Description

旅行枕垫
本申请是申请日为2013年4月8日、申请号为201380000547.5、发明名称为“具有侧向和后部支撑条以及平而薄的背部的旅行枕垫”的专利申请(对应的国际申请为PCT/US2013/035646)的分案申请。
技术领域
本发明涉及一种垫枕,并且更具体的说是涉及一种旅行枕垫。
背景技术
垫枕通常用于对头部和颈部提供支撑,通常是处于敷设位置。相反,旅行枕垫被设计成用于在乘坐时对头部和颈部提供支撑,如在长途汽车、火车和飞机旅行中常见的。旅行枕垫通常为“U”形的并且被适配成用来配合在人颈部的周围。旅行枕垫可防止颈部疲劳并且通过竖直地支撑人的颈部和头部来提升舒适度。
于2001年5月15日授予希尔沃(Silver)等人的编号为6,230,349的美国专利描述了一种旅行枕垫,这种旅行枕垫具有紧凑的尺寸和U形以用于在乘坐时对使用者的头部和颈部进行支撑。这种装置被适配成用于允许使用者提供或移除填充材料以便调整硬度。虽然此发明能够提供颈部支撑,但是它在左、右和前方位置不能提供足够的颈部支撑。此外,因为前部没有支撑,这种旅行枕垫将迫使人的头部向前,从而引起颈部疲劳。此外,这些凸起部不是足够高的,并且如果人的头部向左或向右垂,这些凸起部会分开。
在1982年8月24日授予坎特(Kantor)的编号为4,345,347的美国专利描述了一种具有用于在乘坐时对使用者的头部和颈部进行支撑的U形部的衬层。该装置被适配成用于接受一个套筒以用来覆盖该衬层的将接触皮肤或头发的覆盖部分,并且包括用于对肩部上的装置进行平衡的多个配重。虽然此发明能够提供颈部支撑,但是它不能在左、右和前方位置提供足够的颈部支撑,并且没有被适配成用于防止极端向前的头部位置。
于1870年1月18日授予法斯特(Fast)的编号为98,859的美国专利描述了一种具有用于提升乘客旅行时的舒适度的衬层的旅行枕垫。这种装置包括可充气的半圆形衬层以及一个条带,该条带被适配成用于通过手臂施加向下的力从而在颈部周围形成该衬层。虽然此发明能够提供颈部支撑,但它不能在左、右和前方位置提供足够的颈部支撑,并且没有被适配成用于防止极端向前的头部位置。
虽然现有技术中存在若干旅行枕垫,但是很少能对可替换的头部位置提供足够的支撑。此外,旅行枕垫因迫使头部向前而众人皆知,导致颈部疲劳。最后,由于“U”形的间隙,当前的旅行枕垫不能足够地支撑前部位置。因此,对于一种可对所有头部位置提供足够的颈部支撑而不会引起过度疲劳的旅行枕垫存在一种需要。此外,对于一种不会在后部位置迫使头部向前的旅行枕垫存在需要。本发明实现了这些目的。
发明内容
本发明公开了一种旅行枕垫,该旅行枕垫包括一个U形的、柔软的底部衬层,这个底部衬层具有被固定到该底部衬层的顶侧上的第二U形的凸出衬层。底部衬层和凸出衬层的内周壁是相互齐平的,从而对颈部提供舒适的表面。此外,底部衬层和凸出衬层的后壁是相互齐平的并且基本上是平坦的以用于更好的接触多个平面,如头枕、座或椅。这个凸出衬层的后部薄于这个凸出衬层的每一侧部,从而提供了用来调整头部位置的更多的自由活动范围而容易地与头枕、座或椅的形状相适配。一个可移除的罩被适配成用于覆盖该底部衬层和凸出衬层。此外,这个罩是可反转的,在此该罩的外侧具有与该罩的内侧形成对比的外观。该垫枕在人体工程学上被设计成用来配合在人的颈部和头部的后面,从而使头部和颈部的后面与座位排成一行并且不向前推人的头部。
该凸出衬层在人体工程学上被设计成舒适地配合在颈部周围而不会引起过度疲劳。此外,该凸出衬层被适配成用于防止防碍戴耳机的人。在底部衬层的外部和底部可定位有多个袋以便用于存储电子器件和其他物品。一个具有可调整的束紧机构的细绳可用于对颈部周围的旅行枕垫进行调整。这个束紧机构还使该垫枕保持在位,防止这些凸起部向外分开,并且使垫枕与任何人的颈部周围相一致。进一步地,这个束紧机构允许在该垫枕周围附接一个袋子提手或条带以便用于免提运输。
U形旅行枕垫通常是旨在旅行时用于对头部提供支撑。这样,底部衬层和凸出衬层均由被适配成用于紧固但舒适地配合在颈部周围的记忆泡沫材料整体地形成,从而在以直立状态乘坐时,对头部提供了足够的人体工程学支撑。该旅行枕垫可被成形为类似于动物、人物、或运动队的标志。
本装置是一种可对所有的头部位置提供足够的颈部支撑而不会引起过度疲劳的旅行枕垫。此外,存在着对于一种不会在后方位置迫使头部向前的旅行枕垫的需要。结合附图,从以下通过举例说明本发明原理的更详细的说明中,本发明的其他特征和优点将变得清楚。

图1是本发明一个实施例的透视图;
图2是其前部正视图,为清晰说明而省略了图1所展示的细绳;
图3是本发明的一个替代实施例的后部正视图;
图4是图1的实施例的顶部平面视图;

具体实施方式
以下描述了本发明的多个说明性实施例。以下的解释提供了具体的细节,用于全面理解并且能够说明这些实施例。本领域技术人员将会理解的是,本发明可以在没有这类细节的情况下来实践。在其他情况下,没有详细地示出或描述熟知的结构和功能,以避免不必要地模糊这些实施例的说明。
除非上下文另外清楚地要求,在整个说明书和权利要求中,这些词“包括”、“包含”以及类似的词均以包括的含义被解释而与排他或穷举的含义相反;也就是说,具有“包括,但不限于”的意义。使用单数或复数的词也对应地包括复数或单数。此外,当在本申请中使用时,这些词“在此”、“以上”、“以下”以及类似意思的词是指本申请作为一个整体,而不是指本申请的任何特定部分。当权利要求使用与两个或两个以上项目的列表相关的词“或”时,该词涵盖了所有以下对该词的解释:列表中的任何项目,列表中的所有项目以及列表中的项目的任意组合。
图1和图2展示了一个旅行枕垫10,该旅行枕垫包括一个U形、柔软的底部衬层20,该底部衬层具有一个顶侧28、底侧22、外周壁29、内周壁21、后壁27和一对相对的前壁23。一个U形凸出衬层30被固定到底部衬层20的顶侧28上。这个凸出衬层30包括一个顶侧38、底侧32、后壁34(图5)、外周壁39、以及内周壁31,所有这些限定了一个后部37以及凸出衬层30的两个相对的侧部35(图4)。底部衬层20和凸出衬层30的内周壁21、31相互齐平,从而为颈部提供了一个舒适的表面。
底部衬层20的顶侧28基本是平的,而这个凸出衬层30的顶侧38在其内周壁31与外周壁39之间是弯曲的(图2)或平坦的(图3)。底部衬层20和凸出衬层30的后壁27、34是相互齐平的(图4)并且基本上是平坦的以用于更好地接触平坦表面,如头枕或椅子(未示出)。此外,该凸起部分30的外周壁39可延伸高于相对侧部分35的内周壁31(图2),而该后部37的外周壁39和内周壁31的高度基本相同。该凸出衬层30的后部37薄于每个侧部35的厚度(图4),从而提供用来调整头部位置的更多自由活动范围而容易地与头枕、座或椅的形状相适配。
一个可选择性移除的织物罩40被适配为覆盖该底部衬层20和凸出衬层30,并且包括一个在其底侧42的开口50(图5)。在一个实施例中,织物罩40是可反转的,其中该罩40的第一侧41具有与罩40的第二侧42(图1)相对比的外观。在一个替代实施例中,底部衬层20和凸出衬层30在第一附接机构130处可选择性地相互分离(图3),如拉链(未示出)、两部分的钩环式材料150、钮扣、和/或机械式搭扣160。这样,该织物罩40被适配成用来覆盖该底部衬层20,而第二织物罩140(图3)被适配成用来覆盖该凸出衬层30。织物罩40可以是机洗的,以便允许清洁该罩40的汗水或其他污垢。
该凸出衬层30包括一对在每个侧部35的内周壁31上的相对的凹槽90(图1)或半圆形切口(未示出),由此该凸出衬层30不防碍戴耳机的人。此外,底部衬层20的外周壁29包括用于保持一个物品15的至少一个袋100。在一个替代实施例中,底部衬层20的底侧22(图6)进一步包括用于接收第二物品16的至少一个袋120。
旅行枕垫10可在第一位置被使用,在这个第一位置中该使用者可将其头部向后放置在旅行枕垫10上;或者在被旋转180度的第二位置,在这个第二位置中使用者的下颚在下颚支架170(图1)处受到支撑。显然,使用者可根据需要而将该旅行枕垫10转动到任何合适且舒适的位置,该凸出衬层30对于使用者的颈部和下颚提供了不同的支撑高度。为了提供更多的定制,细绳60被适配成用于对旅行枕垫10在颈部周围的配合进行调整。细绳60具有相对的两端65,每一端被固定到底部衬层20的前壁23中的最近的一个壁上。
细绳60进一步包括可调节的束紧机构70,以便对细绳60中的张力进行调整。可对这个束紧机构70进行调整直到底部衬层20的前周壁23发生相互接触。这样,旅行枕垫10可进一步用作按摩枕,其中这个凸出衬层30支撑使用者的面部,同时允许使用者自由呼吸和俯卧。可替代的是,这种构形的旅行枕垫10可分别用作一名使用者脸部或使用者头部后面的所谓的“按摩”或“晒黑”的支架,而面朝下或面朝下地躺在表面上。
U形旅行枕垫10通常旨在在旅行时为头部提供支撑。这样,在一个实施例中,底部衬层20和凸出衬层30均由被适配成用来紧固但舒适地配合在颈部周围的一种泡沫材料110整体地形成,从而当以直立状态就坐时,为头部提供了足够的人体工程学支撑。在优选的实施例中,泡沫材料110是一种记忆泡沫材料,装置10具有10”x 10”x 5”的总体尺寸,尽管可使用任何合适的材料和尺寸。其他材料包括织物、空气、珠子、聚酯、谷物、芳香物质、凝胶和其他流体。
虽然已经展示和描述了本发明的特定形式,但清楚的是,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下可作出各种修改。例如,可以结合一种电加热和按摩装置来为颈部提供热量和按摩。此外,旅行枕垫10可以被成形为如同动物、卡通人物、运动队标志或其他新颖的形状。因此,除非由附加权利要求限定,不旨在限制本发明。
在对本发明的某些特征或方面进行说明时所使用的特定术语不应意味着该术语在此被重新定义而限于与术语相关联的本发明的任何特定特性、特征或多个方面。总之,在以下权利要求中使用的术语不应被解释为将本发明限制成说明书中所披露的具体实施例,除非上述的详细描述部分明确定义了这类术语。因此,本发明的实际范围不仅涵盖了所披露的实施例,还涵盖了实践或实现本发明的所有等价方式。
以上对本发明实施例的详细描述并不旨在是详尽的或旨在将本发明限制成以上所披露的精确形式或者在该披露中所提到的特定领域的使用。虽然以上描述的本发明的具体实施例和实例是为了说明的目的,但是在本发明的范围内各种等效的修改是可能的,因为本领域技术人员将会认识到。同样,在此提供的本发明的这些传授内容可应用于其他系统,而不一定是以上描述的系统。上述各种实施例的要素和功能可被组合以提供另外的实施例。
所有的上述专利和申请以及其他参考文献,包括在所附提交文件中所列出的任何一个,均通过引用被结合在此。如有必要,本发明的多个方面可被修改,以采用上述各种参考文献的系统、功能和概念以提供本发明的又另外的实施例。
还可根据上述的“详细说明”对本发明做出修改。虽然以上说明详细描述了本发明的特定实施例并描述了预期的最佳模式,但是,无论在本文中显得多么详细,本发明可通过许多方式来实践。因此,可对实施细节做出相当大的改变,同时仍被在此披露的本发明所涵盖。如以上指出的,在对本发明的某些特征或方面进行描述时所使用的特定术语不应意味着术语在此被重新定义成限于与术语相关联的本发明的任何特定特性、特征或多个方面。
虽然在以下通过某些权利要求的形式呈现了本发明的某些方面,但本发明人在许多权利要求形式中考虑了本发明的各个方面。因此,本发明人保留了在提交申请后增加额外权利要求的权利,以对于本发明的其他方面追加这类额外的权利要求的形式。
