Abstract

Abstract A pillow, which may take the form of an automobile headrest, has a fastener that controls communication to an interior compartment of the pillow. A removable shock absorber liner fits into the interior compartment and defines a pocket which is adapted to receive and store first aid (medical) supplies and emergency equipment. An elastic body fits into the pocket in the liner. The shock absorber liner and the elastic body are both easily removable from the interior of the pillow and are useful as first aid equipment. With the fastener open, a plastic, transparent organizer containing first aid equipment and emergency supplies is inserted into the pocket of the liner. This compresses the elastic body. The fastener is then closed. When the fastener is opened, the organizer is automatically at least partially ejected from the pillow.
