Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to an adjustable length pillow. Background Technology
[0002] U-shaped pillows, as neck support tools, use their U-shaped structure to wrap around the neck and provide support for the cervical spine, often used to relieve fatigue caused by prolonged sitting (such as long-distance travel or office work). Current U-shaped pillows generally use a fixed-length U-shaped design, filled with flexible materials such as memory foam or sponge. However, their core drawback is that the length is not adjustable, leading to the following problems:
[0003] Users' neck sizes vary significantly (the neck circumference of adults ranges from approximately 30 to 45 centimeters), but the size of traditional U-shaped pillows is fixed. For users with smaller neck circumferences, the U-shaped pillow is too long to fit snugly, resulting in a lack of support; for users with larger neck circumferences, it may be too short, compressing the neck, affecting comfort, and even hindering blood circulation.
[0004] Therefore, existing U-shaped pillows need to be improved to solve the problem that they cannot adapt to the different neck sizes of different users, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is included only to enhance the understanding of the context of this disclosure, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0043] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an adjustable length pillow, including a flexible pillow body 1, an elastic band 2, and a limiting ball 3.
[0044] The flexible pillow body 1 includes a main filling material and a main fabric layer covering the main filling material. An elastic band 2 is installed at one end of the main fabric layer, and the elastic band 2 has at least two fasteners 201 arranged sequentially in a direction away from the flexible pillow body 1. A limiting ball 3 is installed at the other end of the main fabric layer and is used to engage with different fasteners 201, so that the flexible pillow body 1 surrounds and forms neck support rings 101 with different diameters.
[0045] The adjustable-length pillow provided in this embodiment works as follows:
[0046] (1) Adjustment preparation: The user wraps the flexible pillow body 1 around the neck and pulls the end with the limit ball 3 towards the elastic band 2 at the other end.
[0047] (2) Length adaptation: According to the neck size, insert the limiting ball 3 into the buckle 201 at different positions on the elastic band 2:
[0048] Specifically:
[0049] If the neck circumference is small: insert the limiting ball 3 into the buckle 201 near the main body of the pillow to shorten the circumference of the neck support ring 101, so that the flexible pillow body 1 fits the neck tightly.
[0050] If the neck circumference is large: insert the limiting ball 3 into the buckle 201 away from the main body of the pillow to extend the circumference of the neck support ring 101 and avoid the flexible main body of the pillow 1 from compressing the neck.
[0051] (3) Dynamic adjustment: The elastic band 2 provides elastic stretching during user activity to maintain fit; the mechanical locking of the limiting ball 3 and the buckle 201 ensures stability.
[0052] This invention, through the combined design of the elastic band 2 and the limiting ball 3, can dynamically adjust the circumference of the neck support ring 101 to adapt to the neck size of different users, effectively solving the fit problem caused by the fixed length of traditional U-shaped pillows. For users with smaller neck circumferences, the neck support ring 101 can be shortened to fit the neck tightly and avoid support failure; for users with larger neck circumferences, the neck support ring 101 can be lengthened to prevent neck compression and ensure blood circulation and comfort.
[0053] Meanwhile, the combination of the main filling material and the adjustable structure ensures the uniformity of cervical spine support, while the elastic band 2 can still provide moderate stretch after being fixed, taking into account both stability and wearing comfort, ultimately significantly improving the user experience.
[0054] In this embodiment, the elastic band 2 and / or the limiting ball 3 are detachable components; the detachable components are detachably connected to the flexible pillow body 1. By designing the elastic band 2 and / or the limiting ball 3 as detachable components, users can freely replace components of different lengths, elasticity, or shapes according to their needs to meet personalized adjustment requirements; at the same time, it is convenient to clean or replace damaged components separately, reducing maintenance costs and extending the product's service life.
[0055] Specifically, the flexible pillow body 1 is provided with a plurality of first fasteners, and the detachable part is provided with second fasteners that are fastened to the first fasteners. The detachable connection is achieved by using the fastening method of the first fasteners and the second fasteners, which is simple and quick to operate and can be completed without tools; the fastening structure is stable and reliable, ensuring that it will not fall off accidentally during use, while maintaining the pillow's simple appearance without exposed mechanical structure.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first fastener is a buckle, and the second fastener is a button. The buckle and button combination is inexpensive and durable. The button can be hidden inside the fabric layer to avoid skin irritation. The ring structure of the buckle facilitates multi-angle fastening, adapts to different force directions, and improves adjustment flexibility.
[0057] In some other embodiments, the first fastener is a male snap fastener, and the second fastener is a female snap fastener. The male and female snap fastener design provides stronger connection strength, suitable for scenarios requiring frequent disassembly and assembly; a crisp sound is produced when fastened to indicate that the installation is in place, and the surface of the snap fastener is flat, preventing injury to the user while sleeping.
[0058] Of course, the first and second fasteners can also be in other structural forms, and this utility model does not limit them.
[0059] In this embodiment, the interior of the main fabric layer is further provided with several spare parts 4, the spare parts 4 including the elastic band 2 and / or the limiting ball 3. Correspondingly, the end face of the main fabric layer is provided with a retrieval port 102 for the spare parts 4 to pass through. Further, the retrieval port 102 is provided with a zipper or Velcro assembly for closing the retrieval port 102.
[0060] The built-in spare part 4 design can cope with the sudden situation of parts being lost or damaged during travel or daily use, improving product reliability; the spare part 4 is stored inside the fabric layer to keep the appearance neat and avoid the trouble of carrying an extra accessory bag.
[0061] The retrieval port 102 is located on the end face, in a concealed position that does not affect the appearance of the pillow, and away from the neck contact area to avoid the edge of the retrieval port 102 rubbing against the skin. A zipper or Velcro assembly ensures the retrieval port 102 is sealed to prevent the spare part 4 from accidentally falling out.
[0062] In this embodiment, the flexible pillow body 1 has a plurality of shaped components 5 connected to one end of the limiting ball 3. For example, there are two shaped components 5, forming a swallowtail or fishtail shape. The swallowtail or fishtail shaped components 5 increase the product's interest and recognizability, meeting the aesthetic needs of young users. The shaped components 5 (such as swallowtail or fishtail) hang naturally in front of the user's chest, balancing the force on both sides of the pillow through gravity, effectively preventing the neck support ring 101 from deflecting during use.
[0063] Furthermore, the limiting ball 3 and each of the shaping components 5 include an accessory filler and an accessory fabric layer covering the accessory filler; wherein the main filler and the accessory filler are made of the same material, and the main fabric layer and the accessory fabric layer are made of the same material.
[0064] The limiting ball 3 and the shaping part 5 use the same filling material and fabric as the main body to ensure a consistent feel.
[0065] The limiting ball 3 and each of the shaped components 5 contain filling materials such as sponge or latex, thus providing a soft pressing feel. Users can squeeze the limiting ball 3 and each of the shaped components 5 like a squeeze to achieve a stress-relieving and therapeutic function. The squeeze-to-decompress function expands the product's usage scenarios, helping users relieve anxiety or travel fatigue, and achieving the dual effects of psychological healing and physical support.
[0066] In summary, the adjustable-length pillow provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0067] ① Personalized fit: The adjustable design of the buckle 201 of the elastic band 2 and the limiting ball 3 allows for flexible adjustment of the circumference of the neck brace 101, adapting to different users' neck circumference sizes and improving fit and comfort.
[0068] ② Dynamic stability: The elastic band 2 provides moderate stretching to maintain a close fit during user activity, while the mechanical locking of the limiting ball 3 and the buckle 201 ensures stability and prevents loosening or displacement.
[0069] ③ Modular maintenance: The design of detachable elastic band 2 and limit ball 3 makes it easy to clean or replace damaged parts individually, reducing maintenance costs and extending product life.
[0070] ④ Emergency backup: The main fabric layer has a built-in spare elastic band 2 and a limiting ball 3 to deal with sudden loss or damage and improve product reliability.
[0071] ⑤ Anti-rotation optimization: The swallowtail or fishtail shaped part 5 hangs down in front of the chest, using gravity to balance the force on the pillow, preventing the neck ring 101 from shifting or twisting, and maintaining a stable fit.
[0072] ⑥ Multifunctional expansion: The decorative part 5 also serves as decoration, warmth, or a gentle massage function, increasing the product's fun and practicality.
[0073] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
