Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of neck and shoulder pillow technology, and in particular relates to a wraparound neck and shoulder pillow with enhanced support. Background Technology

[0002] Neck and shoulder pillows are commonly used to relieve head, neck, and shoulder fatigue in daily life, and are widely used in office breaks, commuting, and home relaxation. Their core requirement is to provide stable support by conforming to the physiological contours of the head, neck, and shoulders, thereby reducing muscle strain. Existing neck and shoulder pillows mostly use a single U-shaped wraparound structure or a simple headrest design. These designs have the following shortcomings: First, the support structure is simple, mostly only providing a single ring support around the neck, resulting in insufficient fit and support for the shoulders. During use, the weight of the head can easily cause the pillow to shift, affecting the support effect. Second, the thickness design is homogeneous, with the headrest and shoulder support having the same thickness. This fails to provide differentiated support based on the different needs of the head, neck, and shoulders. Insufficient thickness in the shoulders can easily cause the head to sink, putting continuous pressure on the neck muscles. Third, there is a lack of a dedicated structure adapted to the head's posture. There is no corresponding recessed design under the back of the head, causing pressure to concentrate on a single point on the neck when leaning against it. Prolonged use can easily lead to soreness and swelling, making it difficult to balance support and comfort.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes a wraparound neck and shoulder pillow with enhanced support. Through optimized structural design, it achieves all-round support for the head, neck and shoulders, improving support and comfort during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in the background art, this utility model provides a reinforced support wraparound neck and shoulder pillow, including a headrest and a shoulder support. The headrest includes a first headrest, a second headrest, and a headrest connecting part. The first headrest, the second headrest, and the headrest connecting part form a neck ring for wrapping around the neck. The headrest connecting part is located between the first headrest and the second headrest and is recessed downward to form a headrest resting part.

[0005] The shoulder support is located below the headrest and includes a first shoulder support, a second shoulder support, and a shoulder support connecting part. The first shoulder support, the second shoulder support, and the shoulder support connecting part form a shoulder and neck ring for wrapping around the neck. The shoulder support connecting part is located between the first shoulder support and the second shoulder support.

[0006] The maximum distance from the neck to the shoulder for the first headrest and the second headrest is the headrest thickness, and the maximum distance from the neck to the shoulder for the first shoulder rest and the second shoulder rest is the shoulder rest thickness. On the same cross-section, the shoulder rest thickness is greater than the headrest thickness.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a back support portion disposed on the shoulder support portion, the back support portion extending from the shoulder support portion toward the waist and back to form a back protrusion structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the farthest distance from the left to the right side of the back protrusion structure is the back span, and the farthest distance from the left to the right side of the neck collar is the neck span, with the back span being greater than the neck span.

[0009] Furthermore, a first groove is formed between the back support and the first shoulder rest, and a second groove is formed between the back support and the second shoulder rest.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an adjustment member disposed at the front end of the headrest or shoulder support, the adjustment member being used to adjust the tightness of the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an inner pillowcase and an outer pillowcase, with the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow placed in the inner pillowcase, which is made of breathable fabric, and the outer pillowcase is made of abrasion-resistant fabric.

[0012] Furthermore, the materials used to make the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow include any one of foam-based elastic materials, fiber-based elastic materials, gel-based elastic materials, and latex-based elastic materials.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a storage bag, in which the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow can be stored.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage bag is equipped with straps, hooks, or loops.

[0015] Furthermore, the first headrest and the second headrest extend forward from the back of the head and neck and gradually decrease in height, with the highest point being the highest point of the headrest and the lowest point being the lowest point of the headrest. On any cross section from the highest point of the headrest to the lowest point of the headrest, the thickness of the shoulder rest is 1.2 to 4 times the thickness of the headrest.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This application utilizes a headrest and shoulder rest, as well as a head and neck ring and shoulder ring, to comprehensively conform to the contours of the head, neck, and shoulders, effectively preventing the neck pillow from shifting during use. The differentiated design, with the shoulder rest being thicker than the headrest, addresses the needs of the shoulders requiring strong support and the head requiring a gentle fit, achieving a tiered support effect that distributes pressure on the head, neck, and shoulders, preventing concentrated stress in certain areas. The recessed design of the headrest connection creates a dedicated headrest support area, precisely fitting the lower contour of the back of the head, providing a stable support point, reducing the burden on neck muscles, and achieving comprehensive continuous support from the head, neck, and shoulders, effectively relieving muscle fatigue and adapting to various usage scenarios.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a reinforced support wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100, including a headrest 1 and a shoulder support 2.

[0043] The headrest 1 includes a first headrest 11, a second headrest 12, and a headrest connecting part 13. These components form a neck ring 14 that encircles the neck. The headrest connecting part 13 is located between the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12 and is recessed downwards, forming a headrest resting part 15. The first headrest 11, the second headrest 12, and the headrest connecting part 13 are integrally formed, or partially detachable, partially integrally formed, or completely detachable. When detachable, each part can be fixedly connected by sewing, bonding, pressing, or other methods. The first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the headrest connecting part 13, and together they form the neck ring 14. The inner diameter of the neck ring 14 is adapted to the circumference of the human neck, ensuring a snug fit without loosening. The headrest connecting part 13 is located between the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12, and is recessed downward to form the headrest support part 15. The concave arc of the headrest support part 15 is adapted to the lower contour of the back of the human head, providing a support fulcrum for the head.

[0044] The shoulder support 2 is located below the headrest 1 and includes a first shoulder support 21, a second shoulder support 22, and a shoulder support connecting part 23. The first shoulder support 21, the second shoulder support 22, and the shoulder support connecting part 23 form a shoulder and neck ring 24 for wrapping around the neck. The shoulder support connecting part 23 is located between the first shoulder support 21 and the second shoulder support 22. The shoulder support 2 is located directly below the headrest 1 and is detachably and fixedly connected to the headrest 1 or integrally formed. It includes the first shoulder support 21, the second shoulder support 22, and the shoulder support connecting part 23. The first shoulder support 21, the second shoulder support 22, and the shoulder support connecting part 23 are integrally formed, or partially detachable, partially integrally formed, or completely detachable. When each part is detachable, it can be fixedly connected by sewing, gluing, pressing, or other methods. The first shoulder support 21 and the second shoulder support 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shoulder support connecting part 23. The three together form a shoulder and neck ring 24 for wrapping around the neck. The inner diameter of the shoulder and neck ring 24 can be the same as or different from the inner diameter of the head and neck ring 14. For example, the inner diameter of the shoulder and neck ring 24 can be set to be smaller than the inner diameter of the head and neck ring 14 to obtain a curve design that conforms to the back of the human head, forming a double-layer wrapping structure. The shoulder support connecting part 23 is located between the first shoulder support 21 and the second shoulder support 22, and its outline fits the lower back of the human neck to avoid any part being suspended.

[0045] like Figure 6-7As shown, the farthest distance extended from the neck to the shoulder by the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12 is the headrest thickness A, and the farthest distance extended from the neck to the shoulder by the first shoulder rest 21 and the second shoulder rest 22 is the shoulder rest thickness B. On the same cross-section, the shoulder rest thickness B is greater than the headrest thickness A. The term "same cross-section" is defined as follows: the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12 extend forward from the back of the head and neck, gradually decreasing in height, with the highest point being the highest point 16 of the headrest and the lowest point being the lowest point 17 of the headrest. The same cross-section refers to any vertical cross-section transitioning from the highest point 16 to the lowest point 17 of the headrest, on which the shoulder rest thickness B is always greater than the headrest thickness A. For example, in... Figure 6 At the position shown, the cross-section is vertically cut from the highest point 16 of the first head support 11 and the second head support 12, at which point the shoulder support thickness B is greater than the head support thickness A; then the cross-section gradually transitions towards the lowest point 17 of the head support, for example, transitioning to... Figure 7 At the position shown, the shoulder support thickness B is still greater than the headrest thickness A; further transition towards the lowest point 17 of the headrest, until... Figure 8 At the indicated position, the cross-section passes through the lowest point 17 of the headrests of the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12. At this point, the shoulder support thickness B is still greater than the headrest thickness A. This design ensures that the shoulder support provides sufficient support performance, has a large support area, and evenly distributes pressure to all parts of the shoulder. It should be noted that as the first headrest 11 and the second headrest 12 extend from the highest point 16 of the headrest behind the head and neck to the lowest point of the headrest rest 15, the height gradually decreases. Here, it is also possible for the shoulder support thickness B to be greater than or equal to the headrest thickness A.

[0046] Preferred, such as Figure 9 As shown, it also includes an adjustment component 6 located at the front end of the headrest 1 or shoulder support 2. The adjustment component 6 is used to adjust the tightness of the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100. By adjusting the tightness to adapt to different neck circumferences, the support and fit are further improved. The adjustment component 6 can take the form of Velcro adjustment buckles, snap-on adjustment straps, elastic bands, threaded adjustment knobs, etc., as long as it can realize the adjustment of the tightness of the head and neck ring 14 and the shoulder and neck ring 24.

[0047] Preferably, the pillowcase also includes an inner pillowcase and an outer pillowcase. The wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100 is placed in the inner pillowcase, which directly wraps around the main body of the neck pillow, including the headrest 1 and the shoulder support 2. The outer pillowcase is an outer wrapping structure. The inner pillowcase uses breathable fabric and cooling antibacterial materials, such as pure cotton, modal, breathable mesh, bamboo fiber, etc.; the outer pillowcase uses abrasion-resistant fabric, such as polyester fiber, nylon, abrasion-resistant cotton blend, etc. Both the inner and outer pillowcases can be equipped with opening and closing structures such as zippers or Velcro.

[0048] Preferably, the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100 is composed of any one or more combinations of foam elastic materials, fiber elastic materials, gel elastic materials, and latex elastic materials. Foam elastic materials may include, for example, slow-rebound polyurethane foam, fast-rebound polyurethane foam, molded foam, etc.; fiber elastic materials may include, for example, hollow fiber, PP cotton, down, feather blended fibers, spandex blends, etc.; gel elastic materials may include, for example, silicone gel, polyurethane gel, etc.; and latex elastic materials may include, for example, natural latex, synthetic latex, etc.

[0049] The method of using this application is as follows:

[0050] like Figure 9-11 As shown, the shoulder and neck ring 24 is slipped under the neck, with the first shoulder support 21 and the second shoulder support 22 fitting against the upper edges of the left and right shoulders respectively; the head and neck ring 14 naturally wraps around the upper part of the neck, with the headrest 15 aligned with the lower part of the back of the head, conforming to the concave contour to form a head support fulcrum. When the adjustment piece 6 is configured, the head and neck ring 14 or the shoulder and neck ring 24 can be tightened or loosened using the adjustment piece 6 until it fits the neck without looseness or pressure.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment is based on other embodiments, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it also includes a back support 3 located on the shoulder support 2. The back support 3 extends from the shoulder support 2 towards the lower back to form a raised back structure 31. By extending the raised structure towards the lower back, the support range is expanded, achieving continuous support from the head, neck, and shoulders to the lower back. The back support 3 and the shoulder support 2 can be configured as an integrated design, a separate fixed connection, or a separate detachable connection. The protruding length and the width of the extension on both sides of the back support 3 are not limited. Its core function is to form an auxiliary support surface for the back. Combined with the arc design of the inner side of the neck pillow that conforms to the physiological curve of the back of the neck, it ensures that the cervical spine maintains a natural physiological state and avoids the compression or twisting problems caused by the poor curve fit of traditional products.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the farthest distance from the left to the right side of the back protrusion structure 31 is defined as the back span C, and the farthest distance from the left to the right side of the neck ring 24 is defined as the neck span D. In order to obtain better support performance and load distribution effect, the preferred solution is to configure the back span C to be greater than the neck span D.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, a first groove 4 is formed between the back support 3 and the first shoulder rest 21, and a second groove 5 is formed between the back support 3 and the second shoulder rest 22. The first groove 4 and the second groove 5 are located on the left and right sides of the back support 3, respectively, corresponding one-to-one with the first shoulder rest 21 and the second shoulder rest 22, forming a symmetrical structure that adapts to the symmetrical distribution of the left and right scapulae of the human body. Furthermore, the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 provide arm placement positions when in a prone position, for example, when the user needs to lie prone... Figure 12 As shown, the head can be placed on the headrest 1, and the arms can pass through the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 in sequence, which not only conforms to the normal sleeping posture of the human body when lying face down, but also does not put too much pressure on the arms and head.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] This embodiment, based on other embodiments, also includes a storage bag, in which the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100 can be stored. The material of the storage bag is not limited; for example, it can be nylon, canvas, waterproof fabric, etc., and the opening and closing method can be such as zipper, drawstring, snap, Velcro, etc.

[0057] In particular, when the wraparound neck and shoulder pillow 100 is made of elastic material, it can be squeezed and put into a storage bag to obtain a smaller footprint, making it convenient for users to carry and use.

[0058] Furthermore, the storage bag is equipped with straps, hooks, or loops. These attachment and binding features enhance the bag's portability after storage. For example, the bag can be secured to backpacks, seats, luggage handles, or other devices using straps, hooks, or loops, addressing the pain point of inconvenience when stored.

[0059] Example 4

[0060] This embodiment further refines the ratio range of shoulder support thickness B and headrest thickness A based on other embodiments. On any cross-section transitioning from the highest point 16 of the headrest to the lowest point 17 of the headrest, the shoulder support thickness B is 1.2 to 4 times the headrest thickness A. 1.2 times represents the minimum support difference, ensuring reinforced support for the shoulders; 4 times represents the maximum limit, preventing excessive thickness from causing bulkiness, thus balancing support and ease of use.
