13. No matter what model, series and
make of aircraft in the airline‟s
fleet, the Head Guard will fit on
each entryway contour by
manufacturing Head Guard to
entryway design specifications.

14. The Head Guard is covered with eco-leather, the same
leather materials found on aircraft seats. The Head
Guard can be embroidered with an airline logo, color or
customer requests such as “Welcome Aboard”,
“Caution”, “Watch Your Head” , “Thank You for Flying
with Us”
The leather is wrapped and sewn around the contouring
pre-cast cushioning device.

15. The Head Guard is Light & Durable
The Head Guard weighs less than two
pounds and is easily stored in an overhead
bin or closet. The Head Guard‟s durability
allows it to always maintain its specific
contour even after being dropped, stepped-
on, or even if luggage is laying on top of it
during extended trips.

16. The top of an entryway door frame is part of the aircraft
fuselage and if a passenger or crewmember head hits the
door frame they could be seriously injured.
