摘要：
A head support is described. The head support has a foldable longitudinal middle section, configured to be folded between different user positions, and a first supporting section connected to a first distal extremity of the middle section. The first supporting section has a foldable flat surface palm section, at least 2 foldable longitudinal finger sections extending from a distal extremity of the flat surface palm section and a foldable longitudinal thumb section extending from a lateral side of the foldable flat palm surface. A method for supporting a head of a user is also described.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed in this patent is the discomfort and potential danger to a person's head during transportation, specifically the lack of a suitable headrest that doesn't cause unnatural positioning or discomfort. The invention aims to provide an easy way to support the head while maintaining the person in a tied position. Various existing solutions such as cushioning, fastening elements, and mechanical hands have been reviewed and the present invention offers a unique solution to this problem.
技术功效语段：
The patent describes a head support that can be folded up for different user positions. The support has a middle section and two supporting sections, each with a foldable flat surface palm section, three foldable longitudinal finger sections, and a foldable longitudinal thumb section. The middle section has at least two foldable rods, and each finger section has at least one foldable rod. The support can be adjusted to different user positions by folding the middle section and placing the supporting sections around the user's head. The technical effect of this invention is a comfortable and adjustable head support for users in various positions.
权利要求：
1. A head support (1) comprising: a foldable longitudinal middle section (10), configured to be folded between different user positions; and a first supporting section (20) connected to a first distal extremity (101) of the middle section (10), the first supporting section (20) comprising a foldable flat surface palm section (210) connected to the first distal extremity (101) of the middle section (10), at least two foldable longitudinal finger sections (220) extending from a distal extremity (201) of the flat surface palm section (210), and a foldable longitudinal thumb section (230) extending from a lateral side (204) of the foldable flat palm surface (210), the head support (1) being characterized in that each of the middle section (10) and the foldable flat surface palm section (210) comprises at least two foldable longitudinal rods (11), and that each of the at least two foldable longitudinal finger sections (220) comprises at least one foldable longitudinal rod (23) attached to and extending from each of the at least two foldable longitudinal rods (11) of the foldable flat surface palm section (210).
2. The head support (1) of claim 1, further comprising: a second supporting section (20) connected to a second distal extremity (102) of the middle section (10), the second supporting section (20) comprising a foldable flat surface palm section (210) connected to the second distal extremity (102) of the middle section (10), at least two foldable longitudinal finger sections (220) extending from a distal extremity (202) of the flat surface palm section (210), and a foldable longitudinal thumb section (230) extending from a lateral side (204) of the foldable flat palm surface (210).
3. The head support (1) of claim 1 or 2, wherein the middle section (10) further comprises at least one connector (12) configured for keeping the longitudinal rods (11) of such middle section (10) at a set distance from one another.
4. The head support (1) of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the foldable flat surface palm section (210) further comprises at least one connector (16) configured for keeping the longitudinal rods (11) of such foldable flat surface palm section (210) at a set distance from one another.
5. The head support (1) of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the supporting section (20) further comprises a third foldable longitudinal finger section (220) extending from a distal extremity (201) of the flat surface palm section (210).
6. The head support (1) of claim 5, the head support (1) being characterized in that each of the middle section (10) and the foldable flat surface palm section (210) comprises a third foldable longitudinal rod (11).
7. The head support (1) of claim 6, the head support (1) being characterized in that the third foldable longitudinal finger section (220) comprises at least one foldable longitudinal rod (23) attached to and extending from the third foldable longitudinal rod (11) of the foldable flat surface palm section (210).
8. The head support (1) of any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the foldable longitudinal thumb section (230) comprises at least one foldable longitudinal rod (23) attached substantially perpendicular to at least two of the foldable longitudinal rods (11) of the foldable flat surface palm section (210).
9. The head support (1) of any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the longitudinal rods (11) extend through a malleable material.
10. A method for supporting a head of a user, the method comprising the steps of: providing a head support (1) according to claim 1, comprising a foldable longitudinal middle section (10), and a supporting section (20) connected to each distal extremity (101, 102) of the middle section (10), each supporting section (20) comprising a foldable flat surface palm section (210) connected to each distal extremity (101, 102) of the middle section (10), at least two foldable longitudinal finger sections (220) extending from a distal extremity (201, 202) of the flat surface palm section (210), and a foldable longitudinal thumb section (230) extending from a lateral side (204) of the foldable flat palm surface (210); deforming the middle section (10) and folding one supporting section (20) of the head support (1) around a body of the user; placing another supporting section (20) of the head support (1) around the head of the user.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein each of the two supporting sections (20) further comprises a third foldable longitudinal finger section (230) extending from a distal extremity (201, 202) of the flat surface palm section (210).
