DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a pillow that can be adjusted in height according to the user's preference during use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, various pillows are distributed and displayed in markets such as supermarkets, specialty stores, home centers, and department stores.
The materials used for pillows are buckwheat, cotton, plastic pipe, beads, polyurethane foam, palm, etc.
There are various types of functional materials such as magnets, cold storage materials, jewelry, deodorants, fragrances, etc., and there is much room for consumers to choose. However, almost all of these pillows do not have a height adjusting function. Therefore, even if the pillow is selected according to the user's preference, the user may feel dissatisfied with the sleeping comfort because the height does not match. In addition, even if the pillow has a height adjustment function, for example, in the case of a buckwheat pillow,
Although a method of reducing the amount of the filling material has been proposed, the operation is troublesome, and disadvantages such as the bag body being fogged are caused. It has also been proposed to change the height by filling the air with an air-impermeable bag, but the structure of the pillow is complicated and disadvantageous in cost.

[0003]

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is provided a pillow in which a user who has purchased the pillow according to his / her preference in terms of material, shape, etc. can easily adjust the height to select the best sleeping comfort.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a pillow having a height adjusting function, wherein the pillow comprises a pillow body, a height adjusting member and a bag, and the height adjusting member has a shape. The present invention relates to a pillow having substantially the same shape as the lower surface of the pillow body, inserted into the bag with the pillow body mounted on a height adjustment member, and the height adjustment member being able to be taken in and out of the bag. Further, the height adjusting member can be composed of a plurality of sheets, and relates to a pillow that adjusts the height in several steps according to preference.

The pillow body in the present invention is made of a synthetic resin foam such as polyurethane foam or polyethylene foam or cotton as a main material, and has a health, medical care, acupressure effect, body pressure dispersion effect and cooling effect. Any material may be used as long as it is a commonly used material such as a composite as an auxiliary material, and the lower surface thereof is configured to be easily laminated on the height adjusting member.

The height adjusting member referred to in the present invention is a material having relatively good workability such as polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, polyethylene foam, or polypropylene foam, and has substantially the same shape as the lower surface of the pillow body. It is a lithographic plate that is put in and out of the bag. In particular, the polyurethane foam is preferable because it can be easily processed even in a small amount, and its flexibility is easy to put in and out of the bag. The bag used in the present invention is a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or the like, which is sewn so as to cover the pillow body and the height adjusting member. It has a fitting performance that does not give a pleasant feeling.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail. A material having a large contact resistance is used for at least the lower surface of the pillow body or the height adjusting member. By doing so, the two are superimposed without using an adhesive, placed in a bag, and covered tightly, so that the two do not shift or feel uncomfortable. As the height adjusting member, it is desirable to use a material that is equal to or harder than the pillow body. This is because the height adjusting member is intended to raise the height, but this is not limited to the case where there is little deflection having sufficient hardness against the body load.

In the bag, for example, an elastic material such as a rubber band is sewn on the bottom surface of the bag to make the size of the bag freely. Further, the size of the bag body can be freely adjusted by adopting a structure in which the bottom surface of the bag body can be narrowed down even when a string having no elasticity is used. Further, a method of using a hook-and-loop fastener or a button on the bag to make the size of the bag free may be used. With the above-described method, the bag is in a state where there is no problem in use even when the height adjusting member is inserted or when the pillow is obtained by removing the height adjusting member entirely.

If the difference between the highest part of the lower surface and the upper part of the pillow main part is the height of the pillow main part, the height of the pillow main part is set assuming the lowest pillow desired by the user. Just fine. The height of the height adjusting member may be the difference between the highest and the lowest pillows, assuming the highest and the lowest pillows. The height adjustment member, which is the difference between the two, can be divided into several pieces to adjust the height of the pillow in several steps. The height adjusting members divided into several pieces do not have to be the same thickness.

For example, in the case of a pillow for use on the head, the height of the pillow is usually in the range of 4 to 14 cm. Therefore, the height of the pillow body is 4 cm or more, and can be set arbitrarily depending on the type of the pillow. As an example, the tallest pillow is 12c
m, and the lowest pillow is set to 6 cm, the height of the pillow body is 6 cm. The thickness of the height adjusting member is 6 cm between them. In this case, the height of the pillow can be adjusted in four steps by preparing three 2 cm height adjusting members or preparing one 2 cm and 4 cm height adjusting members. Needless to say, if two 3 cm height adjusting members are prepared, the height of the pillow can be set to three levels.

The pillow of the present invention is also applicable to a pillow used for a foot and a waist. For example, in the case of foot pillow, height 8
Although it is within a range of about 25 cm, fine adjustment is unnecessary, and it is desirable that the height of the thickness adjustment member be adjusted in two steps with one sheet.
