Description

Functional Pillow for Preventing Postural Head Deformity in Infants

The present invention relates to a functional pillow for the prevention of postural head deformation of infants, and more particularly, to the posture of infants who can more easily and effectively prevent back hair deformation caused when a baby or a parent lays down at home or child care. A functional pillow for preventing sexual hair deformation.

Currently, infants are referred to as children from birth until about two years old (24 months) and infants from the age of two to six years of age before entering elementary school. Due to its nature, when the baby is asleep or lying down, the back of the baby's back in direct contact with the floor is pressed by the weight of the heavy brain weight in the head bone. If such pressure is prolonged for a long time, a postural head deformation, called flat head or flat head, may occur.

In order to prevent this, most of the day care devices for preventing hair deformation are composed of a fixed shape that prevents the baby's lying position by changing the position of the baby. Not only has the disadvantages that are difficult to fit in body size and curvature, but this child care attitude could cause physical discomfort to the baby.

Moreover, the following prior art exists as a method for the prevention of head deformation. For example, in the infant posture assistor of US Patent No. 0581832, developed in the West for maintaining the baby's posture, two separate backrests and a backrest are provided to expand the width according to each baby's body size. It is configured to implement a preventive posture using. However, in the case of this invention, it can be guessed from the need for a separate head restraint supporting the head of the baby raised in one direction together with the back. In addition, the fixed cushion-type backrest in shape and shape can be guessed from the fact that the inclination angle may not be effective to support the infant's back having various body sizes and curvatures in the shape and shape of the implemented cushion. In addition, it is possible to assume that the infant's severe movement can achieve an inclination angle in which the infant's posture can fall backward.

As another example, the infant safety system of U.S. Patent No. 07213281 is provided with a fixed form and shape of the backrest and the backrest using a rigid material, but the backrest and the backrest are structurally different from the number of months of infants. It can be assumed that it is not easy to maintain an oblique posture for a long time to fit various body sizes and bends depending on the sex and the development state of each person. In addition, prolonged postures that do not fit the body of infants may cause discomfort to infants, and, in order to prevent obstructions and head deformity, the prone position of the infants may be effectively obliquely prevented for a long time. It is inferred that the products developed for the posture maintenance mentioned above are difficult to maintain the obliquely preventive posture of infants for a long time with comfort and stability in terms of material, shape and form.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of which is to provide a separate auxiliary pillow that is laminated or replaceable on the pillow body while preventing the basic head cramps (Plagiocephaly) or head cramps (Brachycephaly) The present invention provides a functional pillow for preventing postural head deformity of an infant that can be properly used according to the size of a growing infant.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to use the inner foam material forming the pillow body as an air mash (Air mash) fabric, the outer skin is also formed through the pores so as to improve the breathability to prevent skin diseases such as sweat bands in the back of the infant The present invention provides a functional pillow for preventing postural head deformity of an infant.

In addition, another object of the present invention, the height of the pillow body to the neck portion is formed low, the upper portion of the head to be formed high, to prevent postural head deformity of the infant that can prevent the infant's neck from falling back. To provide a functional pillow for.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a functional pillow for the prevention of postural head deformity of the infant of the present invention will be described as follows.

Functional pillow 100 for preventing postural head deformity of the infant according to an embodiment of the present invention is the inner foam member 112, the outer shell 114, the head seat 116 as shown in Figs. It includes a pillow body 110 and the auxiliary pillow 120 made of a).

The pillow body 110 surrounds the inner foam member 112 having a porosity and the inner foam member 112, and the head is positioned on at least one of the outer skin 114 and upper and lower surfaces where a plurality of through holes are formed. Head seating portion 116 formed at an eccentric position. On the other hand, since the through-hole is formed in the outer shell 114 surrounding the inner foam member 112 and the inner foam member 112, which is an air mesh fabric, the pillow body 110 may prevent skin diseases such as sweat bands from occurring at the back of the infant. . In addition, the inner foam member 112 may be wrapped in a soft material having elasticity with an air mash (Air mash) fabric with a cushioning or may be composed of the air mash fabric itself. (See FIG. 3)

The pillow body 110 forms a low thickness t ₁ of the infant's neck and a high thickness t ₂ of the upper head, thereby preventing the infant's neck from being rolled back, while the thickness of the neck portion t ₁ ) is preferably formed within the range of 50 to 70% of the thickness (t ₂ ) of the upper head, the height is not limited to this can be changed.

If the thickness (t ₁ ) of the neck portion of the pillow body 110 is less than 50% of the thickness (t ₂ ) above the head, the neck of the infant is turned forward too much, and if the thickness of the neck portion of the pillow body 110 ( If t ₁ ) is greater than 70% of the thickness above the head (t ₂ ), the infant's neck will be turned back too far, so that the thickness of the neck area (t ₁ ) is within the range of 50-70% of the thickness above the head (t ₂ ). It is preferably formed.

The head seating portion 116 is a site where the rear head of the infant is seated, and preferably implements a hemispherical shape. Thus, the rear seat is bottomed by a space formed so that the rear head of the infant does not directly contact the pillow floor. This is to prevent fundamentally the back deformation caused by pressing on the back.

That is, the position of the head seat 116 is formed eccentrically in the center of the pillow body 110, the distance (L ₂ ) from the bottom of the outer surface of the pillow body 110 to the bottom of the inner surface of the head seat 116 is the head It is smaller than the distance (l ₁ ) from the upper end of the inner surface of the seating portion 116 to the upper end of the outer surface of the pillow body 110, preferably formed at 1/2 to 1/3 of the lower end of the pillow body 110 do.
