Although many claims have been made about the invention of the auto headrest before 1940, in the 20s and 30s the maximum speed of automobiles and the condition of roads were such that there was no need for a whiplash restraint. Therefore, any text asserting that the auto headrest was invented in 1921 is simply invalid.
We have created an article that we believe to be verifiable, factual, and accurate and have submitted it to Wikipedia several times. When the article is researched we often find it has been modified and the original text has been omitted.
G.J. Schifano , retired CEO, Kustom Fit Corporation, formerly Trimline Products Corporation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bridgecreek ( talk • contribs) 20:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
In 1959 Greg Schifano of Arcadia California, was distraught when his doctor told him he had recently treated seven cases of auto whiplash, which left one man totally immobile and in a wheelchair. Schifano went to work to design a whiplash restraint, patent number 266,229-DK-L-1444 Schifano. These first units were manufactured with his own multidensity foam, hard in the center and progressively softer to the outside, secured to an existing seat, which later became known as the auto headrest. Schifano's Company, Trimline Products Corporation, sold thousands of them through many aftermarket retailers, auto parts stores and service centers in America and in many foreign countries.
Completely true and easily verified, in the 1950’s and early sixties there was a big push from word of the National Automotive Safety Association in conjunction with the Chamber and Junior Chamber of commerce for public awareness in auto safety, for seat belt and headrest (whiplash restraints) clinics to be held in most major cities. The labor to install these items in your car, was furnished free, from volunteers from hundreds of high school and junior colleges, and the headrests and seat belts were furnished at COST from Kraco Seat Belt Co., Kustom Fit and Trimline Products Co. With the help of National Accident and Injuries statistics, these clinics were a huge success in making the public aware for the need of these safety items in the newer, faster, modern automobiles and traveling speeds.
We could not find the Bernard Katz name on, in, or around any of these clinics that lasted for a period of about eight years.
Why IS that?
To confirm our suspicions we looked though hundreds of old issues of automotive magazines, including Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Classic Car, Auto Trim News, Heming’s, etc.. where we found many advertisements and articles on these new auto safety products, from Kraco, seat belts, Trimline, auto headrest’s, Kustom Fit, bucket seats, hoping to find some Benj Katz safety products! But no such luck!
Why IS that?
Could it be that the Katz Co. went defunct before the real needs of the motoring public were to be met? Who knows?
Is all this information and safety history worthy of encyclopedia publication? According to Wikipedia’s guidelines? Absolutely! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.162.78 ( talk) 21:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
