Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a head cover for sleeping that can improve the sleeping environment by covering the head of a sleeper. [Background technology]

[0002] Sleep is the basis of health. However, various factors can prevent a good night's sleep. Hay fever is a typical example. It is said that the number of people with hay fever in Japan reaches 25-30% of the total population. When hay fever develops, in seasons when there is a lot of pollen in the air, people may sneeze or have a runny nose not only during the daytime but also when sleeping at night, which tends to disturb a good night's sleep. In addition, in recent years, interest in preventing infectious diseases has increased due to the influence of the spread of new viruses. For example, if a family member is infected but you have to sleep in the same room as that family member, you may be concerned about the risk of infection and disturb your good night's sleep. Traditionally, wearing a sanitary mask has been used as a measure against pollen and infection, but if you go to bed while wearing a sanitary mask, the discomfort may actually reduce the quality of your sleep.

[0003] For this reason, during times when pollen is likely to scatter or when one wishes to prevent infection with viruses, it is preferable to use an air purifier or the like to remove pollen and viruses from the room before going to sleep. However, air purifiers are expensive, and many of them are stationary, so they are not necessarily easy to use. In addition, if an air purifier is used while sleeping, the motor noise, etc., may disturb a comfortable sleep.

[0004] In view of such circumstances, head covers for sleeping that cover the head of a sleeper have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a night veil in which a veil part 6 is attached in a hanging state to a pipe 1 fixed to a main body head plate 5, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 of the document. If the sleeper goes to sleep with the head covered with such a head cover for sleeping, the number of pollen, viruses, etc. approaching the sleeper's head can be reduced without wearing a sanitary mask, etc., and the sleeper can sleep in peace. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3126709 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the Night Veil of Patent Document 1 is considered to have a certain degree of weight, and is not as compact as the state shown in Figure 1 of the document, so that not only is it bulky when not in use, but it is also not easily portable when traveling, etc. Also, the Night Veil of Patent Document 1 has hard members with rigidity, such as the main body head plate 5 and the pipe 1, placed on the sleeper's head, and there is a risk that the sleeper's head may hit the main body head plate 5 or the pipe 1 when the sleeper turns over, etc., which raises doubts about safety.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a sleeping head cover that can be folded compactly, making it convenient to store and carry, and is also highly safe. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The above issues are: A cover part for covering the head of the sleeper; A frame portion that holds the cover portion in a dome-shaped expanded state; A sleeping head cover comprising: The frame portion has two annular portions formed by twisting a single elastically deformable frame wire into a figure-8 shape, The pair of opposing surfaces of the cover are held by the two annular portions of the frame. A head cover for sleeping, characterized by This is solved by providing

[0009] In the sleeping head cover of the present invention, the frame part that holds the cover part has a skeletal structure formed by twisting one elastically deformable frame wire into an 8-shape. When this 8-shaped frame wire is further twisted, the frame part can be folded compactly, as will be described in detail later. Therefore, the sleeping head cover can be stored and carried in a compact state. In addition, even if the sleeper hits his head against the frame part when turning over in his sleep, the frame wire can absorb the impact by elastically deforming. Therefore, the sleeping head cover of the present invention is also excellent in safety.

[0010] The cover and frame in the sleeping head cover of the present invention may be separate or may be integrally constructed. If the cover and frame are separate, the cover can be removed and washed, and the cover can be kept clean. In addition, the cover can be replaced depending on the purpose, temperature, etc. In this case, it is preferable to further include a wire holding member for holding the frame wire in an eight-shaped configuration.

[0011] However, when the cover part and the frame part are separate, it may be difficult to determine the positional relationship between the cover part and the frame part when attempting to reattach the cover part removed from the frame part to the frame part. This problem is particularly pronounced when the cover part is made of a flexible material such as fabric, since the cover part removed from the frame part has an indefinite shape. For this reason, it is preferable to provide a positioning mark on the cover part for positioning the cover part relative to the frame part. This makes it easier to determine the positional relationship between the cover part and the frame part, and makes it easier to attach the cover part to the frame part.

[0012] On the other hand, when the cover and the frame are integrally formed, it is preferable to use the cover to hold the frame wire in an 8-shape. This eliminates the need for the wire-holding member described above, and reduces the number of components that make up the sleeping head cover. This makes it possible to make the sleeping head cover more compact and lightweight. It also reduces manufacturing costs.

[0013] In the sleeping head cover of the present invention, it is preferable that the frame section has a grounding portion at each of the two annular portions, where the frame wire extends in a substantially straight line. When the frame section is installed, the frame section can be stably installed by making the frame section ground at the grounding portion.

[0014] In the sleeping head cover of the present invention, the cover portion comprises a front portion that is placed on the neck side of the sleeper's head, a back portion that is placed on the top side of the sleeper's head, a left side portion that is placed on the left side of the sleeper's head, and a right side portion that is placed on the right side of the sleeper's head, and it is preferable to provide a slit for inserting the sleeper's head at either the boundary between the front portion and the left side portion or the boundary between the front portion and the right side portion.

[0015] This makes it possible to more effectively prevent pollen, viruses, etc. from entering the cover part. For example, if a slit is provided in the center of the front part of the cover part, the slit is likely to be pushed open by the sleeper's neck or torso, which may allow pollen, etc., to enter through the opened part, but by providing the slit at the boundary between the front part and the left side part or the boundary between the front part and the right side part, it is possible to make the slit less likely to open.

[0016] In the sleeping head cover of the present invention, it is also preferable to provide a pocket for storing small items on the inside of the cover part or the inside of the frame part. This makes it possible to store, for example, minerals with healing effects or pieces of wood with a pleasant fragrance in the pocket for storing small items, making the space inside the cover part more suitable for sleeping. Effect of the Invention

[0017] As described above, the present invention makes it possible to provide a sleeping head cover that can be folded compactly, making it convenient to store and carry, and that is also highly safe. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] 1. Overview of the Invention A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the neck side of the sleeper in a sleeping position (lying on one's back) as viewed from the head is referred to as the "front", the top side as viewed from the head is referred to as the "rear", the left side as viewed from the head of the sleeper is referred to as the "left", the right side as viewed from the head of the sleeper is referred to as the "right", the upper side in the direction of gravity is referred to as the "upper", and the lower side in the direction of gravity is referred to as the "lower".

[0020] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing how the cover part 10 of the sleeping head cover 1 according to the present invention is attached to the frame part 20. As shown in Fig. 1, the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention includes the cover part 10 and the frame part 20. The cover part 10 is formed of a flexible sheet material, and is held in a dome-shaped expanded state by the frame part 20. By inserting the head into the expanded cover part 10 (covering the head with the cover part 10), the sleeper can sleep comfortably with reduced factors that disturb a good night's sleep (e.g., pollen, viruses, etc.).

[0021] The cover part 10 and the frame part 20 may be integrally constructed (not removable), but in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 are separate (removable). The cover part 10 is attached to the frame part 20 by covering the frame part 20 from above, as shown by the arrow A in FIG. 1. When storing or carrying, the cover part 10 is removed from the frame part 20 and folded up, so that the sleeping head cover 1 as a whole can be stored compactly. In addition, the removed cover part 10 can be washed in a washing machine or the like, so that the cover part 10 can be kept clean. Furthermore, if multiple cover parts 10 are prepared, the cover parts 10 can be replaced and used depending on the season or purpose.

[0022] Each component of the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0023] 2. Cover The cover part 10 is for covering the head of the sleeper and preparing the space around the head for sleep. The specific shape of the cover part 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can cover the entire head of the sleeper. As shown in FIG. 1, the cover part 10 of the present embodiment is formed in a dome shape having a front part 11, a back part 12, a left side part 13, and a right side part 14.

[0024] The cover part 10 is formed of a flexible surface material. Examples of such surface materials include various fabrics, mesh fabrics, and resin sheets. More specifically, the material of the cover part 10 is appropriately selected depending on the use of the sleeping head cover 1. For example, when the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention is used for the purpose of keeping out pollen, the cover part 10 can be formed of a fabric that does not easily allow pollen to pass through. Examples of such fabrics include woven fabrics with a resin-treated surface (for example, Toray Industries' "Antipollan" (registered trademark)). Furthermore, when the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention is used for the purpose of preventing infection, the cover part 10 can be formed of a fabric that does not easily allow viruses, infectious bacteria, and droplets containing these to pass through. Furthermore, when the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention is used for the purpose of keeping out insects, the cover part 10 can be formed of a mesh fabric. The cover part 10 can also be subjected to an antibacterial treatment or the like. Furthermore, when the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention is used for the purpose of blocking light, the cover part 10 can be made of a material with high light blocking properties. The cover part 10 does not need to be made entirely of the same material, and may be made of a combination of two or more types of material. In the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, the cover part 10 is made almost entirely of a woven fabric that is difficult for pollen to pass through.

[0025] The front part 11 of the cover part 10 is the part that is placed on the neck side (body side) of the sleeper's head when in use, the back part 12 is the part that is placed on the top side of the sleeper's head, the left side part 13 is the part that is placed on the left side of the sleeper's head, and the right side part 14 is the part that is placed on the right side of the sleeper's head.

[0026] The lower end side of the front part 11 is a front drape part 11a that is extended so as to be longer than the lower end edge of the frame part 20. This front drape part 11a is intended to prevent a gap from being formed between the cover part 10 and the body of the sleeper by hanging down over the body of the sleeper protruding from the cover part 10 when the sleeper inserts his / her head into the cover part 10. This makes it more difficult for pollen, viruses, etc. to penetrate into the cover part 10. The front drape part 11a may be provided on a part of the lower end side of the front part 11, but in this embodiment, it is provided on the entire lower end side of the front part 11. The front drape part 11a may be formed by connecting a part formed separately from the front part 11 to the front part 11, but in this embodiment, the front drape part 11a is formed by extending the lower end side of the front part 11.

[0027] The length L1 of the front drape portion 11a (the length of the portion of the front portion 11 that is not held by the frame portion 20; see reference symbol L1 in FIG. 1; the same applies below) is appropriately determined depending on the purpose of the sleeping head cover 1 and the material of the cover portion 10. If the front drape portion 11a is too short, there is a risk that a gap may easily form between the cover portion 10 and the body of the sleeper when the sleeper turns over in his / her sleep. For this reason, the length L1 of the front drape portion 11a is preferably 10 cm or more, more preferably 20 cm or more, and even more preferably 30 cm or more. However, if the front drape portion 11a is too long, the result may be that the entire cover portion 10 becomes large and heavy, making it difficult to fold the cover portion 10 compactly. For this reason, the length L1 of the front drape portion 11a is preferably 120 cm or less, more preferably 100 cm or less, and even more preferably 80 cm or less. In this embodiment, the length L1 of the front flap portion 11a is set to about 60 cm.

[0028] In the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, a slit 15 is provided at the boundary between the front part 11 and the left side part 13. This makes it easier to turn up the front part 11 and insert the sleeper's head into the cover part 10 even if the cover part 10 is in a taut state by the frame part 20. The slit 15 may be provided at the boundary between the front part 11 and the right side part 14.

[0029] However, when the slit 15 is provided, there is a risk that pollen, viruses, etc. may easily infiltrate into the cover part 10 through the slit 15. In this regard, in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, a slit closing means (not shown) for closing the slit 15 is provided on the inside of the slit 15. This makes it possible to close the slit 15 from the inside after inserting the head into the cover part 10, making it more difficult for pollen, viruses, etc. to infiltrate into the cover part 10. The specific configuration of the slit closing means is not particularly limited as long as it can at least partially close the slit 15. Examples of the slit closing means include buttons, strings, and hook-and-loop tapes. The position where the slit closing means is provided is also not limited, and it may be the end or outside of the slit 15.

[0030] A multi-layered portion 11b is provided in a portion along the slit 15 of the front portion 11 (a portion shown by hatching in FIG. 1), in which the fabric forming the front portion 11 is doubled. By providing this multi-layered portion 11b, the portion where the multi-layered portion 11b is provided is made heavier than other portions, and it is possible to prevent the front portion 11 from turning up and the slit 15 from opening too wide. Therefore, even when the slit 15 is not closed by the above-mentioned slit closing means (not shown), it is possible to prevent the slit 15 from opening too wide. In addition, since the portion where the multi-layered portion 11b is provided is also a portion that is frequently touched by the sleeper when putting his / her head in and out of the cover portion 10, it is easy to be worn out or scratched, and the multi-layered portion 11b can be provided to reinforce this portion. The multi-layered portion 11b may be formed by overlapping three or more layers of fabric. It may also be formed by overlapping a different type of surface material (fabric, sheet, etc.) from the surface material forming the front portion 11.

[0031] The length L2 of the slit 15 (the length of the boundary between the front surface portion 11 and the left surface portion 13 where the slit 15 is provided. See the symbol L2 in FIG. 1. The same applies below) is not particularly limited, but if the slit 15 is too short, it may be difficult to open the slit 15 wide, and it may be difficult for the sleeper to insert his / her head into the cover portion 10. For this reason, the length L2 of the slit 15 is preferably 10 cm or more, more preferably 15 m or more, and even more preferably 20 cm or more. However, if the slit 15 is too long, the slit 15 may open too wide when the sleeper puts his / her head in or out of the cover portion 10, and pollen, viruses, etc. may easily enter the cover portion 10. In addition, the range in which the above-mentioned slit blocking means must be provided becomes wider. For this reason, the length L2 of the slit 15 is preferably 100 cm or less, more preferably 70 cm or less, and even more preferably 50 cm or less. In this embodiment, the length L2 of the slit 15 is about 40 cm.

[0032] As already mentioned, the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment are separate bodies, and when storing or carrying, the whole sleeping head cover 1 can be made compact by folding the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 separately. When using the sleeping head cover 1, the folded frame part 20 is unfolded again, and the folded cover part 10 is unfolded and placed over the frame part 20. However, since the cover part 10 before being placed over the frame part 20 has an indefinite shape, it is often difficult to understand the positional relationship between the cover part 10 and the frame part 20.

[0033] In this regard, in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a loop-shaped positioning mark 16 is provided on the top of the dome-shaped cover part 10. By aligning this positioning mark 16 with the top 20a of the frame part 20, the top of the cover part 10 can be easily positioned relative to the top 20a of the frame part 20. In addition, by holding the positioning mark 16 in one's hand and lifting the cover part 10 to a certain height, one can immediately find where the front drape part 11a is located. Therefore, the positioning of the cover part 10 in the front-rear and left-right directions can also be easily performed.

[0034] The positioning mark 16 is not particularly limited in its specific configuration as long as it can easily position the cover part 10 relative to the frame part 20. For example, the positioning mark 16 may be a part of the cover part 10 with a different color or pattern from the other parts. The positioning mark 16 is not limited to the top of the cover part 10, and may be a surface part or an end part of the cover part 10. The positioning mark 16 may be provided on the frame part 20 instead of the cover part 10, or may be provided on both the cover part 10 and the frame part 20.

[0035] In the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, a pocket for storing small items (not shown) is provided on the inside of the cover part 10. By putting minerals with healing effects (for example, power stones, etc.) or pieces of wood with a pleasant fragrance, etc., in this pocket for storing small items, you can relax and have a good quality sleep. The position of the pocket for storing small items is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the pocket for storing small items is provided in each of the four corners on the inside of the cover part 10 (i.e., the lower end of the boundary between the front part 11 and the left side part 13, the lower end of the boundary between the front part 11 and the right side part 14, the lower end of the boundary between the back part 12 and the left side part 13, and the lower end of the boundary between the back part 12 and the right side part 14). As a result, the minerals, etc., placed in the pocket for storing small items also function as a weight, and the hem of the cover part 10 is less likely to turn up. The pocket for storing small items can also be provided on the inside or outside of the frame part 20.

[0036] 3. Frame section 3.1 Frame structure 2 is a view showing the frame section 20 shown in FIG. 1 in an extracted state, with the wire holding member 22 for holding the frame wire 21 shown in a transparent state. The frame section 20 is a structure for holding the cover section 10 in an expanded state. The frame section 20 in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment includes one frame wire 21 and a wire holding member 22, as shown in FIG.

[0037] The frame wire 21 is a member forming the skeleton of the frame portion 20, and is formed of an elastically deformable wire. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame wire 21 forms a dome-shaped skeleton as a whole. This skeleton is formed by twisting one frame wire 21 into a figure-8 shape in a plan view, and then bending it so that it forms an arch shape in a front view. As a result, the frame wire 21 forms two opposing annular portions 20b. As will be described later, each annular portion 20b is triangular.

[0038] The wire holding member 22 is a member for holding the frame wire 21 so that it has the three-dimensional shape described above, and has a first surface portion 22a, a second surface portion 22b, a third surface portion 22c, a fourth surface portion 22d, and a fifth surface portion (bottom surface portion) 22e.

[0039] The second surface portion 22b and the fourth surface portion 22d are portions for retaining the shape of the two annular portions 20b formed by the frame wire material 21. That is, while each annular portion 20b would tend to become annular due to the elasticity of the frame wire material 21, the second surface portion 22b and the fourth surface portion 22d retain the frame wire material 21, so that each annular portion 20b forms a substantially triangular shape.

[0040] The first surface portion 22a and the third surface portion 22c are portions for bending the frame wire material 21 into an arch shape in a front view. That is, the frame wire material 21 twisted into a figure-8 shape in a plan view tries to open so as to be substantially linear in a front view (so that the annular portions 20b move apart), but by connecting the second surface portion 22b and the fourth surface portion 22d that hold the annular portions 20b with the first surface portion 22a and the third surface portion 22c, the distance between the annular portions 20b is reduced, and the frame wire material 21 as a whole becomes arch-shaped.

[0041] The bottom surface portion 22e is a portion that forms the bottom surface of the frame portion 20. From the viewpoint of maintaining the shape of the frame wire 21, the bottom surface portion 22e is not required to be provided. However, since the bottom surface portion 22e is a portion that is placed under the sleeper's head (actually, under the pillow or mattress), by providing the bottom surface portion 22e, the weight of the sleeper's head can press down on the bottom surface portion 22e, making it difficult for the frame portion 20 to move. This makes it possible to increase the stability of the frame portion 20 when in use.

[0042] At the lower end of each of the two annular portions 20b in the frame portion 20, a grounding portion 20c is provided in which the frame wire 21 extends in a substantially straight line (the frame wire 21 is held in a substantially straight line by the wire holding member 22) as shown in FIG. 2. For this reason, each annular portion 20b of the frame portion 20 is triangular rather than a simple circle or ellipse. This makes it easier to stabilize the frame portion 20 when the frame portion 20 is set upright on a mounting surface. The frame wire 21 in the grounding portion 20c may be divided into two or more portions and be substantially straight.

[0043] The orientation of the cover 10 to the frame 20 is not limited. For example, the two annular portions 20b of the frame 20 may hold the front 11 and back 12 of the cover 10. However, in this case, the grounding portion 20c of the frame wire 21 is disposed at the lower end of the front 11 where the sleeper inserts his / her head, so that the frame wire 21 is laid under the body of the sleeper, which may cause the sleeper to feel uncomfortable. In this respect, in the sleeping head cover 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the two annular portions 20b of the frame 20 hold the left and right sides 13 and 14 of the cover 10. This makes it possible to prevent the frame wire 21 from being placed under the body of the sleeper. The first surface 22a of the wire holder 22, which overlaps with the front 11 of the cover 10, is provided with an opening (head insertion opening 22a1) for inserting the head of the sleeper.

[0044] The specific material of the frame wire 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is an elastic wire that is soft enough to be elastically deformed by human force. The frame wire 21 can be made of, for example, resin or metal. The cross-sectional shape of the frame wire 21 is not particularly limited, and can be polygonal or elliptical. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the frame wire 21 is rectangular.

[0045] The dimensions of the frame part 20 are not particularly limited as long as it can accommodate the entire head of the sleeper. However, if the dimensions of the frame part 20 are too small, the internal space of the sleeping head cover 1 becomes narrow, and the sleeper may feel oppressed or short of breath. For this reason, the front-rear width and the left-right width of the frame part 20 are preferably 50 cm or more, more preferably 60 cm or more, and even more preferably 70 cm or more. On the other hand, if the dimensions of the frame part 20 are too large, not only will it be bulky and in the way when used, but it may also be difficult to fold the frame part 20 compactly. For this reason, the front-rear width and the left-right width of the frame part 20 are preferably 2 m or less, more preferably 1.7 m or less, and even more preferably 1.5 m or less.

[0046] The wire holding member 22 is not limited to a specific configuration as long as it can hold the frame wire 21 in a desired shape. It is preferable to form the wire holding member 22 from a non-stretchable flexible material, since this makes it easier to fold the frame section 20 compactly. The wire holding member 22 may be formed from a string or the like, but in this embodiment, it is formed from a surface material. This makes it possible to further stabilize the structure of the frame section 20. In this embodiment, the first surface section 22a, the second surface section 22b, the fourth surface section 22d, and the fifth surface section (bottom surface section) 22e are formed from a non-stretchable fabric, and the third surface section 22c is formed from a non-stretchable mesh fabric.

[0047] There is no particular limitation on the method of holding the frame wire 21 in the wire holding member 22. For example, the frame wire 21 may be held in the wire holding member 22 by being adhered to the wire holding member 22. In this embodiment, the frame wire 21 is held in the wire holding member 22 by passing the frame wire 21 through the inside of a sheath-shaped wire insertion portion 22b1 formed in the second surface portion 22b and the inside of a sheath-shaped wire insertion portion 22d1 formed in the fourth surface portion 22d.

[0048] 3.2 How to fold the frame 3 to 6 are diagrams illustrating the procedure for folding the frame portion 20 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the state after step 1 is completed. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the state after step 2 is completed. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the state during step 3. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the state after step 3 is completed.

[0049] Frame section 20 can be folded compactly from the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2 to the folded state shown in FIG. 6 through the following steps 1 to 3. [Step 1] 2, the frame portion 20 is folded in its entirety so that the two annular portions 20b of the frame portion 20 overlap (the second surface portion 22b and the fourth surface portion 22d of the wire holding member 22 overlap). This brings the frame portion 20 into the state shown in FIG. 3 (a state in which the frame portion 20 is generally triangular in shape). [Step 2] From the state after step 1 (the state shown in FIG. 3), pull the apex 20a (the apex angle of the triangle) of the frame part 20 toward the front and align it with the center of the ground contact part 20c (the base of the triangle) as shown by the arrow B in FIG. 3. This creates two arc-shaped parts 20d on the left and right sides of the frame part 20 as shown in FIG. [Step 3] From the state where step 2 is completed (the state shown in FIG. 4), the two arc-shaped portions 20d are folded from the left and right toward the center and overlapped as shown by arrows C and D in FIG. 4, and the top portion 20a of the frame portion 20 is slipped under the overlapped arc-shaped portions 20d as shown by arrow E in FIG. 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the entire frame portion 20 can be folded into a flat disk shape in a folded state. It is preferable to store the folded frame portion 20 in a bag or the like prepared separately to prevent it from unfolding again.

[0050] 3.3 How to unfold the frame The frame section 20 in the folded state shown in Fig. 6 can be unfolded in one step to the unfolded state shown in Fig. 2. That is, when the upper overlapping arc-shaped portion 20d is lifted from the state shown in Fig. 6, the frame section 20 unfolds by itself to the state shown in Fig. 2 due to the restoring force of the elastic frame wire 21 (Fig. 2). In this way, the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention has the advantage that it does not take time or effort to set up when in use.

[0051] 4. Other embodiments In the above, the case where the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 are separate has been described. However, in the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention, the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 may be integrally configured. In this case, there is no need to attach the cover part 10 to the frame part 20 after unfolding it, and the cover part 10 can be put into an extended state simply by unfolding the frame part 20, further reducing the effort required for setup.

[0052] When the cover section 10 and the frame section 20 are integrally constructed, the wire holding member 22 can be provided, but it is preferable not to provide the wire holding member 22 and to hold the frame wire 21 in an 8 shape by the cover section 10. This makes the sleeping head cover 1 lighter and more compact. When the cover section 10 holds the frame wire 21, if the slit 15 is provided up to the upper end of the front section 11, it may be difficult to stably hold the frame wire 21. For this reason, it is preferable to arrange the upper end of the slit 15 below the upper end of the front section 11.

[0053] In the case where the cover part 10 and the frame part 20 are integrally constructed, it is preferable that the cover part 10 also has a bottom part (not shown) that is placed under the sleeper's head, in addition to the front part 11, the back part 12, the left part 13, and the right part 14 already explained. This makes it possible to make it difficult for the sleeping head cover 1 to move by pressing down on the bottom part with the weight of the sleeper's head, thereby increasing the stability of the sleeping head cover 1 when in use.

[0054] 5. Use of the present invention The sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention is not particularly limited in its specific use, so long as it is used for the purpose of preparing a sleeping environment by covering the head of a sleeper. As already mentioned, the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention can be suitably used for the purpose of, for example, keeping out pollen and preventing infection. The sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention can also be conveniently used in evacuation shelters during disasters. That is, in evacuation shelters during disasters, many people are often forced to sleep in a small space, and there is concern about the spread of infectious diseases. By using the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention, infection during sleep can be prevented. In addition, in evacuation shelters, etc., privacy is not sufficiently taken into consideration due to the emergency situation, and people are often forced to sleep in places where others can see them, but by using the sleeping head cover 1 of the present invention, people can sleep without others seeing their sleeping faces.
