Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to the structure of a pillow.

[Prior Art] A good night's sleep is the source of energy for tomorrow, and pillows play a very important role in bringing about a good night's sleep.

For this reason, various improvements and innovations have been made to the structure of pillows in an effort to provide a comfortable night's sleep. In order to ensure good cushioning, cotton, feather, panya, or sponge material is used as the filling, and in order to ensure excellent breathability, buckwheat grains or beans are used as the filling. Various techniques have been devised to create a single filling. Furthermore, hard pillows such as ceramic pillows are also provided for the purpose of cooling the head.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in these conventional examples, the cushioning properties are better than necessary, causing the head to bounce and being unstable, and even though they have excellent breathability, the cushioning properties are poor. In reality, pillows were not ideal for providing people with a good night's sleep, as they had problems with pillows, were infested with insects, and could not withstand long-term use.

The present invention was proposed in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and is aimed at providing a pillow that contributes to a good night's sleep.

[Means to solve the problem] Recently, the effects of forest bathing have been reviewed, and the effects of forest bathing have been reconsidered.
It is attracting attention for its effectiveness in relieving stress.

Therefore, the present applicant focused on using essential oil extracted from cypress resin, which is the essence of forest bathing, as a pillow filling.

The pillow of the present invention includes an outer bag, and an upper layer bag and a lower layer bag housed within the outer bag, and the edges formed on the sides of each bag are overlapped and sewn, The upper layer bag is filled with a granular material, and the upper layer bag is provided with several parallel quilting strips in the longitudinal direction, and the lower layer bag is filled with a cushion body and is closed at multiple points. The granules are formed by injecting an emulsion prepared by mixing essential oil extracted from cypress resin and alcohol into the granules of expanded polystyrene.

[Operation] According to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration,
The essence of cypress essential oil is released from the granules filled inside the pillow, resulting in a good night's sleep and mental stability. It also has excellent air permeability, and can be adjusted to appropriate hardness and softness by changing the mixing ratio of the granules with other granules such as plastic, ceramic, glass beads, etc.

Further, the pillow of the present invention includes an outer bag, and an upper layer bag and a lower layer bag housed in the outer bag, and the edges formed on the sides of each bag are overlapped and sewn together. The above-mentioned granular material is filled into the upper layer bag, and since the upper layer bag is quilted with several parallel threads in the vertical direction, the granular material that provides a good night's sleep and mental stability spills out to the outside of the pillow. Nothing happens. By filling the lower layer bag that supports the upper layer bag with the cushion body, good cushioning properties are ensured. In addition, since the lower layer bag filled with the cushion body is closed at a plurality of points, even when the cushion body is made of cotton, feathers, etc., the material constituting the cushion body is prevented from protruding.

Furthermore, in this invention, an emulsion made by mixing essential oil extracted from cypress resin and alcohol is injected into the inside of the styrofoam granules to form the granules, so the cypress wood itself can be transformed into a spherical body. Compared to those that are formed or simply impregnated with aromatic components of Hinoki wood, productivity is higher and mass production is possible, and production costs can be kept low.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the structure of the ball used in the pillow of the present invention.
Emulsion 2, which consists of essential oil extracted from cypress resin and alcohol, is injected into the inside. To create this granular material 1, 30 g of cypress essential oil and alcohol are used for 1 kg of expanded polystyrene.
70g of the emulsion was stirred with a mixer for 10 minutes to form an emulsion.

Next, this granular material is filled to form a pillow, and several embodiments can be considered regarding the structure of this pillow.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the pillow shown as a whole by 11 includes an outer bag 12 and an upper layer bag 1 housed therein.
3 and a lower layer bag 14 supporting the upper layer bag 13, and an edge 12 formed on the side of each bag.
a, 13a and 14a are overlapped and sewn together. The upper layer bag 13 is filled with the granular material 1 of the present invention, and the upper layer bag 13 is provided with several quilting lines 16, 16, . . . parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pillow. Inside the lower bag 14 is a cushion body 1.
7 is filled and closed in several places as necessary. The cushion body 17 is made of cotton, feathers, or the like.

With this structure, the voids formed by the granular material 1 of the upper layer bag 13 provide suitable air permeability, and the cushion body 17 filled in the lower layer bag 14 can
This provides suitable cushioning properties. Also, vertical quilting 1 of the pillow applied to the upper layer bag 13
6, 16..., the head is suitably supported and stabilized. Furthermore, since the edges of the three bags are sewn together, the upper layer bag 13 and the lower layer bag 14 are prevented from shifting in the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the outer bag 12, and the pillow 11 is prevented from deforming.

The cypress essential oil extracted into the granular material 1 is
It releases scent and essence, gives you a good night's sleep, and contributes to improving your health. In the above embodiment, only styrofoam granules impregnated with essential oil extracted from cypress resin were used, but plastic granules, glass granules, and ceramic granules may also be mixed.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, pillows with various structures are formed by using balls in which cypress essential oil has been extracted inside the styrofoam granules as filling material, so that the essence of cypress essential oil can be obtained. is released and gives mental stability and sleep.

In addition, the granules that provide a good night's sleep and mental stability do not spill out of the pillow, ensuring good cushioning properties. At the same time, the material constituting the cushion body is prevented from protruding outside the pillow.

Furthermore, the present invention has higher productivity and can be mass-produced, keeping production costs lower than those made by forming cypress wood into a spherical shape or simply impregnating cypress wood with aromatic components. I can do it.
