Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a salt pillow in which the deliquescence of salt is prevented and with which comfortability to sleep can be obtained. SOLUTION: The salt pillow is formed by hermetically sealing salt 2 and air 3 into bags 10 forming small spaces and longitudinally and transversely arranging six each of the plural bags 10. The salt 2 segmented into the plural small spaces and sealed together with the air 3 therein moves only in the respective small spaces and, therefore, the concentration of the salt to part over the entire part of the salt pillow does not occur. Since there is no infiltration of the wet are from the outside, the deliquescence of the salt 2 is prevented and the solidification of the salt 2 by having moisture does not occur. According to the salt pillow, the salt 2 can maintain the loose fine state and makes it possible to obtain the cold and warm effect possessed by the salt 2. Since the air 3 in the respective small spaces plays the role of a cushion, the comfortability to sleep is made good.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a salt pillow in which a salt is enclosed in a bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, commercially available salt pillows have a structure in which purified salt is sealed in a bag, and due to the cooling effect of salt, headache, stiff shoulders, stiff neck, eyestrain. It is expected to have an effect of improving sleep and promoting a good night's sleep. As an example, there is a salt pillow described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3016797. The salt pillow described in this publication is obtained by arranging parcels of salt grains containing a natural bittern component and sewing them in a mat shape.

[0003]

The registered utility model No. 3
Conventional salt pillows, including those described in 016797,
When used for a long period of time, salt deliquescence occurs due to the infiltration of air from the seam of the parcel or the ventilation of the parcel itself, which tends to make the salt moist and solid, making it difficult to sleep.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a salt pillow capable of preventing salt deliquescence and providing a comfortable sleep for a long period of time.

[0005]

A salt pillow according to the present invention is a salt pillow in which salt and air are sealed in a plurality of small spaces. Since the salt divided into a plurality of small spaces and sealed with air moves only in each small space, it does not concentrate on a part of the salt pillow as viewed from the whole salt pillow. Further, since there is no intrusion of moist air from the outside, salt deliquescence is prevented, and the salt does not become wet and solidify. Therefore, according to such a salt pillow, the salt can be maintained in a dry state, and the cooling / heating effect of the salt can be obtained for a long period of time. In addition, since the air in each small space plays a role of a cushion, the sleeping comfort is also comfortable.

It is desirable that each of the plurality of small spaces constituting the salt pillow of the present invention is a bag, and the ends of the plurality of bags are arranged so as to overlap each other. What is sewn in a mat shape like a conventional salt pillow will have a step in the seam part, but this step can be eliminated by arranging the ends of a plurality of bags overlapping each other,
There is no discomfort at the time of use due to the presence of steps, and a more comfortable sleeping feeling is obtained.

The bag is desirably made of a synthetic resin such as nylon or vinyl which has a low hygroscopicity and can seal off salt and air from the outside air. According to the bag made of synthetic resin such as nylon which shows little hygroscopicity, the ingress of a large amount of water emanating from the body at bedtime can be prevented, and the deliquescent of salt can be prevented semipermanently. , A long-life salt pillow can be obtained.

Here, as the salt, a general purified salt or a natural salt can be used, but it is particularly preferable to use a salt generated from deep seawater. For example, a salt obtained by naturally drying seawater pumped from deep in Indonesia at a depth of about 200 m contains many mineral components and also contains a lot of wave energy which is greatly useful for promoting health. Therefore, according to the salt pillow using salt generated from such deep seawater, not only can the head cool down and sleep well, but it also has excellent effects on eyesight recovery, head activation, and high blood pressure.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a salt pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a single bag shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a salt pillow shown in FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of FIG.

As shown in the figure, a salt pillow 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention seals salt 2 and air 3 in a bag 10 forming a small space, and a plurality of bag Are arranged one by one. The bag body 10 is formed of nylon as a synthetic resin having low hygroscopicity.
One end of the bag body 10 is provided with an opening 11 for filling the salt 2 and the air 3, and the opening 11 is provided with a strip fastener 12 for sealing.

The salt 2 is a particle having an outer diameter of about 0.2 mm formed by naturally drying seawater pumped from a deep water of about 200 m deep in Indonesia. Such a salt 2
Contains a lot of mineral components compared to general purified salts as shown in (Table 1), and also contains a lot of wave energy which is not shown in (Table 1) but greatly contributes to health promotion In.

[0012]

[Table 1]

In the bag 10, such salt 2 and air 3
Is filled through the opening 11 and then sealed with the strip fastener 12. It is desirable that the salt 2 and the air 3 be filled so that the volume ratio is about 3: 1. At this time, the air 3 plays a role of an appropriate cushion. The opening 11
May be sealed by applying heat and compressing it instead of using the strip fastener 12.

The plural bags 10 sealed with the salt 2 and the air 3 as described above are arranged such that their ends 13 are overlapped by about 12 mm each, and are attached using a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown). is there. By arranging the end portions 13 in an overlapping manner, a step like a conventional salt pillow does not occur, and the surface of the salt pillow 10 is almost flat. Further, by using the double-sided adhesive tape, the overlapping portion can be further softened.

In this embodiment, the ends 13 of the bag 10 on the side having the strip fastener 12 are overlapped, but may be overlapped over the entire circumference of the bag 10. Instead of using a double-sided adhesive tape, a cloth adhesive tape, an adhesive, or the like can be used.

The salt pillow 1 configured as described above is used as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a use state of the salt pillow shown in FIG.

The salt pillow 1 of the present embodiment is used by being placed on a pillow P which is usually used. As shown in FIG. 4, the salt pillow 1 placed on the pillow P sinks into the pillow P due to the flexibility of the pillow P, so it does not move easily and does not slip off from the pillow P during use. .

Since the surface of the salt pillow 1 is made substantially flat by arranging the end portions 13 so as to overlap with each other, a feeling of foreign matters is not felt and the sleeping comfort is comfortable. Further, in order to make the sleeping comfort more comfortable, the salt pillow 1 may be wrapped around a towel or the like instead of directly placed on the pillow P. Alternatively, the salt pillow 1 can be formed so as to have an appropriate thickness, and can be used as it is by placing it on a bun or the like.

The sealed salt 2 filled with the air 3 into each bag 10 of the salt pillow 1 moves only in each bag 10 and does not concentrate on a part of the salt pillow 1 as viewed from the whole. .
Therefore, while using the salt pillow 1, the salt 2
The pillows are uniformly dispersed when viewed from the whole of the salt pillow 1 only by moving in each bag 1.

Since moist air from the outside does not enter into the sealed bag body 10, the salt 2 does not deliquesce, and the salt 2 does not become wet and solidify. Further, since the salt 2 is agitated by the air 3 in each bag body 10, solidification of the salt 2 is further prevented. further,
Since the bag body 10 is formed of nylon having little hygroscopicity, salt deliquescence is prevented semipermanently, and the salt pillow 1 has a long life.

Therefore, according to such a salt pillow 1,
The salt 2 is kept in a dry state forever, and the cooling effect of the salt 2 can be obtained for a long period of time. In addition, the effect of the mineral components and the wave energy of the salt 2 generated from the deep seawater seems to be blocked by the nylon-made bag 10, but the effect can be sufficiently obtained by actual use. Has been confirmed. As a result, when the salt pillow 1 of the present embodiment is used, not only can the head cool down and sleep well, but also, due to the mineral components and wave energy contained in the salt 2 a lot, the eyesight recovery, the activation of the head and the hypertension Excellent health promotion effect.

In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the volume ratio of the salt 2 to the air 3 to be filled in the bag body 10 is about 3: 1, but the volume ratio of the salt 2 to the air 3 is , 4: 1
Preferably, the ratio is 2: 1. It has been confirmed by experiments that with such a volume ratio, a comfortable feeling can be obtained without the rough feeling of the salt 2. If the volume ratio of the salt 2 is smaller than the above-mentioned volume ratio, a large amount of air 3 exists between the salt 2 and the head of the human body, so that the cooling / heating effect is reduced.
On the other hand, when the salt 2 is larger than the above-mentioned volume ratio, the cushion effect is reduced correspondingly, and the sleeping comfort is slightly hard.

[0023]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) Since salt and air are sealed in a plurality of small spaces, salt does not concentrate on a part of the entire salt pillow, and since there is no infiltration of moist air from the outside, salt The deliquescent phenomenon is prevented, and the salt does not become damp and solidify. As a result, the salt can be maintained in a smooth state, and the cooling effect of the salt over a long period of time can be obtained. In addition, since the air in each small space plays a role of a cushion, the sleeping comfort is also comfortable.

(2) The small space is a bag, and by arranging the ends of the bag so as to overlap each other, there is no step like a conventional salt pillow, and there is no foreign object feeling at the time of use due to this step. , You can get more comfortable sleep.

(3) Since the bag is made of synthetic resin, it is possible to semi-permanently prevent salt deliquescence, and to obtain a long-life salt pillow.

(4) The salt is formed from deep seawater, so that not only can the head cool down and sleep well, but also the mineral components and wave energy contained in the salt can restore visual acuity and activate the head. An excellent health-promoting effect can be obtained against hypertension and hypertension.
