Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein, in a pillow filled with a fluid such as a liquid, on the pillow constituted of one bag-like container, as the fluid rapidly moves to the opposite side when the head is moved, the head is not fixed and stability is low, and as a result, feeling to sleep is uncomfortable and, when one turns over in sleep and the head comes to the end of the pillow, as the head almost falls down from the pillow, it is almost impossible to lie on one's side. SOLUTION: The pillow filled with the fluid characterized by a constitution in which a plurality of vertical and cylindrical containers filled with the fluid such as the liquid are arranged in parallel and in the transverse direction is provided.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pillow.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pillow filled with a fluid such as a liquid is filled with an ice pillow consisting of a bag-like container containing water and ice, which is often used in the case of illness, or a cooling agent and cooled in a refrigerator. There are types of pillows to use.

[0003]

In a conventional pillow, as shown in FIG. 1, a container 2 is filled with a fluid 3 such as a liquid, so that the shape of the pillow 1 conforms to the shape of the head 4. Since it changes and distributes the pressure applied to the head 4, there is no feeling of oppression and the contact area with the head 4 is large. However, since each bag filled with liquid or the like is constituted by one bag, when the head 4 is moved in any of the left and right directions as shown in FIG.
Since the fluid 3 such as a liquid rapidly moves to the opposite side where the head 4 is moved, the head is not fixed and the stability is poor and the sleeping comfort is poor. Also, when the player turns over sideways, the head 4 comes to the end of the pillow 1 and becomes a state as shown in FIG. 2, and the head 4 is likely to fall from the pillow 1 and is not stable. It was almost impossible to sleep.

[0004]

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a bag-like container 2 made of a soft plastic or the like is filled with a fluid 3 such as a liquid therein, hermetically sealed, and divided laterally by a seal portion 6. The vertically long cylindrical containers 5 are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction, and are formed as cylindrical containers 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d. The height H2 of the cylindrical containers 5a, 5d at both ends is higher than the height H1 of the central cylindrical containers 5b, 5c. The present invention is a pillow configured as described above.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. (A) A bag-like container 2 such as a soft plastic is filled with a fluid 3 such as a liquid, and a sealing portion is provided. In 6 divide horizontally and seal. (B) The vertically long cylindrical containers 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d are formed in parallel. (C) Fluids 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d such as liquids are filled and sealed inside the cylindrical containers 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d. (D) The height H2 of the cylindrical containers 5a, 5d at both ends is higher than the height H1 of the central cylindrical containers 5b, 5c. (E) The filler may be any fluid such as water or other liquid, but it is a somewhat viscous fluid, and a cooling agent or the like is suitable.

[0006]

Second Embodiment FIGS. 5 and 6 show the structure of a pillow 1 according to a second embodiment. (A) The sheet 8 made of a soft material such as cloth is folded in two, and the seams 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, and 9e are vertically inserted to form bags 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d. (B) A cylindrical container 11 made of a soft plastic or the like and filled with a fluid 3a, 3b, 3c, or 3d such as a liquid.
a, 11b, 11c, and 11d are inserted, and the mouths 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d of the bag of the sheet 8 are stitched together or closed. (C) The height H2 of the cylindrical containers 11a and 11d at both ends is higher than the height H1 of the central cylindrical containers 11b and 11c. (D) The filler may be any fluid, such as water or other liquid, as in the first embodiment, but it is a somewhat viscous fluid, and a cooling agent is suitable. (E) With this configuration, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0007]

(A) Using the pillow of the present invention, FIGS. 7 and 8
When the head 4 is placed on the central part of the pillow while lying on the back as in the above, since the head 4 is supported between the central cylindrical containers 5b and 5c, the sitting of the head 4 is improved and stabilized. Comfortable to sleep. (B) As shown in FIG. 9, the cylindrical container 5b or 5c is deformed along the shape of the head 4, and the pressure is evenly dispersed.
The feeling of oppression is small and the sleeping comfort is good. (C) In addition, since the contact area between the head 4 and the cylindrical containers 5b and 5c is large, it is easy to absorb the heat of the head 4 and exerts an effect of lowering the heat when heat is generated due to a disease or the like. (D) Since the height of the cylindrical containers 5a and 5d at both ends is larger than the central cylindrical containers 5b and 5c, even if the head 4 is located at the position of FIG. In order to be stable, you can sleep well without falling your head from the pillow even if you roll over sideways. (E) In addition, by using a cooling agent or the like as a fluid such as a liquid to be filled, heat is easily absorbed from the head, a cool feeling can be obtained, and the sleeping comfort is further improved. (F) It is particularly effective when fever occurs due to illness or when it is difficult to sleep at high temperatures in summer. (G) Since a fluid such as a liquid is used for the filler and the bag-like container is made of a soft material, it is easy to adapt to the cervical vertebrae curve from the head to the neck, and is not pressed. There is no residue, so you can sleep well.
