On long journeys, most passengers feel tired in the neck. Since the neck supports the weight of the head, the neck pillow is indispensable and reduces the discomfort of the user's neck. This neck pillow is based on ergonomic research and is based on human head and neck data. Researched and developed by comparing with medical supplies. As shown in FIG. 10 and the table below, the shape of the neck pillow shape memory sponge was designed based on the length around the neck with reference to ergonomics (adults in Europe and the United States).

As can be seen from the above data, the length around the neck of an adult male is usually 35.5 to 41.9 cm, and the length around the neck of an adult female is usually 34.5 to 39. It is 7 cm, and if the shape of the pillow body is designed based on the above data, it is suitable for the length around the neck of most adult men and women, and the inner diameter of the pillow body is designed properly. Greatly improved comfort when worn.

In addition, based on research on sitting posture, head and neck on long journeys, a study of the user's mood after using the neck pillow improved the comfort and safety felt by the user. By using the data of the neck circumference and the medical neck bracket, the shape and size of the pillow body 04, that is, the shape memory sponge can be determined. In addition, based on the activity range parameter of the neck, the size, shape, elasticity, etc. of the bracket body can be referred to to design a neck pillow that is comfortable but does not affect the activity range.

The present invention is a neck pillow that combines the flexibility of a shape memory sponge material with the elasticity of the bracket body to be placed through several tests, adjustments and improvements. The size of this neck pillow is suitable for general use and also improves comfort and safety during use.

As shown in FIGS. 5-9, the C-shaped or U-shaped elastic bracket of the bracket body can provide sufficient elasticity to effectively secure the neck pillow to the neck when the user wears the neck pillow. Convenient and quick to put on and take off. The combination of the height and elasticity of a C- or U-shaped elastic bracket with the flexibility of a shape memory sponge makes it uncomfortable for the user to wear the appropriate neck pillow and when the head is tilted backwards. I don't feel it. The user rotates the neck pillow by himself and moves it to a comfortable position according to the environment and needs. The size of the support bracket 02 of the bracket body and its three-dimensional shape are designed after adjustment based on a plurality of studies and tests. Although some ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the support bracket 02, the ventilation holes are not only advantageous for the flow of air in the neck pillow during storage and recovery of the neck pillow, but also the shape memory sponge and the support bracket 02. It also increases the contact surface and frictional force of the neck pillow, thus increasing the support strength for the lower jaw and neck when using the neck pillow.

The edge of the support bracket 02 and the shape memory sponge come into contact with each other to form a gap in the intermediate recessed portion of the support bracket 02, that is, the concave groove 21. The edges combine with the elasticity of the elastic bracket 01 to effectively secure the bracket to the contact position with the shape memory sponge, and the neck pillow uses the elasticity more effectively to secure it in the proper position on the neck.

In addition, when the conventional shape memory sponge neck pillow is stored, the shape memory sponge is wound while being compressed (air is discharged by compression, and the shape memory sponge is thinly deformed and stored in the storage pocket), so that the control is complicated and time is required. It takes. When the conventional shape memory sponge neck pillow is taken out and used, it takes a long time to completely recover to the original used state. However, since a gap is formed between the intermediate recessed portion of the support bracket 02 in the neck pillow and the shape memory sponge, when the support bracket 02 is folded inward, the shape memory sponge is deformed by compression and enters the gap. Although it is filled, the filled shape memory sponge has a sufficient amount of air remaining, and when it is used after storage, the time for the shape memory sponge to recover to the used state is greatly reduced.

Compared to conventional shape memory sponge neck pillows, this neck pillow uses less shape memory sponge material in manufacturing because the indwelling bracket provides extra elasticity and support strength. Therefore, it is possible to provide sufficient support strength and stability while being small and lightweight.

The inwardly placed bracket provides extra elasticity so that the present invention can effectively secure the neck pillow to the user's neck when wearing the neck pillow. It is very convenient and quick to put on and take off, as it does not need to be secured with drawstrings and buckles, velcro, hooks, or regular buttons.

The bracket body of the neck pillow provides appropriate bearing capacity to support the weight of the neck, lower jaw and head, but does not interfere with the user's activity and does not make the user feel uncomfortable. The inwardly placed bracket provides elasticity so that the neck pillow effectively contacts the user's neck, providing comfort and sufficient support strength, and increasing safety. Also, in order to provide sufficient elasticity, the neck pillow can be placed and fixed on the neck in one step without using other fixing devices. It is convenient and quick because it is not necessary to release the other fixing device when removing it.

The advantageous effects of the present invention are as follows.
