Description

  The present invention relates to a cooling pillow that is used to relieve heat and heat by cooling the head at the time of fever and sleeping.

In the hot night when you can't sleep, you can freeze a cooling pack with a cooling agent in the refrigerator and put it on a pillow and sleep on the pillow.
On the other hand, if you sleep with the cooler on, your limbs will cool down, and that stimulation will stimulate your brain and prevent you from sleeping. In addition, when you wake up the next morning, there are other negative effects such as sluggishness, stiff shoulders and headaches.
For a long time, it was said that "head cold foot fever" was a condition for a good night's sleep. Cooling pillows that keep your head cool with a cooling pack are popular as an easy way to sleep.

However, since ordinary cooling packs solidify when frozen, there is a problem that when used as it is, it feels like sleeping with a head on a hard plate, and it is uncomfortable and does not fit well to the head.
For this reason, cooling packs that remain flexible even when frozen in a refrigerator are commercially available, but they have drawbacks such as longer cooling times and shorter cooling times than ordinary cooling packs, and cooling performance. Was bad.

  The problem to be solved is that the cooling pack that is soft even if it is frozen has poor cooling performance, and the present invention is excellent in cooling performance, but even if a cooling pack that hardens when frozen is used, it is comfortable to sleep and to the head The object is to provide a cooling pillow that does not impair the fit.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a large number of bags arranged in a plane on a cloth pillow cover, each of which contains a cooling pack containing an animal cooling agent, and the pillow cover is attached to the pillow to cool the pillow. The most important feature is to form

The cooling pillow of the present invention is provided with a large number of bags arranged in a plane on a cloth pillow cover that does not harden even when frozen and accommodates a cooling pack therein.
Therefore, even if the cooling pack in the bag is hardened, the joints around the bag will not be hardened and will bend flexibly, so each cooling pack will change its angle freely according to the shape of the head and It comes in close contact. As a result, the entire pillow cover fits so as to wrap the head, and the sleeping comfort is improved.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a cooling pillow embodying the present invention.
The cooling pillow is formed by putting a pillow 2 in an envelope-type pillow cover 1, and a large number of pocket-shaped bags 3 arranged in a plane are attached to the pillow cover 1, and each of the bags 3 has a cooling pack. 4 is housed.
The pillow cover 1 may be a pillow case that wraps the whole pillow 2 in addition to an envelope type, a sheet-like one that is laid on the pillow 2, or a roll that is wound around the pillow 2.

The pillow cover 1 is formed of a cloth such as natural fiber, synthetic fiber, or chemical fiber or a resin mesh that has a soft touch and does not lose flexibility and flexibility even when frozen.
Therefore, even if it freezes, it does not harden like a resin film, and the connecting portion around the bag 3 is bent flexibly, so even if the cooling pack 4 in the bag 3 freezes and hardens, each one is well headed. Fits the part.

The pillow 2 uses a low-resilience pillow formed of low-resilience urethane foam, and is provided with wavy irregularities on the upper surface to support body pressure along the curve of the cervical vertebra from the neck to the shoulder.
Thereby, the shape can be changed according to the shape and movement of the cervical spine, and the body pressure from the neck to the shoulder is uniformly absorbed and dispersed to prevent the body pressure from concentrating on one point.
Therefore, there is no feeling of pressure around the neck when the pillow 2 is worn, and blood circulation is not hindered.
Since the low resilience pillow has the property of trapping heat, the pillow cover 1 in which the cooling pack 4 is put in the bag 3 can be used more comfortably.

In this embodiment, the pillow 2 is formed of low-resilience urethane foam, but it may be formed of a material such as feathers, cotton, buckwheat husks, beads, etc., and the material of the pillow 2 is not limited thereby.
Moreover, although the upper surface of the pillow 2 is waved up and down, a thing with a flat upper surface may be used.

The bag 3 is closed by using a fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener so that the cooling pack 4 inside is not exposed or goes out.
Alternatively, a folding may be provided at the entrance so that the cooling pack 4 inside is not exposed or goes out.
Alternatively, it may be formed of a stretchable cloth or mesh and pressed by the tension of the cloth or mesh so that the inside cooling pack 4 is not exposed or goes out.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bag 3 has a double-layered seam 5 formed by overlapping the cloth on the upper surface of the pillow cover 1 and dividing the space between the upper surface into a double-walled structure. May be formed.
When the bag 3 is formed in this manner, it is possible to save the trouble of sewing a large number of pocket-shaped bags 3 separately on the pillow cover 1 as compared with the case of FIG.

In the case of the bag 3 of FIG. 2, a cut 6 is made on the surface along either the vertical or horizontal direction, the cut 6 is opened and closed, and the cooling pack 4 is put in and out.
As shown in FIG. 3, the cut 6 has a structure in which two cloths are overlapped at the entrance portion, and the top and bottom cloths are overlapped to close the entrance. This prevents the inside cooling pack 4 from being exposed or going outside.

When the bag 3 is made into a pocket shape or a cut 6 is made on the surface, the cooling pack 4 can be taken out from the inside and the pillow cover 1 can be washed.
Moreover, when putting the pillow cover 1 in a refrigerator and cooling it, it can also cool out so that the inside cooling pack 4 may be taken out and a space may be taken.
Further, when some of the cooling packs 4 are damaged or dirty, it can be taken out and replaced.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cooling pack 4 is one in which a livestock cooling agent 9 is put in a bag sealed by sealing the three peripheral portions 8 of the resin film 7 folded in half. Solidify and harden.
When the cooling pack 4 is accommodated in the bag 3, the cooling pack 4 may be wound around a towel or the like.
Thereby, the feeling that the cooling pack 4 hits the head and the excessive cooling can be eased.

The cooling pillow embodying the present invention is configured as described above. The cooling pack 4 is put in each bag 3 of the pillow cover 1 and cooled in a freezer or the like, taken out after freezing and mounted on the pillow 2, and the head is placed on it. Sleep. At this time, the cooling pack 4 in the bag 3 is frozen and hardened in a plate shape, but the cloth pillow cover 1 is not hardened, so the connecting portion around the bag 3 is flexibly bent.
Therefore, each cooling pack 4 freely changes the angle according to the shape of the head, closely contacts the head, and fits so that the entire pillow cover 1 wraps the head.

When the cooling pillow of the present invention is placed in a hotel or hospital in combination with an ice box in addition to being used by an individual, it leads to improvement in customer service and patient service.
For example, if you put a clean pillowcase 1 sealed in a plastic bag and a cooling pack 4 in an ice box so that it can be seen that it is unused in a hotel room, etc. Then, the cooling pack 4 can be taken out of the ice box and put in the bag 3 of the pillow cover 1 for use.
Or you may put the pillow cover 1 containing the cooling pack 4 put in the plastic bag etc. in the ice box as it is.
This service is effective in hot countries such as the Middle East and Central and South America where cooling is not widely used, and in countries and regions such as Europe that are recently becoming hot due to the effects of global warming.

It is a disassembled perspective view of the cooling pillow which implemented this invention. It is a modification of the pillow cover of FIG. It is sectional drawing of the bag of FIG. It is sectional drawing of the cooling pack of FIG. 1 and FIG.
