  • the padded upper plate 254 has the same overall shape as in the first embodiment shown in Fig. 12 , but is separated into a rectangular portion 352 and a head rest portion 354 by a transverse hinge 356 beneath the padding near the shoulder stops 118.
  • Fig. 19 shows the headrest portion 354 in a down position.
  • Fig. 20 shows the headrest portion 354 in a first raised position, with the rod 362 rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise.
  • Fig. 21 shows the headrest portion in a second raised position with the rod 362 rotated an additional 90 degrees counterclockwise.
