Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pillow technology, specifically relating to a pillow with a deformable neck support. Background Technology
[0002] To provide good support for the neck, existing pillows generally use a material with higher firmness in the neck area compared to other parts of the pillow. However, this structure, in order to achieve firm support, often adopts a block-like shape, which has a relatively limited degree of deformation and is difficult to adapt to various sleeping pressure values. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing pillows with block-shaped neck supports that have a narrow range of applications by providing a pillow with a deformable neck support. A cavity is formed in the pillow core, and the neck support is located in the cavity. The neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part that connects the two. The area of the cavity between the upper and lower parts of the neck support forms a deformation space. When the upper and lower parts are pressed and move closer to each other, compressing the deformation space, the connecting part deforms.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pillow with a deformable neck support, the pillow with the deformable neck support comprising:
[0005] Pillow insert;
[0006] Neck brace;
[0007] The pillow core has a cavity, and the neck support is located in the cavity. The neck support is located at the edge of the pillow core in the width direction. The neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part connecting the two. The area of the cavity between the upper part and the lower part of the neck support forms a deformation space. When the upper part and the lower part are pressed and move closer to each other to compress the deformation space, the connecting part deforms.
[0008] The pillow of this utility model with a deformable neck support has a hollow core and a neck support located in the hollow cavity. The neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part connecting the two. The area between the upper and lower parts of the hollow cavity forms a deformation space. When the upper and lower parts are pressed and move closer to each other to compress the deformation space, the connecting part deforms. Thus, the neck support can deform to different degrees under different pillow pressures, making it more widely applicable.
[0009] As an improvement, the connecting part is deformed into bending deformation or compression deformation.
[0010] As an improvement, the connecting part is located at one point on the same side of the upper and lower parts, while the other side of the upper and lower parts is an opening, and the neck support body is C-shaped or U-shaped.
[0011] Alternatively, there are two connecting parts, located on both sides of the upper and lower parts respectively, and the neck support is ring-shaped.
[0012] As an improvement, the neck support is made harder than the pillow core.
[0013] As an improvement, the pillow core is integrally molded, and the neck support body is wrapped around the pillow core during the molding process. The neck support body and / or the pillow core have process holes.
[0014] As an improvement, the pillow core consists of two assembled parts, upper and lower, both of which have grooves that form a cavity.
[0015] Alternatively, the pillow core can be molded as a single piece, with its cavity connected to the outside, and the neck support inserted into the cavity.
[0016] As an improvement, the pillow also includes a face support located in the pillow core.
[0017] As an improvement, the face support body is lower in the middle and higher at both ends; and / or,
[0018] The upper part of the face support and neck support is integrated into one piece; and / or,
[0019] The middle part of the face support protrudes outward.
[0020] As an improvement, the sides of the pillow core are designed to form ventilation channels that connect with the cavity.
[0021] As an improvement, the upper part of the neck brace is lower in the middle and higher at both ends; and / or,
[0022] The pillow core is sunken in the fossa area, and the neck support extends forward.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a pillow with a deformable neck support are as follows: the pillow core has a cavity, the neck support is located in the cavity, the neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part connecting the two, the area of the cavity between the upper part and the lower part of the neck support forms a deformation space, when the upper part and the lower part are pressed and close to each other to compress the deformation space, the connecting part deforms, so that the neck support can deform to different degrees under different pillow pressure, and has a wider range of applications.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are explained and described below. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] See Figures 1 to 11 The pillow with a deformable neck support in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0040] Pillow insert;
[0041] Neck brace;
[0042] The pillow core has a cavity, and the neck support is located in the cavity. The neck support is located at the edge of the pillow core in the width direction. The neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part connecting the two. The area of the cavity between the upper part and the lower part of the neck support forms a deformation space. When the upper part and the lower part are pressed and move closer to each other to compress the deformation space, the connecting part deforms.
[0043] The pillow of this utility model with a deformable neck support has a hollow core and a neck support located in the hollow cavity. The neck support includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connecting part connecting the two. The area between the upper and lower parts of the hollow cavity forms a deformation space. When the upper and lower parts are pressed and move closer to each other to compress the deformation space, the connecting part deforms. Thus, the neck support can undergo greater and different degrees of deformation under different pillow pressures, making it more widely applicable.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pillow with a deformable neck support 2 according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes:
[0046] Pillow core 1;
[0047] Neck brace 2;
[0048] The pillow core 1 has a cavity 11, and the neck support 2 is located in the cavity 11. The neck support 2 is located at the edge of the pillow core 1 in the width direction. The neck support 2 includes an upper part 21, a lower part 22, and a connecting part 23 connecting the two. The area of the cavity 11 between the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 of the neck support 2 forms a deformation space 111. When the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 are pressed close to each other and squeeze the deformation space 111, the connecting part 23 deforms.
[0049] In this embodiment, the cross-section of cavity 11 is egg-shaped.
[0050] In this embodiment, the length of the neck support 2 is slightly less than the length of the pillow core 1. It adapts to adjust the height of the neck and shoulders during side sleeping by deforming under pressure. The neck support 2 is positioned slightly shorter than the pillow core 1 so that it is placed in the middle of the pillow core 1's length, with both ends covered by the material on either side of the pillow core 1. The neck support 2 is deformable under pressure, conforming to the physiological curves of the neck and shoulders. In the supine position, it conforms to the physiological curves of the neck and back of the head. In the side sleeping position, it conforms to and supports the chin and neck, reducing pressure on the shoulders during side sleeping.
[0051] In this embodiment, the connecting part 23 is deformed into a bending deformation.
[0052] In other embodiments, the deformation of the connecting portion 23 may also be a compression deformation.
[0053] In this embodiment, the connecting part 23 is located on the same side as the upper part 21 and the lower part 22. The other side of the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 is an opening, and the neck support 2 is roughly C-shaped. The upper part 21 of the neck support 2 is slightly larger than the lower part 22. The length of the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 are the same. The projected size of the upper part 21 along the width of the pillow is larger than the projected size of the lower part 22 in that direction. The neck support 2 is roughly C-shaped, and the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 are pressed close to each other. The opening provides space for deformation under pressure, improving the sensitivity of deformation under pressure. This allows the upper part 21 to move away from the connecting part 23 while being pressed down. The upper part 21 can match the height of the human neck through pressure displacement, and its convex curved support surface can always fit and support the curve of the human neck. The upper part 21 of the neck support 2 is slightly larger than the lower part 22, providing a larger curved support surface. When the opening faces the middle of the pillow core 1, the upper part 21 can extend to support the back of the head. When the opening is located at the edge of the pillow core 1, the upper part 21 can extend to support the neck and shoulder transition area. The neck support 2 is roughly C-shaped, which also allows the curved upper part 21 and the curved connecting part 23 to connect and transition smoothly, reducing the possibility of the user feeling a foreign object.
[0054] In other embodiments, the neck support 2 consists of a curved upper portion 21, a curved connecting portion 23, and a substantially horizontal lower portion 22. The lower portion 22 is substantially horizontal, which reduces the overall height of the neck support 2, making it easier to insert into the lower pillow core 1.
[0055] In other embodiments, the neck support 2 may also be U-shaped (with two bends).
[0056] In this embodiment, the opening of the neck support 2 faces the other edge of the pillow core 1, meaning that the connecting part 23 of the neck support 2 is closer to the edge than the opening. Because the connecting part 23 of the neck support 2 is closer to the edge than the opening, when the user lies down, the back of the head area will shift slightly away from the connecting part 23 due to pressure deformation, thereby providing better support and stretching for the neck and helping to alleviate problems such as straightening or reversal of the cervical spine's physiological curve.
[0057] In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 is integrally molded. During pillow manufacturing, a hollow tube and an air bladder can be added to the mold. The hollow tube secures the neck support 2, and during pillow core 1 molding, the air bladder is inflated to maintain the shape of the neck support 2 and prevent the pillow core 1 from filling the deformation space 111. After pillow core 1 molding, the air bladder is deflated, and the air bladder and hollow tube are removed. A processing hole 221 for the hollow tube to pass through is provided on the lower part 22 of the neck support 2. The processing hole 221 is pre-processed before pillow core 1 molding. The pillow core 1 has a process hole 13 formed after the hollow tube is removed. The process hole 13 is automatically formed after the hollow tube is removed. The process hole 13 is slightly larger than the processing hole 221 (the hollow tube has a step, and the step size matches the process hole 13 and processing hole 221). During pillow core 1 foaming and molding, it naturally spreads and wraps around the exposed surface of the neck support 2 that is not filled with air bladder, achieving a strong adhesive effect without the need for glue to bond the two together. Figure 1 In the diagram, the pillow core 1 is divided into two parts only to illustrate the cavity 11, and does not mean that the pillow core 1 is assembled from two parts.
[0058] In other embodiments, when the pillow core is integrally formed, the process holes may only appear on the neck support body 2. In this case, the neck support body 2 is supported by the mold, and the neck support body 2 has processing holes 221, so that the process holes 13 will not appear on the pillow core 1.
[0059] In other embodiments, when the pillow core 1 is integrally formed, the process holes may only appear on the pillow core 1. In this case, the position of the hollow tube corresponds to the opening of the neck support 2, and the neck support 2 is supported by the airbag.
[0060] In other embodiments, the pillow core 1 can be assembled from two parts, upper and lower. After the upper and lower parts of the pillow core 1 are processed, the neck support 2 is placed into the grooves of the upper and lower parts of the pillow core 1, and then the upper and lower parts of the pillow core 1 are bonded together with each other and with the neck support 2.
[0061] In other embodiments, the pillow core 1 and the neck support 2 are bonded together, allowing the pillow core 1 to deform in accordance with the neck support 2. In this case, the pillow core 1 can be made of a sponge material with high tensile strength.
[0062] In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 has a ventilation channel 12, which includes multiple ventilation holes located on the two end sidewalls along the length of the cavity 11. The neck support 2 is completely enclosed by the pillow core 1 (although ventilation holes are provided). The ventilation holes can be obtained directly during the molding of the pillow core 1, or they can be obtained separately after the pillow core 1 is molded.
[0063] In this embodiment, the neck support 2 has a higher hardness than the pillow core 1. Specifically, the neck support 2 and pillow core 1 can be made of the same type of material with different hardness, such as sponges with different hardness. For example, pillow core 1 could be made of ordinary sponge, while the neck support 2 could be made of high-hardness or high-resilience sponge. When the user lies on the pillow, the surface of the lower-hardness pillow core 1 quickly deforms to conform to the head, neck, and shoulders, and then the deformation space 111 is compressed. Since both the neck support 2 and pillow core 1 are made of sponge material, the lower hardness of pillow core 1 provides a soft support feel, while the higher hardness of neck support 2 provides support force. The upper part 21 can always maintain an upwardly curved support shape, and the connecting part 23 can accumulate rebound force after being compressed and bent, thus providing more elastic support. Alternatively, the neck support 2 and pillow core 1 can be made of different types of materials with different hardness, such as latex for pillow core 1 and polyurethane sponge for neck support 2. The pillow core 1 is made of latex, and the neck support 2 is made of polyurethane foam. Latex provides a soft and breathable surface support, while polyurethane foam provides rebound support generated by compression deformation. It can also maintain a good fit to the neck curve by utilizing the upper part 21 during compression deformation.
[0064] In other embodiments, the support properties of different materials can be utilized. For example, the pillow core 1 can be made of ordinary sponge, and the neck support 2 can be made of slow rebound sponge. When the user puts the pillow on, the deformation space 111 is compressed, and the surface of the pillow core 1 quickly deforms to fit the head, neck and shoulders. Then the slow rebound sponge provides support. The combination of the deformation space 111 and the slow rebound sponge provides a gentle and fitting support effect.
[0065] The beneficial effects of the pillow with deformable neck support 2 in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are as follows: A deformable neck support 2 with a hardness greater than that of the pillow core 1 is provided in the pillow core 1. The opening of the neck support 2 faces the other edge of the pillow core 1. The neck support 2 can adaptively adjust the neck height at least when sleeping on its back by deforming under pressure. A cavity 11 for the deformation of the neck support 2 is formed in the pillow core 1, making the deformation of the neck support 2 easier. The neck support 2 and the pillow core 1 can be connected during the one-piece molding process of the pillow core 1 in a manner similar to pre-embedding the neck support 2, forming the cavity 11. No glue is required.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 has a ventilation channel 12, which includes multiple ventilation holes located on the two end sidewalls along the length of the cavity 11. By providing the ventilation channel 12, the pillow's breathability is improved. The outer opening of the ventilation hole is located on the surface of the pillow core 1, and the inner opening communicates with the deformation space 111 of the cavity 11, providing a passage for gas to circulate within the deformation space 111 when the neck support 2 is compressed and deformed.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 includes an upper core 1-1 and a lower core 1-2. After the neck support body 2 is installed, the upper core 1-1 and the lower core 1-2 are assembled together. Both the upper core 1-1 and the lower core 1-2 have grooves, and the upper and lower grooves form a cavity 11. The upper core 1-1 and the lower core 1-2 can be assembled together by adhesive. The pillow core 1 does not adopt a one-piece molding method but adopts an assembly structure, which makes processing relatively easy.
[0070] Example 4
[0071] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 has two cavities 11, and a neck support 2 is provided in each of the two cavities 11, so that there is no need to distinguish the direction of the pillow core 1.
[0072] In this embodiment, the opening of the neck brace 2 faces the same side edge.
[0073] Example 5
[0074] See Figure 6 In this embodiment, the shape of the neck support 2 is different from that in the first embodiment. The neck support 2 has two connecting parts 23, which are located on both sides of the upper part 21 and the lower part 22 respectively. The neck support 2 is ring-shaped (egg-shaped).
[0075] Example 6
[0076] See Figure 7 The pillow core 1 is integrally molded, with its cavity 11 connected to the outside. The neck support 2 is inserted into the cavity 11. This structure is relatively easy to manufacture and does not require glue. It also eliminates the need to separately machine ventilation channels into the pillow core 1. Because the cavity 11 of the pillow core 1 is connected to the outside, and the neck support 2 is relatively long, it can still provide elastic support under pressure even when the user is not using the central part of the pillow.
[0077] Example 7
[0078] See Figure 8 In this embodiment, the pillow core 1 adopts an ergonomic design with a sunken fossa area and a forward-extending neck support. The height of the middle position of the surface of the pillow core 1 is appropriately reduced to form a fossa area that supports the back of the head. The middle position of one side edge of the pillow core 1 protrudes outward and forward to increase the support effect on the neck and shoulder area. The neck support extends forward accordingly to provide a soft and elastic support layer for the neck and shoulder area, and also helps to stretch the neck and shoulder area.
[0079] See Figure 9In this embodiment, the upper part 21 of the neck support 2 is lower in the middle and higher at both ends along its length. The curvature of the upper part 21 of the neck support 2 presents a structure with higher sides and a lower middle, providing stable support while also providing a wrap-around neck support effect. The sunken fossa area of the pillow core 1 corresponds to the middle of the neck support 2.
[0080] Example 8
[0081] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the pillow also includes a face support 3 located in the pillow core 1.
[0082] In this embodiment, the face support 3 is lower in the middle and higher at both ends, that is, roughly along the wide width of the pillow, the face support 3 is lower in the middle and higher at both ends. The lower middle position of the face support 3 fits the position of the cheekbone, avoiding pressure on the face when sleeping on one's side, and the higher structure at both ends supports the cheeks and temples, improving comfort when sleeping on one's side.
[0083] In this embodiment, the upper part 21 of the face support 3 and the neck support 2 is integrated as one unit, and there are two face supports 3 located at both ends of the neck support 2. The integrated upper part 21 of the face support 3 and the neck support 2 reduces the weakening of support or the feeling of foreign objects in the transition pillow core 1 area between the independently placed face support 3 and neck support 2. The face support 3 and the neck support 2 work together to improve sleep comfort, so that the pillow always provides good support after the user switches between sleeping on their back and turning to their side multiple times.
[0084] In this embodiment, the middle part of the face support 3 protrudes outward. From Figure 10 From a top-down view, the face support body 3 is roughly shaped like a cow's horn.
[0085] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the content described in the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
