ABSTRACT:
A cushion for removable attachment to an automotive repair creeper is disclosed according to the preferred teachings of the present invention including a flexible insulator removably received within a flexible bag-like covering. The insulator in its preferred form includes first and second reflective layers sandwiching sealed, multiple air cell material. The reflective layers reflect body heat back and cold away from the mechanic. The air encapsulated in the air cells acts as insulation in reducing heat transfer and provides a resilient, cushion-type support. The cushion has a size and shape generally equal to and complementary to the top surface of the platform of the creeper between the longitudinal rails and is removably held thereon by fasteners which in the preferred form are VELCRO.RTM. fasteners secured to the bottom half of the covering and the top surface of the platform such as by double-sided adhesive tape whereby the insulator is located intermediate the platform and the mechanic laying thereon. Thus, the cushion may be secured to and removed from the creeper without the use of tools and without modification to the creeper.
