Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pillow technology, and in particular to a nap pillow. Background Technology
[0002] For people who work long hours, both physical and mental exertion are significant. A midday nap can not only make up for lost sleep but also effectively improve work efficiency. However, due to the limitations of rest time and space, most people can only nap while leaning over their desks or backing up in their chairs. Some office chairs do not have headrests, which makes it difficult to support the head when leaning back. This is where a nap pillow comes in handy to improve the comfort of a midday nap.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN217547622U discloses an adjustable nap pillow, including a pillow body and an adjustment part. The pillow body includes a support part disposed at the front of the pillow body; the adjustment part is disposed at the bottom of the pillow body and is rotatably connected to the pillow body. The adjustment part can rotate relative to the pillow body between a first position and a second position. When the adjustment part is configured in the first position, it is located at the bottom end of the pillow body, and when it is configured in the second position, it is located at the rear of the pillow body. However, the backrest of office chairs is usually quite thick, which makes the opening of the hanging groove of the nap pillow relatively large. This makes the nap pillow not secure enough when suspended on the office chair, especially in office chairs with a rotating function, where the nap pillow is prone to falling off when the chair is rotated. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this application is to provide a nap pillow that can be securely installed with an office chair.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0021] Example 1: This embodiment provides a nap pillow, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a pillow body 1 and a suspension part 2. The pillow body 1 mainly serves to support the head and neck of the person; the suspension part 2 is used to cooperate with the chair back.
[0022] The pillow body 1 includes a support part 11, which is disposed at the front of the pillow body 1 and is used to support the head and neck of a person. A suspension part 2 is disposed at the rear of the pillow body 1. The suspension part 2 has a protrusion 21 facing the pillow body 1. A suspension groove 22 is formed between the suspension part 2 and the pillow body 1, and the protrusion 21 is located in the suspension groove 22. The suspension groove 22 is used to cooperate with the chair back. The suspension groove 22 can be inserted into the chair back, so that the nap pillow is suspended on the chair, which is convenient for the user to sleep on their back in the chair, reducing the negative effects of spinal deformation and gas caused by the prone sleeping posture. The design of the protrusion 21 can reduce the opening size of at least part of the suspension groove 22, so that the suspension groove 22 can be inserted into the back of the chair. The protrusion 21 can fit against the back of the chair, and the protrusion 21 cooperates with the rear of the pillow body 1 to lock the back of the chair, which can prevent the nap pillow from slipping off the back of the chair.
[0023] There are several ways to connect the suspension part 2 to the pillow body 1; it can be a detachable connection or a one-piece molding. When the suspension part 2 and the pillow body 1 are molded as a single piece, manufacturing steps are reduced, costs are lowered, and the durability of the nap pillow is increased. When the suspension part 2 and the pillow body 1 are detachable, the suspension part 2 can be separated from the pillow body 1 when the user wants to sleep face down, allowing the back of the pillow body 1 to contact the tabletop. This further reduces the support angle when sleeping face down, and the contact between the nap pillow and the tabletop is more stable.
[0024] In this embodiment, the top of the pillow body 1 is connected to the top of the suspension part 2; the pillow body 1 and the suspension part 2 are integrally formed; the cross-section of the suspension groove 22 is U-shaped; the nap pillow is filled with memory foam to reduce deformation caused by long-term use, increase the softness of the nap pillow, and make naps more comfortable.
[0025] To ensure reliable installation with the chair back, the lowest point of the boss 21 is not higher than the lowest point of the suspension part 2; the surface of the boss 21 facing the pillow body 1 is a plane. When the chair rotates, the nap pillow will deflect or move outward due to centrifugal force. If the outward deflection angle or movement distance is too large, the nap pillow is prone to falling. During this process, the bottom of the suspension part 2 has the largest deflection range. The nap pillow mainly relies on the bottom of the pillow body 1 and the bottom of the suspension part 2 contacting the chair back to prevent it from falling. When the bottom of the suspension part 2 detaches from the chair back, the nap pillow loses its restraint and is prone to falling. The protrusion 21 is located at the lowest point of the suspension part 2, which can ensure that the bottom of the suspension part 2 is in contact with the chair back, reduce the outward deflection angle of the nap pillow, and make it difficult for the suspension part 2 to detach. In addition, the bottom of the suspension part 2 has the largest opening distance, which makes it easy for the bottom of the protrusion 21 to pass through the chair back and for the protrusion 21 to be inserted into the chair back. The top surface of the protrusion 21 is flat, which is simple to process, and the suspension part 2 provides good support for the pillow body 1 when the user lies down to use the nap pillow.
[0026] To ensure reliable installation with the chair back, the minimum distance A between the protrusion 21 and the pillow body 1 is 1.5cm-4cm. This minimum distance is closely related to the reliability of the nap pillow's suspension. If the distance is too large, the nap pillow will be difficult to securely attach to the chair back; if the distance is too small, it will be difficult to insert the nap pillow into the chair back, thus reducing the user experience. A minimum distance A between the protrusion 21 and the pillow body 1, within the range of 1.5cm-4cm, ensures that the distance is neither too large for reliable suspension of the nap pillow on the chair back, nor too small for easy insertion.
[0027] To ensure reliable installation with the chair back, the maximum opening width B of the upper part of the suspension groove 22 is less than or equal to 7cm. The top of the chair back is usually the frame area, which is thicker than the inner side of the chair back. The upper part of the suspension groove 22 is used to accommodate the top of the chair back. If the opening of the upper part of the suspension groove 22 is too small, the top of the chair back will get stuck in the suspension groove 22. In particular, the thickness of the top of the chair back varies from office chair to office chair, which will cause the nap pillow to be suspended at various angles on the chair back or the suspension groove 22 to not be fully inserted. This will result in poor fit between the nap pillow and the user's head and neck, and discomfort. If the opening of the upper part of the suspension groove 22 is too large, the nap pillow will wobble easily when stuck in the top of the chair back, which will also make the user uncomfortable. Therefore, with the maximum opening width B of the upper part of the suspension groove 22 not exceeding 7cm, the upper opening of the suspension groove 22 will not be too large. At the same time, the opening width of the suspension groove 22 at the boss 21 is the smallest, and the opening width of the top part of the suspension groove 22 is greater than the opening width of the suspension groove 22 at the boss 21. This ensures that the upper opening of the suspension groove 22 is not too small and that the suspension of the nap pillow is reliable.
[0028] To ensure reliable installation with the chair back, the angle C between the top surface of the protrusion 21 and the back of the pillow body 1 is 1.5°-4°, meaning the distance between the top surface of the protrusion 21 and the back of the pillow body 1 gradually increases from bottom to top. This angle C design ensures better adhesion between the protrusion 21 and the pillow body 1 after the nap pillow is suspended, making it less likely to fall off. Within the 1.5°-4° range of angle C, the requirement for a close fit between the protrusion 21 and the pillow body 1 relative to the chair back is met, without causing excessive changes in the distance between them.
[0029] When the nap pillow is inserted into the chair back, if the thickness of the nap pillow is the same from top to bottom, and if its overall thickness is large, then when the user leans back, there will be a gap between the user's back and the bottom of the nap pillow and the chair back, which will cause the back to be suspended and uncomfortable after a long time. If its overall thickness is small, then when the user leans back, the support for the user's neck is small and the compressible distance is small, which is not comfortable.
[0030] To improve the comfort of the pillow, the thickness of the pillow body 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom, making the upper part of the pillow body 1 thicker to provide good support for the neck, and the lower part of the pillow body 1 thinner to make the transition between the pillow body 1 and the chair back more natural, so that the user will not feel abrupt when leaning against it, and ensuring that there is no unsupported space between the back and neck.
[0031] To improve the fit with the head, the support part 11 includes a head area 111, which is recessed downward into an arc surface to better fit the user's head.
[0032] Specifically, the head area 111 is located at the top center of the pillow body 1, which can avoid imbalance caused by the body's normal physiological activities during naps and increase the stability of naps.
[0033] To enhance neck protection, the support 11 includes a neck area 112, with protrusions 1121 on both sides of the neck area 112. The neck area 112 is used for the user's neck to lean against, and the protrusions 1121 on both sides can effectively wrap around the cervical spine, maintaining the cervical spine in a neutral position during naps and preventing conditions such as stiff neck.
[0034] Specifically, the neck area 112 is located in the center of the pillow body 1, which can avoid imbalance caused by the body's normal physiological activities during naps and increase the stability of naps.
[0035] To ensure reliable suspension of the nap pillow, the length of the pillow body 1 is greater than the length of the suspension part 2, and the width of the pillow body 1 is the same as the width of the suspension part 2. The weight of the pillow body 1 is greater, which means that the center of gravity is located on the pillow body 1. In contrast, the back of a typical chair is tilted backward. If the center of gravity is located on the suspension part 2, the nap pillow is more likely to fall backward. With the center of gravity on the pillow body 1, it is less likely to fall.
[0036] To ensure reliable suspension of the nap pillow, the width of the protrusion 21 is the same as the width of the suspension part 2. The larger the width of the protrusion 21, the larger the contact area with the chair back, which makes the nap pillow more securely suspended and reduces the risk of falling.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
