  • Publication number: 20070180623
    Abstract: A pair of symmetrical pillow members each have an enlarged lower portion and a narrowing upper portion with a strap extending from a top end. The straps of the two pillow members are releasably attachable to one another, behind the headrest of an automobile seat, to adjustably position and support the pillow members on the opposite sides of the head of a person occupying the seat. In a preferred embodiment, the pillow members are structured to extend over the seat occupant's shoulders with the lower portions converging towards one another, thereby allowing the person to rest their head to the left or right side. The pillow members are adjustably positionable to accommodate for the size of the individual, ranging from children to large adults.

  • Publication number: 20020162273
    Abstract: Bark chips articles for use as mulch for houseplants. A mulch composition is formed of Douglas Fir bark that has been chipped to have a longest dimension in the range of about 0.5 cm to about 3 cm (averaging a length of about 1 cm). The bark chips have been treated chemically so that they will not float when doused with water. A process of making the mulch composition includes selection of appropriate bark material from which the chips are to be formed, chipping the bark, and sterilizing it prior to one or more chemical treatment processes.
