Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catcher's mitt type air filled head protector for whiplash injury alleviation wherein the middle protrusion rendered elastic by air pressure absorbs shocks to be otherwise inflicted upon the occipital region or the neck, a catcher's mitt type floating ring embraces and catches the occipital region, and side protrusions are inflated to absorb shocks to be otherwise inflicted upon the temporal regions. SOLUTION: A catcher's mitt type floating ring 1 separated at the center into the right-hand and left-hand sections 3 is provided, with a hole 2 at the middle. An airbag with a middle protrusion and side protrusions are provided, which share the common air. The middle protrusion of the airbag is put into the middle hole 2 of the ring 1, and the two are combined by plastic snapping fasteners. The airbag is provided with a band for attachment to the passenger's headrest.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glove-type floating wheel having a catcher mitt structure, in which a central projection made elastic by air pressure absorbs the impact of the back of the head and neck. The present invention relates to a pneumatic head protector having a catcher-mitt structure, which secures a scissors, and reduces whiplash. 2. Description of the Related Art At present, automobiles are a common mode of transportation in daily life. As the number of drivers increases, traffic accidents do not disappear. In addition, the number of elderly drivers is increasing, and whiplash damage due to serious injuries due to traffic accidents is increasing. Conventionally,
Although airbag technology has made it possible to absorb the impact of the forehead, serious backlash has also been caused by the recoil of the airbag. Therefore, a technique for absorbing the impact of the back of the head and neck is required. [0003] Conventionally, there have been the following problems. B) The number of serious whiplash obstacles due to traffic accidents is increasing. B) There is a need for a technique to absorb the impact of the back of the head and neck. [0004] This will be described with reference to the drawings. B) Provide a glove-type floating ring (1) such as a catcher mitt with a hole (2) in the center separated from both ends (3). B) Next, a projection (5) is provided in the center, and
A side plate protrusion (6) is provided, and a protrusion (5) is provided.
A base bladder (4) having a structure in which the side plate protrusions (6) are both air-permeable is provided. C) Insert the projection (5) at the center of the base floating bag (4) into the center hole (2) of the glove type floating ring (1), and fasten the plastic snap (7) to integrate them. D) A band (8) for attaching to the head portion of the seat is provided on the base floating bag (4). The present invention is a safety device for a pneumatic head having the above-described configuration and having a catcher mitt structure for reducing whiplash. [0005] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. B) The center projection (5), which is elasticized by air pressure, absorbs the impact of the back of the head and neck. B) Next, secure so that the back of the head can be gripped by the separated ends (3) of the glove type floating ring (1) having the catcher mitt structure. C) Further, when pressure is applied to the central projection (5),
The side plate projection (6) swells and absorbs the impact of the temporal region. The material used for the air-built floats and bladders should be made of rubber or vinyl with airtightness that does not leak air.
Further, a material such as rubber, urethane, leather or sponge which has elasticity and absorbs impact and is hard to slip may be attached to the surface material. Further, the present invention is not limited to the floating ring or bladder filled with air, but may be a cushion material or a shock absorbing material such as a sponge which has elasticity and absorbs shock instead of air. An embodiment will be described. As shown in the figure, the surface is processed into a rugged pattern such as a tire pattern to prevent the back of the head and neck from slipping and absorb shock. (Figs. 16, 17, 18) Glove-shaped to hold and hold it deeper. (Figs. 19, 20) The gloves are made wider and larger to hold the scissors and catch them. (FIGS. 21 and 22) The effects of the present invention will be described. 1) Absorb the impact of the back of the whip due to a traffic accident and secure the safety. 2) It absorbs the twisting impact of the temporal region and secures the twist of the neck. 3) Grasp the back of the head and reduce back bending impact on the neck. In addition, instead of the plastic snap shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, a material such as a magic tape (registered trademark) or an adhesive tape which is bonded on both sides can be used instead. Alternatively, without using a double-sided adhesive tool, a shape may be devised in which the glove type floating ring and the base floating bag are combined and integrated.
