El Chindogu de la setmana (4)

The Commuter's Helmet

For secure subway snoozing.

Another Chindogu to aid the comfort and repose of weary commuters, and arguably the best. Like the Subway Sleeper’s Screen, the Commuter’s Helmet sports a message to fellow travellers, reading, "I’m having a short nap." Could you please wake me up when I reach the stop printed below? Many thanks.’ But since depends entirely on the co-operation of fellow passengers for success, this Chindogu has also been designed to maximize their finer communal instincts and sense of goodwill. This suction pad on the back of the helmet keeps the head firmly in place, thus preventing the sleeper’s head from lolling intrusively on the shoulders or laps of his or her neighbours. This courtesy will no doubt be appreciated, and the reciprocal favour of a timely awakening is more likely to be achieved.
