Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pillows, and more particularly to U-shaped pillows. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditional U-shaped pillows have a U-shaped structure, which can effectively support the head and provide a certain amount of support for the cervical spine, making it convenient for increasing comfort when traveling, napping, or resting.
[0003] However, conventional U-shaped pillows usually have fastening structures on both ends of the pillow body to easily adjust the inner diameter of the pillow body to meet different clamping force requirements of users. However, when connecting the fastening structures to adjust or fix the inner diameter of the pillow body, this design has the problem that the clamping force is concentrated near the fastening structures on both ends of the pillow body, and the wrapping around the human body is not distributed around the neck, which means that the wrapping effect is poor and the force is uneven, causing discomfort to the user and leaving room for improvement in the user experience. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new U-shaped pillow. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a U-shaped pillow that can enhance the neck wrapping and improve the user's experience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the U-shaped pillow includes a pillow body and a convergence band arranged around the axial direction of the pillow body.
[0006] Furthermore, an attachment portion is drilled in the convergence band, and the attachment portion is attached to the pillow body.
[0007] Furthermore, the convergence band is provided with a plurality of attachment portions, which are spaced apart around the pillow body.
[0008] Furthermore, a hole corresponding to the convergence band is opened in the mounting portion, and the convergence band is passed through the hole in the mounting portion.
[0009] Furthermore, the convergence band goes around the pillow body once.
[0010] Furthermore, the convergence band exhibits a flat structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the convergence band is further provided with locking portions for connecting both ends of the convergence band.
[0012] Furthermore, the pillow body has a flexible deformation ability.
[0013] Furthermore, the pillow body has a U-shaped structure, a neck receiving hole is provided in the center of the pillow body, and an opening connected to the neck receiving hole is provided on one side of the pillow body. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The U-shaped pillow in the embodiment of the present invention includes a pillow body and a converging band arranged around the axial direction of the pillow body, so that when the pillow body needs to be converged inward to encase the user's neck, pulling and tightening both ends of the converging band causes the converging band to be arranged around the pillow body, and the converging band applies a force from around the pillow body to the pillow body, converging the pillow body inward, causing the pillow body to press against the neck, resulting in a good encasement effect. Compared with the prior art, the U-shaped pillow of the present invention does not cause discomfort due to uneven pressure on the user's neck during use, increasing comfort in use and effectively improving the user experience.
