Benefits of technology

[0006]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-snoring massage pillow which comprises a pillow body provided with a sound sensing unit, a control unit, an inflator unit, at least one exhaust unit and an air bag system including at least one air bag. When the user who lies on the pillow body snores, the snoring will be sensed by the sound sensing unit, and then the control unit will drive the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system. After being inflated for a certain period of time, the control unit will stop driving the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system, and the air in the air bag system will be exhausted through the exhaust unit. By such arrangements, the head posture and position of the user can be adjustedd by inflation of the air bag system, and the air bag system can further offer a massage to the head of the user during the inflation process.
[0007]The secondary objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-snoring massage pillow the air bag system of which, in order, includes two head air bags, a neck side air bag, a back neck air bag and two shoulder air bags, so that the user can press control buttons of the control unit to allow desired parts to be massaged. Since the control unit intermittently drives the inflator unit to supply air into the respective airbags, the intermittent inflation of the air bags will push against the body of the user to offer a massage function, effectively relieving fatigue.

Problems solved by technology

However, such pillows are mostly made of soft material, so that when head lies on the pillow, a portion of the pillow will become compressed and enclose the human head.
Nevertheless, such pillows cannot maintain a constant height and become excessively compressed over time, and thus muscle fatigue in the neck and breathing problem (snoring) might be caused when sleeping on such a too low pillow.
If hard pillow is used to maintain the pillow thickness at a certain value to overcome the above problems, the contact area between the head and the pillow is reduced, leading to increase of the pressure which will make the head discomfortable.

first embodiment

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an anti-snoring message pillow in accordance with the present invention comprises a pillow body 10 and a control unit 50 disposed on the pillow body 10. The control unit 50 is electrically connected to a sound sensing unit 60 and an inflator unit 40. The inflator unit 40 is connected with an air bag system 20 including plural air bags, and between each of the air bags of the air bag system 20 and the inflator unit 40 is further disposed an exhaust unit 30.

[0018]The pillow body 10 is a hollow structure made of soft material and trapezoid in cross section. The pillow body 10 includes a bottom surface 101, a working surface 102 located obliquely with respect to the bottom surface 101. a shoulder abutting end 104 to be abutted against by the shoulders of a human body. A, and a head abutting end 103 to be abutted against by the head of the human body A. The head abutting end 103 is higher than the shoulder abutting end 104.

[0019]The control unit 50 includes ...

second embodiment

[0029]Furthermore, referring to FIGS. 4-6, an anti-snoring massage pillow in accordance with the present invention comprises a pillow body 10 and a control unit 50 disposed on the pillow body 10. The control unit 50 is electrically connected to a sound sensing unit 60 and an inflator unit 40. The inflator unit 40 is connected to an air bag system 20 including a single air bag. Between the air bag system 20 and the inflator unit 40 are disposed an exhaust units 30.

[0030]In the present embodiment, the pillow body 10 is a hollow structure made of soft material and rectangular in cross section. The control unit 50 includes a control panel 51 and a power supply unit 53. The control panel 51 is disposed at one side of the pillow body 10 and electrically connected to the sound sensing unit 60 in the pillow body 10. The control panel 51 includes a switch 511 for switching on the power supply unit 53 and is formed with plural sound through holes 514 through which the sound sensing unit 60 se...

Abstract

An anti-snoring massage pillow comprises a pillow body provided with a sound sensing unit, a control unit, an inflator unit, at least one exhaust unit and an air bag system including at least one air bag. When the user who lies on the pillow body snores, the sound of snoring will be sensed by the sound sensing unit, and then the control unit will drive the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system. After being inflated for a center period, the control unit will stop driving the inflator unit to inflate the air bag system, and the air in the air bag system will be exhausted through the exhaust unit. By such arrangements, the head posture and position of the user can be adjusted by inflation of the air bag system, and the air bag system can further offer a massage to the head of the user during the inflation process.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a pillow, and more particularly to anti-snoring massage pillow.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Human beings nearly spend ⅓ of theirs lives sleeping, and a suitable height of the pillow is very important to health, therefore, lots of ergonomics pillows are developed on the market. However, such pillows are mostly made of soft material, so that when head lies on the pillow, a portion of the pillow will become compressed and enclose the human head. Physics shows that pressure can be better dispersed by increasing contact area, so that the discomfort caused when a specific part of the body is pressed continuously can be prevented. Nevertheless, such pillows cannot maintain a constant height and become excessively compressed over time, and thus muscle fatigue in the neck and breathing problem (snoring) might be caused when sleeping on such a too low pillow. If hard pillow is used t...
