Detachable arm cushion for automobile arm rest

Abstract

A portable cushioning accessory for automotive vehicles for cushioning the arm of an occupant of the vehicle resting on the usual arm rest mounted on an inside panel of the vehicle. The accessory includes a cushion having an interior pad of yieldable foamed rubber or synthetic polymer which is elongated to fit on the arm rest surface held within an exterior flexible fabric cover, and anchoring means for anchoring the cushion on the arm rest in the form of two or more anchoring straps, preferably elastic in length, affixed at one end to the cushion at lengthwise spaced apart points along one long side thereof and carrying at their other ends attachment members, e.g. one part of male and female snap fasteners or grippers, for detachable attachment to cooperating attachment members, e.g. the other part of the fasteners or gripers, mounted in a row on the inside vehicle panel above the arm rest at more or less corresponding spaced apart points. Preferably, at least one additional attachment member is provided on the vehicle panel to enable the anchoring strap ends to be shifted between adjacent sets of the panel attachment members and thereby change the position of the cushion lengthwise of the arm rest.
