Abstract
An improved aftermarket headrest which is maintained in an operative position without the aid of screws, bolts, clips and/or mounting brackets and without any modification of a vehicle seat or body. The headrest includes a unitary resilient body having an upper head supporting part, a lower placement maintaining part, a substantially horizontal and planar face separating the upper and lower parts, and a substantially vertical and planar back surface. The headrest is placed and maintained in an operative position by squeezing the lower part of the headrest between an upper portion of a seat-back and an adjacent portion of a vehicle body.
Claims10
A headrest for use with a seatback located adjacent a substantially vertical surface, comprising:
- upper means for supporting the head of a user at a selected position above the seatback and cushioning the head of the user against direct impact with the vertical surface,
- lower means for maintaining the position of the upper means during use and providing for quick and easy placement and removal of said headrest with respect to said seatback,
- said upper and lower means each consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a rounded edge truncated right triangle cross section.
A headrest for use with a seatback located adjacent a substantially vertical surface, comprising:
- upper means for supporting the head of a user at a selected position above the seatback and cushioning the head of the user against direct impact with the vertical surface,
- lower means for maintaining the position of the upper means during use and providing for quick and easy placement and removal of said headrest with respect to said seatback,
- said lower means consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a plurality of truncated right triangles in cross section.
A headrest for use with a seatback located adjacent a substantially vertical surface, comprising:
- upper means for supporting the head of a user and cushioning the head of the user against direct impact with the vertical surface;
- lower means for maintaining the position of the upper means during use and providing for quick and easy placement and removal of said headrest with respect to said seatback;
- said lower means consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a rectangular cross section said upper means consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a truncated right triangle cross section and said upper and lower means forming a single unitary body.
A headrest for use with a seatback located adjacent a substantially vertical surface, comprising:
- upper means for cushioning the head of the user against direct impact with the vertical surface;
- lower means for maintaining the position of the upper means during use and providing for quick and easy placement and removal of said headrest with respect to said seatback;
- said lower means consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a parallelogram cross section said upper means consisting essentially of a resilient foam body having a truncated right triangle cross section and said upper and lower means forming a single unitary body.
