Description

TARIFF MULTIFUNCTIONAL, WEARABLE AND SURFACE-ADHESIVE. ERGONOMIC SUPPORT DEVICE Technical Area: The invention belongs to the personal comfort products and travel accessories sector, specifically 5 limbs such as the head, neck, arms, and hands during travel, rest, or work It can be supported by; it is form-changing, wearable on the body and on vertical surfaces. It relates to a viscoelastic support device that has the ability to be fixed by vacuum. State of the Art: Today, travel times in road, air and rail transportation are 10 The increase in height and the prevalence of sedentary work have made it difficult for the human body to endure long periods of time. This causes it to remain in a static position throughout the process. According to the literature... Ergonomics studies show that the unsupported weight of the head and neck puts undue strain on the spine. It creates metric pressure and as a result, neck pain, muscle spasms, and chronic Studies have shown that it leads to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) such as fatigue.15 This is especially true when the neck muscles relax as we fall asleep, causing the head to move involuntarily. Falling to the side or forward causes "whiplash"-like microtraumas to the cervical vertebrae. is preparing the minimum requirements. In this context, the device that provides head stabilization during travel is placed on the neck. The need for support products that reduce burden and increase comfort is not just a luxury, de-20 It has become not only an orthopedic requirement, but also an orthopedic necessity. However, current solutions... to meet the varying needs of users with different anthropometric measurements and different travel preferences. simultaneously meet the physical conditions of various environments (airplane, bus, private vehicle, etc.) It is insufficient to do so. Current travel pillows primarily support the neck area with a "U" shape for-25 It has standard geometries surrounding the munt. These structures support the weight of the head. 1 It distributes the heat only to the shoulders; external vertical surfaces such as car windows and train carriage walls... It does not contain a mechanical interface that would allow load transfer to the surfaces. This situation, the user's inability to stabilize their head and neck muscles during long journeys It causes static fatigue. The "O"-shaped cylindrical cushions that can be attached to the arm, as described in the literature, have a fixed inner diameter.5 These products have different anthropometric measurements (wrist, elbow or palm). Because it cannot offer an adjustable clamping force for users with (width) Ergonomic fit and stability issues are being experienced. Furthermore, existing foldable pillow designs are bulky in terms of portability. Although it provides shrinkage, this shrinkage function requires fixing the product to a surface (e.g., glass). It does not include an integrated suction cup mechanism that converts it into a functional device. In conclusion, the current technology allows for both wearable devices that can be placed on the body and those that can be shaped vertically. They can adhere to surfaces, and can also be attached to external objects using integrated fasteners. The lack of a portable hybrid solution made the development of this invention necessary. Purpose of the Invention: 15 The primary aim of the invention is to provide a replacement for travel support components in the current state of the art. They developed a multifunctional device that eliminates the limitations of lice handling and transport. is. One purpose of the invention is to position a suction cup group on an asymmetrical viscoelastic body. Thanks to this, when the device is folded, the weight of the head is taken off the neck muscles, preventing it from touching glass or similar surfaces. The aim is to enable transfer onto smooth vertical surfaces. Another purpose of the invention is the adjustable elastic cord mechanism located on the lower surface. This allows the product to be worn perfectly on limbs (wrists, arms, head) of varying thicknesses. and to ensure it is securely fixed without slipping. Another purpose of the invention is the connection hooks (carabiner / clip) at the ends of the cords va-25 In this way, when the product is not in use, it can be attached to equipment such as bags or belts. The aim is to allow hands-free carrying. 2 Explaining the Figures: The attached figures are provided to help better understand the invention. The explanations are as follows: Figure 1: Side (profile) view of the invention in the open position. Figure 2: Bottom (base) view of the invention and the cord mechanism.5 Figure 3: The invention is folded and compressed with the cord, and the suction cups are in the activated position. It is a perspective view. Explanation of References: The parts shown in the figures are numbered, and their corresponding parts are given below: 10. Main Body (Viscoelastic block)10 11.

Suction Cup Element (Vacuum Unit) Detailed Description of the Invention The invention essentially consists of: viscoelastic materials that can be shaped under pressure and return to their original shape. a main body made of zemade (10), an elastic core that changes the form of this body- It contains a freezing mechanism (30) and suction cup elements (40) that provide surface fixation. is doing. The main body (10) has an asymmetrical geometry as shown in Figure 1. One end of the sea is a flat bottom platform (11) with a lower cross-sectional thickness while one end is shaped; the other end rises into an anatomical curved support section (12) It is evolving. In the preferred configuration, the upper surface of the flat base platform (11) is 25 Multiple suction cup elements arranged in a specific matrix pattern (sequential or scattered). The suction cups (40) are integrated. These suction cups are passive when the body is in the open position (Figure 1). 3 is in this situation. Along the lower surface of the device, an elastic band is integrated into the body along the longitudinal axis. The cord (30) extends. There is a cord adjustment that can be moved on this cord. The buckle (31) (stopper) controls the effective length and tension of the cord. Cord- at each free end of the 5 is a carrying hook (32) (preferably carabiner or spring-loaded5 (clip) is positioned. Functional Mechanism: The user adjusts the elastic cord by tightening the cord adjustment buckle (31). (30) when stretched; the main body (10) tends to shrink and folds upon itself. (Figure 3). As a result of this folding movement, the inner surface of the viscoelastic structure is compressed. The flat base platform (11) on the outside is stretched and the suction cup elements on it are removed.10 (40) makes it exposed. This position makes the apparatus a vertical surface such as glass. It allows them to be attached to the surface. When the suction cups (40) adhere to the surface, the curved support Section (12) serves as a stable pillow for the user's head. The same elastic cord mechanism (30) also allows the device to be used in “wearable” mode. It allows the user to place their arm or hand between the body (10) and the cord (30). When you tighten the buckle (31), the device locks onto the limb. Viscoelastic material (10) The coefficient of friction and the pressure force of the cord prevent the product from slipping while sleeping. obstacles. The product's outer surface provides thermal regulation in the area where the suction cups are located. It is covered with a porous / sweat-resistant textile cover that allows air circulation.20 How the invention can be applied to industry.
