Abstract
A snowmobile seat with a substantially rigid foam base disposed over a track tunnel of a snowmobile. A flexible seat section is disposed over at least a portion of the rigid base. The flexible seat section is formed of an open cell foam that is different than the substantially rigid foam base, and has an upper surface. A seat cover covers at least a portion of the flexible seat section and extends under the rigid foam base to cover at least a portion of the rigid foam base. At least one fastener is disposed on a portion of the seat cover extending under the rigid foam base to removably secure the seat cover to the snowmobile.
Claims18
A snowmobile seat, comprising:
- a) a substantially rigid foam base, configured to be disposed over a track tunnel of a snowmobile;
- b) a flexible foam seat section, disposed over at least a portion of the rigid base, formed of an open cell foam different than the substantially rigid foam base, and having an upper surface;
- c) a seat cover, covering at least a portion of the flexible seat section and extending under the rigid foam base to cover at least a portion of the rigid foam base;
- and
- d) at least one fastener, disposed on a portion of the seat cover extending under the rigid foam base to removably secure the seat cover to the snowmobile.
A snowmobile seat, comprising:
- a) a substantially rigid base, configured to be disposed over a track tunnel of a snowmobile, formed of a foam with cell walls and cell voids such that the base is substantially rigid and light weight;
- b) a flexible seat section, disposed over at least a portion of the rigid base, formed of an open cell foam and having an upper surface;
- c) a seat cover, covering at least a portion of the flexible seat section and extending under the rigid base to cover at least a portion of the base;
- and
- e) means for removably attaching the seat cover to the snowmobile, disposed on a portion of the seat cover extending under the rigid base to removably attach the seat cover to the snowmobile.
A snowmobile seat, comprising:
- a) a relatively flexible seat section disposed over a relatively rigid base, the flexible seat section and the rigid base being formed of different foam materials with the seat section formed of a relatively flexible foam and the base formed of a relatively rigid foam with respect to the flexible foam;
- b) a seat cover, covering at least a portion of the flexible seat section and extending under the rigid base to cover at least a portion of the rigid base;
- and
- c) at least one fastener, disposed on a portion of the seat cover extending under the rigid base to removably secure the seat cover to the snowmobile.
