the inclination angle of the shoulder rest part 3 to be adjusted in the range of 5° to 20°.

[0048] The infant pillow 1B, configured in this way, allows for adjustment of the angles of the head rests 2 and 9 and the shoulder rests 3 relative to the sleeping surface G, depending on the infant's age, body shape, and the degree of regurgitation. Therefore, the infant pillow 1B can maintain a posture suitable for the infant's condition while holding the infant's head higher than the infant's shoulders and abdomen. This helps to suppress regurgitation while maintaining the infant's comfort.

[0049] <Other Embodiments> In each of the embodiments described above, the infant pillows 1, 1A, and 1B hold the head and shoulders of infant B with the head rests 2 and 9 and the shoulder rests 3. However, the infant pillow may also have a configuration that includes parts to hold the abdomen, waist, and legs of infant B.

[0050] In each of the embodiments described above, the infant pillows 1, 1A, and 1B hold the infant B with inclined head rests 2, 9 and shoulder rests 3. However, the infant pillow may also be configured to have a fixing belt to prevent the infant B from slipping down. The fixing belt is provided, for example, on the shoulder rests. The fixing belt secures the chest of the infant B.

[0051] In each of the embodiments described above, the support portion 6 of the infant pillows 1, 1A, and 1B is connected to the head-side end of the head rest portion 2 and 9. However, the support portion of the infant pillow may also be connected to the abdominal-side end of the shoulder rest portion. As shown in Figure 10, the support portion 6 of the infant pillow 1C is connected to the abdominal side of the shoulder rest portion 3 by a connecting portion 6b. Furthermore, the support portion 6 of the infant pillow 1C may be configured to allow for adjustment of its angle relative to the shoulder rest portion 3.

[0052] In each of the embodiments described above, the infant pillows 1, 1A, and 1B have head rests 2 and 9 and shoulder rests 3. However, the infant pillow may also have a lower body rest for resting the abdomen and lower body of the infant B on the leg side of the shoulders. As shown in Figure 11, the infant pillow 1D has a lower body rest 12 at the end of the shoulder rest 3. The lower body rest 12 is connected to the shoulder rest 3. The lower body rest 12 is made of a cushioning material. In addition, the infant pillows 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D may have a fixing part 13 to hold the infant B so that it does not slip off the infant pillows 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D. The fixing part 13 is located, for example, on the shoulder rest 3. The fixing part 13 is made of, for example, a belt that holds the upper body of the infant B.

[0053] In each of the embodiments described above, the head rests 2, 9 and shoulder rests 3 of the infant pillows 1, 1A, and 1B are composed of a frame 4 and iron mesh 5, 10 stretched over the frame 4.
