Abstract
A headrest. In one embodiment, the headrest includes a rear head support potion and a wing member. In this embodiment, the wing member is rotatable upwardly and downwardly relative to the rear head support member to allow the wing member to be rotated vertically from a stowed position to a head support position. In this embodiment, the wing member is also pivotable horizontally relative to the rear head support portion.

12. A headrest comprising:
-
a headrest body portion;
a first head support member pivotably attached to the headrest body portion by a first frictional mechanism, the first head support member being pivotable relative to the headrest body portion to a first plurality of in-use positions between a flat position and an acute angle rotation stop position, the first head support member being maintained in any of the first plurality of in-use positions under a load of human head leaning against the first head support member, the first head support member to move if a greater load than the load of a human head leaning against the first head support member is applied. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A headrest comprising:
-
a headrest back portion;
a first lateral support member pivotally connected to the headrest back portion, the first lateral support member being movable to pivot about a first substantially vertical axis from a first substantially flat position in which the first lateral support member is substantially parallel to the headrest back portion to a rotation stop which limits pivoting of the first lateral support member to a first acute angle with respect to said headrest back portion, said first lateral support member being maintained in any of a plurality of first lateral support member positions between the first substantially flat position and the first acute angle, said first lateral support member to pivot if a greater force than a human head leaning against the first lateral support member is applied. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A headrest comprising:
-
a head rest back portion;
a first wing, said first wing being pivotable from a first flat position to a first limit position, wherein said first wing is substantially parallel to a front face of the headrest back portion in the first flat position and wherein the first wing is limited to pivoting through a first acute angle at the first limit position, said first wing being sustained in a first plurality of positions between the first flat position and the first limit position under the load of a human head leaning against the first wing and yielding when a greater load is applied;
a second wing, said second wing being pivotable from a second flat position to a second limit position, wherein said second wing is substantially parallel to the front face of the headrest back portion in the second flat position and wherein the second wing is limited to pivoting through a second acute angle at the second limit position, said second wing being sustained in a second plurality of positions between the second flat position and the second limit position under the load of the human head leaning against the second wing and yielding when the greater load is applied. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
