DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body pillow which can be used to hold a person in a proper position on the body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of body pillow, for example, there are various shapes as shown in FIGS. The body pillow 1 shown in FIG. 11 is formed in a simple columnar shape. The body pillow 2 shown in FIG. 12 has a shape like a normal pillow extended in the longitudinal direction. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, there is also a body pillow 3 formed to fit the shape of the body.

As described above, various types of body pillows 1 to 3 have been conventionally known, but all of them have only a cushion body or a cushion body covered with an outer bag. Therefore, the conventional body pillows 1 to 3 have no function of imparting a warm or cool feeling to the contacting body.

[0004] By the way, various types of exothermic agents for imparting a warm sensation to the body and cooling agents for imparting a cool sensation are commercially available. There are various ways of using these exothermic agents and cold preservatives, but the following are conceivable as the use at bedtime.

[0005] That is, in the case of a cold insulator, the head is cooled by placing it on a normal pillow. In the case of a heating agent, it has been used by putting it in a pajamas pocket or attaching it to the outside of the pajamas with an adhesive tape.

[0006]

However, the conventional body pillows 1 to 3 as described above have a large area in contact with the body as compared with a normal pillow that supports only the head. There was no function to give a warm or cool feeling. Therefore, at night when the temperature is high and it is hard to sleep,
In some cases, such as when it is cold, it is not easy to use.

[0007] In addition, the use of the cold preservative at bedtime described above can only be applied to the head as in the case of heat cooling at the time of heat generation. Further, there is also a risk that the pillow may be wet by water droplets adhering to the cooling agent or the head may be excessively cooled.

[0008] In addition, the use of the exothermic agent at bedtime described above is inconvenient in use because the position of the pocket of the pajamas does not always coincide with the location where the body is desired to be warmed. Furthermore, when attaching with an adhesive tape, attachment and detachment are troublesome, and there is a possibility that the pajamas and the like may be stained. Also,
Since the heat generation temperature cannot be adjusted, long-term use at bedtime may cause low-temperature burns.

[0009] When the above-mentioned cooling agent or exothermic agent is used together with the conventional body pillows 1 to 3, there are the following problems in addition to the above-mentioned problems at bedtime. That is, it is not possible to keep the cooling agent or the like at desired positions of the pillows 1-3 as they are. In addition, it is troublesome to use an adhesive tape for fixing, and the use position cannot be easily changed, which is inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is possible to easily attach / detach a temperature control body such as a cooling agent or a heating agent to a desired position of a pillow. It is an object of the present invention to provide an extremely easy-to-use body pillow that can be easily adjusted in the mounting position, and is free from inadvertent wetting of the body pillow and low-temperature burns.
