Automotive headrest coverAutomotive headrest cover description/claimsThe Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20060103195, Automotive headrest cover. Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the field of interior automobile accessories, and more particularly to interior automobile headrest covers with an added foam rubber pillow inside the hood to provide extra support and comfort. The present invention is a cover for the headrest of an automobile seat. The cover includes padding to improve driver comfort. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Description of Related Art [0002] Prior art has developed various examples of after-market headrest covers designed for the easy and inexpensive customization of your automobile. Customization of the interior of a vehicle was previously a costly undertaking requiring the removal and reconstruction of the seat itself so that the seat cover or headrest could be sewn on. Any personalization of these items could turn out to be an expensive and time-consuming enterprise. The development of these embodiments enabled the easy installation or changeability of a car owner's interior design. Previous embodiments were created with different optional automobile manufacturer's logos embroidered into the headrest for the purpose of personalizing your car's interior. These embodiments could be constructed from a variety of materials identical to the fabric of the chosen manufacturer and matching the manufacturers logo. [0003] Prior art was also designed for easy installation and removal, and could be secured onto the headrest or seat with a variety of novel closure systems. Said systems included the employment of Velcro hooks and loops, zippers, buttons, and/or snaps. When these methods of attachment were properly utilized, the headrest cover would be effectively secured onto the seat or headrest, and the closure system itself would become virtually undetectable. [0004] U.S. Pat. No. 5,628,545 issued on May 13, 1999 to inventors Perthuis et al of France. This patent describes a covering for an automotive seat, not specifically a headrest. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 5,362,129 issued on Nov. 8, 1994 to inventors Y. Itoh and M. Akiyama of Japan. They describe a casing for a particular type of cantilevered headrest. [0006] U.S. Des. 359,192 issued on Jun. 13, 1995 to inventor K. Franklin III of Mobile, Ala. This is a design patent only for a combination backrest and headrest. It is designed to be attached to the front of an automobile seat. [0007] US 2003/164,630 of publication date Sep. 4, 2003 is a recent patent application by inventors K. McKinney and L. Yopp of Gainesville, Fla. They applied for a patent on a headrest cover with a claimed novel closure mechanism. There is no padding in this invention. [0008] PCT application WO9634777, published Jun. 11, 1996, by inventor Scott Junk, describes a headrest cover that is more decorative than functional. [0009] Finally, in Canadian patent CA2020116, published on Dec. 29, 1991, inventor Paul Parliament discloses a washable headrest cover with elasticized closure. Again, no padding is disclosed in this patent. [0010] None of these references, or any others known to be present in the prior art, disclose the invention herein described and presented. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0011] An object of the present invention is to provide protection to an existing headrest and comfort to the user via the enclosed padding inside the front of the headrest cover. [0012] It is a further object of the present invention to protect new headrests or to cover existing old or unsightly headrests. [0013] Another object of the invention is to provide a new look and added comfort to the passenger compartment of an automobile. [0014] Another object of the invention is to provide an easily installed accessory to an automobile seat and headrest. [0015] A further object of the invention is to facilitate the ease of apparent replacement of an automobile seat headrest, or the visible surface thereof. [0016] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a headrest cover that is easily removed for cleaning and/or replacement without the need of tools. [0017] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. DRAWINGS BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0018] FIG. 1 displays a front view of the present embodiment, as it would appear covering an existing headrest. The headrest is shown in dashed lines, and is not part of the present invention. Continue reading about Automotive headrest cover...
