CAR-SEAT REST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 364,900, dated .17 nne 14, 1887.

Application filed August 2i, E86. Serial No. 211,536.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WALLACE W. OLEAVE- LAND, of Marshall, county of Calhoun, State of Michigan,have invented anew and useful Improvement in Ca r-Seat Rests; and I declare 1 "the following to be a full,-clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification."

My invention has for its object an improved car-seat rest; andit consists of the devices and appliances hereinafter specified, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a View of my improved car-seat rest in elevation without the cover. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cover engaged in place. Fig. 3 is a view showiug the rest folded up, and Fig. 4 is a crosssection of the folded-rest.

My-design is to provide a rest of this sort which may be located at the back of the user and which shall fit to the form easily, and which may also project to form a rest for the head when in a sitting position, or the rest may be located at the end of the seat to enable the oc cupaut to recline with ease thereon.

A and A represent a series of slats of any suitable material united edge to edge, so that the series of slats will be flexible. To accomplish this flexible union of the slats I employ straps B B, engaged with said series of slatsat or near their respective ends. This en gagement I readily accomplish by perforating each slat with an elongated orifice, as shown at b I), through which the strap may be passed, said orifices extending from edge to edge of the slats, or'subs tantially so. Said orifice in the outer slats of the series is preferably made to terminate at one end upon the face of the slat, as shown at b. In the other slats the orifice will extend from edge to edge through the slat, as shown in Fig. 4. The slats being thus united may be readily folded into compact form and are never liable to get out of handle, D, may be conveniently engaged upon the cover of one of the side slats.

E represents straps for securing the package in a folded condition.

F represents a rubber pillow engagedtherewith in any suitable manner.

Thedevice is simple, economical, and when folded may be readily carried about for use. Byterminating the orifice in the outer slats, as shown and described, danger of breakage in consequence of the strain of the strap is obviated.

The ends of the straps may be brought over one face of the slats and united, as shown in the drawings.

That I claim is-.

l. A folding car-seat rest composed of a series of slals placed edge to edge and provided with elongated perforations 1/ near each end extending from edge to edge of the slats, and the straps B B passed through said perforations, substantially as described.

2. A folding car-seat rest composed of a series of slats placed edge to edge and provided near their ends with elongated perforations b, the perforations in the outer slats terminating at one end upon theface of said outer slat, and in the other slats extending through the slat from edge to edge, and the straps B B passed through said perforated slats, substantially as described. v

3. A folding ea'r seat rest composed of the slats A A, placed edge to-edge and provided near their ends with elongated perforations 1), extending from edge to edge of the slats, and the straps B B passed through said perforations and uniting the slats, said folding rest being. provided with a cover, 0, a handle, D, and straps E for securing it when folded, substantially as described.
