Definitions
- the invention relates to a rest-supporting device with an inflatable supporting part which is of generally cuboidal configuration and to which straps serving for fastening to a user's body are attached.
- an inflatable neck/head supporting cushion as a supporting device for the head on journeys, for example in motor vehicles, but also in airplanes.
- the neck supporting cushion customarily has a U-shape in top view, and therefore the head is not only supported in the region at the back of the head but also laterally.
- the head is only inadequately supported by the cushion, and the particular persons upper body has to be kept in the correct upright position.
- a further difficulty in airplanes is that the seat rows are extremely narrow, and therefore supporting the upper body on the front side of the body is virtually out of the question; in addition, the seat backs, which are moveable only to a very limited extent, in airplanes frequently also get in the way.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,185 discloses a cuboidal inflatable cushion which serves to support the head and, in the process, rests on the particular persons thighs.
- the interior of the cuboidal inflatable cushion is provided with walls which are intended to stabilize the cushion during the supporting of the head.
- the cushion is configured as a single part, which is disadvantageous in terms of hygiene, since the cushion cannot simply be cleaned on the outside.
- Both cushion devices furthermore have straps for fastening to the user's body.
- the rest-supporting device according to the invention with an inflatable supporting part is distinguished in that the supporting part is formed by an outer covering and at least one inflatable cushion accommodated in the interior of the covering.
- the inflatable supporting part is of a generally cuboidal configuration, wherein the dimensions of the supporting part can be proportioned in such a manner that the supporting part can also easily be used in the event of narrow seat rows, as in airplanes.
- the cuboidal supporting part may have a height of approximately 40 cm, a width of approximately 20 cm and a depth of approximately 15-20 cm.
- other sizes are also conceivable, depending on the height of the person (whether a child, adult, etc.).
- Generally cuboidal is to be understood here as also meaning configurations of the supporting part that differ from an exactly cuboidal configuration, with exactly rectangular, flat subsurfaces and right angles, i.e. it is entirely possible, for example, for there to be somewhat concave surfaces (above all on the side facing the user) or convex surfaces, and a configuration tapering, for example, from the bottom upward, etc.; it is merely important that a supporting part is provided in the manner of a “block surface” for supporting the forearms and head.
- the particular person can be supported with the forearms and with the head on the top side of the block supporting part, with relatively pleasant sleeping also being possible.
- the supporting part By the supporting part being fastened to the user's body with the aid of the straps, the supporting part also remains securely in its position, i.e. it cannot slip laterally or forward, and therefore secure supporting of the head and arms is possible.
- the supporting part rests with the bottom side thereof on the user's thighs.
- the supporting part is formed with an outer covering and at least one inflatable cushion accommodated in the interior of the covering. This enables the outer covering to be separately cleaned, in particular washed, which would scarcely be possible if the supporting part were directly an inflatable cushion composed of a tight rubber material, without a removable covering.
- An advantageous embodiment is furthermore distinguished in that at least that side of the covering which is on top in the use position is coated with a sweat-reducing material, for example is flocked.
- the covering is expediently composed of an elastic textile fabric.
- each inflatable cushion has an inflation valve which is on the bottom side in the use position of the supporting part. This avoids annoying parts, namely inflation valves, on the top side where, for example, a head rests by the cheek.
- That side of the covering which is at the bottom in the use position of the supporting part preferably has an access opening.
- the opening can be closeable and can be of a size sufficient for the cushion or the cushions to be able to be removed downward out of the covering.
- a compressible pillow for example in the form of a foam sheet, is attached on that side of the supporting part which is on top in the use position.
- the compressible pillow is attached within the covering, above the cushion or the cushions, for example is stitched to the top side of the covering.
- a back strap which can be positioned under a user's shoulders may also be provided.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the priority, under 35 U.S.C. §119, of Austrian application GM 124/2011, filed Mar. 4, 2011; the prior application is herewith incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The invention relates to a rest-supporting device with an inflatable supporting part which is of generally cuboidal configuration and to which straps serving for fastening to a user's body are attached.
- It is known to use an inflatable neck/head supporting cushion as a supporting device for the head on journeys, for example in motor vehicles, but also in airplanes. The neck supporting cushion customarily has a U-shape in top view, and therefore the head is not only supported in the region at the back of the head but also laterally. However, the head is only inadequately supported by the cushion, and the particular persons upper body has to be kept in the correct upright position.
- A further difficulty in airplanes is that the seat rows are extremely narrow, and therefore supporting the upper body on the front side of the body is virtually out of the question; in addition, the seat backs, which are moveable only to a very limited extent, in airplanes frequently also get in the way.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,042,185 discloses a cuboidal inflatable cushion which serves to support the head and, in the process, rests on the particular persons thighs. The interior of the cuboidal inflatable cushion is provided with walls which are intended to stabilize the cushion during the supporting of the head. The cushion is configured as a single part, which is disadvantageous in terms of hygiene, since the cushion cannot simply be cleaned on the outside.
- International patent disclosure WO 2007/068950, corresponding to U.S. patent publication No. 2009/0283557, furthermore discloses a cushion device, in which there is a supporting or carrier unit which is not inflatable but carries an inflatable small chin supporting cushion. The supporting cushion can be removed from the carrying unit, a touch and close connecting device, for example, being provided for this purpose.
- Both cushion devices furthermore have straps for fastening to the user's body.
- It is an object of the invention to propose a supporting device with an inflatable supporting part, which supporting device provides a high degree of comfort, especially when the supporting of the upper body and head in airplanes is involved, and which, at the same time, is positionally stable and permits good support even in the event of narrow seat rows; furthermore, the supporting device is intended to satisfy adequate hygiene requirements and permit simple cleaning of the outside.
- Accordingly, the rest-supporting device according to the invention with an inflatable supporting part, as indicated at the beginning, is distinguished in that the supporting part is formed by an outer covering and at least one inflatable cushion accommodated in the interior of the covering.
- In the present supporting device, the inflatable supporting part is of a generally cuboidal configuration, wherein the dimensions of the supporting part can be proportioned in such a manner that the supporting part can also easily be used in the event of narrow seat rows, as in airplanes. For example, the cuboidal supporting part may have a height of approximately 40 cm, a width of approximately 20 cm and a depth of approximately 15-20 cm. Of course, other sizes are also conceivable, depending on the height of the person (whether a child, adult, etc.).
- “Generally cuboidal” is to be understood here as also meaning configurations of the supporting part that differ from an exactly cuboidal configuration, with exactly rectangular, flat subsurfaces and right angles, i.e. it is entirely possible, for example, for there to be somewhat concave surfaces (above all on the side facing the user) or convex surfaces, and a configuration tapering, for example, from the bottom upward, etc.; it is merely important that a supporting part is provided in the manner of a “block surface” for supporting the forearms and head.
- During use, the particular person can be supported with the forearms and with the head on the top side of the block supporting part, with relatively pleasant sleeping also being possible. By the supporting part being fastened to the user's body with the aid of the straps, the supporting part also remains securely in its position, i.e. it cannot slip laterally or forward, and therefore secure supporting of the head and arms is possible. The supporting part rests with the bottom side thereof on the user's thighs.
- For hygiene reasons, the supporting part is formed with an outer covering and at least one inflatable cushion accommodated in the interior of the covering. This enables the outer covering to be separately cleaned, in particular washed, which would scarcely be possible if the supporting part were directly an inflatable cushion composed of a tight rubber material, without a removable covering.
- If two inflatable cushions are accommodated in the covering, a natural indentation is produced on the top side of the supporting part in the region of the intersection between the two cushions when supporting the head, the indentation providing additional comfort for the support.
- In order, during use, to prevent the two cushions from slipping in relation to each other which, under some circumstances, can have an adverse effect on this comfort, it is furthermore favorable if the two cushions are connected to each other on the mutually facing surfaces thereof, for example by adhesive bonding. Connection by Velcro tapes (hook and loop tapes) or the like would also be conceivable.
- An advantageous embodiment is furthermore distinguished in that at least that side of the covering which is on top in the use position is coated with a sweat-reducing material, for example is flocked.
- In order, first, to enable the covering to be attached over the cushion or the cushions and, furthermore, to enable simple cleaning, the covering is expediently composed of an elastic textile fabric.
- In order to optimize the comfort during the use of the supporting part, it is also advantageous if each inflatable cushion has an inflation valve which is on the bottom side in the use position of the supporting part. This avoids annoying parts, namely inflation valves, on the top side where, for example, a head rests by the cheek.
- In order to be able easily to accommodate the cushion or the cushions in the covering and in order optionally to obtain simple access to the particular inflation valve, that side of the covering which is at the bottom in the use position of the supporting part preferably has an access opening. The opening can be closeable and can be of a size sufficient for the cushion or the cushions to be able to be removed downward out of the covering.
- In order additionally to increase the comfort when laying and supporting the head thereon, it is furthermore also favorable if a compressible pillow, for example in the form of a foam sheet, is attached on that side of the supporting part which is on top in the use position.
- In order to prevent slipping of the compressible pillow, it is expedient if the compressible pillow is attached within the covering, above the cushion or the cushions, for example is stitched to the top side of the covering.
- For secure “positioning” of the supporting part, it is favorable if two shoulder straps and a lap belt are provided. Furthermore, a back strap which can be positioned under a user's shoulders may also be provided.
- Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
- Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a rest-supporting device, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
