Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide a cushion that can be used as a rain hat without impairing its performance. SOLUTION: A donut-shaped flange having a hole large enough to be inserted into a supposed head of a person is provided, and air is sealed into an inner edge of the hole of the flange through a valve body which regulates the inflow and outflow of air. By providing a bag-shaped volume adjustment part, it can be used as a cushion by putting a large amount of air in the volume adjustment part, and it can be worn on the head by reducing the air in the volume adjustment part and as a rain hat use.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cushion that also serves as a rain hat.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Spectators often use cushions when watching outdoor sports because the seats are usually tight. In recent years, cushions have been circulating that allow air to be inflated for convenient folding.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, raining is also a big problem for sports spectators on the open roof stadium. If you don't have a raincoat, etc., when it starts to rain during the game, you will have to take measures to prevent rain by covering your head with a ready-made one. On the other hand, in the case of light rain, it is often sufficient to cover the head like this. In order to prevent rain, it is necessary to use materials made of materials that repel water. For example, the cushions that are inflated with air described above can be used. However, holding the cushion with your hand all the time while watching the game is not very desirable as it can cause fatigue in your arms. One good solution to this is to be able to put a cushion on the head as a rain hat. However, in order to use it as a rain hat, it is necessary to provide a hole for the head, which may hinder the performance as a cushion. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to make a cushion usable as a rain hat without impairing its performance.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. The cushion according to the invention of claim 1 is provided with a donut-shaped flange having a hole sized to be inserted into an assumed human head, and provided at an inner edge of the hole to allow air to enter and exit. It has a bag-shaped volume adjusting section that seals air through a regulating valve element. By doing so, the seating elasticity is increased by increasing the volume of air in the volume adjustment section, and the volume adjustment section is made substantially sheet-shaped by reducing the volume of air in the volume adjustment section. The head of the person can be fitted into the hole of the flange portion so as to cover the sheet-shaped volume adjusting portion.

[0005] In the cushion according to the present invention, the flange portion is also formed by a bag body that seals air. By doing so, the flange also has an effect as a cushion.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cushion A according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cushion A. The cushion A is composed of a flange 10 and a volume adjusting unit 20.

The collar 10 is formed of a vinyl chloride bag, and has a donut shape having a hole that fits into a supposed human head. Here, the size of the hole is 18.5 cm 2. The collar portion 10 is provided with eight tuft-like bulges in design, and a reinforcing film 12 with a hole is formed at the boundary between the tufts as shown in FIG. One of the tufted bulges is provided with a bell 13 for generating a sound for cheering. The collar 10 is provided with a check valve 11 for injecting air. Through this check valve 11, a user can inject air into the collar 10 or release air. Can be. The check valve 11 and a check valve 21 described later are the same as those used for a general beach ball or the like.

The volume adjusting section 20 is also formed of a vinyl chloride bag, and is thermally fused to the inner edge of the hole of the flange section 10. The volume adjusting section 20 is also provided with a check valve 21 for restricting the inflow and outflow of air. Through this check valve 21, the user can put air in and out of the volume adjusting section 20. The size of the volume adjusting section 20 is such that the shape above the line of the eyebrows of the head of the person, which is assumed to completely inflate, is adjusted up and down. It is formed in such a size that a hemisphere with a height of 15 cm can be raised and lowered from the surface to be formed.

Subsequently, a method of using the cushion having the above-described configuration will be described. First, a case where the cushion is used as a cushion to be spread on a seat will be described. At first, it is assumed that both the flange portion 10 and the volume adjusting portion 20 are folded without air. First, the user inflates the collar 10 almost completely by injecting air from the check valve 11 of the collar 10. Next, the user enters air from the check valve 21 of the volume adjusting unit 20. At this time, the amount of air to be introduced is adjusted according to the user's preference so that the height and hardness are appropriate for sitting. In this state, it can be laid on the seat and used as a cushion. It should be noted that the bell 13 can be sounded by shaking with the hand in this state and used as a musical instrument for support.

Next, a case where the device is used as a rain hat will be described. Initially, it is assumed that the cushion was used as described above. First, the user substantially bleeds air from the check valve 21 of the volume adjusting section 20. In this case, the volume adjusting unit 20 is in a state where two hemispherical sheets are overlapped. Next, the user inserts the head into the hole of the flange 10 as it is, fits the head into the hole, and puts on the head the volume adjustment unit 20 which is a hemispherical sheet. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a state in which the cushion A is put on the head. In such a state, the cushion A is fixed to the head. In addition, since the flange portion 10 protrudes outside, rain is prevented, and it can be used as a rain hat.

As described above, when the cushion A according to the present embodiment is used as a normal cushion, it can be changed to a desired height of the user by adjusting the air amount of the volume adjusting unit 20. In addition to functioning as a cushion, when used as a rain hat, the air can be put on the head by almost evacuating the air from the volume adjustment unit 20 and function as a rain hat.

In the above embodiment, the flange 10 is formed in a bag shape, but may be formed in a plate shape as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the flange portion 10a is formed in a donut shape having a slope which is slightly lowered outwardly by a thick urethane foam.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the present invention has the following effects. According to the first aspect of the present invention, the elasticity of the cushion can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of air in the volume adjusting section, thereby improving the functionality as a cushion and reducing the amount of air in the volume adjusting section. The part can be used as a rain hat by covering the head in the shape of a sheet and fitting the hole of the collar part into the head.

[0014] According to the invention of claim 2, the effect of the collar portion as a cushion is produced by forming the collar member into a bag body, so that the convenience of the user can be improved as a cushion having a larger area.
