Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing, specifically to an inflatable neck pillow and clothing. Background Technology
[0002] With societal development, people spend more time commuting and outdoors, leading to more time spent resting in a seated position. Prolonged sitting can cause neck discomfort, and carrying a pillow is inconvenient. Current clothing uses inflatable neck pillows embedded in the upper garment to support the neck when the user is resting in a seated position. However, these inflatable neck pillows in existing clothing have a simple shape, typically a "U" shape. While this structure can provide neck support, the support effect is poor, and it also restricts neck movement, leading to neck discomfort after prolonged wear.
[0003] Current inflatable neck pillows for clothing are fixed to the garment for easy portability. While this method makes the inflatable neck pillow convenient to carry, it also limits the type of inflatable neck pillow for each garment to only one type, making it impossible to change the inflatable neck pillow to meet the user's different habits and usage scenarios. When users go out, they wear various clothing depending on the usage scenario, such as down jackets, jackets, and hoodies. Equipping each type of clothing with an inflatable neck pillow would increase the weight of their travel luggage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the aforementioned defects or problems in the prior art and to provide an inflatable neck pillow and clothing that provides better neck support and is replaceable.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] An inflatable neck pillow includes a main body and folding portions connected to the main body and located on the left and right sides of the main body; the main body is provided with a first air chamber corresponding to the back of the neck; the folding portions are adapted to fold relative to the main body to support the side of the head, and the folding portions are provided with a second air chamber, the second air chamber being in communication with the first air chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, the inflatable neck pillow includes a front piece and a rear piece connected to each other, with their outer edges connected and partially connected at the position where the main body connects to the folding part.
[0008] Furthermore, the front piece and the rear piece are bonded together at the position where the main body and the folded part are connected to form a first adhesive part, the first adhesive part extending along the vertical direction of the front piece and the rear piece and located at the middle of their vertical direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the folding portion is also provided with a third air chamber, the second air chamber is located between the first air chamber and the third air chamber, and the front piece and the rear piece are also partially connected at the position between the second air chamber and the third air chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the front and rear pieces are bonded together at the position where the second air chamber and the third air chamber are connected to form a second adhesive portion. The second adhesive portion extends along the vertical direction of the front and rear pieces and is located in the middle of their vertical direction. The upper part of the second adhesive portion is inclined away from the second air chamber to form an inclined portion, so that the inner surface of the third air chamber below the inclined portion can support the face when the head is tilted.
[0011] Furthermore, the inflatable neck pillow includes a warming section.
[0012] Furthermore, the insulating part is made of plush fabric.
[0013] Furthermore, the inflatable neck pillow includes a detachable connecting part.
[0014] A garment includes: a garment body, a collar, and an inflatable neck pillow as described in any one of the above, wherein the inflatable neck pillow is detachably connected to the collar.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the above solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the first technical solution, the inflatable neck pillow includes a main body and folding sections connected to the main body and located on the left and right sides of the main body. Existing inflatable neck pillows for clothing typically have a U-shaped structure. While this U-shaped pillow provides support for the neck, back, and sides, its shape is fixed and not adjustable. The U-shaped pillow, while providing support, also restricts neck movement, limiting its range of motion and causing discomfort with prolonged wear. Furthermore, the structure, shape, and size of the U-shaped pillow are standardized at the factory, meaning the same structure, shape, and size are used for users of different body types. This provides insufficient support for smaller users and a stronger feeling of restriction and discomfort for larger users. The inflatable neck pillow in this application does not use a U-shaped pillow but instead employs folding sections connected to the left and right sides of the main body. The main body is positioned to support the neck and back, while the folding sections fold relative to the main body to support the sides of the head. During use, the folding sections adjust the structure, shape, and size of the inflatable neck pillow to suit different body types, improving the user's wearing experience. Manufacturers have also reduced the production of inflatable neck pillows in various sizes to accommodate users of different body types, thus reducing production costs. Furthermore, when the neck needs to move, the folding section provides space for neck movement, preventing the neck from being confined to a single area and improving the user experience. The first and second air chambers of this application are connected; by simply installing an inflation / deflation component, both chambers can be inflated or deflated, further simplifying the user's inflation / deflation process and reducing production costs.
[0017] In the second technical solution, the outer edges of the front and rear pieces are connected, and they are also partially connected at the junction of the main body and the folding part. This connection is used for the folding part to fold. The main body and the folding part are integrally molded, which provides a high level of comfort when in contact with the human body and can also reduce production costs.
[0018] In the third technical solution, the front and rear pieces are bonded together at the connection point between the main body and the folding part to form a first bonding part. This first bonding part extends vertically along the front and rear pieces and is located in the middle of their vertical direction. The outer edges of the front and rear pieces are connected to form an integral air chamber. This is then bonded together at the connection point between the main body and the folding part, producing an inflatable neck pillow with a main body and a folding part, allowing the main body to have a first air chamber and the folding part to have a second air chamber. The folding part can fold along the first bonding part in the front-back direction to support both sides of the head. Bonding only in the middle, with the upper and lower parts not bonded, provides a channel for communication between different air chambers. The inflatable neck pillow can be inflated or deflated through a single inflation / deflation part. The upper and lower parts of the first bonding part are not bonded, allowing the upper and lower parts of the inflatable neck pillow to form continuous support for the first air chamber, the air chamber communication channel, and the second air chamber, providing better support for the human body. The main body, folding part, first air chamber, and second air chamber are molded in one piece, further reducing production costs.
[0019] In the fourth technical solution, the folding section also includes a third air chamber, with the second air chamber located between the first and third air chambers. The inflatable neck pillow has five air chambers arranged from left to right as follows: third air chamber, second air chamber, first air chamber, second air chamber, and third air chamber. The front and rear panels are partially connected between the second and third air chambers, allowing the second and third air chambers to fold relative to each other. This allows the individual air chambers of the inflatable neck pillow to fold relative to each other, providing better support for various parts of the body when the user rests.
[0020] In the fifth technical solution, the front and rear pieces are bonded together at the junction of the second and third air chambers to form a second bonding portion. This second bonding portion extends vertically along the front and rear pieces and is located at their midpoint. The front and rear pieces are bonded only at the midpoint between the second and third air chambers, forming a channel connecting the air chambers. Neither the upper nor lower parts of the first and second bonding portions are bonded to the outer edges of the front and rear pieces, allowing the upper and lower parts of the inflatable neck pillow to form continuous support for the first air chamber, the air chamber connecting channel, the second air chamber, the air chamber connecting channel, and the third air chamber, providing better support for the human body. The portion of the second bonding portion closer to the upper part slopes away from the second air chamber, causing the midpoint of the third air chamber to protrude towards the second air chamber, providing greater support when the third air chamber supports the face.
[0021] In the sixth technical solution, the inflatable neck pillow includes a heating element. When the temperature is low, the heating element can provide warmth to the body, improving the user experience.
[0022] In the seventh technical solution, the insulating part is made of plush fabric. Plush fabric is soft in texture, which can both improve the warmth of the human body and enhance the comfort against the skin.
[0023] In the eighth technical solution, the inflatable neck pillow includes a detachable connecting part, and the inflatable neck pillow can be detachably connected to clothing through the detachable connecting part.
[0024] In the ninth technical solution, the inflatable neck pillow can be detachably connected to clothing. The same type of clothing can be detachably connected to different inflatable neck pillows, allowing users to choose different pillows according to their preferences and the environment, thus enhancing the user experience. By using the same detachable connectors on different garments, the same inflatable neck pillow can be detachably connected to different clothes, allowing users to carry only one pillow to suit various outfits and reducing the weight of their luggage.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the inflatable neck pillow of Embodiment 1 is shown.
[0038] In this embodiment, the inflatable neck pillow uses a front and back sheet made of nylon material. The outer edges of the front and back sheets are bonded together to form an air chamber. The front and back sheets are bonded together outside their outer edges to form an adhesive portion. The inflatable neck pillow includes two first adhesive portions 6, which extend along the vertical direction of the front and back sheets and are located at the middle of their vertical direction. The aforementioned vertical direction can be perpendicular to the horizontal direction or form an angle with the horizontal direction. The portion of the front and back sheets between the two first adhesive portions 6 is the main body 1, and the two folded portions 2 are located on the left and right sides of the main body 1. The inflatable portions of the main body 1 formed by the front and back sheets create a first air chamber 3, and the inflatable portions of the two folded portions 2 form a second air chamber 4.
[0039] The first adhesive portion 6 is located in the middle of the front and rear pieces in the vertical direction, and it is only bonded in the middle. That is, the first adhesive portion 6 does not connect to the outer edges of the front and rear pieces, and it is not bonded to the upper or lower outer edges of the front and rear pieces. The unbonded portions of the first adhesive portion 6 with the upper and lower outer edges form a channel connecting the first air chamber 3 and the second air chamber 4. By providing an inflation / deflation unit 9 in either air chamber, the first air chamber 3 and the second air chamber 4 of the inflatable neck pillow can be inflated and deflated. In this embodiment, an inflation / deflation unit is provided in the second air chamber 4 to perform inflation / deflation operations on the first air chamber 3 and the second air chamber 4.
[0040] The nylon front and back panels are elastic, and the two folding parts 2 can be folded relative to the main body 1 in the front-back direction through the two first adhesive parts 6, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the inflatable neck pillow. In this embodiment, the first air chamber 3 of the main body 1 is set corresponding to the back of the neck, and the folding part 2 is adapted to be folded relative to the main body 1 to support the side of the head, that is, the second air chamber 4 supports the side of the head.
[0041] The upper part of the first adhesive part 6 is inclined away from the second air chamber 4, and the upper inner surface of the left and right sides of the first air chamber 3 protrudes towards the second air chamber, so as to provide more support for the head when the head leans back.
[0042] Inflatable neck pillows include a warming section, as the human body's warmth requirements vary depending on the external environment. When the outside temperature is low, an inflatable neck pillow with a warming section can provide warmth to the user's neck, improving the user experience. Preferably, the warming section is made of plush fabric, which is soft, does not cause discomfort upon contact with the skin, and is lightweight and easy to carry.
[0043] The inflatable neck pillow includes a detachable connecting component 10, which is a snap fastener, allowing the inflatable neck pillow to be detachably connected to clothing. This makes it convenient to carry and easy to disassemble and wash. In other embodiments, the inflatable neck pillow can be detachably connected to clothing using Velcro, zippers, or other similar methods.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the inflatable neck pillow of Embodiment 2 is shown.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment further includes two second adhesive portions 7, which are located at the middle of the inflatable neck pillow in the vertical direction and between the first adhesive portion 6 and the outer edges of the left and right sides of the inflatable neck pillow. The aforementioned vertical direction can be perpendicular to the horizontal direction, or it can form an angle with the perpendicular direction of the horizontal direction. The inflatable portions of the front and rear pieces between the second adhesive portions 7 and the outer edges of the left and right sides of the inflatable neck pillow form a third air chamber 5, and there are two third air chambers 5. The inflatable neck pillow, from left to right, consists of the third air chamber 5, the second air chamber 4, the first air chamber 3, the second air chamber 4, and the third air chamber 5.
[0047] Two second adhesive portions 7 are located at the middle of the inflatable neck pillow in the vertical direction, and are only bonded at the middle. That is, the second adhesive portions 7 do not connect to the outer edges of the front and rear pieces, and are not bonded to the upper and lower outer edges of the front and rear pieces. The unbonded portions of the second adhesive portions 7 with the upper and lower outer edges form a channel connecting the second air chamber 4 and the third air chamber 5. Because the first air chamber 3 and the second air chamber 4 are interconnected, and the first air chamber 3, the second air chamber 4, and the third air chamber 5 are interconnected, the inflation / deflation portion 9 can be provided in any of the air chambers to inflate and deflate the first air chamber 3, the second air chamber 4, and the third air chamber of the inflatable neck pillow. In this embodiment, an inflation / deflation portion is provided in the third air chamber 5 to perform inflation / deflation operations on the first air chamber 3, the second air chamber 4, and the third air chamber 5. Neither the first adhesive portion 6 nor the second adhesive portion 7 is bonded to the upper or lower parts of the inflatable neck pillow; they are only bonded at the middle. An air-connecting channel is formed in the upper and lower parts of the inflatable neck pillow. This channel allows the upper and lower parts of the inflatable neck pillow to be independent of the individual air chambers, forming a unified whole that provides better support for the human body.
[0048] The nylon front and back panels are elastic, and the two third air chambers 5 can be folded relative to the second air chamber 4 through the two second adhesive parts 7, further increasing the adjustment range of the inflatable neck pillow, providing more support methods, and supporting more parts. In this embodiment, the first air chamber 3 of the main body 1 is set corresponding to the back of the neck, and the folding part 2 is adapted to fold relative to the main body 1 to support the side of the head, that is, the second air chamber 4 supports the side of the head. The third air chamber 5 is adapted to fold relative to the second air chamber 4 to support the face.
[0049] The upper part of the second adhesive part 7, the part closer to the top, is inclined away from the second air chamber 4. The inner surface of the third air chamber 5 at the lower part of the beveled part 8 protrudes towards the second air chamber 4. When the head is tilted, the protruding part can better support the face.
[0050] In other embodiments, the lower portions of the first adhesive portion 6 and the second adhesive portion 7, which are away from the head, are inclined in a direction away from the second air chamber 4, and the inner surfaces of the middle portions of the first air chamber 3 and the third air chamber 5 protrude toward the second air chamber, which can provide more support for different parts of the head.
[0051] A garment includes a garment body, a collar, and an inflatable neck pillow, the inflatable neck pillow being detachably connected to the collar. Opposite detachable connecting parts 10, known as snap fasteners, are provided between the inflatable neck pillow and the collar; different inflatable neck pillows and collars are equipped with these corresponding snap fasteners. Different inflatable neck pillows can be interchanged with different garments via these corresponding snap fasteners. Users can change to different types of inflatable neck pillows according to their actual needs. Carrying one inflatable neck pillow when going out also allows for interchangeability with different garments, reducing the amount of luggage required. In other embodiments, the collar has a receiving cavity in which the inflatable neck pillow can be housed.
[0052] The description of the above specification and embodiments is used to explain the scope of protection of this application, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.
