[0010] FIG. 1 illustrates a headrest hanger apparatus for a vehicle seat comprising of a double hook 1 mounted on both the right side and left side of the headrest 20 that allow passengers to hang their hat and cap on the side of the headrest 20 seat 21. The double hook 1 has an elongated top hook and a curve hook at the bottom that can slide out of the housing inside the right side and left side of the headrest 20. The double hook 1 has a pivot fastener 2 that is attach to a back plate 6 inside the housing 10 of the headrest 20. The components for the headrest hanger apparatus is house inside the automobile headrest 20 where it can slide out for use and retracts inside the headrest 20 for storage.

[0011] FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the headrest hanger apparatus with a slanted headrest 20 leaning at an angle. The double hook 1 has a pivot fastener 2 that can rotate and adjust so the double hook 1 can be at a vertical position perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle even if the headrest 20 is at a diagonal angle or the seat 21 is reclined back.

[0012] FIG. 3 illustrates a slice view of the headrest hanger apparatus with the double hook 1 extended out from the right side and left side displaying the spring 3 pushing out the double hook 1 from its housing 10 compartment. The headrest hanger apparatus has a latch mechanism that operates by pressing the lid 5 to release latch so the spring 3 pushes the double hook 1 out of its housing 10 compartment.

[0013] FIG. 4 illustrates a cut out view of the headrest 20 where the headrest hanger apparatus and the double hook 1 is retracted inside its housing 10 and stored inside the headrest 20. The springs 3 are compressed behind the back plate 6 of the double hook 1 and the lid 5 with a torsion spring 4 on the hinge cover up the double hook 1 inside the housing 10 compartment. To operate push the double hook 1 inside the housing 10 compartment until the latch mechanism locks into place and compresses the spring 3 behind the back plate 6 and closing the lid 5 for the housing.

[0014] FIG. 5 illustrate an exploding view of the headrest hanger apparatus and its parts. The double hook 1 has an elongated top hook and a curve hook on the bottom for hanging hats and caps.
