Abstract

A seat back adjustment device that has a cushion ( 2 ) which is vertically positioned against a seat backrest ( 6 ) of a golf cart ( 1 ). A strap with a distal end ( 7 ) is attached to a top ( 14 ) of the cushion and extends over the backrest and is secured at its distal end ( 4 ) to a vehicle by grommet ( 9 ) and anchor ( 5 ) or around the backrest to a bottom ( 15 ) of the cushion ( 2 ). A buckle ( 3 ) inserted in the strap allows for adjusting the length of the strap or for removing the cushion ( 2 ) when it is not needed.

1 . A seat back adjustment device comprising:
 a cushion having a predetermined size, a top, a bottom and a same thickness from the top to the bottom;   a strap attached at a proximal end to the top of the cushion to maintain the cushion in a vertical position against a front of a seat backrest of a vehicle; and   a means for securing the cushion located at a distal end of the strap against the seat backrest of the vehicle.   
   
   
       2 . The seat back adjustment device of  claim 1  wherein the means for securing the cushion comprises a grommet at a distal end of the strap for attachment to an anchor behind the seat of the vehicle. 
   
   
       3 . The seat back adjustment device of  claim 1  wherein the means for securing the cushion in the vehicle comprises the strap being wrapped around the seat backrest of the vehicle and attached at the distal end to the bottom of the cushion. 
   
   
       4 . The seat back adjustment device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a quick release and strap length adjustment buckle inserted between the proximal and distal ends of the strap to allow the strap to be adjusted in length and to remove the cushion as desired.   
   
   
       5 . The seat back adjustment device of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a quick release and strap length adjustment buckle inserted between the proximal and distal ends of the strap to allow the strap to be adjusted in length and to remove the cushion as desired.   
   
   
       6 . The seat back adjustment device of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a quick release and strap length adjustment buckle inserted between the proximal and distal ends of the strap to allow the strap to be adjusted in length and to remove the cushion as desired.   
   
   
       7 . A method of enabling a person to more comfortably reach operational pedals of a vehicle using a device comprising a cushion having a predetermined size and thickness, a top and bottom, a strap attached at a proximal end to the top of the cushion to maintain the cushion in the vertical position against the front of the seat backrest of the vehicle and the means for securing the cushion located at a distal end of the strap against the seat backrest of the vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
 placing said cushion against the front of the seat backrest of the vehicle and the strap over the top of the seat backrest with a means of securing the cushion at its distal end; and   a person positioning his or her back against the cushion.
