Headrest

A seat comprising:

• a headrest portion comprising:
• a center portion;
• a first wing member hingedly coupled to said center portion by a first hinge mechanism;
• a second wing member hingedly coupled to said center portion by a second hinge mechanism, wherein said first hinge mechanism and said second hinge mechanism each has sufficient friction to maintain any of a plurality of positions under a load of a human head leaning against respectively said first and second wing members, and each of said first and second hinge mechanisms to yield when a greater load is applied

A headrest comprising:

• a support portion comprising:
• a support bar extending in a first direction;
• a first vertically extending end portion comprising a first foot coupled to said support bar, said first foot having a first bore;
• a second vertically extending end portion comprising a second foot coupled to said support bar, said second foot having a second bore;
• a first wing having a first axial rod press-fit into said first bore to form a first friction hinge, said first wing being positioned above said first foot portion and being rotatable three hundred and sixty degrees;
• a second wing having a second axial rod press-fit into said second bore to form a second friction hinge, said second wing being positioned above said second foot portion and being rotatable three hundred and sixty degrees.

A headrest comprising:

• a first wing member;
• a second wing member
• a center member;
• a first hinge mechanism to allow horizontal pivotal motion between said first wing member and said center member, said first hinge mechanism also rotating upwardly when folded inwardly toward said center member in a headrest folded position;
• a second hinge mechanism to allow horizontal pivotal motion between said second wing member and said center member, said second hinge mechanism also rotating downwardly when folded inwardly toward said center member in said headrest folded position.

A headrest comprising:

• a first wing member;
• a second wing member;
• a center member having a yielding portion;
• a first hinge mechanism to allow pivotal motion between said first wing member and said center member, said first hinge mechanism having sufficient friction to maintain any of a plurality of positions under a load of a human head leaning against said first wing member, said first hinge mechanism to yield when a greater load is applied;
• a second hinge mechanism to allow pivotal motion between said second wing member and said center member, said second hinge mechanism having sufficient friction to maintain any of a plurality of positions under the load of the human head leaning against said second wing member, said first hinge mechanism to yield when the greater load is applied.

A headrest comprising:

• a first wing member;
• a center member;
• a hinge mechanism to allow hinging motion between said first wing member and said center member, said hinge mechanism having sufficient friction to maintain any of a plurality of positions under a load of a human head leaning against said first wing member, said hinge mechanism to yield when a greater load is applied;
• a pivot to allow said first wing member to rotate upwardly.

A stretcher comprising:

• a flat portion;
• a first wing member;
• a second wing member;
• a first hinge mechanism to allow pivotal motion between said first wing member and said flat portion, said first hinge mechanism having sufficient friction to maintain any of a plurality of positions under a load of a human head leaning against said first wing member, said first hinge mechanism to yield when a greater load is applied;
• a second hinge mechanism aligned parallel to said first hinge mechanism, said second hinge mechanism to allow pivotal motion between said second wing member and said flat portion, said second hinge mechanism having sufficient friction to maintain any of a second plurality of positions under the load of the human head leaning against said second wing member, said second hinge mechanism to yield when the greater load is applied.
