Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of U-shaped pillows, specifically a portable multifunctional U-shaped pillow. Background Technology

[0002] The U-shaped pillow, meticulously designed based on the ergonomic principles of the human neck, perfectly matches the physiological curve of the neck with its unique "U" shape. In a relaxed sitting position, the cervical spine struggles to provide comprehensive and robust support for the head, easily leading to neck fatigue and discomfort. The U-shaped pillow aims to fill this gap. When used, it wraps around the neck, with the back of the U-shape providing firm support for the back of the neck, while the sides also support the sides of the neck and cheeks. This effectively distributes external pressure on the neck and shoulders, relieving fatigue caused by the head being unsupported, playing a crucial protective role for the cervical spine, and greatly enhancing the relaxation experience.

[0003] Patent searches revealed that the multifunctional portable U-shaped pillow disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 2108486 U consists of an upper support layer, a middle support layer, a lower support layer, a storage bag, a suction cup, and connection points. The middle support layer, located between the upper and lower support layers, possesses greater hardness and strength than the upper and lower layers, ensuring a slim and lightweight overall structure while achieving good support performance, portability, and practical value.

[0004] However, a closer analysis of existing technologies reveals significant shortcomings in the functional dimensions of these U-shaped pillows. From an ergonomic and user perspective, their functionality is too limited. During long journeys, people need not only neck support but also head support when resting, requiring a suitable height and sufficient contact area to ensure quality sleep. Furthermore, prolonged sitting leads to persistent tension in the lower back muscles, causing soreness; a reliable lumbar support becomes essential for relieving this pressure. Relying solely on existing U-shaped pillows forces users to carry multiple products with varying functions, significantly increasing travel weight, consuming valuable luggage space, and causing considerable inconvenience in daily life and travel. In an office environment, the single-function U-shaped pillow cannot provide the comprehensive and comfortable head support that a regular pillow offers during lunch breaks, compromising the quality of the nap and negatively impacting afternoon work efficiency. Therefore, developing a more versatile U-shaped pillow that fully meets the support needs of multiple body parts in different scenarios is of urgent practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable multifunctional U-shaped pillow, which solves the problems of single function, inability to meet people's diverse needs, inability to effectively relieve lumbar pressure, increased burden of travel, and large luggage space, causing many inconveniences to people's lives. In office settings, using a single U-shaped pillow during lunch break cannot provide the same comfortable head support as a regular pillow, resulting in poor quality of lunch break and affecting afternoon work efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a portable multifunctional U-shaped pillow, including a pillow body that conforms to the curve of the human body when deformed by pressure and returns to its original shape after the pressure is released. A connecting component is installed on the pillow body to convert the pillow body between a flat shape, a folded shape and a U-shaped shape.

[0007] In its initial state, the pillow is a flat, planar structure used to support the lower back.

[0008] By folding the U-shaped pillow to a suitable thickness and shape and placing it behind the lower back, the properties of the polyurethane memory foam allow it to conform well to the curve of the waist, providing effective lumbar support. When used as a lumbar support, the folding method and thickness can be adjusted according to the user's sitting posture and the stress on their lower back to achieve the best support effect.

[0009] When the pillow is folded in half, it is used to support the human head.

[0010] With the above solution, when it is needed to be used as a regular pillow, the connecting structure at both ends is opened, and the U-shaped pillow is unfolded. Its length and width are used to meet the needs of head support and provide a comfortable sleep experience.

[0011] When the pillow body is converted into a "U" shape, it is used to fit the human neck.

[0012] With the above method, you can quickly fix the U-shaped pillow shape by simply folding the two ends together and pulling up the zipper of the coat. The height and curvature of the folded U-shape precisely match the physiological curve of the neck, effectively reducing the burden on the neck muscles.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting component includes a zipper and a cover that works in conjunction with the zipper. The zipper is sewn onto the edge of the pillow body, and the cover is zipperably connected to the pillow body to connect the two ends of the pillow body together.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting parts are located at both ends of the pillow body, the length of the zipper is adapted to the width of both ends of the pillow body, and the outer cover is used to tightly fit the outer contour of the pillow body after connecting the two ends of the pillow body.

[0015] Preferably, when the pillow is in a U-shaped state, it is folded along a preset fold line, and the thickness after folding is 5 cm to 10 cm. Its shape is flat and the two sides are fitted together. The properties of polyurethane memory foam are used to fit the waist curve well and provide effective lumbar support.

[0016] Preferably, the pillow body is made of Coolermax's non-feeling slow rebound memory foam material, and some breathable cut-out channels are designed inside the memory foam.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This portable multi-functional U-shaped pillow, through its unique structural design, conforms to ergonomics and combines the functions of a U-shaped pillow, a regular pillow, and a lumbar support. It meets the diverse needs of users in different scenarios such as travel, office, and home.

At the same time, it can meet the head support needs when used as a regular pillow to avoid sleep problems. When used as a lumbar support, it can be flexibly folded to adapt to different waist curves, realizing multiple uses.

[0019] 2. This portable multi-functional U-shaped pillow uses Coolermax's non-sticky slow-rebound memory foam, which is formed through CNC cutting technology. This allows for high-precision cutting of the memory foam, resulting in neat and smooth cuts with soft, conforming, and pressure-relieving properties. The cutting method of the memory foam is directly related to the multi-functional use of the product. During the cutting process, high-precision displacement sensors and positioning devices ensure that the memory foam is accurately positioned on the cutting platform, achieving an ideal folding effect through accurate dimensions.

[0020] 3. This portable multi-functional U-shaped pillow is highly adaptable. The product's size, structure, and functional design fully consider the needs of different groups of people. Whether adults or teenagers, whether traveling, working, or at home, they can find a suitable way to use it. It meets the diverse needs of users in different scenarios, reduces the number of items users need to carry, and can be folded and unfolded according to usage needs. It is convenient to carry and does not take up too much space, making it suitable for various scenarios such as travel and office. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Among them, 1. Pillow body; 2. Guide channel; 301. Connecting component; 301. Outer cover; 302. Zipper. Detailed Implementation

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a portable multifunctional U-shaped pillow includes a pillow body 1. The pillow body 1 is made of Coolex non-rebound memory foam material, and some breathable cut-out drainage channels 2 are designed inside the memory foam. When the pillow body 1 is deformed under pressure, it conforms to the curve of the human body, and returns to its original shape after the pressure is released. A connecting component 3 is installed on the pillow body 1. The connecting component 3 includes a zipper 302 and a cover 301 that works with the zipper 302. The zipper 302 is sewn to the edge of the pillow body, and the cover 301 is connected to the pillow body in an openable and closable manner through the zipper 302, which is used to connect the two ends of the pillow body together. The connecting component 3 is located at both ends of the pillow body 1, and the length of its zipper 302 is the same as that of the pillow body. The width of both ends is adapted, and the outer cover 301, after connecting the two ends of the pillow body 1, is used to closely fit the outer contour of the pillow body 1. While ensuring wearing comfort, it enhances the stability of the overall structure of the U-shaped pillow and prevents the two ends from separating or shaking during use. The hidden zipper 302 is used, which makes the appearance simpler and smoother. It does not have the obvious lines and zipper pull of ordinary zipper 302, which can better reflect the overall design and exquisiteness. It reduces direct contact with the outside world, is not easy to be worn, and can prevent the zipper teeth from scratching the user's neck. It realizes the wearing function of the U-shaped pillow and is used to convert the pillow body 1 between a flat shape, a folded shape, and a U-shaped shape.

[0029] In its initial state, pillow 1 is a flat, planar structure designed to support the lower back. Folding the U-shaped pillow to a suitable thickness and shape and placing it behind the lower back allows the polyurethane memory foam to conform well to the lumbar curve, providing effective lumbar support. When used as a lumbar support, the folding method and thickness can be adjusted according to the user's posture and lumbar stress to achieve optimal support.

[0030] When the pillow body 1 is folded in half, it is used to support the human head. When the U-shaped pillow is unfolded, its length and width are used to meet the needs of head support. The connecting structure at both ends is opened to provide a comfortable sleeping experience.

[0031] When the pillow body 1 is transformed into a "U" shape, it is used to fit the neck. When the pillow body 1 is in the U-shape, both ends are folded up and pulled up by the zipper 302 of the outer cover 301. When the pillow body 1 is in the U-shape, it is folded along the preset fold line. After folding, the thickness is 5 cm to 10 cm. Its shape is flat and the two sides are fitted together, which can effectively reduce the volume of the U-shaped pillow, making it easy to store and carry. At the same time, it maintains a certain structural strength to prevent deformation due to external pressure during storage. The properties of polyurethane memory foam are used to fit the waist curve well and provide effective lumbar support.

[0032] When in use, to fold it into a U-shape, simply fold both ends and pull up the zipper 302 on the cover to quickly fix it into a U-shaped pillow. When used as a regular pillow, open the connecting structure at both ends to unfold the U-shaped pillow. Its length and width are designed to meet the head support needs, providing a comfortable sleeping experience. When used as a lumbar support, fold the U-shaped pillow to a suitable thickness and shape and place it behind the lower back. The properties of the polyurethane memory foam allow it to conform well to the lumbar curve, providing effective lumbar support. When used as a lumbar support, the folding method and thickness can be adjusted according to the user's sitting posture and lumbar stress. By simply folding to adjust to a suitable thickness and shape, users can fold the long strip in half to adjust the thickness according to their actual lumbar needs, adapting to the lumbar curve of different users to achieve the best support effect.

[0033] The U-shaped pillow uses Coolex's seamless slow-rebound memory foam material, which reacts to body temperature and pressure. It slowly deforms under pressure to conform to the body's curves and gradually returns to its original shape after pressure is released. Its density is carefully selected to ensure good support while maintaining a degree of softness, allowing users to feel comfortable while receiving effective support. This material also boasts excellent durability, resisting deformation and damage, and can withstand prolonged use and various folding and unfolding operations. Breathable channels are designed inside the memory foam, using a special cutting process to increase breathability and create airflow paths, improving the product's breathability while maintaining good elasticity to withstand prolonged use and various folding and unfolding operations.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
