Description

Many people on planes, trains and buses sleep with their foreheads on their forearms. The problem is our forearms quickly get numb, which wakes us up after a few short minutes. My idea is to create a flexible plastic ring covered entirely with soft padded materials. It would be lightweight and easily fit in a backpack or large purse.

I am an IT consultant who travels a lot for work. When I travel, I often use a rough prototype of this, which works very well for me.

My idea was sent to a registered patent attorney for a search which revealed my invention has aesthetic features not shown in prior art, and as such, a design patent would be available.
