Abstract
A postural support apparatus comprising is provided including an biasing body comprising: a top member; a bottom member, spaced from the top member; and a left and right resilient members attached at each end of the top and bottom members. The left and right resilient members are configured to bias the top and bottom members into a predetermined position. The support apparatus also includes a load distributor connected to the biasing body configured to distribute a load force applied to the postural support apparatus.
Claims11
A postural support apparatus comprising:
- a. a biasing body comprising:
- i. a top member having opposite right and left sides;
- ii. a bottom member, spaced from the top member, the bottom member having opposite right and left sides;
- and
- iii. a left and right resilient members attached at each of the right and left sides of the top and bottom members, respectively, wherein the left and right resilient members are configured to bias the top and bottom members into a predetermined position;
- iv. a stabilizer for linking the left and right resilient members at a point between the top and bottom members;
- and
- b. a load distributor connected to the biasing body configured to distribute a load force applied to the postural support apparatus;
- c) a vent member connected to the top member and the bottom member and spaced from a ventral surface of the biasing body, wherein the vent member is configured to provide a ventilation gap between a user and the biasing body,
- d. wherein the top and bottom members and the right and left resilient members form a resilient unitary body;
- e. wherein the resilient unitary body comprises a hoop made of a resilient material, the top member having right and left lobes.

A postural support apparatus comprising:
- a. a biasing body comprising:
- i. a top member;
- ii. a bottom member, spaced from the top member;
- and
- iii. an elongated resilient member having opposite left and right sides and opposite top and bottom ends, the top and bottom ends being attached to the top and bottom members, respectively, wherein the left and right sides of the elongated resilient member are configured to bias the top and bottom members into a predetermined position;
- and
- b. a load distributor connected to the biasing body configured to distribute a load force applied to the postural support apparatus, and
- c. wherein the elongated resilient member comprises an elongated heavy gauge wire loop, the left and right sides being left and right wire sections, respectively, the left and right wire sections being curved towards each other such that a distance separating the left and right wire sections is greater towards the top and bottom members and narrows at a middle portion between the top and bottom members.
