以下、本発明を具体化した第五実施形態を上記第一実施形態と異なる点を中心に図12および図13に基づいて説明する。なお、図12において、第一実施形態にて説明した各要素と同一の要素についてはそれぞれ同一の符号を示しており、それら要素についての重複する説明は割愛する。
(Fifth embodiment)
Hereinafter, a fifth embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13 focusing on differences from the first embodiment. In FIG. 12, the same elements as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions of these elements are omitted.
第一実施形態では、ベルト41により頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状を調整するようにした。本実施形態では、枕袋10に充填される素材の量を調整することにより、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状を調整するようにしている。
In the first embodiment, the shape of the head / neck /
図12(a)および図13(a)に示されるように、本実施形態では、線ファスナ81が頭部支持部材11および頸部支持部材14の側面に、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の短手方向に沿って延びるように設けられている。

図12(b)に示されるように、線ファスナ81が設けられる枕袋10の開口部には、枕袋10の内側に延出するように(図13(a)参照)、筒状をなす内布82が逢着されている。この内布82は、一端(基端側)が枕袋10の開口部に沿って逢着されるとともに、反対側の端部(先端側)は固定されない自由端部となっている。なお、図12(b)には、内布82を枕袋10の外部に引き出した状態の模式図を示す。
As shown in FIG. 12 (b), the opening of the
内布82は、通常時、折りたたまれて枕袋10の内部に充填されている。この内布82は、例えば、次のように折りたたまれる。すなわち、図13(b)に示されるように、まず、外部に引き出された内布82の先端側の端部を閉じ、内布82自身の延出方向(図13(b)中の矢印Aの方向)と交差する方向(図13(b)中の矢印Bの方向)の両端部82aを、前記交差する方向の中央側へ折る。ここでは、内袋82の先端側の端部が、内布82の基端側から先端側に延びる中心線83に沿うように内袋82を折る。

第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13には、一対の面状ファスナのフック部44(本発明の「頭部固定部」に相当)が取り付けられている。これら面状ファスナのフック部44のうち、一方は第一支持部材12の端部12b近傍に、他方は第二支持部材13の端部13b近傍に取り付けられている。また、これら一対の面状ファスナのフック部44のうち、第一支持部材12に逢着されるフック部44は、第二溝部16近傍に逢着されている。すなわちこの第一支持部材12に逢着される面状ファスナのフック部44と第一支持部材12の側端部12cとの間の距離は、フック部44と第二溝部16との間の距離よりも長くなる。同様に、第二支持部材13に逢着されるフック部44も、第二溝部16近傍に逢着される。すなわちこの第二支持部材13に逢着される面状ファスナのフック部44と第二支持部材13の側端部13cとの間の距離は、フック部44と第二溝部16との間の距離よりも長くなる。
A pair of planar fastener hook portions 44 (corresponding to the “head fixing portion” of the present invention) are attached to the
また、同図19(b)に示されるように、ベルト76には、一対の面状ファスナのループ部45(本発明の「着脱部」に相当)が取り付けられている。このループ部45は、それぞれベルト76の両端部から、中央付近まで延びる態様にて取り付けられている。
同図19(c)に示されるように、これら面状ファスナのフック部44とループ部45の係合を通じて、ベルト76は、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1と着脱可能となっている。
Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the
As shown in FIG. 19C, the
図20(a)および(b)に、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1にベルト76を取り付けた状態を示す。
例えば、使用者の頭部のうち、頭頂寄りの部位を高くしようとする場合は、図20(a)に示されるように、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13をそれぞれ第二溝部16に向けて(同図20(a)中の矢印Aの方向に)引っ張る。そして、ベルト76に取り付けられた面状ファスナのループ部45を、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13に取り付けられた面状ファスナのフック部44にそれぞれ取り付ける。
これにより、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13をそれぞれ第二溝部16に向けて寄せた状態で維持することができる。したがって、同図20(a)中の矢印Bに示されるように、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13のうち、使用者の頭頂よりの部分を高くし、その状態を維持することができるようになる。すなわち、後頭部の頭頂部が上がった状態とした後、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13のフック部44にベルト76のループ部45を付けることにより、所望の好適位置で固定することができる。このように、後頭部の頭頂部について、微妙な高さが枕表面で調整することができる。
20A and 20B show a state where the
For example, when trying to raise the part near the top of the user's head, as shown in FIG. 20A, the
Thereby, the
これに対して、使用者の頭部のうち、頭頂寄りの部位を低くしようとする場合は、図20(b)に示されるように、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13をそれぞれ側端部12c,13cに向けて(同図20(b)中の矢印Cの方向に)引っ張る。そして、ベルト76に取り付けられた面状ファスナのループ部45を、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13に取り付けられた面状ファスナのフック部44にそれぞれ取り付ける。同図20(b)中の矢印Dに示されるように、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13には、使用者の頭部および頸部の重みがかかるため、第一支持部材12と第二支持部材13とが、それぞれ第二溝部16から離間した状態で維持することができる。
したがって、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13のうち、使用者の頭頂よりの部分の寸法を小さくし、その状態を維持することができるようになる。すなわち、後頭部の頭頂部を下げた状態とした後、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13のフック部44にベルト76のループ部45を付けることにより、所望の好適位置で固定することができる。このように、後頭部の頭頂部について、微妙な高さが枕表面で調整できる。
On the other hand, when trying to lower the portion near the top of the user's head, the
Therefore, the dimension of the part from a user's top among the
本変形例によれば、使用者が仰臥位で頭・頸・医療サポート枕1に頭部および頸部を乗せている状態で、使用者自身および介護者等の他人が、当該頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状等を調整することができる。もちろん、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の枕底面において、ベルト76を頭頂部寄り付近に複数装着することは、様々な患者へきめ細やかな対応を行う医療の分野では必要である。
According to this modification, the user himself / herself and other caregivers are able to use the head / neck / carp when the user is in the supine position and the head / neck /
同様に、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1は、図21(a)に示されるように腹臥位にて使用することができる。本変形例では、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13に、第二溝部16に平行に延びる態様にて面状ファスナのフック部44を取り付けることが好ましい。本変形例によれば、ベルト76の取り付け位置を移動固定できるようにする。これにより、例えば、使用者が腹臥位をとらなければならない場合、使用者は、第一溝部15もしくは第二溝部16の隙間に顔を埋めることで楽に呼吸をすることができる。
また、同図21(b)に示されるように、それでも息がし辛い場合。すなわち顔面を横に向くことができない、床面・長手方向を向いたままの固定ができない等は、ベルト76と枕袋10との間の隙間から、端部12bより第二溝部16に沿って酸素吸入チューブ85を導入することができる。本変形例によれば、酸素吸入マスク86が取り付けられた顔面・頚椎前面が一体の状態でも、後述するコルセット固定をしても高さ・角度・長さ・幅が自由自在に調整できる。

Further, as shown in FIG. 21B, it is still difficult to breathe. That is, the face cannot be turned sideways, the floor surface and the longitudinal direction cannot be fixed, etc., from the gap between the
上記変形例においては、一対のフック部44を第一支持部材12と第二支持部材13にそれぞれ取り付けるようにしたが、本発明はこれに限られるものではなく、一対のフック部44を第一支持部材12のみ、もしくは第二支持部材13のみに取り付けるようにしてもよい。また、第一実施形態~第七実施形態にて説明した頭・頸・医療サポート枕1のいずれかにフック部44を取り付けてもよい。この場合は、ベルトを用いて第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13の形状を変更することができるため、上記実施形態(1)~(10)で説明した作用効果に準じた作用効果を奏することができるようになる。
In the above modification, the pair of
また図22に示されるように、第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13に、第二溝部16に平行に延びる態様にて面状ファスナのフック部44を取り付けてもよい。本変形例によれば、同図22(a)に矢印にて示されるように、使用者の頭部の重みによって第一支持部材12と第二支持部材13とが離間する場合には、同図22(b)に示されるようにベルト76を用いて第一支持部材12および第二支持部材13を第二溝部16よりに寄せることができる。これにより、使用者の後頭部の頭頂部を高く維持することができる。
使用者の頭部および頸部が小さい場合に、第二溝部16、第一溝部15を浅くしたい場合は、同図22(c)に矢印にて示されるようにベルト76を第一溝部15に近接する位置まで移動させた後、フック部44とループ部45とを係合させる。これにより、頭部および頸部が小さい使用者であっても、第二溝部16、第一溝部15の深さを所望の深さに固定することができる。
一方、頸部および頭部が大きい使用者が第二溝部16、第一溝部15を広くしたい場合は、同図22(d)に示されるようにベルト76を端部12b,13b寄りに移動させ、フック部44同士の距離を所望の距離に固定することができる。このように、頭部および頸部の大きさや負荷に応じて、各使用者に馴染むように微細な調整をすることができるようになる。
又、使用者自身または使用者に対して第三者(介護者等)が、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状の微細な調整を行うことができる。

上記実施形態では、面状ファスナを用いてベルト41を固定部42に着脱可能としたが、本発明はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、図23に示されるようにベルト41の長さを調整するアジャスタ71を取り付けるようにしてもよい。アジャスタ71は、ポリカーボネート等の樹脂や金属等のような剛性の高い材料からなる。
In the above embodiment, the
図23に示されるように、アジャスタ71は、頸部支持部材14の端部14bに固定されている。ベルト41は、アジャスタ71の内部および鞘51に通されており、一方の端部は、アジャスタ71内部の長孔に通されて、ベルト41の他の部分に逢着されている。ベルト41の他端は、固定されない自由端部となっている。こうして、ベルト41は、一方の端部をアジャスタ71に連結した状態で、アジャスタ71および鞘51に対してスライド移動可能に組みつけられている。ベルト41は、アジャスタ71と鞘51との間においてループ状に、すなわちベルト41の一部を他の部分と重複させるように取り付けられている。
23, the
同図23に示されるように、アジャスタ71は、基盤73、押さえ部72および図示しないトーションバネを備えている。トーションバネは、押さえ部72を基盤73に押し付けるように、押さえ部72を付勢している。すなわち、ベルト41は、基盤73と押さえ部72とにより挟持されている。
As shown in FIG. 23, the
本変形例によれば、使用者は、押さえ部72を基盤73から離して、すなわちベルト41を基盤73および押さえ部72によって挟持された状態から解放して、ベルト41をアジャスタ71および鞘51に対してスライド移動することにより、ベルト41の長さを調整することができる。そして、使用者は、ベルト41の長さを所望の長さとした後、押さえ部72と基盤73との間にベルト41を再び挟持させることで、ベルト41の長さを所望の長さに維持することができるようになる。
According to this modification, the user separates the
また、図24に示されるように、アジャスタ71に代えて、長方形状のベルト固定具74を取り付けてもよい。ベルト固定具74には短手方向に短く、長手方向にベルト41の巾より少し長く延びる複数の孔が設けられており、ベルト41は、これらの孔を貫通するように取り付けられている。
本変形例によれば、使用者は、ベルト41の長さを所望の長さとした後、このベルト固定具74に設けられた孔にベルト41を貫通させる。ベルト41とベルト固定具74との間の摩擦により、使用者は、ベルト41の長さを所望の長さに維持することができるようになる。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 24, a rectangular
According to this modification, the user makes the length of the belt 41 a desired length, and then allows the
上記実施形態では、把持部43が端部12b,13b,14b、および側端部12c,13c,14cの外側まで延出するようにしたが、本発明はこれに限られるものではない。例えば、把持部43が頭・頸・医療サポート枕1と床面またはベッド面との間に挟まれるようにしてもよい。本実施の形態においても、上記作用効果に準じた作用効果を奏することができるようになる。
In the above embodiment, the
上記第1実施形態では、鞘51を端部14aに取り付けるようにしたが、鞘51に代えて、図25に示されるように、面取りされた矩形形状のリング64(本発明の「保持部材」に相当)を端部14aに取り付けるようにしてもよい。リング64は、一辺が固定布46を介して頸部支持部材14の端部14aに取り付けられている。そして、リング64の内部を貫通するように、ベルト41が取り付けられている。
In the first embodiment, the
把持部43が端部14bに向けて引っ張られると、ベルト41がリング64に対してスライド移動し、固定部42がリング64に近接するため、端部14aと端部14bとが近接するようになる。したがって、本変形例においても、上記(1)に準じた作用効果を奏することができるようになる。
When the
図26に示されるように、頸部支持部材14の端部14b近傍に円形のガイドリング84を取り付けてもよい。本変形例では、ベルト41は、頸部支持部材14の端部14bに一端が逢着され、鞘51に向けて延出している。そして、鞘51で折り返されて頸部支持部材14の端部14bに向けて延出している。このベルト41は、ガイドリング84を貫通している。本変形例によれば、ベルト41がガイドリング84を貫通しているため、使用者自身または使用者に対して第三者(介護者等)は、側端部14cの外側方向に向けてベルト41を所望の位置まで引き、緩めなおした後、ループ部45をフック部44に付けて調整することができるようになる。
As shown in FIG. 26, a
図27(a)~(d)に示されるように、ベルト41を引っ張り出すことによって、使用者の頭部の角度を変更するようにしてもよい。すなわち、図27(a)に示されるように、頸部支持部材14の高さ方向における寸法(h1)が大きく使用者の顎が上がっている場合は、図27(b)に示されるように、頸部支持部材14に取り付けられているベルト41を緩め、頸部支持部材14の高さ方向における寸法を小さくして(h2)使用者の顎を下げるとよい。また、図27(c)に示されるように、頭部支持部材11の高さ方向における寸法(h1)が小さく使用者の顎が上がっている場合は、図27(d)に示されるように、頭部支持部材11に取り付けられているベルト41を引っ張り出し、頭部支持部材11の高さ方向における寸法を大きくして(h2)、使用者の顎を下げるとよい。
As shown in FIGS. 27A to 27D, the angle of the user's head may be changed by pulling out the
また、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1に仰臥し、頸部にコルセットを装着する状態は、頸部損傷の症例に応じて、頭部に対する頸部の角度・回旋・高さ等、コルセット装着態様は様々である。例として、当該コルセットによって使用者の頸部が持ち上げられて不具合を生じる位置の場合を挙げる。図28(a)に示されるように、頸部支持部材14に取り付けられたベルト41を緩めて頸部支持部材14の高さ方向(図28中のZ軸方向)における寸法を小さくし、使用者の頸部の高さを下げることができる。
In addition, the state where the head, neck and
また、本発明にかかる頭・頸・医療サポート枕1によれば、1つの頭・頸・医療サポート枕1で、交通事故や災害等で頸椎損傷・頸椎手術した後等に、同図28(b)に示されるように、固定コルセットを装着した状態のまま、その長さ、高さおよび角度を調整し、患者に対して好位置にて固定することができる。例えば医療の中で頸椎を手術しても、イ・手術のテクニック不足、ロ・手術後の管理不足により、頸椎を再手術しなければならない脊椎(頸椎)手術後症候群を発症することがある。しかし本発明によれば、ロ・術後管理不足においては、再手術を回避する手段として、同図28(b)に示されるように頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の上で固定コルセットを装着した状態で複数回のレントゲン・MRI検査などきめ細かい検査を行うことができる。そのため、同図28(a)に記載されるような微妙な長さ、高さおよび角度の調整を調整することができ、ひいては全ての患者に好位置固定することができるようになる。このため、本発明にかかる頭・頸・医療サポート枕1は、再手術を回避する1つの手段として充分果たし得る。また、同図28(c)に示されるように装着したコルセットを外した後、同じ1つの頭・頸・医療サポート枕1を、好位置での頭・頸・医療サポート枕1へと容易に変化させることもできる。
Further, according to the head / neck /
上記実施形態では、図29(a)に示されるように、第一支持部材12、第二支持部材13と頸部支持部材14の体積は差があるようにしたが、本発明の頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状はこれに限られるものではない。図29(b)に示される頭・頸・医療サポート枕9のように、頸部支持部材94の頭・頸・医療サポート枕9全体に占める体積を大きくして、頭部支持部材91と頸部支持部材94の体積が等しくなるようにしてもよい。
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), the
上記実施形態では、頭部および頸部を支持する例について説明したが、本発明にかかる頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の使用方法はこれに限られるものではなく、図30に示されるように、腰部および臀部等を支持するようにしてもよい。これにより医療現場等で寝たきり状態にある患者等の腰部や骨盤などの位置調整も可能になる。また、声を出すことができない患者に対して、褥創(とこずれ)の科学的検査(例えば、赤外線による皮膚温度の測定)を行う際、好位置決定をして追跡調査を行うことができるようになる。
Although the example which supports a head and a neck was demonstrated in the said embodiment, the usage method of the head, neck, and
上記実施形態では、使用者が鉛直方向上方を向いて仰臥した場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限られるものではない。図31に示されるように、使用者を斜め向きに仰臥させ、第二支持部材13の高さ方向の寸法を大きくするとともに、第一支持部材12の高さ方向の寸法を小さくすることで、使用者の頭部の向きを維持するようにしてもよい。本変形例によれば、医療における患者の頭部および頸部の回転(頭部単独、頸部単独または頭部と頸部の双方の微妙な回転であってもよい)による角度固定において、出来得る範囲での、例えば15度でも21度、39度、43度・・・などいろいろな角度に固定することができるようになる。
In the above embodiment, the case where the user lies on the top in the vertical direction has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 31, the user is slanted in an oblique direction, and while the size in the height direction of the
図32(a)および(b)に示されるように、第一支持部材12の上面、第二支持部材13の上面および頸部支持部材14の上面にガイド83a~83cを取り付けてもよい。これらガイド83a~83cは、中心部分が婉曲した婉曲形状に形成されており、第一溝部15に直交するようにそれぞれ両端部が枕袋10に固定されている。
32 (a) and 32 (b), guides 83a to 83c may be attached to the upper surface of the
ベルト41は、ガイド83a~83cのうち、いずれかを介して外部に延出する。また、ベルト41には面状ファスナのフック部44およびループ部45が取り付けられている。
ここで、図32(c)に、ベルト41がガイド83cを介して外部に延出する場合の模式図を示す。ベルト41は、一端が底面に逢着されており、ガイド83cを介して外部に延出している。この延出している部分は把持部43となっている。
The
Here, FIG. 32C shows a schematic view when the
次に、図33(a)~(c)を参照しながら、ベルト41がガイド83cを介して外部に延出する場合における頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の使用方法を説明する。ベルト41が引っ張られると、枕袋10は、図33(c)に矢印にて示されるように、ロール状に巻き込まれる。このため、頸部支持部材14の長手方向(図33(c)中のX軸方向)の寸法は小さくなる。すなわち、同図33(a)に示される寸法W1から同図33(b)に示される寸法W2となる。なお、このように長手方向の寸法を変更することにより、高さ方向(図33(c)中のZ軸方向)の寸法も調整することができる。
Next, a method of using the head / neck /
また、このように枕袋10をロール状に巻き込んだ際、面状ファスナのフック部44とループ部45とを接合することにより、このように枕袋10を巻き込んだ状態に枕袋10の形状を維持することができる。
またさらに、第一支持部材12の長手方向の寸法、および第二支持部材13の長手方向の寸法も、これら第一支持部材12と第二支持部材13にそれぞれ取り付けられたベルト41を調整することにより、変更することができる。
In addition, when the

なお、上述した例では、ベルト41がガイド83cを介して外部に延出する場合について説明したが、使用者の体型によっては、ガイド83aまたはガイド83bを介して外部に延出させることもできる。また、枕袋10に取り付けるガイドの数、およびベルト41の数は上述した数に限られるものではなく、適宜変更することができる。
In the above-described example, the case where the
本変形例によれば、使用者の体型に合わせてベルト41を頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の長手方向の寸法、高さ方向の寸法および角度を変更することができる。
上述した医療の中で頸椎において、脊椎(頸椎)手術後症候群でロ・手術後の管理不足に対しても本発明は有効である。また医療の頸椎の分野においては、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の同図33(a)に示される寸法W1の幅は、神経の障害患者に影響を与えることが知られている。このため、(a)に示される寸法W1の幅を、同図33(b)に示される寸法W2等の幅などに変更することができるという点も本発明の特徴となる。これは、ガイド83を単独で使用した場合であっても同様であり、また上述した固定コルセット装着、図32および図33に記載されるガイド83a~83cと、複数回のきめ細かい検査によるより微妙な長さ、高さおよび角度の調整ができる。
そのため、全ての患者に好位置固定することができるので、一緒に使用しても良い。なお、神経の患者に与える影響では、頸部支持部材14の長さ(巾)も非常に重要になるので、上述した各実施形態との組み合わせて細微な調整もできる。
According to this modification, the longitudinal dimension, the height dimension and the angle of the head / neck /
Among the medical treatments described above, in the cervical spine, the present invention is effective for the post-spine (cervical vertebra) postoperative syndrome and the lack of management after surgery.

人の脊柱は、図34(a)に示されるように、腰椎前弯・胸椎後弯・頚椎前弯の生理的なだらかな理想S字カーブを描く場合、重力による負荷をクッションの役目として果たすことができる。
脊柱の正常理想的位置関係は諸説あるが、同図34(b)頭部・頸部における理想的位置関係として、起立位で側方よりみて示す。頭頂より垂線を垂らし、垂線が耳穴から理想S字カーブ頚椎を通り、肩関節中央を通り、理想S字カーブ胸椎を通り、理想S字カーブ腰椎を通り、股関節、膝関節を通り、外果(くるぶし)・床面まで伸びる線上にあるのが理想とされる。
As shown in Fig. 34 (a), when the human spine draws a physiological gentle ideal sigmoid curve of the lumbar lordosis, thoracic vertebrae, and cervical lordosis, the load due to gravity acts as a cushion. Can do.
Although there are various theories regarding the normal ideal positional relationship of the spinal column, the ideal positional relationship in the head and neck of FIG. 34 (b) is shown from the side in a standing position. A perpendicular line is dropped from the top of the head, and the perpendicular line passes through the ideal S-curve cervical vertebra from the ear hole, through the center of the shoulder joint, through the ideal S-curve thoracic vertebra, through the ideal S-curve lumbar spine, through the hip joint and knee joint, Ankle)-Ideally on a line extending to the floor.
同図34(a)および(b)に示されるように、その線上の中で頭部に対する顎を引いた頚椎であれば、正常な理想的S字カーブを造り、同図34(c)に示されるように各椎間孔より出ている神経に好影響を与える。
一方、同図34(d)および(e)に示されるように、線上の中で頭部に対する前屈(前かがみ)姿勢であれば、なだらかなS字カーブが消失する。そのため、同図34(f)に示される各椎間孔より出ている神経に不具合を与え、重力に対して人体がバランスを取ろうとする「骨Caイオン化現象」とよばれる現象が発生し、同図34(f)に示されるように骨棘77を形成しやすい頚椎骨になりやすいのが実証されている。
As shown in FIGS. 34 (a) and 34 (b), if the cervical vertebra has a jaw with respect to the head on the line, a normal ideal S-shaped curve is created, and FIG. 34 (c) As shown, it has a positive effect on the nerves coming out of each intervertebral foramina.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 34 (d) and 34 (e), a gentle S-curve disappears if the wing is bent forward (bent forward) on the line. Therefore, a phenomenon called “bone Ca ionization phenomenon” occurs in which nerves coming out from each intervertebral foramen shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 34 (f), it has been proved that the cervical vertebrae easily form
この正常起立位を同図34(g)に示される寝姿仰臥位にして側方からみると、上述した同図34(a)および(b)に示される正常位を床水平に対して頭頂より頭部耳穴よりの、なだらかな理想S字カーブを考え、頭部・頸椎を通る線上を求めるなら、具体的に頭・頸・医療サポート枕1をベッドで使用することは、同図34(g)に示される顎を引き理想的なだらかなS字カーブができる高さとすることである。
When the normal standing position is viewed from the side with the sleeping posture as shown in FIG. 34 (g), the normal position shown in FIGS. 34 (a) and 34 (b) is the top of the head with respect to the horizontal plane. If we consider a gentle ideal S-curve from the head ear hole and find the line passing through the head and cervical vertebrae, specifically using the head, neck and
この点、上述した各実施形態および各変形例に記載した頭・頸・医療サポート枕1によれば、使用者の体型に合わせてその形状を容易に変更できる。そのため、脊柱が理想S字カーブを描くような姿勢に人体を保つことができ、使用者自身または使用者に対して第三者(介護者等)も、頭・頸・医療サポート枕1の形状を調整することができるようになる。
また幼少年期より携帯電話、IT機器およびパソコンなどに囲まれ、不自然な前かがみ(前屈)姿勢で頸椎後弯姿勢が多くなっているため、少しでもリラックスできる睡眠時だからこそ、なだらかな理想S字カーブを、各人の頸部・頭部に対して調整できる、本発明の頚・頭・医療サポート枕1は、現代・未来の人々・医療にも求められる。
In this regard, according to the head / neck /
In addition, since it has been surrounded by mobile phones, IT devices and personal computers since childhood, and the cervical kyphosis posture has increased with an unnatural forward bending (forward bending) posture, it is a gentle ideal S just because it is a relaxing sleep. The neck / head /
上記第一実施形態では、鞘51を枕袋10に着脱可能に取り付けている。しかし、本発明における鞘の取り付け態様はこれに限られるものではなく、鞘51が枕袋10に着脱可能とならないよう、鞘51を枕袋10に逢着してもよい。
In the first embodiment, the
なお、医学書には睡眠時に於ける枕の基準は「高すぎない、低すぎない枕が良いでしょう」、ベッドは「(例.腰後面の頂点とベッド面が10~20mm)ほどよい硬さのベッドがよいでしょう。」と漠然と書かれている。
また、通常一般人には「枕が高すぎない、低すぎない」「ほどよい硬さのベッド」の基準はない。そして、枕の高低、ベッドの硬軟は「気持ちよければ」と言う好みがあり人さまざまである。しかし、頚・頭・医療サポート枕1、頚・頭・医療サポート枕9は、高さ・角度・長さ・幅が自由自在に調整できる。
そのため、仰臥位でのベッド・床面の硬・柔どのような状態でも、人が感じる接触面が「フィットし馴染める・気持ち良い」感じに対応できる。また、腹臥位での頚・頭・医療サポート枕9使用でも、ベッド・床面の硬・柔どのような状態でも、人が感じる接触面が「フィットし馴染める・気持ち良い」感じに対応でき、微細なところまで調整することが可能である。
In addition, the standard for pillows when sleeping is “not too high or too low pillows are good”, and the bed is “excellent hard (ex. Sano bed is good, "vaguely says.
In general, there is no standard for the general public that “the pillow is not too high or too low” or “a bed with moderate hardness”. And the height of the pillow and the hardness of the bed have a preference of "if you feel good" and vary from person to person. However, the neck / head /
Therefore, even if the bed / floor surface is hard or soft in the supine position, the contact surface felt by the person can cope with the feeling of “fit and adapt / feel comfortable”. In addition, even with the neck / head /
