Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seating, and in particular to a novel headrest and seat. Background Technology

[0002] Headrests are ubiquitous on ergonomic chairs and gaming chairs. Some chairs have headrests that are directly fixed to the backrest, making them non-removable and difficult to adjust in height. Therefore, to meet the needs of users, some chairs are equipped with headrests that are removable and adjustable in height.

[0003] For example, in the patent for a chair with a magnetic headrest (CN222237199), a magnetic component is provided on the back of the chair, and the magnetic block on the magnetic headrest is magnetically attracted to the magnetic component. The magnetic connection makes the headrest and the chair detachable, which is convenient for the headrest to be disassembled and assembled. However, this connection structure is relatively complex. When the magnetic block and the magnetic component are misaligned, it is difficult to fix the headrest to the back of the chair. Therefore, although this magnetic connection structure of the headrest is easy to disassemble, it is difficult to adjust the height and is not economical.

[0004] For example, in the gaming chair patent with announcement number CN219183217, a headrest is provided on the chair body, and an elastic band is connected to the headrest. The headrest is connected to the chair body through the elastic band, and the connection of the elastic band also makes the headrest and the chair detachable, which is convenient for the headrest to be installed and removed. The user can change the connection position of the elastic band to the chair body to adjust the support position of the headrest. However, most elastic bands are flexible elastic bands. When the user's head is leaning against the headrest, the elastic band is difficult to keep the headrest stable, which affects the sitting experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model provides a novel headrest and seat. By setting the headrest structure to be elastic and having a clamping area, the headrest can be clamped to the upper part of the chair back. Users can remove the headrest or adjust its support position on the chair back according to their own needs. The entire headrest has both detachable connection and height adjustment functions, strong stability, and improves the sitting experience.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A novel headrest includes a first headrest portion and a second headrest portion. A connecting portion is integrally formed between the upper ends of the first headrest portion and the upper ends of the second headrest portion. An elastic headrest body is formed between the connecting portion, the first headrest portion, and the second headrest portion. The headrest body has a clamping area that opens downward and is used to clamp the backrest. Under the action of external force, the headrest body undergoes elastic deformation and causes the first headrest portion and the second headrest portion to open outward to adjust the size of the clamping area into place.

[0008] Preferably, the pillow body is an inverted U-shaped structure, including an elastic U-shaped cushion. Under external force, the U-shaped cushion undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first and second pillow parts to open outward. The U-shaped cushion itself is elastic and can deform under external force to adjust the size of the clamping area.

[0009] Preferably, the pillow body is an inverted U-shaped structure, including a U-shaped soft pad and a U-shaped elastic element built into the U-shaped soft pad. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped elastic element undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first pillow part and the second pillow part to open outward. The elasticity of the U-shaped soft pad is given by the U-shaped elastic element. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped elastic element can deform and adjust the size of the clamping area.

[0010] Preferably, the U-shaped elastic element is a spring steel wire bent along a predetermined contour. The spring steel wire includes a first U-shaped segment and a second U-shaped segment that are connected to each other and correspond to the first bolster and the second bolster respectively. The spring steel wire has good elasticity, occupies little space, has low cost, and can provide sufficient elastic force.

[0011] Preferably, the U-shaped elastic element is a U-shaped elastic plate, which includes a first elastic plate and a second elastic plate that are connected to each other and correspond to the first pillow part and the second pillow part respectively; the U-shaped elastic plate has good elasticity, which can improve the support of the pillow body and provide sufficient elasticity.

[0012] Preferably, the pillow has a front support mode and a back support mode. When the first pillow part faces forward to accommodate the head and neck, the pillow is in the front support mode. When the pillow is flipped half a turn and the second pillow part faces forward to accommodate the head and neck, the pillow switches to the back support mode. This creates a double-sided support structure on the pillow. The unique double-sided support structure can also provide different support experiences and shapes.

[0013] Preferably, the first and second occipital portions have a first and a second occipital surface for contacting the head, respectively, with the area of ​​the first occipital surface being larger than that of the second occipital surface, thus providing different levels of support for the user's head.

[0014] Preferably, the left-right width of the first occipital region is greater than the left-right width of the second occipital region.

[0015] Preferably, the thickness of the first occipital region is greater than that of the second occipital region, providing different levels of support for the user's head.

[0016] Preferably, the longitudinal length of the first occipital region is greater than the longitudinal length of the second occipital region.

[0017] A seat includes a backrest and the novel headrest, wherein a first headrest portion and a second headrest portion open outward and clamp onto the upper end of the backrest, such that the headrest is detachably connected to the backrest and can be raised and lowered relative to the backrest to adjust the support position.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model, which adopts the above technical solution, are as follows:

[0019] The pillow body in this invention is elastic. The first and second pillow parts can elastically deform under external force, adjusting the size of the clamping area on the pillow body so that the pillow body can be clamped to the upper end of the chair back. Since the headrest is mainly subjected to backward force when the head is leaning against it, the pillow body clamped to the upper end of the chair back will not wobble when supporting the head, and the support effect is relatively stable. The clamp-on pillow body can be removed for washing at any time, and the support of the pillow body can also be changed by adjusting the position of the pillow body up and down, which facilitates the adjustment and washing of the headrest. The design is simple and ingenious, making the pillow body more versatile.

[0020] The pillow has a first pillow part and a second pillow part, both of which can be used to support the user's head. Therefore, by making the first pillow part and the second pillow part have different parameters such as pillow surface size, longitudinal length or thickness, the pillow can provide the user with a variety of different support sensations, thereby improving the user experience and practicality of the pillow.

[0021] The pillow's U-shaped cushion contains spring steel wires. Spring steel wires occupy little space, are low in cost, are easy to manufacture and produce, have a stable structure, and a long service life. Embedding spring steel wires inside the pillow can give the pillow good elasticity. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] This utility model has multiple embodiments, and the specific implementation methods are as follows:

[0033] Example 1: As Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel headrest, including a first pillow portion 11 and a second pillow portion 12. A connecting portion 13 is integrally formed between the upper ends of the first pillow portion 11 and the upper ends of the second pillow portion 12. An elastic pillow body is formed between the connecting portion 13, the first pillow portion 11, and the second pillow portion 12. The pillow body has an inverted U-shaped structure and a clamping area that opens downwards and is used to clamp the backrest 4. Under the action of external force, the pillow body undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first pillow portion 11 and the second pillow portion 12 to open outwards to adjust the size of the clamping area. Users can remove the pillow body for washing at any time according to their own needs, and can also change the support of the pillow body by adjusting the position of the pillow body up and down. The design is simple and ingenious, making the pillow body more versatile and improving the user experience of the headrest.

[0034] Furthermore, the pillow body includes an elastic U-shaped soft pad 2, which is a flexible support pad made of sponge material or molded cotton material. For easy removal and washing, the U-shaped soft pad 2 is usually covered with an outer cover 1. In this embodiment, the U-shaped soft pad itself has strong elasticity. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped soft pad 2 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first pillow part 11 and the second pillow part 12 to open outward and adjust the size of the clamping area to the correct position.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to its own strong elasticity, the U-shaped cushion 2 can also provide elasticity to the pillow body by setting an elastic element inside the U-shaped cushion 2. Specifically, the U-shaped cushion 2 has a built-in U-shaped elastic element. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped elastic element undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first pillow part 11 and the second pillow part 12 to open outward. The elasticity of the U-shaped cushion 2 is given by the U-shaped elastic element. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped elastic element can deform and adjust the size of the clamping area. In this embodiment, the U-shaped elastic element is a spring steel wire 3 bent along a predetermined contour. The spring steel wire 3 includes a first U-shaped segment 31 and a second U-shaped segment 32 that are connected to each other and correspond to the first pillow part 11 and the second pillow part 12 respectively. The spring steel wire 3 has good elasticity, occupies little space, has low cost, and can provide sufficient elasticity. When an external force is applied to the pillow body, the first U-shaped segment 31 and the second U-shaped segment 32 move away from each other and cause the entire spring steel wire 3 to undergo elastic deformation, which can also adjust the size of the clamping area to the correct position.

[0036] Furthermore, besides being easy to assemble, disassemble, and adjust, the first pillow portion 11 and the second pillow portion 12 on the pillow can both support the head or neck. Specifically, the pillow has a front support mode and a back support mode. When the first pillow portion 11 faces forward to accommodate the head and neck, the pillow is in the front support mode; when the pillow is flipped half a turn so that the second pillow portion 12 faces forward to accommodate the head and neck, the pillow switches to the back support mode. This creates a double-sided support structure on the pillow, and the unique double-sided support structure can also provide different support experiences and shapes. For example, in this embodiment, the first pillow portion 11 and the second pillow portion 12 respectively have a first pillow surface and a second pillow surface for contacting the head, and the area of ​​the first pillow surface is larger than the area of ​​the second pillow surface. For users with larger heads, the pillow can be adjusted to the front support mode. For users with smaller heads, the pillow can be removed from the chair back 4, flipped half a turn, and then clamped to the upper end of the chair back 4 to adjust the pillow to the back support mode. This design is simple, efficient, easy to adjust, and provides different support sensations for the heads of different users.

[0037] Furthermore, in addition to making the first and second pillow surfaces different in size, the double-sided support structure of the pillow in this embodiment can also make the headrest more ergonomic. For example, the left and right width of the first pillow part 11 can be greater than the left and right width of the second pillow part 12; correspondingly, the left and right width of the first U-shaped segment 31 is greater than the left and right width of the second U-shaped segment 32; when the user needs to move his / her body left and right while lying on his / her back, his / her head can rest on the second pillow part 12. Since the width of the second pillow part 12 is smaller, it can leave a larger range of motion for his / her shoulders; when the user lies directly backward and does not need to move left and right or turn over, his / her head can rest on the first pillow part 11. The left and right width of the first pillow part 11 is larger, which can directly support the user's rising position close to his / her shoulders; this design fully considers the user's sitting habits and is ergonomic.

[0038] Furthermore, a seat is provided, including a backrest 4 and the novel headrest, wherein a first pillow portion 11 and a second pillow portion 12 open outward and clamp onto the upper end of the backrest 4, so that the pillow body is detachably connected to the backrest 4. The pillow body clamped onto the upper end of the backrest 4 will not wobble when supporting the head, and the support effect is relatively stable; and the pillow body can be raised and lowered relative to the backrest 4 to adjust the support position.

[0039] Example 2: As Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment differs from the above embodiment in that the longitudinal length of the first pillow portion 11 in this embodiment is greater than the longitudinal length of the second pillow portion 12. When the user is lying on their back and needs the pillow to support only their head, their head can rest on the second pillow portion 12. Since the longitudinal length of the second pillow portion 12 is smaller, the pillow only supports the head and not the neck. When the user is lying backward and needs to support both their head and neck, their head can rest on the first pillow portion 11. The longitudinal length of the first pillow portion 11 is larger, which can directly support the user's head and neck, providing a more comfortable support effect.

[0040] Example 3: As Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment differs from the above embodiments in that the U-shaped elastic element in this embodiment is a U-shaped elastic plate 5, which is usually made of a thin plastic or metal sheet with elasticity. The U-shaped elastic plate 5 includes a first elastic plate 51 and a second elastic plate 52 that are connected to each other and correspond to the first pillow part 11 and the second pillow part 12 respectively. The U-shaped elastic plate 5 has good elasticity, which can improve the support of the pillow and provide sufficient elasticity to achieve the same elastic effect as in the above embodiments.

[0041] Example 4: Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the thickness of the first pillow 11 in this embodiment is greater than the thickness of the second pillow 12. This design can provide different support for the user's head. When the user is lying on their back and their head is positioned relatively far back, their head can rest on the thinner second pillow 12. When the user is lying back and their head is positioned relatively far forward, their head can rest on the thicker first pillow 11, thereby adapting to different sitting postures of the user and providing different support for their head.

[0042] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
