Description

The present invention relates to a bedding suitable for lying down or sleeping sideways.

Prone sleep has also been advocated by doctors such as Prof. Hinohara at St. Luke's Hospital (for example,
As described in Non-Patent Document 1, it is said to be good for health.
According to the doctor's theory, it is a stable state that the internal organs are originally in the face-down state, like a four-legged animal, and this state is also taken during sleep, that is, the face-up is healthy. It is preferable. The habit of lying on the bed helps prevent root sinking. In addition, aspiration is prevented. Tongue root subsidence is the cause of apnea syndrome, and aspiration causes aspiration pneumonia and bronchitis for people who have diminished immunity due to diabetes. By lying down, saliva secretion is promoted, and various bacteria can be discharged out of the mouth together with saliva during sleep. In addition, lying down facilitates the discharge of sputum.

  According to the doctor's opinion, the point of easy lying is to lay the head sideways and fill it with a cushion so that there is no gap between the mat and the body.

  Several conventional beddings have already been proposed for the purpose of lying down, but these are often used for special purposes and are not suitable for daily use by ordinary people. In particular, it did not realize such an easy-going sleep.

The bedclothes for lying down are a relatively hard cushion material in which a plurality of parallel grooves whose upper surfaces are open are engraved, and a soft cushion material superimposed on the upper surface of this relatively hard cushion material, A bedding comprising a plurality of air holes provided so as to reach the groove of the hard cushion material from the upper surface is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1), but this is for infants. In addition, it does not realize such an easy lying sleep.

  In addition, a hole having a shape substantially corresponding to the contour shape of the user's face is provided in the center of the pillow body, and at least the periphery of the pillow body hole that receives the user's face periphery is made of an elastic material. There is disclosed a pillow characterized in that the pillow body is mounted on a support so that it can be displaced almost horizontally within a predetermined range in the direction but not in the longitudinal direction (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This is a medical pillow and is not suitable for general daily use.

Furthermore, it consists of a U-shaped skeleton part and a cushion part, and the skeleton part has a hole or gap that allows air to enter and exit, and a hole or gap for inserting the nose in front of the forehead part. A pillow having a dent for supporting the back of the head or forehead / cheek is disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 3). It is difficult to return to the original wearing state. In addition, it does not realize such an easy lying sleep.
JP 2003-61791 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-277102 JP 7-275098 A Supervised by the “Umuse Sleeping Health Law”: Shigeaki Hinohara (President of St. Luke's International Hospital, Director of the Honorary Honorary) Date: December 8, 2005

   According to Dr. Hinohara's book “Lie-up Health Method”, the point of lying down is to lay the head sideways and fill it with a cushion so that there is no gap between the mat and the body. It is said that it is in the usage and position of the cushion.

According to the book, in order to adjust the gap between the body and the bedding caused by lying down, a thin pillow as a prop, a summer basket that has been folded and folded to adjust the height, a small pillow on the forehead and chin, etc. It is said that it is the secret to succeeding in lying down by making efforts to memorize lying down in the body, and the author is said to have been acquired over 3 months as a result.

  However, even if multiple props are placed at optimal positions on the body to achieve a lying sleep, the person rolls over and moves while sleeping. Correspondingly, the rearrangement of props interferes with sleep. The emergence of dedicated bedding for lying on the bed that can be used to sleep without worry until morning.

  Also, when lying down, some people hurt not only the neck but also the body parts such as the shoulders and limbs. Dr. Hinohara, in his book, may take some time before a person who sleeps in the back gets used to lying down. The book also admits that people who have difficulty stretching their neck muscles may find it difficult to sleep on their first face.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned facts, and the purpose of the present invention is that there is no special long-term training for lying on the bed, no pains such as bending the neck, and lying down and lying down can be performed. It is to provide a bedding for lying down that anyone can use easily and with peace of mind.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a gap that inevitably arises due to the presence of an arm or the like between the body and the base floor when lying on the bed, and requires no props, and is dedicated for lying on the limb. The problem is to solve the problem by opening from the top of the bedclothes toward the base floor, and to provide a bedclothes for lying down that can naturally shift from lying down to lying down.

  The gist of the present invention is a bedding that is used by laying on the base floor in the front-rear direction, and a pillow part having a cushioning property for placing a part of a person's head and face part on the front, and a person A body part composed of a plurality of cylindrical bodies having a bundled cushioning property that is installed in parallel to each other in the front-rear direction and a part that extends from the face part to the crotch part, and extends laterally from the pillow part. An auxiliary pillow that is attached to the auxiliary pillow, has a predetermined gap from the body portion, and extends in substantially the same direction as the body portion. The height at the time of use is equal to or higher than the height at the time of use of the body part, the front end part of the body part and the pillow part are connected, and the body part and the auxiliary cylindrical body for sideways sleeping It is that it is a bedclothes for lying down.

The extension part extended from the pillow part is used as an auxiliary pillow, and the height of the auxiliary pillow is lower than the height of the pillow part.

The upper end position of the inner cylindrical body is slightly lowered in the crotch direction from the upper end positions of the outer cylindrical bodies of the plurality of cylindrical bodies.

  The pillow part, the body part, the auxiliary pillow, and the auxiliary cylindrical body for sideways sleeping are housed in one futon cover.

In the present invention, the pillow portion for lying down and the auxiliary pillow are directly connected to eliminate the gap between the pillows, so that the head can be transferred, the rolling is smooth, and the rolling is interrupted. Is gone.

  In the present invention, the height of the auxiliary pillow is made lower than the height of the pillow part, so that the head in the collapsed state placed on the pillow part can move more smoothly by turning over to a lower auxiliary pillow. became.

According to the present invention, the auxiliary cylindrical body and the auxiliary pillow can be detached by using a detachable connecting means, so that it is possible to provide a lying bedding that is considered to be healthy for a healthy person.

In addition, the gap between the auxiliary cylinder and the auxiliary pillow, and the gap between the auxiliary cylinder and the body portion can be adjusted appropriately by adjusting the positions of the respective detachable connecting means at two locations.

Like a turtle resting with its limbs resting from its shell, the person is supported from the base floor to a certain height from the head to the crotch in a lying state. Since both hands and both feet protrude from the bedding to the left and right and are located on the base floor, there is no gap between the body and the bedding, there is no load on the arm or the like due to body weight, and there is an effect that the limbs are easy.

With this bedding, a user who is lying on his / her face is slightly inclined to move his / her body weight to the left / right, and the body immediately reacts and becomes inclined. Even without shifting the center of gravity, the position of the left or right shoulder is raised or lowered, and the waist is tilted left and right, and the entire body is tilted by changing the position of the left or right limb. Can be.

As a result, the face part also naturally tilts to the left and right, and additional space is formed near the nostril and mouth, which are originally higher than the base floor. Even if it is not bent, it has the effect of making it easier to breathe naturally.

With the lying bedclothes of the present invention, people are freed from illness, sleep apnea syndrome, strokes caused by oxygen deficiency, etc. It has the effect of being able to realize a lying sleep, which is said to be good for health, such as improving the quality of sleep.

In this bedding, the torso and the auxiliary cylindrical body laid on the body are kept in a predetermined gap slightly narrower than the shoulder width and the width of the body in advance, and are connected substantially in parallel, so that it is possible to prevent sleeping on the back. There is an effect of guiding to lying down sideways.

A person uses an auxiliary pillow and is softly sandwiched between a torso part and an auxiliary cylindrical body by a substantially U-shaped gap formed by a duvet cover, so that a person can sleep stably without being in a sideways sleeping state. .

A U-shaped groove is formed by two pieces of smooth cloth by a duvet cover so as to protect the body part and the auxiliary cylindrical body and the detachable connecting means between them. This substantially U-shaped groove makes it possible to turn over smoothly, and to keep the body lying on its side lying soft and stable without exerting a large restraining force on the body.

After turning over, for example, if the torso is in the form of a body pillow in front of the body, the auxiliary cylinder supports the back side and maintains a lying-down state. In addition, if the auxiliary cylinder is in front of the body after turning over, the torso maintains a state of lying sideways on the back side.

The prone sleeping bedding can effectively perform the two functions of lying down and lying down sideways. This is due to the smooth feeling of use of the single bedding cover of the lying bedding that integrates each part of the bedding. However, it is big.

Nasal discharge and phlegm caused by lying down directly stains the bedding. However, the futon cover can be washed and kept clean.

The smooth surface of the duvet cover allows you to turn back and forth from lying to lying, from lying to lying, and from lying to lying. In addition, it produces an excellent effect in the storage of long and bulky bedding.

  The aspect of the lying bedding of the present invention will be described. In addition, in this specification, the same code | symbol written over each figure shows the same or similar member and thing. 1, 2, and 3, the lying bedding 1 according to the present invention is a bedding that is laid on the base floor B in the front-rear direction, and is located in front and a part of the head portion 101 and the face portion of the person 100. And a plurality of cylinders having a bundled cushioning property that are installed in parallel to each other in the front-rear direction and in close contact with each other on a portion extending from the human face part to the crotch part 103 A body part 5 composed of a body 4, an auxiliary pillow 6 extending laterally from the pillow part 3, and attached to the auxiliary pillow 6, having a predetermined gap 7 from the body part 5, and substantially the same as the body part 5 And the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 for sleeping sideways extending in the direction, and the height when the pillow part 3 is used is equal to or higher than the height when the body part 5 is used, and the front end of the body part 5 Part 9 and pillow part 3 are connected, and body part 5 and auxiliary cylindrical body 8 for sideways sleeping are connected. That is a Utsubusene for bedding 1.

The height of the pillow part 3 when used is equal to or higher than the height of the body part 5. This is for avoiding that the head 101 becomes lower than other bodies at bedtime for physiological reasons.

In order to directly support the forehead of the person 100 and the eyes of the face part, the pillow part 3 is preferably made of, for example, soft cotton or a low-rebound material. They are formed with a high density so as not to lose their shape into a pillow mold while suppressing expansion, and are made into a pillow with a cloth or the like. For example, in the case of an average adult boy, the size of the pillow part 3 is preferably 20 cm in height, 25 cm in front and rear width, and 45 cm in left and right width.

The role of the body part 5 is required to be able to keep the body part from the face part to the crotch part 103 soft at a constant height from the base floor B and to maintain the left and right widths of the body part 5 at a constant width. For example, in the case of an average adult male, the size of the body part 5 is 15 cm in height, the front and rear width is 80 cm, and the left and right width is 35 cm, which is substantially the same as the body part width of the person 100 to be used. preferable.

The front end portion 9 of the body portion 5 and the pillow portion 3 may be directly joined, but are detachably connected via a flexible sheet-like intermediate member 10 as shown in FIGS. It is also preferable in view of ease of storage when not in use.

In FIG. 2, the flexible intermediate member 10 is formed of a rectangular fabric, but the flexible intermediate member 10 that connects the front end portion 9 of the trunk portion 5 and the pillow portion 3 is limited to the fabric. Instead, it may be made of a member such as a string.

Moreover, in FIG. 2, the front-end part 9 of the trunk | drum 5 and the back-end part 12 of the fabric are connected by the hook-and-loop fastener. A hook-and-loop fastener male 13 is disposed at the front end 9, and a hook-and-loop female 14 is disposed at the rear end 12 of the fabric 11.

The front lower edge 15 of the pillow part 3 and the auxiliary pillow 6 is connected to the front end 16 of the fabric through stitches by stitching. This connection may be via a fastener. The combination of the pillow part 3, the auxiliary pillow 6, and the fabric may be by a detachable connecting means such as a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook or a button.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, among the plurality of cylindrical bodies 4, the upper end position 18 of the cylindrical body 4 inside the upper end position 18 of the outer cylindrical body 4 is slightly allowed in the direction of the crotch 103. By lowering, when the body part 5 and the pillow part 3 are connected, a small gap 19 can be generated between them.

Further, the fact that the rear end 12 of the inner cylindrical body, which is the rear end 12 of the body 5, is stably positioned between the crotch 103 so as to be sandwiched between both feet is a balance between the body 5 and the person 100. Above preferred.

When the pillow part 3 and the body part 5 are connected, the low-permissible gap 19 forms a gap 19 in the vicinity of the nostril and the mouth, thereby facilitating air supply and exhaust during breathing.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, a plurality of bundled cushioning properties that are installed in parallel to each other in the front-rear direction and in close contact with each other on a portion from the face portion of the person 100 to the crotch portion 103. The body part 5 is composed of the cylindrical body 4.

The plurality of cylindrical bodies 4 are arranged in parallel to each other in the front-rear direction, and the side portions 20 of the adjacent cylindrical bodies 4 are in close contact with each other through stitches. Bonding of the side portions 20 of the cylindrical body 4 may be performed by an adhesive.

The cylindrical body 4 is, for example, a cylinder body 4 that is formed into a high-density cylindrical shape by being compressed several times while compressing the expansion of the futon cotton as much as possible, and is made of a cloth or the like.

Moreover, the cylindrical body 4 may be a wound body in which a cloth body such as a carpet, a bath mat, a blanket, or a low repulsion material is wound up in a cylindrical shape with high density. The size of the cylindrical body 4 is preferably, for example, a length of 70 cm and a diameter of 15 cm.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the body portion 5 formed of a plurality of cylindrical bodies 4 bundled with cloth shown in FIG. The body part 5 has, for example, a bowl shape.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of cylindrical bodies 4 are wound with cloth to be finished into an integrated body portion 5 that is processed to a higher density and does not lose its shape.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a person is lying on the floor using the bedclothes for lying down. It is important for the stability of sleep that cushioned objects such as the pillow part 3 and the torso part 5 are laid from the head 101 to the crotch part 103 of the person 100 when lying down. It is. This has been proposed by doctors as mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 3, the body portion 5 formed of a plurality of cylindrical bodies 4 formed with a high density and made of a material that does not easily lose shape while maintaining cushioning properties can be maintained at a constant height and width. The height is maintained, and there is no room for a gap such as a hand between the person 100 and the bedding 1 by the body portion 5 having a predetermined left and right width, and the hand is stable on the base floor B.

By such a torso portion 5, the body 100 immediately reacts and becomes inclined when the face-down person 100 slightly shifts the weight to the left and right. Even without shifting the center of gravity, just changing the position of the left or right limb will immediately change the position of the left or right shoulder up or down, causing tilting of the waist, and tilting the entire body. It becomes possible to do.

If the body 5 is formed from a single cylinder 4 or a plurality of cylinders 4 such as soft sponges, the balance is not stable, and the height of the body 5 is low due to the weight of the body. As a result, the limbs on the base floor B become cramped and it is difficult to continue lying down.

Even when the head 101 is displaced from or separated from the pillow part 3, it is easy to move the body consciously or semi-unconsciously to restore the position of the head 101 by using the body part 5 as a position guide. Become. Further, even when the crotch part 103 is displaced from the body part 5 or is displaced, it is easy to move the body and restore the position of the crotch part 103 as described above.

FIG. 6 shows the pillow portion 3 and the auxiliary pillow 6 in a state where the pillow 7 for lying down and the auxiliary pillow 6 is eliminated and both pillows of the present invention are directly connected and used for sleeping. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the head portion 101 cut along a horizontal line.

There is a difference in height between the pillow part 3 and the auxiliary pillow 6, and the head 101, which is in a collapsed state in the pillow part 3, turns over smoothly to the auxiliary pillow 6, and on the auxiliary pillow 6 with an inclination of about 45 degrees. It is placed. The reason for the inclination is that the auxiliary cylinder 8 is laid on the body lying sideways and supports the back.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bedclothes for lying down 1 are used to sleep sideways. The body portion 5 is in a dakimakura state, and the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 is laid on the body lying sideways to support the back portion.

In FIG. 2, the auxiliary pillow 6 for sleeping sideways extending from the pillow portion 2 in the horizontal direction and the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 are connected by a hook. A hook female 23 is arranged on the auxiliary pillow 6, and a male hook 22 is arranged on the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 so that the pointed end of the male 22 does not directly hit the body.

2 has a small number of hook males 22, for example, three, and the auxiliary pillow 6 in FIG. 2 has a large number of hook females 23, for example, six. By selecting the knife 23, the coupling position of the auxiliary cylinder 8 and the auxiliary pillow 6 can be changed.

Thereby, it can adjust according to the size of the person who uses the clearance gap 7 between the auxiliary | assistant cylindrical body 8 and the trunk | drum 5. FIG. The connection between the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 and the auxiliary pillow 6 may be performed via a detachable connecting means such as a hook-and-loop fastener, a fastener, and a string.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 8, a belt-like cloth string 24 that serves as a connecting means between the rear end 12 of the auxiliary cylinder 8 and the rear end 12 of the body 5 is formed of the auxiliary cylinder 8 and the body. 5 may be used as long as it is maintained substantially in parallel, and does not stick to the belt-like cloth string 24.

2 and 8, the strap 13 on the side of the auxiliary cylinder 8 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 8 is provided with a male hook 13 and the strap 24 on the side of the body 5 shown in FIG. A knife 14 is arranged. Accordingly, the gap 7 between the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 and the rear end portion 12 of the body portion 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the person using the space.

The auxiliary cylindrical body 8 is preferably made of a cushioning member that is relatively softer than the cylindrical body 4 constituting the body portion 5 because the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 continues to be laid on the body for a long time. As shown in FIG. 8, the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 has a shape in which the diameter corresponding to the shoulder is slightly larger and the diameter corresponding to the waist is slightly thinner.

The diameter of the auxiliary cylinder 8 is preferably 15 cm at the shoulder and 10 cm at the waist, for example. The length is preferably 70 cm, for example, such that the front end 9 reaches from the shoulder and the rear end 12 reaches the vicinity of the person's waist in the state of lying down sideways.

As shown in FIG. 6, the height of the auxiliary pillow 6 is about half or less than the pillow portion. The width is wider and flat than the pillow part. You can use it if your favorite pillow meets your requirements.

One bedding cover that is used to store and use the lying-bedding bedding 1 together with the detachable coupling means covers and covers all the lying-bedding bedding 1, so that the coupling means is also loosened. Difficult, the duvet cover becomes a practical means to use for the final finish of the bedding bedding.

Nasal discharge and drooling caused by lying down directly stains the bedding. However, the futon cover can be washed and kept clean.

In addition, the long and heavy squat bedding tends to loosen each portion connected by a detachable connecting means. However, all the connecting parts of the lying bedding are protected by the futon cover, and the futon cover itself becomes a stronger connecting means, further enhancing the original function of the lying bedding 1.

The entire bedclothes such as the pillow part 3, the body part 5, the auxiliary pillow 6, and the auxiliary cylindrical body 8 are made ready for use immediately and stored in a single futon cover 25. The lying bedding 1 is always stored in a dedicated futon cover 25 that increases the efficiency of use and storage. FIG. 9 is a bottom view of the duvet cover 25 as viewed from below with the storage opening 26. The binding portion is closed by a hook-and-loop fastener whose adhesion is increased by weight.

In addition, the present invention can be carried out in a mode in which various improvements, modifications, and changes are added based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

It is a side view of the lying bedding of the present invention. It is a top view of the lying bedding for the same. It is a figure which shows the state which has fallen asleep using the lying bedding for lying. It is a top view which shows the trunk | drum part of the lying bedding for the same.
