Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a neck pillow for use in this method.
  • a neck pillow is popular because it allows easy rest in a chair without a painful neck.
  • a neck pillow is worn around the neck so that the head does not fall completely to the side when sitting in a chair.
  • the neck pilow can then shift, so that support is no more provided.
  • the use of a neck pillow is intended for use in chairs with a head rest, such as car seats or airplane seats, the solution to this problem has been devised to provide a band to the neck pillow which can be at ⁇ tached around a chair.
  • the disadvantage of this is that the clamp ⁇ ing around the chair must be very tight to prevent shifting.
  • An- other disadvantage is that there is a loose band which must have a large dimension to fit around every seat.
  • the invention provides a method comprising the features of claim 1.
  • This method has the ad ⁇ vantage that a neck pillow can be attached to the chair without the neck pillow being able to shift. An optimal support is thereby ensured .
  • the invention therefore relates to a method for clamping a neck pillow to a chair with a backrest and a headrest, comprising the step of providing a neck pillow with a deformable coupling element and placing the coupling ele ⁇ ment clampingly in an opening between the backrest and the headrest .
  • the deformable coupling element comprising at least one of: - a compressible material and - a gas-tight chamber, preferably with a valve for supplying gas into the chamber or ex ⁇ tracting gas from the chamber.
  • a suitable clamping can be ensured at all times.
  • gastight here means that the chamber is substantially gas-tight during use, but that a gas can be supplied or removed by means of a valve , as desired, for example before or after use.
  • a "compressible material” may suita ⁇ bly be a foam material with open or closed cells.
  • the method preferably comprises the step of placing the coupling element in the opening and supplying gas to the gas-tight chamber via the valve.
  • a method for clamping a neck pillow to a chair with a backrest and a headrest comprising the step of providing a neck cushion with a deformable coupling element and placing the coupling element clampingly in an opening between the backrest and the headrest, the method being characterized in that the deformable coupling element comprises at least one gas-tight chamber with a valve for supplying gas to the chamber or extracting gas from the chamber; the method further be- ing characterized in that the method comprises the step of placing the coupling element in the opening and supplying gas to the gas- tight chamber via the valve. This provides an optimum result.
  • the coupling element has a circumference with two op ⁇ posite wall parts, at least one of the wall parts comprising a notch directed towards the other wall part.
  • This is particularly advantageous in car seats, where a headrest is usually attached to the backrest by means of two rods. At least one of these rods can then be inserted into the at least one notch so that a firm cou ⁇ pling is obtained.
  • both opposite wall parts comprise a notch, each receiving one of those rods such that an optimal coupling is obtained.
  • the neck cushion comprises a head support element which extends to a position above the opening between the backrest and the head restraint, that support element shall, as far as possi ⁇ ble, abut at least a part of the headrest to provide optimal sup ⁇ port for the head of a user and the support element should prefer- ably not move away from the head rest.
  • the support element comprises a fastening element
  • the method according to the present invention further comprises the step of fastening the fastening element around the headrest. The positioning of the neck cushion is ensured in itself because the coupling element is placed in the opening; the fas ⁇ tening element ensures that the support element does not move away from the head rest.
  • the neck pillow according to the invention may advantageously comprise a first side support for positioning near a first side of the headrest and comprising a second side support for positioning near an opposite second side of the headrest. This fully supports the head of a user both left and right so that the head cannot fall sideways.
  • the two side supports are coupled to a fastening element, which method comprises the step of fastening the fastening element around the headrest.
  • the side supports will remain positioned near the headrest and can therefore offer optimum support.
  • the invention relates to a neck pillow for use in a method according to the present invention as mentioned above, comprising a deformable coupling element for placing in an opening between a backrest and a headrest of a chair.
  • the deformable coupling element comprises at least one of: - a compressible material and - a gas-tight chamber, preferably with a valve for supplying a gas to the chamber or ex ⁇ tracting gas from the chamber. This provides a simple insertion of the coupling element into the opening as well as a suitable clamp ⁇ ing therein.
  • a suitable clamping in the opening of a car seat can be obtained when the coupling element has a circumference with two opposite wall parts, at least one of the wall parts com ⁇ prising a notch directed towards the other wall part.
  • the coupling element can have a part protruding at the front of the chair and have a part protruding at the rear of the chair.
  • the coupling element is then made thinner, that is to say that the distance between the two op ⁇ posite wall parts which lie against the rods is smaller than at a position behind the rods and a position in front of the rods.
  • the neck pillow will comprise a notch at both opposite wall parts to properly clamp the coupling element into the opening by receiving the two bars of the headrest into the notches .
  • the neck pillow ac ⁇ cording to the invention comprises a fastening element for attach- ment around the headrest.
  • the neck pillow according to the invention comprisies a first side support for positioning near a first side of the headrest and a second side support for positioning near an opposite second side of the headrest.
  • both side supports are pref ⁇ erably coupled to a fastening element for attachment around the headrest.
  • the fastening element can for instance be a belt, cord or strap, optionally elastic.
  • Fig. 1 a schematic side view of a neck pillow according to the invention during use on a car seat
  • Fig. 2 a schematic top view in partial view of a neck pillow according to the invention during use on a car seat
  • Fig. 3 a schematic front view in partial view of a neck pil ⁇ low according to the invention during use on a car seat .
  • Fig. 1 shows a neck pillow 1 which is coupled to a car seat 2.
  • the car seat 2 comprises a backrest 3 and a headrest 4.
  • an opening is present between the backrest and the headrest 4 in that the headrest 4 by means of two rods 5, 6 (see also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is movably attached to the backrest 3.
  • the neck pillow 1 comprises a coupling element 7 which is passed through the open ⁇ ing which is defined by the two rods 5, 6, the backrest 3 and the headrest 4.
  • the neck pillow 1 shown in the figures also comprises two side supports 8, 9 which respectively extend at a left side and a right side of the head of a user (not shown) . This makes the head well supported when a user wants to rest or sleep.
  • the side supports 8, 9 extend from a front side of the head support 4 so that the head of the user will be at least partly be ⁇ tween the two side supports 8, 9.
  • Fig. 2 shows that a rear side 10 and a front side 11 of the coupling element 7 are wider than the distance between the two rods 5, 6.
  • FIG. 3 a schematic, partially transparent front view of the combination of neck pillow 1 and seat 2 according to Figs. 1 and 2 is shown.
  • the side supports 8, 9 can be seen between which a user can place his head.
  • FIG. 13 in the form of a belt 13 with a buckle 14 is shown, also shown in FIG. 1, which ensures that the side supports 8, 9 do not fall away from the headrest.
  • the side supports are coupled to the cou- pling element 7 and, due to their weight, however slight it may be, they could tilt slightly forward which could hinder a user.
  • the belt 13 prevents this movement.
  • the parts of the neck pillow 1 which come into contact with the head of a user may have a lower hardness than the parts which contact the seat 2, such as the parts 7 and 12.
  • This provides a great degree of com ⁇ fort to the user while the coupling with the chair is very good which further contributes to a great comfort.
  • the invention also extends over any combination of measures which are described independently in the above description.
