Portable Head Rest With Storage Container
Patent Number: US 9058023 Grant Date: 2015-06-16 Filing Date: 2013-06-30
Overview
This patent, filed June 30, 2013 and granted June 16, 2015, protects a thoughtfully engineered portable head rest that combines ergonomic support with integrated storage and modular accessories. Inventors based in Houston, TX developed a head rest assembly whose non-parallel top and bottom surfaces create an adjustable tilted surface to accommodate multiple resting configurations. The claimed design integrates an upper and lower portion joined by a hinge, a secure latch, and a compartment sized and arranged for use as a lunch box or general storage. Removable, sanitized pads attach with hook-and-loop fasteners, and a detachable handle and multi-foot base deliver balanced portability and stable placement. A slide-in timer housed in a guided slot with a stopper exemplifies attention to user-focused details. Our firm’s drafting emphasizes clear claim scope and practical mounting and retention features to support enforceable protection across configurations and materials.
Key Features
- Adjustable slope top surface for varied ergonomic positions
- Integrated compartment adaptable as a lunch box or storage cavity
- Detachable pads and handle secured by hook-and-loop and fastening apertures
- Hinge-and-latch construction with anti-rock feet for stability
- Removable timer in a guided slot with stopper for secure attachment
By securing claims on both functional arrangement and accessory interfaces, the patent positions the invention for adoption in workplace, travel, and consumer ergonomics markets. The protection underscores the technical and commercial relevance of modular comfort solutions.
