ABSTRACT:
An adjustable upper body rest is disclosed which is intended primarily for supporting the upper body while laying face down with the head turned to the right or left side at an angular position of approximately forty degrees below a horizontal plane. Likewise, supports at a higher elevation are provided for the head and an arm for the user who desires to lay on the right or left side. Said higher elevation is provided by moving both shoulder supports upward and toward the top of the "Adjustable Upper Body Rest".
A lower face support is provided which consists of one or more rests configured to be concave lengthwise and rotatable about a near horizontal axis. A forehead support is provided consisting of one or more rests configured as a "V" tilted toward the user. Said face and forehead rests provide open areas for the eyes, nose and mouth. Likewise, two similar shoulder supports are disclosed which are configured at their top sides to be convex at the end nearest to the head support and provide comfortable support for the shoulders while laying in the face down position. Said shoulder supports are each configured in a concave manner at their opposite ends and while positioned at a high or low elevation each provides a separate comfortable support for the user's head while laying on the right or left side.
The nose or mouth never contact any part of the body rest, precluding the deposit of germs therein, enabling rest in a sanitary manner.
