Definitions
- the present invention is to provide a head pillow, in particular to a head relaxing pillow made of an elastic material for supporting the neck and the head of a user who lies face up and is in a configuration for allowing the gaps in the user's skull to open slightly to lower the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the skull, and thereby to enhance circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- the US document US 4 550 458 A discloses such a head relaxing pillow comprising a supporting main body having a top for supporting the neck of a user lying face up and being provided with two sunken portions for receiving the ears, wherein two contact portions are further provided, each having a first end connected to one of the two corresponding ends of the supporting main body and a free end. The first ends and the free ends of the contact portions are each spaced apart by a distance.
- a central support area with a pressing portion is provided on the supporting main body, wherein the pressing portion extends from a side of the supporting main body in a direction opposite to the contact portions.
- craniosacral therapy which was developed through years of research and clinical tests by the academic community, involves pressing a patient's head with fingers, with a gentle pressure less than 5 gram per cm 2 or 5 gram per inch 2 , to enhance the balance of body movements and to promote the flow of bodily fluids.
- CST craniosacral therapy
- the gentle press of craniosacral therapy generally not heavier than the weight of a coin (5 grams), leaves no undesirable consequences even if applied slightly off the target positions.
- the slight pulses can be felt by touching certain parts of the body, and that by applying a very gentle pressure (about 5 gram per cm 2 or 5 gram per inch 2 ) with the touching hands, the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be adjusted for better health.
- the craniosacral system which is a rhythmic system of the human body in addition to heartbeat and breathing, includes the meninges and the cerebrospinal fluid that protects the brain and the spinal cord.
- the extent of the craniosacral system starts from such upper parts of the body as the skull, the face, and the mouth and extends all the way downward to the sacrum or coccyx.
- Craniosacral therapy is a therapy that assists the natural healing ability of the human body.
- a patient is generally requested to lie or sit on a therapy bed while the therapist puts his hands gently on the patient's body to "listen" to the rhythm inside.
- Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, manual, and holistic approach to physical examination and treatment and is beneficial to many body systems. Whether performed alone or in combination with other therapies, craniosacral therapy works equally well on the human body.
- the human skull is composed of several bones, including the frontal bone FB, the sphenoid bones SB, the parietal bones PB, the occipital bone OB, and the temporal bones TB, to mention only those directly related to craniosacral therapy.
- the therapist supports the patient's two parietal bones PB with hands so as to relax the mastoid process TB1 of each temporal bone TB.
- the therapist presses the patient's occipital bone OB at positions adjacent to the external occipital protuberance EOP and the exit occipital crest EOC (the therapist should not press beyond the jugular processes OBI of the occipital bone OB, i.e., where the occipitomastoid sutures OS are situated).
- the parietal bones PB will have moved outward to a small degree such that the gap therebetween opens slightly.
- the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull is reduced to enhance circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- Craniosacral therapy helps improve the internal environment of the human body and restore the central nervous system to its optimal working condition. The same therapy can also provide an increased sense of ease and comfort, strengthen the immune system, and even improve patients' interpersonal relationships.
- craniosacral therapy nowadays is mostly practiced by professionals (e.g., doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, etc.) and is rarely known to the public. Given its low prevalence, craniosacral therapy is also extremely expensive.
- the inventor of the present invention came up with the idea of applying the principles of craniosacral therapy to the design of pillows, with a view to enabling the general public to feel the effects of craniosacral therapy, thereby increasing the understanding and acceptance of the therapy while promoting Dr. Upledger's painstaking research results.
- the issue to be addressed by the present invention therefore, is to design a pillow with a novel structure capable of helping one who rests his head on the pillow to relax his head.
- the pillow is made of an elastic material and includes a supporting main body, two contact portions, and a pressing portion.
- the top of the supporting main body is designed to support the neck of a user who lies face up.
- the bottom of the supporting main body is concavely provided with a recess.
- the supporting main body is provided with two sunken portions which are adjacent to two corresponding ends of the supporting main body respectively and which correspond in position to the user's temporal bones respectively.
- Each contact portion has one end connected to one of the two corresponding ends of the supporting main body. The other end (hereinafter referred to as the second end) of each contact portion corresponds in configuration to the corresponding one of the user's parietal bones.
- the pressing portion extends from one side of the supporting main body and is located between the contact portions.
- the user's temporal bones correspond in position to the sunken portions respectively.
- the supporting main body is deformed (i.e., sags) toward the recess due to the weight of the user's neck, thereby bending the second ends of the contact portions upward toward the user's parietal bones to support the parietal bones respectively.
- the free end of the pressing portion bends upward toward the external occipital protuberance and the exit occipital crest of the user's occipital bone to press against the occipital bone.
- the gaps in the user's skull are allowed to open slightly to lower the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the skull and thereby enhance circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- the first inclined surface of the supporting main body lies firmly and compliantly against a flat surface (e.g., a bed) and serves as a fulcrum, allowing the moments of force generated by the bending of the contact portions and the pressing portion to act precisely on, and thereby provide sufficient support to, the user's parietal bones and the occipital bone respectively.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide the foregoing head relaxing pillow, wherein the top of the supporting main body is provided with a second inclined surface.
- the second inclined surface of the supporting main body lies compliantly against and thereby presses against the portion of the user's head that corresponds in position to the external occipital protuberance.
- the present invention relates to a head relaxing pillow.
- the head relaxing pillow 3 which is generally U-shaped and made of an elastic material, includes four parts, namely a supporting main body 31, two contact portions 32, and a pressing portion 33.
- the principles of the present invention lie in craniosacral therapy, and the intended effects include releasing the pressure within the user's head and promoting circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- the present invention allows the user to experience craniosacral therapy, which traditionally must rely on the hands of a professional physical therapist.
- the top of the supporting main body 31 is configured for supporting the neck of a user who assumes a face-up recumbent position.
- the bottom of (the supporting main body 31 is concavely provided with a recess 310.
- the recess 310 extends through the middle portion of the bottom of the supporting main body 31 and is generally rectangular, and yet the configuration of the recess 310 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 ).
- the supporting main body 31 is provided with a pair of sunken portions 311 which are respectively adjacent to two corresponding ends of the supporting main body 31 and which correspond in position to the user's temporal bones respectively.
- the distance W between the outer edges of the sunken portions 311 ranges from 14 to 20 cm and can be adjusted as appropriate.
- Each contact portion 32 has one end (hereinafter referred to as the first end) connected to one of the two corresponding ends of the supporting main body 31, wherein the first ends of the contact portions 32 are spaced apart by a first predetermined distance D1.
- the other end (hereinafter referred to as the second end) of each contact portion 32 extends away from the supporting main body 31, and the second ends of the contact portions 32 are spaced apart by a second predetermined distance D2.
- the second predetermined distance D2 is less than the first predetermined distance D1 such that the contact portions 32 correspond in configuration to the user's two parietal bones respectively and can support the user's head.
- the pressing portion 33 extends from one side (hereinafter referred to as the first side) of the supporting main body 31 and is located between the contact portions 32.
- the first side the supporting main body 31
- the user U's neck and head are respectively supported by the supporting main body 31 and the contact portions 32.
- the user U's temporal bones correspond in position to the sunken portions 311 respectively and are free from compression by the supporting main body 31.
- the supporting main body 31 can sag toward the recess 310 due to the weight of the user U's neck, causing the two corresponding ends of the supporting main body 31 to bend upward. Consequently, the second ends of the contact portions 32 bend upward toward the user U's parietal bones to support the two parietal bones respectively.
- the pillow 3 ends up in the shape shown in FIG. 7B .
- the free end of the pressing portion 33 i.e., the end away from the supporting main body 31 in this state will bend upward toward the user U's occipital bone, pressing against the portion of the occipital bone that is adjacent to the external occipital protuberance.
- the portions of the contact portions 32 that respectively support the user's parietal bones PB also generate an outward moment component. These moments of force cause the gaps in the user U's skull (i.e., the gap between the two parietal bones and the gap between the parietal bones and the occipital bone) to open slightly, thereby reducing and regulating the internal stress within the user U's head (i.e., the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the skull) and promoting circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
- the pressing force produced by the pressing portion 33 and applied to the occipital bone OB is able to slightly disengage the occipital bone OB from the user U's atlas (i.e. the first cervical vertebra), so as to decompress the occipital condylar region below the occipital bone OB and then release the cranial base and tissues around the jugular foramena of the user U accordingly.
- the glossopharyngeal nerves, vagus nerves and accessory cranial nerves i.e.
- the ninth , tenth and eleventh pairs of cranial nerves) of human body are all passing through the jugular foramena, release of any compromise of these tissues around jugular foramena often has a beneficial effect on the functions of these nerves respectively.
- the depth D3 of the recess 310 is about 1 ⁇ 5 cm
- the bottom of the supporting main body 31 is further formed with a first inclined surface 312 which is adjacent to the user U's body and which corresponds in position to the recess 310.
- the supporting main body 31 lies firmly and compliantly against the flat surface thanks to the first inclined surface 312 (it is also feasible to form the recess 310 only on the other side of the supporting main body 31, i.e., the side adjacent to the user, so as to increase the degree of tilting), allowing the moments of force generated respectively by the bent contact portions 32 and the bent pressing portion 33 to act respectively and precisely on the user U's parietal bones PB and external occipital protuberance, thus providing sufficient support for the parietal bones PB and the occipital bone OB respectively.
- the top of the pressing portion 33 is provided with a second inclined surface 331, and the length L of the pressing portion 33 that extends from the first side of the supporting main body 31 ranges from 1 to 4 cm.
- the second inclined surface 331 of the pressing portion 33 functions as a therapist's fingers lying compliantly against and thereby pressing the portions of the user's head that are adjacent to the external occipital protuberance EOP and the exit occipital crest EOC (the pressed positions should not go beyond the jugular processes OBI of the occipital bone OB, i.e., where the occipitomastoid sutures OS lie).
- the pillow of the present invention can be customized according to the user's bodily shape (e.g., the stature, head shape, torso).
- adjustment can be made to the second predetermined distance D2 between the second ends of the contact portions 32, the extension length L of the pressing portion 33, and the depth D3 of the recess 310.
- the pillow 3 further includes a fastening strap 34 whose two ends are respectively and movably connected to the second ends of the contact portions 32 (e.g., via Velcro or by inserting through a fastening ring on each contact portion 32). With the fastening strap 34, the user can adjust the second predetermined distance D2 between the contact portions 32.
- the second predetermined distance D2 can be reduced for a user with a relatively pointed head in order for the contact portions 32 to support the user's parietal bones PB respectively. Conversely, the second predetermined distance D2 can be increased for a user with a relatively flat head in order to support the parietal bones PB without pressing too tight.
- the sunken portions 311 in the foregoing embodiment are circular cavities in which the temporal bones TB of a user resting his head on the pillow 3 can respectively stay without the skin outside the temporal bones TB being in contact with the surface of the supporting main body 31, the configuration of the sunken portions 311 is not limited to the above.
- the pillow 3 may be enclosed in a layer of cloth for esthetic reasons, and in that case, the skin outside the temporal bones TB of a user resting his head on the pillow 3 may be in contact with the cloth.
- the portions of the pillow 3 that correspond in position respectively to the temporal bones TB are provided with the sunken portions 311, the user's temporal bones TB can still stay in a relaxed state. That is to say, the layer of cloth will not interfere with the intended functions of the pillow 3.
