Benefits of technology

This patent is about a chair with a detachable headrest and cover. The headrest can be rotated to a second position, allowing the user to access its bottom side. The headrest cover can be attached or detached from the headrest when in the second position. The headrest and cover can be secured to the chair with hook and loop fasteners. The headrest cover can have a predetermined design or be customizable. These features allow for easy customization and replacement of the headrest cover, improving the comfort, appearance, and longevity of the chair.

Problems solved by technology

Because a conventional headrest is formed integrally with the chair, if the headrest cover becomes worn or excessively dirty, the headrest cover cannot be changed and the entire chair must be replaced.
This can be an inefficient and error-prone process, especially when small lot sizes of chairs are ordered.

Abstract

This invention relates to a chair having a selectively removable, replaceable headrest cover. The chair has a headrest and a removable headrest cover configured to fit on at least a portion of the headrest. The headrest is hingedly attached to the chair so that the headrest can be rotated away from the chair to a second, open position to allow a user access to a bottom side of the headrest. The headrest cover is selectively attachable to or detachable from the headrest when the headrest is in the second, open position. Upon positioning the headrest in a first, closed position, the headrest cover appears to be a conventional (i.e., non-removable) headrest cover.
