睡眠時眠時上向き横臥姿勢では鼾をかく者でも頭を横向きにした睡眠姿勢では鼾の抑制効果あることが確認され、従来、枕の形状等で上向き横臥姿勢をさせない様に様々な工夫をした上記発明の枕がある。
特許文献１はアーチ状の形状により特許文献２及び３は山部と谷部の組み合わせ形状により、特許文献４及び，６，７は中央を高くして両サイドに低くなる傾斜形状により，そして特許文献５は枕の一方を足で高くして枕そのものを一方に傾斜させ、それぞれ頭を上向きに保ち難い傾斜形状によって横向き姿勢にさせようとするものである。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の発明は、以下のような欠点がある。
Ａ 特許文献１、４、６、７は端に行くほど枕の高さが足らなくなり、頭が下がり枕の効果そのものが無くなるうえ、傾斜のために不安定で遂には枕から頭がずれ落ちてしまう。Ｂ 特許文献２，３は枕から頭は外れ難いが谷部に入ってしまった後寝返りによる上向き姿勢になろうとする動作をを抑制する効果が無くなる。
等上記いずれの発明も就寝間頭を横向きに保ち続けることが難しく所望の鼾抑制効果を維持発揮できないという欠点、問題点がある。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、以上の欠点，問題点を改善するため、
（ａ） 上向きに湾曲させたマクラ（１）の底面に枕底板（２）を設ける、
（ｂ） 枕底板の下側中央に脚（３）を設ける、
（ｃ） 脚（３）を軸（４）を介して台（６）に設けた支柱（５）に接合する。
の如く構成する。
【０００５】
【実施例】
本発明のいびき抑制枕（１）は、
Ａ 枕（１）は上向きに湾曲の形状で、かつ左右に倒れても枕の高さが変わらないように中央部分の厚さを薄く、両側を横向き時の高さに合わせた厚さとする。
Ｂ 枕の素材には、ウレタン等適当な柔らかさと、形状を保てる固さ備えた素材を用いる。
Ｃ 枕の底面板（２）は枕の湾曲形状を形成保持するために、脚（３）および軸（４）支柱（５）は枕と頭の重さを支えるために金属等必要な強度を備えた素材とする。
Ｄ 台（６）は非金属でも良いが布団を痛めないように加工するともに、台の底面は、ずれ防止のためゴム等の素材をを張りつける。
【０００６】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、枕のシーソー作用により、頭を上向きの状態を保つことが難しく、枕はすぐに軸を中心に左右どちらかに倒れ、頭は強制的に確実に横向きにされる。寝返りして上向きになろうとすれば、枕はその形状により頭をしっかりとらえたまま追従し、すぐ左右どちらかに倒れ再び横向きにされ、就寝間確実に鼾抑制姿勢を保ち続けることができる。

It was confirmed that even a person who snored in the sleeping upside-down posture during sleep had an effect of suppressing snoring in the sleeping posture with the head turned sideways, various measures were taken in the past to prevent the person from snoring upright with the shape of the pillow etc. There is a pillow of the above invention.
Patent Literature 1 has an arched shape, Patent Literatures 2 and 3 have a combined shape of peaks and valleys, and Patent Literatures 4, 6, and 7 have an inclined shape in which the center is raised and lowered on both sides. In Document 5, one of the pillows is raised with feet, and the pillow itself is tilted to one side, and each of the pillows is made to be in a horizontal position by an inclined shape in which it is difficult to keep the head upward.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional invention has the following disadvantages.
A In Patent Documents 1, 4, 6, and 7, the height of the pillow becomes insufficient toward the end, the head falls, the effect of the pillow is lost, and the head is unstable due to the inclination and finally the head slips off the pillow. I will. B Patent Literatures 2 and 3 have no effect of suppressing the movement of the head from the pillow, which makes it difficult for the head to come off, but goes into the valley and tries to be in the upward posture by turning over after entering the valley.
All of the above-mentioned inventions have drawbacks and problems that it is difficult to keep the head sideways during bedtime and it is difficult to maintain and exhibit the desired snoring suppression effect.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been developed in order to improve the above disadvantages and problems.
(A) providing a pillow bottom plate (2) on the bottom surface of the upwardly curved macula (1);
(B) a leg (3) is provided in the lower center of the pillow bottom plate;
(C) The leg (3) is joined to the support (5) provided on the stand (6) via the shaft (4).
It is configured as follows.
[0005]
【Example】
The snoring control pillow (1) of the present invention comprises:
A The pillow (1) is curved upward, and the thickness of the central part is thin so that the height of the pillow does not change even if the pillow is tilted left and right, and the thickness of both sides is adjusted to the height when the side is horizontal.
B. For the material of the pillow, use a material such as urethane that has appropriate softness and hardness that can maintain the shape.
C The bottom plate (2) of the pillow forms and holds the curved shape of the pillow. Materials provided.
D The table (6) may be non-metallic, but it is processed so as not to damage the futon, and the base of the table is stuck with a material such as rubber to prevent slippage.
[0006]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, it is difficult to keep the head upward due to the seesaw action of the pillow, and the pillow immediately falls to the left or right around the axis, and the head is forcibly and reliably turned to the side. If the pillow is turned upside down, it follows the shape of the pillow with its head firmly grasped, falls down to the left or right, and is again turned to the side, so that the pillow can surely keep its snoring suppressing posture during bedtime.
