Passenger Seat Sleeping Pillow with Angular Mechanism for Neck Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing passenger transportation seats, such as those in airplanes, buses, and trains, fail to adequately address the anatomical structure of passengers, leading to discomfort and health issues like neck stiffness and insomnia during long journeys.
Innovation Solution
A passenger seat sleeping pillow with an angular mechanism that allows the headrest and neck pillow to adjust to different angles and positions, providing comfort and support for passengers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional head restraints and neck restraints are used in passenger seats, then the seat structure remains simple, but passenger comfort and anatomical support are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The pillow is divided into multiple functional segments including a headrest portion, neck support portion, and adjustable angle mechanism. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pillow incorporates an adjustable angle mechanism that allows dynamic repositioning of the headrest and neck support portions. This dynamic capability enables the pillow to adapt to different passenger anatomies and comfort preferences without requiring a completely complex seat structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed-angle headrests are used, then the device complexity is low, but adaptability to different passenger anatomical structures is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The headrest incorporates an adjustable angle mechanism with multiple predetermined positions that allows the support surface to be dynamically repositioned according to different passenger anatomical requirements, achieving adaptability without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pillow allows changes in the angular parameter of the headrest and neck support portions to match different passenger anatomical structures. By adjusting the angle parameter, the pillow adapts to various neck lengths, head sizes, and sleeping positions.
3Reliability
If no angle adjustment mechanism is provided, then the device complexity remains low, but the ability to prevent neck stiffness and insomnia is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The angular mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of the headrest angle to optimal positions that support proper neck alignment during sleep. This dynamic positioning capability reliably prevents neck stiffness and insomnia by ensuring correct anatomical support throughout the journey.
Solution Approach 2:
The pillow provides preliminary anatomical support in the correct position before the passenger settles into sleep, preventing neck stiffness and insomnia from occurring in the first place through proper initial positioning.

AI summary
The invention developed to ensure that the passengers sleep in a good quality, comfortable and healthy sleep during their bus, airplane and train journeys and to prevent the eclipses occurring in the neck after the journey. It has an angled working principle in accordance with head and neck anatomy. The present invention; The Passenger Seat with angle mechanism that can be produced in the system is related to the sleeping cushion and angle mechanism provides two types of assembly (Figure 1) or (Figure 2), optionally manual or motorized (Figure 19), thanks to the variable apparatus enabling the assembly of the passenger seat (29) during or after manufacturing.
