Pillow Helmet

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A pillow body is enclosed in a ticking, and a pair of tie strings are each attached at one end thereof to the ticking at opposite ends of the pillow body. The pillow body is folded in half along a transverse medial line, and the confronting side edges of the ticking are sewn together so as to form a pouch open on only one side. A pillowcase with a zipper closure surrounds the pouch. The device thus formed is useful as a courtesy pillow for the comfort of airline passengers, and doubles as a crash helmet which may be put over the head of the passenger when he is forewarned of an impending crash landing.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to two ordinarily distinct areas; namely, pillows and crash helmets. More particularly, it concerns a dual-purpose device which serves either as a pillow or as a crash helmet as the need arises.
