Abstract
A pair of symmetrical pillow members each have an enlarged lower portion and a narrowing upper portion with a strap extending from a top end. The straps of the two pillow members are releasably attachable to one another, behind the headrest of an automobile seat, to adjustably position and support the pillow members on the opposite sides of the head of a person occupying the seat. In a preferred embodiment, the pillow members are structured to extend over the seat occupant's shoulders with the lower portions converging towards one another, thereby allowing the person to rest their head to the left or right side. The pillow members are adjustably positionable to accommodate for the size of the individual, ranging from children to large adults.
Description
- This Application is a continuation patent application of co-pending patent application Ser. No. 11/051,935 filed on Feb. 3, 2005 which claimed the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/541,988 filed on Feb. 5, 2004.
- This invention relates to pillow rests for traveling and, more particularly, to a travel pillow device which is supported around the headrest of a vehicle seat and which includes a pair of releasably attachable pillow members that extend around the seat headrest and over a persons shoulders, on opposite sides of the head, thereby allowing the person to tilt their head slightly to the left or right so that the side of their head rests comfortably on one of the pillow members.
- When traveling in a car or airplane, and particularly when traveling longer distances, passengers sometimes like to take a nap or simply rest comfortably. The seats in an automobile or airplane, while typically made for general comfort and safety of passengers, are not ideally suited for napping or relaxing for extended periods of time. While the headrest of an automobile seat is generally suited for comfort and safety while seated upright and looking forward, there is no provision for comfortably supporting the head when leaning to the side in a resting or napping position. In many instances, passengers in automobiles fall asleep with their head resting against the side window or door casing. Not surprisingly, most passengers do not stay in this position very long due to the resulting discomfort. Also, when the vehicle passenger first begins to fall asleep, and the neck muscles relax, the lack of sufficient head and neck support sometimes results in a sudden bobbing and jerking of the head which wakes the passenger.
- In an attempt to overcome the problems of discomfort when traveling as a passenger in an automobile or airplane, some people place a small pillow to the side of their head. And, while use of a pillow is certainly more comfortable than resting one's head against the window or door structure, it is often difficult to maintain the pillow in comfortable position. Usually, as the person moves their head, the pillow falls and must be repositioned for comfort. The constant need to adjust and reposition the pillow can be annoying and will, in most instances, disrupt the person's rest.
- Accordingly, their remains an urgent need in the field of travel for a pillow device which is particularly adapted for use on an automobile seat and which will remain in adjusted position while allowing a passenger to selectively rest their head to the right or left side without having to reposition the pillow.
- The present invention is directed to a travel pillow which includes a pair of symmetrical pillow members. Each pillow member has an enlarged lower portion and an upper portion which narrows towards a top end. A strap extends from the top end of each pillow member and is structured and disposed for adjustable attachment to the corresponding strap of the other pillow member. In a preferred embodiment, hook and loop fasteners are provided on the straps for adjustable and releasable attachment of the straps. In use, the straps are secured behind the headrest of an automobile seat to adjustably position and support the pillow members on the opposite sides of the head of a person occupying the seat. The pillow members are structured to extend over the user's shoulders, with the lower portions converging towards one another and below the user's chin. The pillow members are adjustably positionable to accommodate for variations in individual user size, ranging from smaller children to larger adults.
- Considering the foregoing, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a travel pillow which allows a user to comfortably rest their head, to the left or right side, while the pillow remains in an adjusted position.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a travel pillow which is adapted for use in virtually any make and model automobile, and wherein the travel pillow is specifically structured to be supported about the headrest of a seat in an automobile.
- It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a travel pillow which is specifically structured to allow a person to comfortably rest their head when traveling in an automobile, and wherein the travel pillow is adapted for use by individuals of all ages, ranging from young children to large adults.
- It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a travel pillow which is structured to be supported about the headrest of an automobile seat, and wherein the position of the travel pillow relative to the headrest and user is adjustable to accommodate for personal preference, comfort and the size of the individual.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are more readily apparent with reference to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- For a fuller understanding of the nature of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating use of the travel pillow of the present invention on an automobile seat; -
FIG. 2 is a top perspective view illustrating the manner of releasable and adjustable attachment of the left and right pillow members; -
