Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a portable backrest device that is simple, inexpensive, and easy to use. It is designed for outdoor activities, such as hunting, and includes a flat backing plate with a domed top edge, a straight bottom edge, and two flat short legs. The flat short legs make contact with the ground to stabilize the backing plate and provide comfortable support for the hunter. The invention is advantageous in avoiding the discomfort and disadvantages of prior art devices."

Problems solved by technology

Some hunters may lean or rest against an item for an extended period of time, which may lead to pain in the back.
The hunter when continuously moving around to be comfortable or to stretch the body can easily startle nearby animals.
Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.

Abstract

A portable backrest device used by a hunter for outdoor activities comprises a flat backing plate fabricated out of a rigid material and being of a generally inverted U-shaped configuration having a domed top edge, a straight bottom edge wider than the domed top edge and a pair of integrated flat short legs. Each integrated flat short leg extends downwardly from a corner of the straight bottom edge of the flat backing plate. A padded cushion is secured to the flat backing plate. When the flat short legs make contact with the ground, the flat short legs will stabilize the flat backing plate with the padded cushion when placed against an object on the ground, thereby allowing the hunter to sit comfortably on the ground against the padded cushion. A cutout handle is utilized for easy transportation.
