Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pillows, and more particularly to a portable pillow shaper. Background Art

[0002] The global population of people with cervical spondylosis has a huge base. Due to abnormal cervical spine structure or impaired function, this group faces many challenges in daily life, especially when traveling long distances or staying away from home. Patients with cervical spondylosis have high requirements for the sleeping environment. The pillows provided by hotels are often large and too soft, lacking sufficient support, and easily rebound after shaping, making it difficult to meet the specific needs of patients with cervical spondylosis for pillow height, shape, and hardness. This mismatch results in the patient's cervical spine not being effectively supported and protected, exacerbating cervical pain and seriously affecting the patient's rest quality and recovery process. Therefore, how to provide patients with cervical spondylosis with a pillow solution that not only meets their physiological needs but is also convenient for use in places such as hotels has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] In response to the above situation, a series of pillow products have appeared on the market, including but not limited to: inflatable pillows, which change the height and hardness of the pillow by adjusting the inflation volume; shaping pillows, which use materials such as memory foam and can be adaptively shaped according to the shape of the user's head and neck; and combination pillows, which are composed of multiple independent parts and can be freely combined by users according to their personal needs to achieve the best support effect. Although the above pillows have improved the comfort of patients to a certain extent, they also have their own limitations. Although inflatable pillows are easy to carry, their adjustment accuracy is limited, and long-term use may affect the effect due to gas leakage; although shaping pillows have good shaping effects, they are often large and not easy to carry; and although combination pillows are highly flexible, they also face the problems of complex assembly and large space occupation. Therefore, although these innovative products have alleviated the travel problems of patients with cervical spondylosis to a certain extent, the problem of inconvenience in carrying is still relatively prominent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present utility model aims to overcome at least one of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provides a portable pillow shaper that can change the shape and hardness of commonly used pillows in hotels through simple operation, thereby improving the comfort of patients with cervical spondylosis when staying in hotels. At the same time, it is light and easy to carry, reducing the burden of travel.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is to provide a portable pillow shaper, comprising a base, a folding plate, and a fixing rope. One end of the folding plate is hinged to the base or another folding plate. The base and folding plate are provided with through holes, and the fixing rope is passed through the through holes and is installed on the base and folding plate. The fixing rope is provided with multiple pig nose buckles. One end of the folding plate is hinged to the base or another folding plate, meaning that multiple folding plates can be provided, connected by multiple hinge structures. The provision of multiple hinge structures can lengthen the portable pillow shaper, or shorten the base or folding plate while maintaining the same length, thereby improving the overall strength and preventing the base or folding plate from breaking.

[0006] When in use, place the portable pillow shaper horizontally on the back of the pillow, rotate and open the hinged base and folding plate, pass multiple fixing ropes longitudinally through the various through-holes provided on the base and folding plate, tighten the pillow around the waist, and tie a knot on the side of the pillow. The shape of the commonly used hotel pillows can be tightened into a long cylindrical or bow shape, and the texture is tighter, thereby providing effective support and protection for the neck of patients with cervical spondylosis. There are multiple pig nose buckles on the fixing rope to facilitate the tightening of the fixing rope and knotting operations, which makes it convenient for users to adjust the degree of tightening of the pillow, and then adjust the diameter and hardness of the pillow, such as different heights for supine and side lying, to meet personalized needs. In addition, when storing, you only need to fold up the base and folding plate, wrap multiple fixing ropes around it, and place it in a bag. Compared with traveling with your own pillow, it is light and easy to carry, effectively reducing the burden of travel.

[0007] In order to solve the problems of inconvenience in tying the fixing rope and the base and the folding plate sliding back and forth on the fixing rope in the above-mentioned solution, the through hole is further strip-shaped and parallel to the long sides of the base and the folding plate, and a branch hole connected to the through hole is provided on the side of the through hole. The width of the through hole is greater than the diameter of the pig nose buckle, and the width of the branch hole is less than the diameter of the pig nose buckle; the branch holes are arranged in pairs on the side of the through hole, and each through hole is provided with multiple pairs of branch holes; the width of the connection between the through hole and the branch hole is less than the width of the branch hole.

[0008] This improved solution simplifies the method of use. After tightening the pillow with the fixing rope, the user squeezes the fixing rope into the paired branch holes on the side of the through hole, one branch hole corresponding to one end of the fixing rope, and moves the pig nose buckle outside the branch hole to tighten the two ends of the rope without the need for knotting. On the one hand, by limiting the width of the branch hole to be smaller than the diameter of the pig nose buckle, the fixing rope is not easy to loosen after the pillow is tightened, helping the user to save the complicated operation of tightening and tying knots at the same time. On the other hand, when the user sleeps, the base, folding plate and pig nose buckle are pressed under the pillow. The pig nose buckle limits the rope from sliding, thereby solving the problem of the base and folding plate sliding back and forth on the fixing rope.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the connection between the through-hole and the branch holes is smaller than the width of the branch holes, preventing the ends of the fixing cord from slipping out of the branch holes and into the through-hole, causing the fixing cord to move left and right on the pillow. Each through-hole is equipped with multiple pairs of branch holes, allowing users to adjust the number and position of fixing cords based on pillow length and personal preference, improving comfort. For example, some users can increase the spacing between fixing cords to avoid discomfort caused by densely packed fixing cords hitting the back of the head or ears.

[0010] Furthermore, the base and the folding plate are provided with protrusions. When the portable pillow shaper is not used to tighten the pillow, it can be used as a mobile phone support stand by folding it, and one end of the folding plate rests on the protrusion of the base or the other folding plate to form a triangular structure for supporting the mobile phone.

[0011] Furthermore, the base and the folding plate are provided with reinforcing ribs, which are parallel to the long sides of the base and the folding plate, so as to improve the strength and prevent the base or the folding plate from breaking.

[0012] Furthermore, when the hinged rotation angle reaches 180°, the overall length of the base and folding plate is set to L1, and 40 cm ≤ L1 ≤ 60 cm. This range is the appropriate length of a long cylindrical pillow suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the fixing rope is set to L2, 30cm≤L2≤70cm. Since the pillow height is preferably around 10cm when lying on your back, i.e., the diameter of the long cylindrical pillow after tightening, is used to calculate the circumference, i.e., the length of the tightened portion of the fixing rope, the lower limit of the fixing rope length is approximately 30cm. When lying on your side, the pillow height should be appropriately increased to 15-20cm, resulting in an upper limit of the fixing rope length of approximately 70cm.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the base and the folding plate ranges from 3 to 10 cm. Since the base and the folding plate are unfolded and placed under the shaped pillow during use, the width of the base and the folding plate should not be too small to avoid unstable support or discomfort caused by a foreign body sensation.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is provided with a receiving groove matching the folding plate, and the folding plate is movably received in the receiving groove, so that the folding plate is not easy to fall out or unfold, and is easy to store.

[0016] Furthermore, a pull block is provided at the free end of the folding plate; a clearance opening is provided at the edge of the receiving groove of the base corresponding to the pull block; when the folding plate is placed in the receiving groove, the pull block passes through the clearance opening, making it convenient for the user to rotate and unfold the folding plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] This portable pillow shaper is designed to enhance the comfort of patients with cervical spondylosis. With simple operations, the shape and firmness of a hotel pillow can be changed, transforming it into a personalized support tool that conforms to the patient's cervical spine curve. Its innovative structure comprises a base, a folding plate, and a securing cord with a pig-nose buckle. The hinged and through-hole design allows for easy tightening of the pillow into a long cylindrical or bow-tie shape, providing effective neck support. The pig-nose buckle allows the user to adjust the length of the securing cord, thereby adjusting the pillow's diameter and firmness to meet various personalized needs, such as supine and side sleepers. The improved strip-shaped through-holes and branching holes simplify tying the securing cord, preventing loosening and base slippage. The number and position of the securing cords can be adjusted to personal preference, further accommodating the individual needs of patients with cervical spondylosis. Reinforced ribs and a multi-hinged structure enhance overall strength and prevent breakage. The rationally designed overall length and securing cord length range accommodate various sleeping positions. The base's accommodating slot and trigger block facilitate easy storage and deployment. The overall design is lightweight and portable, effectively reducing travel burdens. Through the innovative design of this plan, it can not only significantly improve the comfort of patients with cervical spondylosis when staying in hotels, improve the quality of rest, and promote the recovery of patients, but also effectively reduce their travel burden, making it suitable for use and promotion.

[0025] The drawings in this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced in size, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the products. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted from the drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable pillow shaper 7, including a base 1, a folding plate 2 and a fixing rope 3, one end of the folding plate 2 is hinged to the base 1, the base 1 and the folding plate 2 are provided with a through hole 4, the fixing rope 3 is passed through the base 1 and the folding plate 2 through the through hole 4, and the fixing rope 3 is provided with a plurality of pig nose buckles 5.

[0028] When using, Figure 2 As shown, the portable pillow shaper 7 is placed horizontally on the back of the pillow 7, the hinged base 1 and folding plate 2 are rotated to open, and multiple fixing ropes 3 are passed longitudinally through the various through holes 4 provided on the base 1 and the folding plate 2, and the pillow 7 is tightened around the waist, and knotted on the side of the pillow 7. The shape of the commonly used pillow 7 in hotels can be tightened into a long cylindrical or bow shape, and the texture is tighter, thereby providing effective support and protection for the neck of patients with cervical spondylosis. There are multiple pig nose buckles 5 on the fixing rope 3, which are convenient for tightening the fixing rope 3 and tying knots, and it is convenient for users to adjust the degree of tightening of the pillow 7, and then adjust the diameter and hardness of the pillow 7, such as different heights for supine and side lying, to meet personalized needs. In addition, when storing, you only need to fold up the base 1 and the folding plate 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, multiple fixing ropes 3 are then wrapped around it and placed in a bag. Compared with the pillow 7 brought by the traveler, it is light and easy to carry, effectively reducing the burden of travel.

[0029] When the hinged rotation angle reaches 180°, the overall length of the base 1 and the folding plate 2 is 45 to 55 cm, which is the appropriate length for the long cylindrical pillow 7 suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis.

[0030] The length of the fixing rope 3 is 70 cm. Since the height of the pillow 7 is preferably about 10 cm when lying on your back, the diameter of the long cylindrical pillow 7 after tightening is used to calculate the circumference, that is, the length of the tightened portion of the fixing rope 3. The lower limit of the length of the fixing rope 3 is about 30 cm. When lying on your side, the height of the pillow 7 should be appropriately increased to 15-20 cm, so the upper limit of the length of the fixing rope 3 is about 70 cm.

[0031] The width of the base 1 and the folding plate 2 is 8 cm. Since the base 1 and the folding plate 2 are unfolded and placed under the shaped pillow 7 during use, the width of the base 1 and the folding plate 2 should not be too small to avoid unstable support or discomfort caused by a foreign body sensation.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 that matches the folding plate 2. The folding plate 2 is movably accommodated in the receiving groove 11. This prevents the folding plate 2 from falling out or unfolding, making it easier to store. A lever 21 is provided at the free end of the folding plate 2. A clearance opening 12 is provided at the edge of the receiving groove 11 of the base 1, corresponding to the lever 21. When the folding plate 2 is placed in the receiving groove 11, the lever 21 passes through the clearance opening 12, making it easier for the user to rotate and unfold the folding plate 2.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable pillow shaper 7, including a base 1, a folding plate 2 and a fixing rope 3, one end of the folding plate 2 is hinged to the base 1, the base 1 and the folding plate 2 are provided with a through hole 4, the fixing rope 3 is passed through the base 1 and the folding plate 2 through the through hole 4, and the fixing rope 3 is provided with a plurality of pig nose buckles 5.

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the through hole 4 is strip-shaped and parallel to the long sides of the base 1 and the folding plate 2, and a branch hole 41 connected to the through hole 4 is provided on the side of the through hole 4. The width of the through hole 4 is greater than the diameter of the pig nose buckle 5, and the width of the branch hole 41 is less than the diameter of the pig nose buckle 5; the branch holes 41 are provided in pairs on the side of the through hole 4, and each through hole 4 is provided with multiple pairs of branch holes 41; the width of the connection between the through hole 4 and the branch hole 41 is less than the width of the branch hole 41.

[0036] This improved solution simplifies the usage, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the user tightens the pillow 7 with the fixing rope 3, the user squeezes the fixing rope 3 into the paired branch holes 41 on the side of the through hole 4, with one branch hole 41 corresponding to one end of the fixing rope 3, and moves the pig nose buckle 5 outside the branch hole 41 to tighten the two ends of the rope without the need for knotting. On the one hand, by limiting the width of the branch hole 41 to be smaller than the diameter of the pig nose buckle 5, the fixing rope 3 is not easy to loosen after the pillow 7 is tightened, which helps the user avoid the complicated operation of tightening and tying knots at the same time. On the other hand, when the user sleeps, the base 1, folding plate 2 and pig nose buckle 5 are pressed under the pillow 7. The pig nose buckle 5 limits the rope from sliding, thereby solving the problem of the base 1 and folding plate 2 sliding back and forth on the fixing rope 3.

[0037] The width of the connection between the through hole 4 and the branch hole 41 is smaller than the width of the branch hole 41 to prevent the two ends of the fixing rope 3 from slipping out of the branch hole 41 into the through hole 4, causing the fixing rope 3 to move left and right on the pillow 7.

[0038] Each through hole 4 is provided with a plurality of pairs of branch holes 41, which facilitates the user to adjust the number and position of the fixing ropes 3 according to the length of the pillow 7 and personal preferences, thereby improving the comfort of use. For example, some users can increase the spacing between the fixing ropes 3 to avoid the dense fixing ropes 3 from hitting the back of the head or ears and causing discomfort.

[0039] The base 1 and the folding plate 2 are provided with reinforcing ribs 6, which are parallel to the long sides of the base 1 and the folding plate 2. This helps to improve the strength and prevent the base 1 or the folding plate 2 from breaking.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] This embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that three or more folding plates 2 are provided, connected by multiple hinge structures. The provision of multiple hinge structures allows the portable pillow shaper 7 to be lengthened, or the base 1 or folding plates 2 to be shortened while maintaining the same length, thereby increasing overall strength and preventing breakage of the base 1 or folding plates 2.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation methods of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
