I usually take sickness medication to deal with it, but sometimes I forget to take it or sometimes it doesn't work. Motion sickness can sometimes cause drunk not only people who are physically and physiologically sick but also people who do not usually get drunk. For example, when you are feeling sick or tired, or when you are reading a book or looking at a map in a running car.

[0003]

The cause of motion sickness is
It is said that the semicircular canals that control the physical aspect, that is, the sense of balance, the optic nerves when looking at the moving body, the muscle strength of the neck, etc. are deeply involved, and if the head cannot be stably held against shaking of the vehicle, it is easy to get drunk. It has been medically elucidated. Therefore, if the head is fixed in some way, motion sickness can be prevented. However, such a head fixing device has not existed in the past, and even if it is theoretically known, it cannot be practiced at present. Although a so-called whiplash corrector is used as a substitute, it is made of a hard material and has a bad fit to the neck.It has a large shape and looks bad when worn, which makes it inconvenient to carry when removed. However, it cannot be used as a substitute for motion sickness preventer.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and it is formed of a soft material and has a good fit to the neck, a small shape and a good appearance when worn.
Moreover, it is an object to provide a motion sickness prevention device that is convenient to carry.

As a means for achieving this object, the present invention comprises a cloth belt main body to be wound around a neck, and a cloth cover body having one end sewn to the belt main body. The belt body has a fastener attached to one end so that the belt body can be fastened to the other end, and shape memory alloy members for preventing buckling of the belt body are provided on both sides sandwiching the central portion of the belt body. A vehicle motion sickness preventive tool, which is attached and has a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the other end of the cover body so that the cover body can be fastened to the belt body. In addition, in the motion sickness prevention tool, the belt body has a double structure that combines the mesh time and the towel cloth,
The part that hits the chin when wrapped around the neck is curved downward to form a low height, and the cover body is a double layer consisting of a mesh fabric and a thin fabric with a far-infrared member attached in a polka dot pattern on the surface. The structure is such that pockets that allow the cooling agent to be put in and taken out are formed between the mesh fabric and the thin fabric.When the belt body is wrapped around the neck, a plurality of shape memory alloy members are positioned almost vertically on both sides of the neck. The gist of the invention is that the pockets are formed in the rear part of the neck when the cover body is fixed to the belt body.

Further, between the thin cloth 7b and the mesh cloth 7a is provided a pocket 9 into which a cooling agent (not shown) can be put in and taken out, and by curving the central part of the upper edge of the thin cloth 7b downward to form an edge 9a, the pocket 9 can be taken in and out. There is.

The cover body 7 has a required length and height (width), and the height is almost the same as that of the belt main body 1. As shown in FIG. An outer surface of the belt body 1 is sewn and attached near the end of the engaging cloth 4, and a surface fastener 10 is attached to the inner surface of the other end, that is, the thin cloth 7b side.

In order to use the vehicle motion sickness preventer constructed as described above, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the belt body 1 is wound around the neck, and the surface fastener 2 is attached to the engaging cloth 4 after the neck. Fasten it to the neck and fasten it to the neck. At this time, the central portion 1d of the downwardly curved upper edge contacts the chin.

Next, the hanging cover body 7 is rotated around the neck as shown in FIG. 3 to fix the surface fastener 10 to the end portion of the engaging fabric 3 by fixing it.

In this way, the motion sickness prevention device is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), it can be attached around the neck, and since the head is firmly fixed against the shaking of the vehicle, motion sickness can be prevented.

In this case, since the towel cloth 1b of the belt main body 1 is in contact with the neck, it has a good silky feel, and the lower central edge 1d of the upper edge hits under the chin, so that it feels cramped. Moreover, the wearing feeling is extremely comfortable. In addition, the appearance is only visible to the extent that a bandage is wrapped, so the appearance is good without giving an exaggerated feeling.

As shown in FIG. 4B, since three thin plate-shaped shape memory alloy members 5 and 6 are positioned on both sides of the neck in a substantially vertical direction, the whole is formed of a soft member. Despite this, it is excellent in shape retention because deformation such as buckling is prevented in advance. Therefore, the motion sickness prevention function can be sufficiently exerted.

As shown in FIG. 4C, since the far-infrared member 8 in the form of polka dots is located at the rear part of the neck, it gradually warms up due to the body temperature during wearing, exerting a warming effect and making the user feel comfortable. be able to. Also, when it is hot in the summer or when the inside of the vehicle is too hot due to heating, etc., put a commercially available pack of cooling agent (freeze when cooled in the refrigerator) in the pocket 9 to keep the back part of the neck. It is possible to cool and feel comfortable.

Further, since the whole is made of cloth and is light, it does not feel tired even if it is worn for a long time. Moreover, since a lot of mesh fabric is adopted, the air flow is good, and sweat or swelling occurs. There is no such thing.

After use, the hand is turned backward to grasp the end of the cover body 7 to peel off the hook-and-loop fastener 10 from the engaging cloth 3, and to grasp the end of the belt body 1 to hook the hook-and-loop fastener 2 to the engaging cloth 4. You can easily remove the motion sickness prevention device from your neck by peeling it off.

Since it can be folded into a small size after being removed, it is convenient to carry, and even if the shape memory alloy members 5 and 6 are crushed and bent during carrying or storage.
It can be easily restored to its original state by a predetermined heating means. Also, when it becomes dirty, it can be washed, so that it can be kept clean.
