Benefits of technology

The invention is a seat with a "L" shape that counter balances the weight of a person's torso and head. It prevents sliding and falling and ensures the person is upright, which can be a safety concern in places like airplanes or airports. The seat also provides privacy, as it is difficult to see the person from a seat in a non-existing privacy space.

Embodiment Construction

[0066]The invention is a new use, after modifications and additions of prior art extendable rod designs. This prior art is seen in two basic prior art luggage aids (the foldable rod design commonly used tor carrying luggage and the retractable rod design commonly used within a piece of luggage to provide an extendable handle) and also in prior art designs such as telescoping selfie photo handles and telescoping or retracting ladders. The invention lakes these basic designs and goes much further with them, adding to and modifying to produce a new entity and use (the invention).

[0067]As noted in the fast paragraph several different types of extendable rods can be used to achieve the same basic design of the invention. These uses are described below. In addition to noting that different types of extendable rods can be used it must be noted that the invention has two basic designs; one which provides for a portable device and the second that is built into a chair.

Abstract

The Upper Human Both Support and Privacy Device is an expandable rod device that extends to accommodate different areas of the upper body of a seated human who leans sideways against it. It can be portable or incorporated into a chair. It is held up by a hard surface such as a chair arm or wall. The portable version it includes a seat upon which a human sits although can be used without the seat. In the built in version the seat is not included. The portable version has a fixed “L” shape attached to a seat; both the “L” shape and seat help to keep the device upright. The device can also be used for privacy. When the desired use is merely for privacy, the device can be built into any structure that enables it to stay upright, such as the side of a table.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:[0001]The Upper Human Body Support and Privacy Device also referred to herein as the “invention” addresses the problem of people falling to one side or another when sitting in a chair or seat. The person leans to the person's side against the invention which can be situated to the person's right or left side as desired or both sides if two devices are used. The invention can hold the resting torso and the head or just the torso as desired. Different parts of the upper body can be supported by extending the length of the rods as needed in any individual's ease. The invention can also or in the alternative be used as a privacy device if desired in that it acts as a screen. This is beneficial when, for example, flying in an airplane where one's privacy is limited.[0002]It is novel for an extendable rod device to support the side of a person as opposed to the back. It is novel for any extendable device to support the entire upper torso (above the buttocks) an...
