Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for bedding, and more particularly, to an auxiliary device for bedding which is provided under a mattress or the like to provide a comfortable sleep to a user.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Comfortable sleep is extremely important for health, and various sleep devices have been conventionally provided for beddings such as futons, pillows and beds. For example, recently, a duvet has been recommended because of its lightness, superior breathability, excellent heat retention, and good sleeping comfort compared to, for example, a cotton duvet. Also, in order to reduce the hardness of the mattress, a mat formed of urethane foam or the like is used by being laid under the mattress. In addition, the bed is configured so that the elastic force of the spring is adjusted according to each part of the body to secure a support surface that matches the curvature of the spine at bedtime and maintain a more comfortable posture. Things are provided. Further, a medical bed provided with an angle adjusting mechanism for holding the upper body in an upright state is provided.

[0003] By the way, when going to bed, it is a very natural posture to sleep with the head slightly elevated, so pillows are generally used. This pillow has long-standing personal habits and preferences regarding the material, hardness, height, etc. of its cover and filling materials. It is to experience.

The pillow is placed solely on a flat futon or the like and has a function of holding the head at a predetermined height position. If the pillow is too low, the function of holding the head height is sufficient. If it is too high, it will put a strain on the neck. "Sleeping with the head slightly elevated" for a good night's sleep means that the upper body is raised overall relative to the lower body, rather than simply raising the head alone using a pillow. It is important to maintain a posture that allows the entire body to bear the weight load. A posture that holds the chest slightly higher than the abdomen facilitates breathing during sleep and suppresses runny nose and sneezing.

As the bedding for holding the upper body including the head at a slightly higher position, for example, a bedding which comprises a mattress and a pillow as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3018547, “Bedding”, and a real bedding. A bedding (pillow) having a shoulder recess for positioning a shoulder portion when lying down sideways is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 7-11976 "Healthy pillow with multiple functions". In other words, the bedding of the former registered utility model has a pillow bag for attaching and detaching a pillow formed at one end of the mattress, and the bedding is configured to gradually increase in thickness toward the pillow bag. I have. The pillow of the latter published utility model has a pillow on one side of the shoulder recess, and a pillow on the other side that supports the waist by gradually reducing its thickness.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, it is extremely effective to obtain a good night's sleep by configuring the bedding so that the entire upper body including the head is held at a slightly higher position. The bedding of the former registered utility model retains up to the shoulder opening because the pillow bag is slightly larger. However, this bedding does not have a function of actively holding the upper body and cannot be said to have a configuration for obtaining a comfortable sleep. Also, the pillow of the latter public utility model is used as a so-called “while-in” assisting device when reading TV or reading while sleeping, and as a bedding that provides a good night's sleep without the feel of a futon. No function.

For example, it is considered that this pillow is laid under a futon at the time of going to bed. Instead, it would hinder sleep. Furthermore, if this pillow is laid, the mattress may shift during use, making it more difficult to fall asleep.On the other hand, bedding may be folded and pushed in other than at bedtime according to current lifestyle. It is an essential condition that it is easy to handle and small and light because it is stored in a storage. In addition, the bedding must be used naturally without giving a feeling of discomfort to the user and must maintain the conventional futon feel.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an auxiliary device for bedding that is small in size and light in weight, easy to handle, and can maintain a comfortable posture without burden. It has been proposed for the purpose.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the bedding assisting device according to the present invention uses a foamed synthetic resin as a material, and at least the head supporting portion and the waist supporting portion are integrally formed. It is configured to have an inclination angle of 5 ° to 7 ° so that the thickness gradually increases toward. In the bedding assisting device, a concave portion for positioning the pillow in the head support portion is formed.

[0010] The bedding assisting device according to the present invention configured as described above is used by being laid under a mattress, and the upper body including the user's head is gradually positioned higher than the lower body. By maintaining the posture so that the weight load is evenly applied to the whole body, the user can get a comfortable sleep. The bedding assisting device is designed to raise the angle awareness of the user because the inclination angle from the waist support to the head support is a relatively small angle of 5 ° to 7 °. There is no futon slippage. In addition, the bedding assisting device ensures that the pillow used to adjust the height position of the head as desired is held stable by the recess.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The bedding assisting device 1 shown in the drawings as an embodiment of the present invention is a foamed synthetic resin, for example, a styrofoam resin, which is suitable for molding a lightweight and slightly elastic molded body having a predetermined mechanical strength. It is molded integrally with polyurethane resin, foamed vinyl chloride resin, and other materials. The bedding assisting device 1 is inserted under the mattress 10 for use as will be described in detail later, and is used for use. The upper body including the head of the user P is gradually raised with respect to the lower body, and the weight is reduced. The body should be held in a position to receive the load evenly throughout the body.

The bedding assisting device 1 is in the form of a slightly horizontally elongated thin plate, and one end in the length direction is configured as a head support 2 and the other end is configured as a waist support 3. . In the bedding assisting device 1, a recess 4 is formed in a groove shape over the entire region in the width direction at the head support portion 2. It is needless to say that the recess 4 may be constituted by a recess formed in a part of the head support 2.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bedding assisting device 1 is entirely formed as a flat surface so that the bottom surface 5 is placed in a stable state such as a tatami mat. Although details are omitted on the bottom surface 5, for example, the whole surface is roughened, a plurality of anti-slip projections are integrally formed, or an appropriate anti-slip piece is adhered to the tatami or the like. It is slip-proof.

The bedding assisting device 1 has an upper surface 6 formed such that a region 6a forming the head support 2 is a flat surface and a region 6b forming the waist support 3 is an inclined surface. I have. Although details are omitted, the bedding assisting device 1 has, for example, a rough surface, a large number of anti-slip projections integrally formed on the upper surface 6, or a plurality of unevenness in the width direction. By doing so, the slippage of the mattress 10 is prevented.

The inclination angle θ given to the upper surface area 6b constituting the waist support 3 is 5 ° to 7 °. This inclination angle θ does not cause the user to feel an angle even when the bedding auxiliary device 1 is laid under the mattress 10 for use. The inclination angle θ is set so that the upper body PU of the user P is gradually raised with respect to the lower body PL to maintain a posture in which the weight of the user P is evenly applied to the whole body, and that easy breathing is performed. Angle. The inclination angle θ is an angle that does not cause the user P to feel uncomfortable.

The waist support 3 has a predetermined length at its end 3 a in the longitudinal direction in order to restrict the forming process and maintain mechanical strength. However, since the bedding assisting device 1 is formed with the above-described inclination angle, even when the bedding assisting device 1 is laid under the mattress 10 and used, the user P feels a step. It does not make you feel.

The bedding assisting device 1 supports the upper body PU including the head of the user P, which is laid under the mattress 10 so as to be gradually higher with respect to the lower body PL. The length L is about 80 cm to 90 cm sufficient to support the waist of an average physique of an adult, and the width W is about 120 cm, which is almost equal to the width of the general mattress 10. Needless to say, the bedding assisting device 1 is prepared in several sizes having different lengths L and widths W for children, women, or large-sized persons.

The bedding assisting device 1 may be covered with a suitable cover 11 as shown by a chain line in FIG. Of course, since the bedding assisting device 1 is molded from the above-mentioned synthetic resin material and laid under the mattress 10, the bedding assisting device 1 is not so soiled and requires little maintenance such as cleaning. In particular, there is no need to cover and use the cover 11. In addition, the bedding assisting device 1 is made of an appropriately colored synthetic resin material, so that a wide variety of colors can be provided, and the bedding assisting device 1 can be configured without having to decorate with the cover 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bedding assisting apparatus 1 configured as described above is placed on a tatami mat or the like in advance when laying the futon 10. Of course, the bedding auxiliary device 1 may be inserted under the mattress 10 with the mattress 10 laid. The bedding assisting device 1 is entirely covered with a mattress 10 as shown in the figure, and gradually pushes the mattress 10 from a substantially central portion thereof toward the head. A pillow 12 is placed on the mattress 10 corresponding to the recess 4 of the bedding assisting device 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the user P lays down the head PT on the pillow 12 and lays down, the bedding assisting device 1 gradually moves the upper body PU along the inclination provided to the waist support 3. It is assumed that the lower body PL is horizontally extended while being lifted. Therefore, since the bedding assisting device 1 holds the user P in a posture in which the weight of the user P is evenly received by the whole body, the bedding auxiliary device 1 does not apply an unreasonable load to a specific part. State. Further, in the bedding assisting device 1, since the inclination angle of the waist support 3 is a small angle of 5 ° to 7 ° as described above, the user P does not feel uncomfortable. Further, since the bedding assisting device 1 is laid under the mattress 10, the user P does not impair the feeling of sleeping on the mattress which the user P is accustomed to.

Since the bedding assisting device 1 holds the user P in the above-described posture, the chest can be slightly elevated with respect to the abdomen so that comfortable breathing can be performed and the burden on the heart is reduced. I do. In addition, the bedding assisting device 1 prevents the user P from breathing comfortably, thereby preventing runny snot and sneezing, and is more secure especially for people suffering from hay fever. Provide a good night's sleep.

[0022] Although the above-described bedding assisting device 1 is shown as a unit integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. The bedding auxiliary device 1 may be configured to be divided into two blocks in the width direction, for example. The auxiliary device 1 for bedding has a large number of engaging means each having a hook-shaped engaging piece and an engaging hole in which the engaging piece is engaged at a joint portion between the divided blocks. Are integrally formed. Therefore, in the bedding auxiliary device 1, when it is not used, it can be divided into two and appropriately stored, so that it is not obstructive and space efficiency is improved. When the bedding assisting device 1 is used, both blocks are integrated by inserting an engaging piece into the engaging hole. Of course, the bedding assisting device 1 may be further divided into a plurality of blocks or divided in the length direction, and the integrated structure is limited to the above-described configuration. Not.

Although the above-described bedding assisting device 1 is formed in a thin plate requiring a large thickness, an appropriate meat stealing structure is provided in order to reduce the weight, as long as the mechanical strength is not impaired. You may make it shape | mold. Further, the bedding assisting device 1 may be formed by forming a large number of ribs on the bottom surface to reduce the weight while maintaining the mechanical strength. In addition, the bedding assisting device 1 may be configured so that a number of slits in the width direction are formed, and the slits serve to steal meat and prevent the mattress 10 from slipping.

Furthermore, in the above-described bedding assisting device 1, the recess 4 is provided in the head support 2 in order to stabilize the pillow 12, but the head support 2 may be configured as a flat surface. Of course.
