82 Seat cushion US823536 1992-01-21 US5294181A 1994-03-15 Robert J. Rose; Bruce Sleboda
A seat cushion is described which has particular utility as a wheelchair seat cushion. The seat cushion includes a base layer of polyurethane foam with a front edge of greater height than the rear edge so as to define a downwardly sloping upper surface. The base layer supports an essentially constant thickness intermediate layer which is less firm than the base layer. The intermediate layer has a pair of laterally spaced recesses formed in the forward end of the intermediate layer which curve both upwardly and inwardly from the front edge of the intermediate layer. A top layer is secured to the intermediate layer and has a constant thickness. The top layer is formed of foam material which is less firm (e.g., a lower 65% IFD value) than the foam forming the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is formed of a foam which is less firm (e.g., a lower 65% IFD value) than the material forming the base layer. The upper surface of the top layer defines a pair of depressions in the areas where the top layer is received within the recesses of the intermediate layer. The top layer includes a convoluted upper surface and in one embodiment the top layer includes a similarly convoluted extension which provides a backrest.
83 Seat cushion for alleviation of perineal and rectal discomfort US840008 1992-02-21 US5286089A 1994-02-15 Stephen L. Goldman
Disclosed is a unitary foam seat cushion (10) that is configured and arranged to eliminate contact pressure on the rectal, perineal and genital regions of a person seated on the seat cushion without subjecting the perineal region to substantial stress or tension. The seat cushion includes a base (12) and two upwardly projecting elongate support members (16 and 18). The support members are of an arcuate (upwardly extending convex) cross-sectional geometry and are positioned in parallel spaced apart relationship for support of the ischia and thighs. Located between the support members is a channel (14) that extends downwardly into the seat cushion to form a void that prevents exertion of contact pressure on the rectal, perineal and genital areas. The portions (30 and 32) of the support members nearest the knees of a seated person taper downwardly for improved weight distribution and comfort of a person seated on the seat cushion.
84 Sealed composite cushion having multiple indentation force deflection zones US977136 1992-11-16 US5282286A 1994-02-01 Michael MacLeish
A sealable, composite cushion is disclosed having a plurality of resilient support member horizontally disposed to one another and surrounded by a fluid impervious membrane. Each resilient support member has a known Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) value and is located in the cushion based upon medical criteria to provide zones of varying support. In an embodiment, the resilient members are bonded to the membrane and act as tension members to maintain the cushion's form while under a load. As a result, the cushion resists further deflection not only by the resilient members' resistance to compression, but also by an increased internal pressure. Accordingly, the cushion of the present invention is a composite of fluid flotation and compression resistance. A valve may be incorporated into the cushion to regulate the fluid floatation characteristics of the cushion or to assist in its transportation. In another embodiment, the resilient support members are not bonded to an upper membrane portion, thereby decreasing shear forces acting upon the resilient members when the cushion is under load. Further, excess membrane may be located at the cushion periphery. When subject to a load, this excess membrane material can migrate to the upper portion of the cushion, thereby decreasing undesirable peripheral distortion of the cushion.

87 Cushion US420272 1989-10-12 US4989284A 1991-02-05 Paul B. Gamm
A cushion having a series of pods connected in a matrix configuration. The pods are deformable in response to a person seated on the cushion. The pods cooperate to define primary airflow channels through the cushion from side edge to side edge, and from front edge to back edge, thereof. In one feature, a series of cruciform configured recesses are defined in the pods' top surfaces. These recesses cooperate to define secondary airflow channels through the cushion from side edge to side edge, and from front edge to back edge, thereof. In another feature, a series of first pods are located in those cushion areas which underlie and support a person's ischial and coccyx bones, and a series of second pods located in those cushion areas which do not underlie and support a person's ischial and coccyx bones. The first pods have a relatively thin wall covering a foamed interior and are of a relatively greater height to provide relatively soft pods. The second pods have a relatively thick wall covering a foamed interior and are of a relatively lesser height to form relatively firm pods. These difference in load bearing characteristics between the first and second pods aids in minimizing the pressure on a user's ischial and coccyx bones when seated on the cushion.

99 Support member US231829 1981-02-05 US4493877A 1985-01-15 John S. Burnett
A support device, suitable for the physically handicapped, and also for packaging delicate objects, consists of an airtight flexible bag filled with a granular material coated with an adhesive. A non-return valve is provided to allow a partial vacuum to be established within the bag. In use, the bag when non-evacuated of air, is pushed against a body to be supported so that the granular material flows and assumes a shape closely conforming to the body. Air is then evacuated from the bag and as a result the granular material is compressed into a rigid mass in the conformed shape. The mass is then made permanently rigid by activating the adhesive coating, for example with microwave radiation.
