In particular, in this embodiment, the film film is used. (Or a foamed member), which is provided at the portion where the elastic member 3 is not provided. Powder 2 has a fine particle size, for example, a powder obtained by pulverizing grains such as wheat and rice, bran, metal, resin, wood, etc., and having a particle size of, for example, 100 micron. And a large number of bags with a particle size of 100 micron or more or a particle size of 100 micron or less as long as they have the same effect. It is housed in the body 1, and when a certain amount of pressing force is applied from the outside of the bag 1, the magnitude of the applied force and the shape of only the pressed portion and its periphery are changed to a desired shape. You can do this. In other words, by filling the bag 1 almost completely, the powder 2 has a fine particle size that acts densely on each other and does not collapse naturally. Therefore, as long as no external force exceeding a certain level is applied, the shapes can be memorized and held with each other.

Has been done. In addition to this, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, when a material that does not pass through the granular material 2 (the porous foam member 4) alone is used, a configuration in which both the powder and the flexible member are used is possible. The bag is not required separately. Also in this case, an air release member 4A for exhausting the air present inside to the outside is provided in a part of the elastic foam member 4, but the elastic foam member 4 is not provided with the air vent member 4A. The air vent member 4A is not particularly required if the material does not allow the passage of the granular material 2 and allows only the air to pass therethrough.
こ の実施例の可変調整ク ッ シ ョ ン装置では、 枕と して使用 する ために、 弾性部 材 3 の一面 （下面） に図 2 に示すよ う な収納袋 5 が付設さ れてお り、 図 3 (こ 示す よ う に （補助部材 6 を挿入させて） 首の部分を固定で き る よ う にな つ て い る。 な お、 こ こ で使用す る補助部材 6 は、 あ る程度伸縮性を有する筒状のも のであれば よ いが、 例えば図 3 に示すよ う な内部に空気を収容 した可撓性を有する ボ ト ル状 のも の （例えば P E T ボ ト ル等） で も よい。 In the variable adjustment cushion device of this embodiment, a storage bag 5 as shown in FIG. 2 is attached to one surface (lower surface) of the elastic member 3 for use as a pillow.
