ABSTRACT:
A cardboard work mat has a pleated configuration, wherein the mat is folded in pleats for storage, and an unfolded configuration, wherein the mat defines a surface area sufficiently large for supporting a mechanic beneath a vehicle. A headrest is formed on one end of the mat by folding over the two or three end-most pleats together and then bonding them together. In an alternate embodiment, the mat is a flexible plastic sheet which has a rolled configuration for storage and an unrolled configuration for supporting a mechanic on the sheet. A headrest is molded or attached to one end of the sheet. Yet again, the pad can be a pleated corrugated plastic pad having a head rest removably attached thereto by hook and eye fasteners.
