Description

The proposed utility model relates to a device for improving comfort on long trips, in particular, to support the head of a child sitting in a car seat, etc., to ensure a comfortable position during sleep in transport.

Traveling by car, bus, train, plane, bike or boat, the child spends a lot of time sitting in a chair. During long trips, especially, but sometimes during short trips, it is advisable for the child to sit in a comfortable position, allowing him to sleep. If a sitting child falls asleep in an uncomfortable position, his head may fall sharply to one side or forward, which may cause him to wake up. In this case, the slightest collision of the car increases the likelihood of damage to the cervical vertebrae. But sitting all the time in the same position is also uncomfortable. It is advisable that you can turn your head, as well as move forward or backward on the seat.

The proposed device, which is easy to use, significantly improves the quality of travel on transport with a child - the whole family will forget about the stress during travel, and the children will be awake and rested upon arrival.

There are various technical solutions in this area.

So, the US patent for invention No. 4182322 is known (published. 08/01/1980). The patent describes a special headrest, which is used when transporting people injured in accidents. The headrest fixes the head from the sides and back, and in front special straps hold the forehead and chin.

Known US patent for the invention No. 4707031 (published. 17.11.1987). The seat belt is fixed around the back of the chair, and its length can be adjusted using a buckle. The neck of the head belt is sewn to the front of the seat belt. The length of the head belt can be adjusted using fasteners, such as Velcro. To further limit the movement of the head to the sides, the head restraint contains neck straps attached on both sides from the head to the frontal part of the head belt and to the front of the seat belt.

A disadvantage of the known device is that the head is practically fixed in one position, which over time begins to cause inconvenience, since it is desirable for a sleeping person to change the position of the body, for example, turn from one side to the other. Naturally, the head can also move. Another drawback is that when the sleeping person slowly slides forward along the seat cushion, the head belt attached with the neck to the seat belt will slide up the back of the head and slide off the head so that it no longer holds its head.

Known CN application for utility model No. 201932113 (published. 08/17/2011). The seat belt for fixing the head of a sleeping person in a sitting position during the trip fixes the forehead and is attached to the back of the seat.

A device for increasing comfort on trips (see RU patent for invention No. 2532148, IPC А47С 7/38, published. 10.27.2014), which is the closest in combination of essential features to the proposed utility model, and is selected as a prototype. The headrest for relaxing the muscles of the neck and throat of a seated person comprises a head belt for placement around the person’s head, a seat belt for attachment to a part of the back of the chair, and a neck strap connecting the frontal part of the head belt to the seat belt. The head belt is mounted with the possibility of displacement in the longitudinal direction of the neck strap.

A common drawback of all known solutions is the complexity of the designs.

The purpose of the utility model is to eliminate the disadvantages of the known devices.

Thus, the technical problem that currently exists is the complexity of the known designs; moreover, not a single analogue is known that is aimed directly at the children's audience. The creation of the proposed technical solution is aimed at solving this technical problem, namely, to create a simplified device design to increase the comfort of children traveling.

The technical result is to simplify the design, as well as to ensure safety during traffic, while ensuring comfort and ease of use.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the device for improving travel comfort, holding the head of a seated person in an upright position and containing a belt fastened around the upper part of the back of the chair, according to a utility model, contains a bandage for the forehead sewn on the sides of the belt, emergency fastening in the form Velcro fasteners made on the belt and retaining rings that are worn on the belt and fastened to the chair with Velcro fasteners. The belt contains a carbine at its ends and is made of tensile material, and the bandage is made of high-quality soft material. The device may also contain two belts arranged in parallel, for more durable mounting relative to the chair.

The essence of the proposed utility model is illustrated by the following figures:

FIG. 1, which shows a front view of the proposed device, mounted on a chair and holding the child’s head;

FIG. 2, which shows the mounting of the device to the back of a car seat;

FIG. 3, on which a retaining ring is presented, by means of which the bandage is kept from sliding on the chair;

FIG. 4, which shows the belt with a carabiner, where:

1 - belt with a carbine;

2 - a bandage for a forehead;

3-ring;

4 - Velcro;

5 - emergency mount.

The device for improving travel comfort includes a belt 1 with a carabiner for attaching to the upper part of the back of the chair, a forehead bandage 2 sewn to the belt 1, emergency fastening 5, and retaining rings 3 that are worn on the belt 1 and fastened to the back or sides to transport chair with velcro fasteners 4.

Emergency mount 5 is a Velcro fastener on the side of the belt. In the event of an accident, the bandage softens the blow and keeps the head from a sharp jerk, and then either flies up or is unfastened with emergency fastening.

Belt 1 is made of tensile material.

Dressing 2 is made of high-quality soft material (for example, 100% cotton with soft filler 3D AirMesh), which has permission for use in children's products. The bandage 2 can have a colorful print, which immediately puts children to the proposed device.

Installation of rings 3 on the transport seat.

Put on the device at the level of the forehead of a child or adult, fasten the carabiner at the back, move the rings 3 back or on the sides of the transport chair, remember the location of the rings 3, unfasten the carabiner, remove the paper from the Velcro 4, fasten the rings 3 to the chair.

The proposed device provides the possibility of partial movement of the child’s head within a fixed state.

A device for improving travel comfort is a certified novelty in the Russian market from a Russian manufacturer (ISO 9001-2011 certificate). At the slightest collision of the car, the device softens the blow and minimizes the likelihood of damage to the cervical vertebrae, as it reliably fixes the position of the child’s head.

Thus, the proposed device for increasing comfort on trips has improved technical characteristics compared to known structures, namely, it has a simplified design, and also provides safety when driving while ensuring comfort and ease of use.
