Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a neck pillow for a vehicle, and more specifically, to a neck pillow for a vehicle in which the volume of the main body changes depending on the filling material or the period of use, and the cover part is tightened by tightening the locking part so that the cover part adheres to the main body in accordance with the volume of the main body, thereby maintaining the shape of the neck pillow at all times, and a scent-emitting cartridge is installed inside the main body in a replaceable manner so as to make the user comfortable and pleasant. Background Technology

[0002] With changes in living conditions such as the rapid proliferation of automobiles and the increase in leisure time, the time spent driving or resting inside a vehicle while driving or stopped is gradually increasing. Accordingly, automobiles and their internal structures are increasingly recognized as part of life and culture, going beyond the function of merely a means of transportation.

[0003] In response to this trend, seats have recently been ergonomically designed to allow drivers and passengers to sit comfortably while driving or resting. By manufacturing seats that closely conform to the shape of the lumbar and back muscles when the lumbar region makes contact with the seat, they enhance ride comfort and effectively reduce fatigue during long drives. Furthermore, it is common for a headrest to be attached and fixed to the top of the seat. This headrest supports the back of the passenger's head to reduce head fatigue and stably absorbs impact to the head and neck in the event of a collision or rear-end accident.

[0004] However, it has been pointed out that the headrest installed on the seat configured as described above has a structure designed to support only the back of the occupant's head, and thus does not match the curve of the human body extending from the back of the head down to the neck and lumbar spine. As a result, a space is created between the headrest and the neck, and consequently, the neck area, where fatigue occurs first, is not effectively supported, leading to the accumulation of fatigue. Furthermore, it has been pointed out that there is a very high possibility of a fracture centered on the neck occurring due to a secondary impact on the headrest in the event of a collision or rear-end collision of the vehicle.

[0005] To address these issues, neck pillows are being released, but currently available neck pillows are made by filling them with air or cotton or other filling materials to maintain their shape. Therefore, they are structured in a way that prevents them from being utilized for any purpose other than as a pillow. Prior art literature

[0024] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention; thus, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a neck pillow for a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a neck pillow for a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a main body part according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the neck pillow (50) for a vehicle according to the present invention is a neck pillow (50) that is attached to a headrest attached to a seat of a vehicle, and is composed of a main body (10), a cover part (20), and a locking part (30).

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body (10) is formed in a cylindrical shape and has a hollow interior, and a filling material (1), such as cotton, is filled into the hollow interior of the main body (10). An inlet (11) into which the filling material (1) is introduced is formed on one side of the main body (10). At this time, the main body (10) can be designed to be in a polygonal shape other than a cylindrical shape.

[0029] Here, a zipper-shaped opening / closing member (12) for opening and closing the opening (11) is formed in the above-mentioned opening (11). The opening / closing member (12) is formed so that the zipper handle portion can be caught on the neck of a user using the neck pillow (50), and thus is formed on the inside of the main body (10).

[0030] Additionally, a replaceable cartridge (40) that emits a scent is formed inside the main body (10). The cartridge (40) has a scent-emitting substance formed inside it, and the cartridge (40) is provided inside the main body (10) along with a filler through the input port (11) of the main body (10), and can be replaced according to the scent conditions of the cartridge (40). That is, the cartridge (40) can be replaced and inserted into the main body (10) according to the scent desired by the user.

[0031] In addition, a portion of the outer surface of the main body (10) is formed in the shape of a mesh or has multiple perforations so that the fragrance emitted from the cartridge (40) is discharged to the outside, and the mesh or perforations are formed as fine holes so that the filling material (1) filled inside is not discharged.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover portion (20) is formed with through holes on both sides so that the main body portion (10) is inserted inside, and a fastening portion (21) is formed on one end of the outer surface of the cover portion (20) so as to be fastened to a headrest.

[0034] Here, the fastening part (21) is formed in the shape of a string, and the two strings wrap around the neck portion of the headrest and are formed in a structure that allows them to be attached and detached by being fastened to each other at the ends, such as by a Velcro type or a snap type.

[0035] Additionally, insertion holes (22) are formed along the edges of the penetrating sides of the cover portion (20) so that the tightening cord (31) of the locking portion (30) can be inserted. Since the insertion holes (22) are formed along the edge of one penetrating side of the cover portion (20), there are two openings, and the tightening cord (31) is inserted through one opening and comes out through the opposite opening.

[0036] In addition, a plurality of perforations are formed on the outer surface of the cover portion (20) so that the scent of the cartridge (40) emitted through the outer surface of the main body portion (10) penetrates and is discharged to the outside.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the locking part (30) is formed on the two perforated cover parts (20) and tightens both sides of the perforated cover parts (20) to prevent the main body part (10) from coming off, while at the same time pressing the cover parts (20) against the main body part (10) to match the volume of the main body part (10).

[0039] Here, the locking part (30) is composed of a tightening cord (31) installed on both penetrating edges of the cover part (20) to tighten the penetrating part of the cover part (20), and a tightening member (32) connected to the tightening cord (31) to reduce the length of the tightening cord (31) by rotation, thereby enabling the tightening cord (31) to tighten the penetrating part of the cover part (20).

[0040] And, the tightening cord (31) is made of iron wire, wire, etc., and one end of it passes through an insertion hole (22) formed in the penetration part of the cover part (20), and both ends of the tightening cord (31) that pass through the insertion hole (22) are connected to the inside of the tightening member (32), so that the length decreases and increases in accordance with the operation of the tightening member, thereby tightening and loosening the penetration part of the cover part (20).

[0041] Additionally, the tightening member (32) is formed in the form of a dial button used in hiking boots, etc. When the dial button is lowered, it is locked, and when rotated in that state, the tightening cord (31) is wound, causing the tightening cord (31) to tighten the penetration part of the cover part (20). Then, when the dial button of the tightening member (32) is raised, the lock is released, and the tightening cord (31) is loosened to extend, thereby loosening the penetration part of the cover part (20). At this time, since the tightening member (32) is similar to a dial button tightening device commonly used in hiking boots, etc., a separate configuration or structure is not described.

[0043] Although the invention has been described with reference to the embodiments above, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims. Furthermore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical spirit of the invention, and all technical spirits within the scope of the following claims and equivalents should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
