AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The objective of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a height adjustable pillow for a person to rest thereon or to be used while a person is undergoing chiropractic treatments so as to cushion the weight of the user's head and neck. Moreover, a relative height between a chin support portion and a neck support portion of the present pillow is adjustable in order to provide a comfort feeling to the user.

[0019](1) Since the neck support portion and the chin support portion are designed in an integral manner and are able to connect with each other (through first and second Velcro straps), the height between the chin support portion and the neck support portion can be adjusted in order to cushion an individual head relative to the neck so that the present pillow is suitable for use during a long flight, taking a nap in the office or school or while one is undergoing chiropractic treatment.

[0020](2) The first Velcro strap is designed in an elongated strap or non-continuous minor straps. The simple design provides ample usages.

[0021](3) Owing to the cylindrical shape of the chin support portion, the first Velcro strap in the elongated form can be mounted along the longitudinal length of the chin support portion, which, in turn, provides adjustment of height between the chin support portion and the neck support portion.

[0022](4) The chin support portion and the neck support portion are integrally formed and hence are in spatially communicated relative to each other so as to form an inflatable body. An inflatable valve is provided at one of the neck and chin support portions for inflating and deflating. When inflated, the present pillow can cushion the user's neck and chin, thereby eliminating tiredness of the user's neck and shoulder. When deflated, the present pillow occupies a little storage space and hence convenient to carry along or transportation.

[0023](5) When the neck support portion and the chin support portion are separately formed, the damaged ones can be discarded and is can be replaced by new ones, thereby economizing the user's expense.

Problems solved by technology

Under this circumstance, the neck is unable to withstand the weight and movement the head in the rightwise and leftwise directions, thereby resulting in tiredness of the neck.
