Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a neck roll designed to support the head and neck of a baby or child. The roll has a middle section with two projecting arms that form a \"U\" or \"C\"-shaped configuration. The roll can be secured in place with fastening mechanisms attached to it. Additionally, there are straps with fastening mechanisms attached to them, which can also secure the roll in place. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a comfortable and secure way to support the baby or child's head and neck during rest and play."

Problems solved by technology

Such motion is particularly bad for babies and small children, as their necks are quite weak which can lead to excessive head movement.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]With reference to FIG. 1, one embodiment of a neck roll (1) for attachment to a three point, or “Y”-shaped, harness (2) of a baby seat (3) can be seen. Obviously, the neck roll (1) can be attached to any three point harness (2), and this need not be attached to a baby's seat (3). As can be seen from the figure, the neck roll (1) is shaped to include a middle section (4), which has two projecting arms (5) located at either end of this middle section (4). These arms (5) are integral to the middle section (4) and are offset at an angle, such that they reach round either side of a baby's head when the middle section (4) is positioned behind the head in support of the neck. In other words: the neck roll (1) is in a general “U” or “C” shape, with a longer flatter middle section (4) between the arms (5). Such a specific shape is not only directed to providing the baby's head with side support for vehicle motion in a side to side direction, but is also intended to provide specific nec...

Abstract

When carrying babies or small children in motor vehicles or on bicycles, many people install and use a baby or child's seat (3) for the increased safety of the baby or child, and the peace of mind this brings. Typically, such baby seats (3) are provided with a three point, “Y” shaped, harness (2) for securing the baby in position. Whilst such a harness (2) means that the baby or small child is secure in the seat (3), the effects of acceleration and deceleration as well as movement left and right of the vehicle are not addressed. In order to improve the ride comfort to the baby, in addition to supporting the neck and head, a neck roll (1) is proposed which can be fitted to any three point harness (2) or baby seat (3). This neck roll (1) both stops the baby's head from rocking left and right during travel, as well as giving support during acceleration of the vehicle.

Description

[0001]The current invention relates to a neck roll or cushion for integrating with a child's seat, and for supporting the head and neck of a child.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Child or baby seats, hereinafter referred to simply as baby seats, are used in a variety of different environments, to provide a safe and secure method of carrying a baby or child. Baby seats can be provided for integration with the affixed seats in a motor vehicle, as these are typically not designed with the safe transportation of babies and children in mind. Additionally, bicycles and motorcycles can be provided with carriers and the like, to which baby seats can be attached. The main method of securing a child within these seats, is by means of a three point harness. Such a harness typically has a “Y” shaped configuration, with two upper straps being attached to the seat and positioned either side of the child or baby's head, with the third being attached and positioned between the legs of the child.[0...
