Adjustable portable headrest

1. A portable adjustable headrest comprising:

a base member having a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, wherein a receiving orifice is protruding from the first surface, a first attachment member is affixed to the second surface, and a second attachment member is affixed to the third surface;

a first elongated pad, wherein the first elongated pad is rotationally attached to the first attachment member;

a second elongated pad, wherein the second elongated pad is rotationally attached to the second attachment member;

a hollow outer shaft having a central axis, wherein the hollow outer shaft is inserted into the receiving orifice of the base member;

an inner shaft having a first end and a second end and a central axis, configured to fit securely within the outer shaft in a telescopic relationship;

a locking mechanism coupled to the inner shaft and the hollow outer shaft, wherein the inner shaft is rotated about the central axis of the hollow outer shaft to engage and disengage the locking mechanism, wherein when the inner shaft is rotated in a first direction about the central axis, the locking mechanism is engaged and when rotated in a direction opposite the first direction, the locking mechanism becomes disengaged;

a cushion base affixed to the first end of the inner shaft, wherein the cushion base has a curved elongated surface;

a cushion situated on the elongated surface of the cushion base, wherein the cushion is curved substantially similar to the curvature of the cushion base, wherein the cushion is made from a high-density foam;

a cover secured around the cushion and elongated surface of the cushion base, and made from a high density foam; and

a grip having a hollow core and an external surface, wherein the grip is made from a foam cushioning material and has a predetermined contour on the exterior surface and is sized to securely fit over the hollow outer shaft.

2. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism when engaged limits the rotation about the center axis and telescopic mobility of the inner shaft thereby securing the inner shaft in a specific position.

3. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 1 , wherein the cover has a detachable locking mechanism to secure the cushion and the elongated surface of the cushion base within the cover.

4. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 1 , wherein the hollow outer shaft and the inner shaft are substantially equal lengths.

5. A portable adjustable headrest comprising:

a base member having a receiving orifice and two mounting points on opposing sides of the receiving orifice;

elongated pads rotatably attached to the mounting points on the base member

a hollow outer shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the hollow outer shaft is fitted within the receiving orifice;

an inner shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the inner shaft is inserted into the second end of the hollow outer shaft;

a locking mechanism coupled to the inner shaft and the hollow outer shaft, wherein the inner shaft is rotated about the central axis of the hollow outer shaft to engage and disengage the locking mechanism, wherein when the inner shaft is rotated in a first direction about the central axis, the locking mechanism is engaged and when rotated in a direction opposite the first direction, the locking mechanism becomes disengaged;

a cushion base attached to the first end of the inner shaft, wherein the cushion base has an elongated curved surface extending outwardly;

a cushion situated on the elongated surface of the cushion base, and made from a high density foam; and

a cover which is secured over the cushion and elongated surface of the cushion base, wherein the cover has a securing means; and

a handle grip having a hollow core and an external surface, wherein the elongated body is made from a cushioning material and has a predetermined contour on the exterior surface and is sized to securely fit over the hollow outer shaft below the locking mechanism and above the base member.

6. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 5 , wherein the cushion and the cushion base have substantially mating contoured surfaces.

7. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 5 , wherein the hollow outer shaft and the inner shaft are substantially equal lengths.

8. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 5 , wherein the base member and the outer hollow tube are detachably engaged with one another.

9. A portable adjustable headrest comprising:

a base member having a receiving orifice, a first connector, a second connector, wherein the first connector and the second connector are on substantially opposite sides of the receiving orifice;

a first elongated pad, wherein the first elongated pad is attached to the first connector, wherein the first elongated pad is able to rotate about the first connector from a first position to a second position;

a second elongated pad, wherein the second elongated pad is attached to the second connector, wherein the first elongated pad is able to rotate about the second connector from a first position to a second position;

a hollow outer shaft having a first end, a second end, and a central axis, wherein the first end of the hollow outer shaft is inserted into the receiving orifice of the base member;

an inner shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the inner shaft is configured to fit within the second end of the hollow outer shaft;

a locking mechanism coupled to the inner shaft and the hollow outer shaft, wherein the inner shaft is rotated about the central axis of the hollow outer shaft to engage and disengage the locking mechanism, wherein when the inner shaft is rotated in a first direction about the central axis, the locking mechanism is engaged and when rotated in a direction opposite the first direction, the locking mechanism becomes disengaged;

a cushion base affixed to the second end of the inner shaft, wherein the cushion base has a curved elongated surface;

a cushion situated on the elongated surface of the cushion base, wherein the cushion is contoured to substantially match the curvature of the cushion base, and made from a high density foam;

a cover secured around the cushion and elongated surface of the cushion base, wherein the cover has a releasable attachment means; and

an elongated body having a hollow core and an external surface, wherein the elongated body is made from a foam material and has a predetermined contour on the exterior surface and is sized to securely fit over the hollow outer shaft between the first end and the second end.

10. The portable adjustable headrest of claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism is engaged when the inner shaft is rotated from a first position to a second position about the central axis.
