DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] In the following detailed description, for purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

[0019] Refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show two schematic views of the first embodiment of the present invention from different angles. The present invention provides a fixable sleep-aid cap, which comprises: a hood 1, an affixing set 2 and at least a strap 3.

[0020] The hood 1 comprises 1: a forehead flap 1, an occiput guard 12, a left guard 13 and a right guard 14. The forehead flap 11 and the occiput guard 12 are connected to each other, and the left guard 13 and the right guard 14 extend forward along two sides of the occiput guard 12 respectively, so that the hood 1 forms an accommodating space 15 with a downward opening to accommodate a user's head. The central area of the occiput guard 12 is made of a harder or thicker material to support the overall shape. The forehead flap 11, the left and right guards 13, 14 are made of a soft cloth, and can be folded to attach to the occiput guard 12 in a flat state for easy storage when not in use.

[0021] In the present embodiment, the hood 1 is made of two pieces of cloth. For example, the forehead flap 11 is a single piece of cloth, and the left guard 13, the right guard 14 and the occiput guard 12 are formed of the other cloth. A thicker or harder cloth is added at a part of the occiput guard 12, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the forehead flap 11 and the occiput guard 12 are divided into two pieces in the middle. Each piece comprises a left guard 13 or a right guard 14, respectively, which is relatively simple to manufacture.

[0022] The affixing set 2 is at least one of the Velcro fastener or the rubber soft magnetic piece. In the present embodiment, the Velcro fastener comprises a first adhesive member 21 and a second adhesive member 22. The first adhesive member 21 is a disposed at a side surface near the edge of the left guard 13, and the second adhesive member 22 is disposed at the other side surface near the edge of the right guard 14. When the first adhesive member 21 is attached to the first adhesive member 22, the edges of the left guard 13 and the right guard 14 can be connected and fastened at the user's chin area. In addition, affixing set 2 may also be a rubber soft magnetic piece, which is hidden in the inner lining of the left guard 13 and the right guard 14 by sewing, and is connected by magnetic attraction. In the present invention, when the external force exceeding a threshold is applied, the sticker assembly 2 can release the attachment. As such, in an emergency braking, the left guard 13 and the right guard 14 will be separated, instead of sliding downward to the neck of the user.

[0023] The strap 3 is used for wrapping or engaged to a place to be fixed, and is used for fixing to a headrest of a seat in the present embodiment. The strap 3 is partially engaged to the occiput guard 12. In the present embodiment, the strap 3 is a ring-shaped elastic band, and the strap 3 can be placed directly on the headrest after being stretched to enable easy installation and removal from the seat.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 3, the strap 3A is a long band, and both ends of the band are disposed with a latch mechanism 31 for tying and fixing. The latch mechanism 31 can be a snap button, a quick-release buckle, a Velcro fastener, a tri-glide buckle, a ring buckle, or a tie string. In the present embodiment, the latch mechanism 31 is a quick-release buckle.

[0025] FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the strap 3B. In the previous embodiments, the strap 3, 3A is fixed to the occiput guard 12 horizontally. In the present embodiment, the strap 3B is partially fixed longitudinally to the occiput guard 12. In the present embodiment, the strap 3B is a band-shaped elastic band, and at both ends of the band are disposed with a latch mechanism 31A composed of Velcro fastener. The strap 3B is designed to match the round headrest available inside the car.

[0026] The following is a description of the actual use situation of the present invention: As shown in FIG. 5, the present invention is installed at a seat in a vehicle. Seats in a general transportation vehicle usually are disposed with a headrest 42 in addition to a seat area 41. When the user sits on the seat are 41 to rest, the strap 3 is firstly stretched and is placed on the headrest 42 downward. The strap 3 is fixed to the headrest 42 due to elasticity. The hood 1 is placed over the user's head, and the left guard s13 and the right guard 14 are fixed to the chin of the user through the affixing set. As such, the head of the user is fixed to the headrest 42 so that the head is held in place during the ride when the user rest. Thereby, the sleep quality is improved. In addition, the user can also pull the forehead flap 11 downward to cover the eyes, so that the user can sleep more easily.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 6, when the present invention is not in use, the forehead flap 11, the left guard 13 and the right guard 14 will naturally hang downward and attach to the occiput guard 12 flatly due to the soft cloth material. As such, the present invention does not affect the use of the headrest, and the user can decide either to leave or remove the present invention from the headrest 42.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope of the disclosure being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
