Abstract
The invention provides a combination of a portable headrest and sunshade, comprising a frame member (1, 2, 3), a headrest (13) supported and at least partly surrounded by the frame member, and an adjustable sunshade (14) supported by at least one strut (5, 6, 8, 9) hinged to the frame member so that the sunshade can be spaced apart from the headrest in use or positioned close to the headrest when the latter is to be carried.
Description
- This invention relates to a portable headrest and more particularly to a combination of a portable headrest and sunshade.
- The invention provides a combination of a portable headrest and sunshade, comprising a frame member, a headrest supported and at least partly surrounded by the frame member, and an adjustable sunshade supported by at least one strut hinged to the frame member so that the sunshade can be spaced apart from the headrest in use or positioned close to the headrest when the latter is to be carried.
- It is preferred that the headrest is in the form of an inflatable pillow. The pillow is inflated when the headrest is in use and deflated when the headrest is to be carried.
- It is also preferred that a carrier bag be supported by the frame member in face-to- face relationship with the headrest.
- Reference is now made to the accompanying drawings showing a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the article in use as a combined headrest and sunshade;
- Figure 2 is a side elevation corresponding to Figure 1 viewed from the left-hand side; and
- Figure 3 is a view of the article folded up for use as a carrier bag.
- The construction has three frame members. The first frame member comprises a cross piece 1 and two
limbs limbs - Close to the end of each limb a hole is bored parallel to the respective cross piece for receiving a screw threaded bolt. The second frame member is dimensioned so that it can fit closely around the outside of the first frame member, i.e. the
limbs 5, 6 then being respectively adjacent the outside of thelimbs cross piece 4 adjacent the outside of the cross piece 1, and in this position the holes in the second frame member are in register with the holes in the first frame member. Similarly, the third frame member is dimensioned to fit closely around the outside of the second frame member, the holes in the third frame member then being in register with the holes in the second frame member. With the holes in register as described above, a screw threadedmetal bolt 10 is passed from the inner side through the holes in the ends of thelimbs wing nut 11. Similarly, a bolt is passed through the holes in the ends of thelimbs wing nut 12. Alternatively, a screw threaded bolt with a winged head can be passed through the holes from the outside to effect fixing in the same way. When the wing nuts or bolts are slightly loosened, the three frame members can be hingedly adjusted to any position relative to each other, and then fixed in such position by tightening the wing nuts or bolts. - A generally
rectangular carrier bag 13 is supported by the first frame member, the side edges of the bag being fixed to the inner sides of thelimbs limbs limbs bag 13 is looped. When the bag is carried (Figure 3) the pillow is normally deflated. When it is desired to use the article as a headrest, the pillow is inflated and the article placed on a generally flat surface (Figure 1). - A generally
rectangular sunshade 14 is made of suitably flexible fabric, with two opposing edges being looped respectively over thecross pieces cross pieces cross pieces - The sunshade provides a surface which is particularly suitable for the application of advertising slogans and the like.
Claims (5)
1. A combination of a portable headrest and sunshade, comprising a frame member, a headrest supported and at least partly surrounded by the frame member, and an adjustable sunshade supported by at least one strut hinged to the frame member so that the sunshade can be spaced apart from the headrest in use or positioned close to the headrest when the latter is to be carried.
2. A combination according to claim 1, in which the headrest is in the form of an inflatable pillow.
3. A combination according to claim 1 or 2, also comprising a carrier bag supported by the frame member in face-to- face relationship with the headrest.
4. A combination according to claims 2 and 3, in which the inflatable pillow is accommodated inside the carrier bag.
5. A combination according to any of claims 1 to 4, comprising a first rectangular frame member which supports the head rest, pivot points defined at opposite ends of one side of the first frame member, a second rectangular frame member comprising two lateral struts hingedly mounted at one end respectively to the pivot points and joined at their other ends by a cross member, and a third rectangular frame member constructed and arranged similarly to the second rectangular frame member, the sunshade being fixed at opposing sides to the respective cross members, and frictional engagement means being provided at the pivot points to enable the frame members to be fixed in different positions relative to each other.
