Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of travel products technology, and in particular to a portable head and neck support device. Background Technology

[0002] Resting while traveling is a challenging issue. For example, long journeys by car, train, plane, or ship often require sitting without a sleeper berth. Whether dozing off, using a phone, or reading, the head is often hunched over, putting immense pressure on the cervical spine—up to 80 pounds—which can cause significant damage. While some devices have been invented to support the chin, such as the travel pillow with a chin support structure disclosed in Chinese invention patent application CN202310547370.6, which uses an attachment mechanism to engage with another leaf-shaped part, allowing the chin support strap to support the user's head at the chin when it extends to the leaf-shaped part to which it is attached. However, the device has the following problems: First, it needs to cooperate with an external mechanism (such as a seat) to support the chin, and cannot support the chin by itself and the body alone, so it is becoming less convenient to use; second, it only supports the chin with a single strap, which is not reliable and the chin is easy to slip off after resting on it; third, the structure is relatively complex, which affects its ease of use and carrying, and also increases the cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a portable head and neck support device that is simpler in structure, more rational in design, more convenient to carry and use, and provides more stable and reliable chin support.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a portable head and neck support device, comprising a support body made of non-rigid material, with connecting straps connected to both ends of the support body, the first end of the connecting strap being fixedly connected to the end face of the support body; a fixing structure is provided at the tail end of the connecting strap, and the connecting straps are connected and fixed to each other by the fixing structure after wrapping around the back of the neck; a support protrusion is provided on at least one side of the support body, and an abutment is formed on the other side of the support body opposite to the support protrusion, and when the support body is rotated so that the support protrusion abuts against the chin, the abutment abuts against the chest position in front of and below the neck.

[0005] Preferably, the support body adopts an approximately D-shaped or O-shaped structure, the support protrusion is provided on the protruding part of the support body, and the surface of the support protrusion is planar.

[0006] Furthermore, a fixing part is formed at the beginning of the connecting belt, and the fixing part is connected and fixed to the end face of the support body.

[0007] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the side of the arc-shaped part of the support body, which is adjacent to the support protrusion; the two sides of the groove are arc-shaped protrusions to form side protrusions, and the bottom surface of the groove is flat.

[0008] Preferably, the support body is made of boxed foam material or soft rubber, and a layer of cloth is wrapped around the surface of the support body.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing structure uses hooks, locks, clips, snaps, or Velcro that can interlock.

[0010] Alternatively, the fixing part can be connected to the side of the support body using buttons, buckles, or snaps to form a rotatable structure.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting strap can be made of fabric or leather, with the fixing part being a thickened section sewn to the beginning of the connecting strap. This flexible connecting strap allows the support body to be easily rotated to various desired angles, even with a fixed connection.

[0012] Preferably, the length of the support body is 12-20cm, the width is 8-12cm, the thickness is 5-10cm, and the length of the connecting strap is 25-40cm.

[0013] Furthermore, the fabric used to wrap the support body has an opening, and the opening is equipped with a zipper, Velcro, button or snap to close the opening.

[0014] This utility model employs an irregularly shaped support body with a supporting protrusion at its convex portion. This protrusion supports the chin, while the bottom surface of the support body rests against the chest, effectively sandwiching the support body between the chin and chest. This provides effective chin support when the head is lowered, improving comfort and protecting the cervical spine. Connecting straps are located at both ends of the support body, allowing the entire device to be hung directly around the neck. This eliminates the need for other devices (such as a seat) to secure the support body, making it more convenient to carry and use. It is ideal for providing a comfortable rest during travel, reducing fatigue. Furthermore, the simple structure of this utility model allows for easy production of adult versions suitable for adults and children's versions. Attached Figure Description

[0016] In the figure, 1 is the support body, 11 is the support protrusion, 12 is the groove, 13 is the side protrusion, 2 is the connecting belt, 21 is the belt tail, and 3 is the fixing part. Detailed Implementation

[0017] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4 The portable head and neck support device includes a support body 1 made of non-rigid material. Connecting straps 2 are connected to both ends of the support body 1. The first end of the connecting strap 2 is connected and fixed to the end face of the support body 1. A fixing structure is provided at the tail end of the connecting strap 2. After the connecting strap 2 is wrapped around the back of the neck, the two connecting straps 2 are connected and fixed to each other through the fixing structure, so that the entire device is suspended on the neck. A support protrusion 11 is provided on at least one side of the support body 1. The side opposite to the support protrusion 11 on the other side of the support body 1 forms an abutment. When the support body 1 is rotated so that the support protrusion 11 abuts against the chin, the abutment abuts against the chest position in front of and below the neck.

[0018] The support body 1 adopts an approximately D-shaped (or O-shaped) structure, and the support protrusion 11 is provided on the protruding part of the support body 1 so as to provide a greater support height; and the surface of the support protrusion 11 is flat so as to make it more comfortable when the chin rests on it.

[0019] A fixing part 3 is formed at the first end of the connecting belt 2. The fixing part 3 is connected and fixed to the end face of the support body 1, so that the support body 1 can rotate.

[0020] A groove 12 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped part of the support body 1, and the groove 12 is adjacent to the support protrusion 11; the two sides of the groove 12 are arc-shaped protrusions to form side protrusions 13, and the bottom surface of the groove 11 is flat, which can form a clearance.

[0021] The support body 1 is made of boxed foam material or soft rubber (such as TPR), and a layer of cloth is wrapped around its surface. Wrapping the support body 1 with cloth not only helps to keep it clean, but also makes it easy to design patterns, logos, and other content on the cloth.

[0022] The fixing structure can be a hook and loop that can be interlocked, or a lock, clip, snap, Velcro, or other components that can be easily fixed and unlocked (the fixing structure is not shown in the figure).

[0023] The fixing part 3 and the side of the supporting body 1 can be connected by buttons, buckles or snaps to form a rotatable structure.

[0024] The connecting strap 2 is made of fabric or leather, and the fixing part 3 is a thickened part sewn to the beginning of the connecting strap to increase the structural strength of the fixing part. By connecting the support body 1 with the flexible connecting strap 2, even with a fixed connection, the support body 1 can be easily rotated to various required angles.

[0025] The length of the support body 1 is 12-20cm, for example, 16cm; the width is 8-12cm, for example, 10cm; the thickness is 5-10cm, for example, 8cm; and the length of the connecting strap is 25-40cm, for example, 30cm. By controlling the size, it can be easily made into adult or children's sizes, and the patterns can also be designed differently for adult and children's sizes; for example, cartoon patterns can be designed on the children's size.

[0026] The fabric used to wrap the support body 1 has an opening, which is closed with a zipper, Velcro, button, or snap. This allows for easy removal or insertion of the support body 1 after opening, and the fabric is easy to wash after removing the support body 1.

[0027] In use, first wrap the connecting strap 2 around the back of the neck, adjust it to a suitable length, and then fix it. At this time, the support body 1 will naturally hang in front of the neck. If the support function is not needed, the support body 1 can be rotated so that the groove 12 faces the chin, which can better provide space for chin movement and facilitate head lowering. If the support function is needed, the support body 1 can be rotated so that the support protrusion 11 faces the chin. Since the support protrusion 11 protrudes upward, it can better support the chin. When the head is slightly lowered, the chin will rest on the support protrusion 11, and at the same time, the abutment part on the other side of the support body 1 presses against the chest near the neck, thus providing support for the head and neck through the support body 1 and the chest.

[0028] In addition to using the support body 1 to support the chin, the support body 1 can also be rotated around the neck to the sides of the head or the back of the neck to support the head and neck from the side or back, making it convenient and flexible to use.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
