Description

Pillow that can adjust the cushioning power and height by air pressure

The present invention relates to a pillow that has a multi-layered structure that allows the pillow to be filled with water and air having different characteristics, while being able to adjust the cushioning force and height with air pressure that allows the injection amount of air to be adjusted at any time, more specifically In addition to the cushioning power of the pillow that fits the user's body type, the height can be adjusted arbitrarily, so that the user's head and neck can flexibly and comfortably touch the pillow to relax the cervical spine, thereby relieving fatigue and getting a good night's sleep.

In general, pillows are designed to support the head and neck, which are specific parts of the human body, so that you can have a comfortable sleep while sleeping. Various proposals have been made and widely used,

Since the function of stably supporting the user's head and neck is very important for such a pillow, it is required that the user should feel comfortable by having an appropriate cushion in proportion to the weight of the body part when it touches, and accordingly Pillows are filled with cushioning materials of various materials such as sponges and cotton, as well as various seeds and synthetic resin granules.

However, in the structure in which the cushioning material is filled in the pillow as described above, although it has a certain cushioning force due to the characteristics of the material, there is a disadvantage that the height of the pillow cannot be properly adjusted according to the user's body type.

In order to improve the conventional problems as described above, a structure that can adjust the height of the pillow is proposed as Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2020-0001339.

This is a height-adjustable pillow made to be able to adjust the height according to various physical conditions and user's requirements. It is configured with a cushion part made of any one or more of cotton, memory foam, and natural rubber positioned therein, and the air tube part is configured with air tubes partitioned into a plurality of planes each having an air inlet.

However, in the structure as described above, it is possible to adjust the height of a selective part by injecting air into each air tube that is provided to be divided into a plurality of air tube parts, but this is to adjust the height of only the selected part, not the whole part of the pillow. In addition to the possible disadvantages, there was a structural limitation in that the cushioning part of the part in contact with the body could not control the cushioning force.

In addition, as another conventional pillow that can be adjusted in height, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1133417 can be cited.

This pillow has a dual structure of inner and outer cushions that can be filled with air, so it is possible to adjust the height of the pillow and the cushion strength of the pillow by adjusting the air injection amount of the inner and outer cushions according to the user's sleeping preference.

However, in this conventional structure, the height and cushioning force of the pillow can be adjusted by separately controlling the amount of air injected into the inner and outer cushions having a double structure, but since this is only an air tube of a double structure, the head and neck It is difficult to use for a long time due to heavy flow due to its weight, and there is a problem in that it cannot be supported by stably adhering the bent human body part.

As another conventional structure, the water injection type pillow of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0139980 has been proposed.

It has a structure that can be used by replenishing water in the front and regular pillows in the back. When you lie down on the pillow with half the amount of water, it comfortably adjusts the head and neck to fit your body without straining the cervical vertebrae. Not only is it possible to sleep comfortably, but the structure of the pillow is made of fabric, bedding, filling, aluminum coating and waterproof fabric to block electromagnetic waves.

However, such a conventional water pillow controls the amount of water injected into the inside of the pillow so that the height can be adjusted while maintaining the cushioning feeling by the material of the outer skin. There was a problem that caused inconvenience of use, and there was a structural problem that it was difficult to accurately control the amount of water.
