| 223 | Pressure regulation for an inflatable cushion | US09705974 | 2000-11-03 | US06598250B1 | 2003-07-29 | Robert W. Pekar |
| An inflatable cushion is disclosed, having features that allow deflation of the cushion to be controlled. The cushion includes an inflatable bladder having a support therein and a valved exhaust tube in fluid communication therewith. An indicator coupled to the exhaust tube indicates when fluid is exiting the exhaust tube. When sat upon, the cushion deflates only by a preselected amount. This allows the cushion to be consistently and easily deflated to a predetermined inflation height. | ||||||
| 224 | Air massager | US09458212 | 1999-12-09 | US06592533B1 | 2003-07-15 | Mitsuhisa Yonekawa; Shoji Hoshino; Hiroaki Kobayashi |
| In an air massager, a seat, backrest, etc. are provided with cushion units. Each cushion unit includes a pad member, consisting mainly of a fiber-filler, and airbag apparatus put on top of the pad member. The airbag apparatus can be inflated or deflated as air is fed into or discharged from it by means of a pumping device. A compressible distance in the thickness-direction of the pad member is greater than a maximum inflated thickness of the airbag apparatus. The pad member has a thickness, softness, and restorability such that it allows the inflated airbag apparatus to go down into the fiber-filler and incline along a seater's body surface when the airbag apparatus is pressed by the body surface. | ||||||

| 226 | Cushioning devices, gelatinous elastomer materials, and devices made therefrom | US10059101 | 2001-11-08 | US20030096899A1 | 2003-05-22 | Tony M. Pearce |
| A cushion that includes a cushioning element. The cushioning element has a number of substantially parallel elongate columns formed in a soft, easily deformable elastic or visco-elastic cushioning media. The columns are configured so that when a force is applied to the cushioning element in a direction that is generally parallel to the longitudinal axes of the columns, the cushioning element will yield by compressability or deformability of the cushioning media, bucklability of the walls of the columns, or a combination of both. In particular, the walls of columns which are located beneath a protruberance on an object being cushioned tend to buckle, permitting the cushioning element to conform to the shape of the cushioned object while evenly distributing a supporting force across the contact area of the cushioned object and avoiding pressure peaks. The preferred cushioning media is a gelatinous elastomer or gelatinous viscoelastomer. Various configurations of cushioning elements, including sidewall supports, are disclosed. | ||||||
| 227 | Active fluid channeling system for a bed | US09812166 | 2001-03-19 | US06564411B2 | 2003-05-20 | Shahzad Pirzada |
| An fluid channeling system that comprises a series of elongated chambers having a rectangular cross section. Each of these chambers is disposed adjacent to the other and extends parallel to the other in either a single layer configuration or a two layer configuration. There is at least one fluid such as air, helium, or an air helium combination disposed within these chambers. The fluid enters these chambers through at least one fluid intake valve which is in fluid communication with these chambers. Helium has particular properties that make it conducive for this type of an application. Helium is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, in addition, Helium can diffuse through many materials commonly used in laboratories such as rubber and PVC. Therefore, if the present invention uses Helium, the materials used in creating this device must reflect these properties. There is also at least one fluid conveyor such as a series of pipes or a series of pipes and a manifold wherein the fluid conveyor conveys the fluid between alternating chambers in the series of chambers. These chambers may also contain a resilient material such as a polyurethane foam that is porous to the fluid. As a load is a applied to the chambers, the chambers alternately compress or expand causing fluid to flow in through the intake valves and into the chambers. The fluid stops flowing into the chambers when the pressure inside the chambers balance with the pressure outside the chambers. | ||||||
| 228 | Fluid-containing body support air cushion | US09886709 | 2001-06-21 | US06553591B1 | 2003-04-29 | Stephen J. Motosko |
| A fluid-containing air cushion including an air chamber including an air fill valve and a water filled layer connected atop or against, and at least partially coextensive with, the air chamber, the water-filled layer defining a body support surface. The water-filled layer includes a water fill valve and an array of individual spaced fluid pockets each of which is separated from, but in fluid communication with, the water-filled layer itself by a small fluid flow port whereby, when water flows into each of the fluid pockets through the port, it is substantially trapped within each of said fluid pockets to prevent substantial sloshing and uneven distribution of water within the water-filled layer. | ||||||

| 234 | Inflatable infant sitting support | US09500037 | 2000-02-08 | US06354665B1 | 2002-03-12 | Elisabeth Helen Ross |
| An inflatable infant sitting support device which can be used from the earliest developmental stage of learning to sit upright by an infant or a younger developmentally delayed child, consisting of four inflatable pieces and one cushioned, non-inflatable piece, which acts as the seat bottom for the device. The primary inflatable piece is “U” or horseshoe shaped and is sealed to the top of the cushioned, non-inflatable piece. There is an elongated, rectangular inflatable piece, acting as a support to keep the device from tapping over to the back, sealed to the bottom of the back of the curved section at the back of the primary inflatable piece. There is a crescent-shaped inflatable piece acting as a head and neck support and sealed to the top of the curved section at the back of the primary piece. The final inflatable piece is a detachable safety bar which can be snapped across the top of the front of the device to stop an infant's fall forward and to give an infant or developmentally delayed child something to grasp and try to maintain balance, while still using and strengthening the muscles needed to sit upright without support. The entire chair is made out of vinyl or vinyl-type plastic material so that the device is easy to wipe clean, as well as easy to deflate and fold into a small package to be stored or packed for travel. | ||||||
