Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the construction of pillows and cushions. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, pillows and cushions for use on the body come in a variety of shapes and functions that correspond to different parts of the body, and are widely used in various situations in daily life. Meanwhile, the human body has evolved into a skeletal structure that supports a large, heavy head, making the upright posture the most stable posture. However, the most common resting posture is sitting in a chair and leaning against a sofa. On the other hand, the sitting posture makes the S-shaped structure of the neck, which supports the heavy head, unstable, and places a great strain on various parts of the body, leading to various illnesses in various parts of the body, such as the neck and waist. On the other hand, the recumbent position has been used since ancient times as a posture for resting the body without any support. However, the recumbent position during sleep supports and maintains the body for a long period of time while the body is readjusted. Cushions and bedding are used to provide comfort.

[0003] Next, the neck supports the large, heavy head, which rests on a bone-muscle system that has evolved into a structure specialized for bipedal walking, and when standing, the body is constantly swaying, unconsciously maintaining balance. In other words, the body structure has not acquired the bone and muscle structure that corresponds to the posture of sitting in a chair. In practical life situations, various types of neck pillows and nap cushions are used for resting or taking a nap in a sitting position. On the other hand, when moving and sitting, the neck pillow prevents the pendulum movement of the neck that supports the heavy head, and the structure that fixes the neck places various strains on various parts of the body.

[0004] Next, the upper limbs have evolved into a structure that is suitable for using the fingers and arms, and are suspended from both shoulders. Although this is an intrusive part when not in use when lying down, it is necessary when turning over in sleep, and the arms can be wrapped around the body pillow to stabilize it. Furthermore, when people spend long periods of time standing, they try to recover by using various known foot pillows to relieve fatigue in the lower limbs. However, while various structures are available to relieve fatigue in the lower limbs and accommodate the height and turning over required by each individual, there are no foot pillows that are specialized for a particular purpose and can be used for a general purpose.

[0005] Next, cushions and stuffed toys are widely used and are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with the aim of keeping the body in a comfortable position. However, the shape of these cushions and stuffed toys as a single mass limits their uses.

[0006] In the first place, when lying down, the head is large, and the neck needs to be slightly elevated due to the difference in height between the shoulders, waist, and other parts of the body, and the need to maintain the complex S-order structure.As a countermeasure, pillows that raise the head slightly have been used since ancient times. Nowadays, various types of bedding are used and the indoor environment has improved, resulting in a significant improvement in the sleeping environment. However, sleep disorders are now considered a problem, and efforts to address sleep are being made from various angles. The importance of pillows has been pointed out, but as the abundance of different types of pillows shows, the problem has not yet been solved, and various improvements are being made every day.

[0007] Patent Document 1 proposes a pillow and bedding that relaxes the suboccipital muscles and also relaxes the erector spinae muscles. This proposal involves connecting three or more long rod-shaped pillow materials in the width direction, forming a slit in the center of the pillow materials, and connecting and bundling a large number of pillow materials with elastic connecting members to form a pillow. In other words, when you place your head on the pillow, the pillow material collapses and deforms, and the multiple slits in the center of the pillow material distribute the weight of the head, causing the pillow to deform and extend toward the top of the head, stretching the cervical vertebrae and allowing the suboccipital muscles to relax appropriately. However, this proposal involves connecting and bundling three or more long rod-shaped pillow materials together to form a pillow, which is a complex structure that combines many different components, and there are concerns about whether it will be well received by consumers.

[0008] Patent document 2 proposes a solution to the problem of U-shaped pillows designed for the neck during naps, which cause the left and right sides of the neck to become deformed when trying to prevent this problem. This proposal aims to provide through holes in a pair of side surfaces and to suppress deformation of the side surfaces when a member is provided to improve the support force of the through hole area. However, this proposal does not change the structure of the U-shaped pillow that is designed to support the neck during naps, but rather makes the structure more complex and increases the number of components, which is feared to increase manufacturing costs and make it more difficult to handle due to hygiene issues. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7357855 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-63170 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] To date, pillows used for the human body are designed to accommodate different parts of the body, such as the head, neck, lower back, and feet, and numerous products are available based on the shape and performance required for each. However, various pillows are so subdivided and specialized by function that while there are pillows currently available that are designed to change shape to accommodate changing sleeping positions, the contents of these pillows only move partially, and the flat structure itself does not change shape, so no improvements have been made from a fundamental perspective. Furthermore, users are left lost and confused in a world of limited, ad hoc, image-driven choices. Furthermore, various pillows have different structures that are specialized for different parts of the human body, and each has its own unique product group to accommodate them, which poses problems such as cost and cleanliness. In other words, pillows do not have a single structure that is based on a basic idea. Furthermore, cushions and stuffed toys come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but their single, solid form simplifies their use and they do not have a functional structure.

[0011] The present invention aims to provide a basic structure for a pillow or cushion that can flexibly accommodate the unique posture of each user. In other words, the goal is to create pillows and cushions that are clean and easy to use, that allow replacement of the filling that wears out, deteriorates, and changes shape with daily use, that are inexpensive, that are simple as tools, and that have a unified structure that combines basic functions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] The present invention provides a pillow (1) comprising a storage section (3) for storing a filling material (2), The storage section (3) is provided with a means for inserting and removing the inner material (2), The storage section (3) is formed as a long, substantially cylindrical bag body, The pillow (1) is formed of the storage section (3), which is a first storage section (3A), a second storage section (3B), and a third storage section (3C), The first storage section (3A), the second storage section (3B), and the third storage section (3C) are provided with at least two connecting sections (4) where they are connected to each other, the coupling portion (4) is formed at any portion where the first storage portion (3A), the second storage portion (3B), and the third storage portion (3C) come into contact with each other, The pillow (1) has a three-dimensional structure formed by bundling and joining together the first storage section (3A), the second storage section (3B), and the third storage section (3C) in an overlapping manner, In the pillow (1), a plurality of gaps (6) are formed in the portions where the first storage section (3A), the second storage section (3B), and the third storage section (3C) are not joined together, The pillow (1) is characterized in that a plurality of spaces are formed by expanding the gap (5). [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The effect of the present invention is that the present invention is an improvement in structure, and the filling material of the pillow used can be selected from known materials, so that a range of products can be provided that meets the price demands of users. Furthermore, the structure allows selection of thickness and length, number and position of connecting parts, etc., to correspond to each part of the human body, providing a basic pillow structure that corresponds to each part of the human body, such as the head, neck, back, waist, feet, and hands. In other words, the present invention gives the pillow a three-dimensional structure by bundling and partially connecting three storage sections, and by selecting the size and filling material desired by the user, it provides a variety of pillow structures desired by the user. Moreover, the simple and rational structure allows users to obtain the desired feeling of use at low cost.

[0014] The effect of the present invention is that the pillow has a shape that can be transformed by expanding the multiple gaps created by the three-dimensional structure of the three storage sections, creating space. In other words, the user obtains a novel pillow structure that allows the user to insert the neck, arms, legs, etc. into the multiple spaces.

[0015] The effect of the present invention is that the pillow of the present invention is not limited to use as bedding but provides a cushion structure suitable for all life situations. Furthermore, it is provided as a simple cushion that can be manipulated and transformed by the user. Furthermore, the three-dimensional structure of the storage area for the three bodies allows for a wide range of uses, such as using the space created by the unconnected parts as a cushion to be used in the car by passing a seat belt through, as a cushion to sandwich a child's body, or as an auxiliary cushion for a chair.

Furthermore, the storage section 3 shown in FIG. 5 is an example in which an elastic material is used and the storage section 3 is formed so as to gradually become thicker from both end portions toward the center portion, but this is not specific to or limited to this embodiment.

[0044] Next, the connecting portions 4 shown in Figure 5 show an example in which connecting portions 4 are formed at four locations in the first storage section 3A, four locations in the second storage section 3B, and four locations in the third storage section 3C, but this is not intended to be specific or limiting. Furthermore, the connecting portion 4 shown in FIG. 5 is formed at the end portions of the three storage portions 3, and shows a specification that makes it easier for the gap portions 5 of the three storage portions 3 to expand, but this is not specific or limited to this. Furthermore, the connecting portion 4 shown in Figure 5 shows an example in which air is used as the inner material 2 and the storage portion 3 is formed from an elastic material, but this is not specific to or limited to this embodiment, and it is natural that known materials and connecting means can be used.

[0045] First of all, existing neck pillows are U-shaped and encircle the user's neck, which fixates the neck and robs the body of its flexibility. The structure is so rigid that it feels too cramped and robs the body of its flexibility. Next, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 shows an example characterized in that a first storage section 3A, a second storage section 3B, and a third storage section 3C are formed by being connected at a connecting section 4 to form a three-dimensional structure. In other words, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 is characterized by its structure, which when in use, flexibly accommodates the left and right tilt of the neck by sandwiching the user's neck from the front and back, and does not press on the sides of the user's neck. Furthermore, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 is used in a manner that it holds the user's neck from the front and back, and while existing U-shaped neck pillows tend to cause the user's head 9 to fall forward, this neck pillow is characterized by a structure in which the storage section 3 supports the chin area and prevents the head 9 from falling forward. Furthermore, the storage section 3 shown in FIG. 5 allows the user to increase or decrease the volume of each storage section 3, thereby realizing a comfortable feeling of use. Furthermore, the storage sections 3 shown in FIG. 5 are not specified or limited here in terms of the length, volume, and other values ​​of the individual storage sections 3.

[0046] Next, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 shows an example in which the gap portion 5 is formed by the unconnected portion of the first storage section 3A, the unconnected portion of the second storage section 3B, and the unconnected portion of the third storage section 3C. 5 shows an example of a neck pillow 8 that can be used as a neck pillow 8 by allowing the user to freely operate the gap 5 and insert the head 9 of the user into the gap 5 to surround the neck 10. Furthermore, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 is composed of three parts: a first storage section 3A, a second storage section 3B, and a third storage section 3C, and the part that is not joined at the joining section 4 forms a gap section 5, which can expand freely, so it is configured to flexibly hold the neck 10 and support the head 9. In addition, the gaps 5 shown in Figure 5 are an example in which the gaps 5 of the three storage sections 3 expand when the neck pillow 8 is used, thereby providing a comfortable fit to the user's neck, shoulders, arms, etc. Furthermore, the neck pillow 8 shown in FIG. 5 shows an example in which the first storage section 3A is located at the rear part of the neck 10 of the user, the second storage section 3B is located at the front part and chin part of the neck 10 of the user, and the third storage section 3C is located at the back part of the head 9 of the user, but this is not specific or limited to this, and is characterized in that it can be used in any part that the user desires, such as the waist, back, or legs.

[0047] Next, the neck pillow 8 shown in Figure 5 shows an example characterized in that the volume of the first storage section 3A, the volume combining section 4 of the second storage section 3B, and the volume of the third storage section 3C are formed to be approximately the same. Furthermore, the storage section 3 shown in FIG. 5 is an example in which an elastic material is used and the storage section 3 is formed so as to gradually become thicker from both end portions toward the center portion, but this is not specific to or limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, the storage sections 3 shown in FIG. 5 are configured to have approximately the same volume, but this example shows an example in which an access section 6 is employed that allows the user to increase or decrease the volume of air in each storage section 3, but this is not intended to be specific or limiting.
