Abstract

A stretchable hygienic cover, for utilization with an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, having an ability to conform itself to dimensions of the existing variable geometry vehicle headrest underlying the stretchable hygienic cover when engaged includes a stretchable, breathable, moisture-absorbent fabric. Further provided in the stretchable hygienic cover is a closable opening allowing the fabric to stretchably fit over an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, wherein the closable opening may stretch and retract in size to grip on to an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest. The fabric includes at least two vertical internal bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of said fabric to allow for a secure engagement to the surface of the headrest. These bands are secured within said fabric.

Claims (8)

1. A hygienic kit for a headrest, comprising:

a stretchable hygienic cover, for utilization with an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, having an ability to conform itself to dimensions of the existing variable geometry vehicle headrest underlying the stretchable hygienic cover when engaged, wherein the stretchable hygienic cover comprises a stretchable, breathable moisture-absorbent fabric, a closable opening allowing said fabric to stretchably fit over an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, wherein said closable opening may stretch and retract in size to grip on to an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, and said fabric including at least two vertical internal bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of said fabric, and secured within said fabric;

a pre-packaged sanitizing wipe; and

a container to encapsulate the pre-packaged sanitizing wipe and the stretchable hygienic cover, wherein the stretchable hygienic cover is compressed.

2. A method for providing a hygienic kit for a headrest, comprising:

providing a stretchable hygienic cover, for utilization with an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, having an ability to conform itself to dimensions of the existing variable geometry vehicle headrest underlying the stretchable hygienic cover when engaged, wherein the stretchable hygienic cover comprises a stretchable, breathable moisture-absorbent fabric, a closable opening allowing said fabric to stretchably fit over an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, wherein said closable opening may stretch and retract in size to grip on to an existing variable geometry vehicle headrest, and said fabric including at least two vertical internal bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of said fabric, and secured within said fabric;

providing a pre-packaged sanitizing wipe; and

providing a container to encapsulate the pre-packaged sanitizing wipe and the stretchable hygienic cover, wherein the stretchable hygienic cover is compressed.
