Abstract
A cushion includes a body having a first portion including a first material and a second portion including a second material. The second portion is arranged on an outer surface of the first portion. A vibrator mechanism is located at at least one of the first portion and the second portion and is operable to generate vibrations detectable at a region of an exterior surface of the second portion. A control unit is operably coupled to the vibrator mechanism and is embedded within at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
Claims18
A cushion comprising:
- a body comprising
- a first portion comprising a first material, and
- a second portion comprising a second material, wherein the second portion is arranged on an outer surface of the first portion;
- a vibrator mechanism located at at least one of the first portion and the second portion, wherein the vibrator mechanism is operable to generate vibrations detectable at a region of an exterior surface of the second portion;
- and
- a control unit operably coupled to the vibrator mechanism, the control unit being embedded within at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
A cushion comprising:
- a body comprising a rigid structure, a portion of the rigid structure being located at an exterior of the body and comprising a transmissible surface;
- and
- a vibrator mechanism located within the body, wherein the rigid structure is mechanically coupled to the vibrator mechanism such that vibrations generated by the vibrator mechanism are detectable at the transmissible surface;
- and
- a control unit positioned within the body, the control unit being operably coupled to the vibrator mechanism.
A method of manufacturing a cushion, the method comprising:
- providing a body comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion is arranged on the first portion;
- disposing a vibrator mechanism within at least one of the first portion or the second portion, wherein the vibrator mechanism is operable to generate vibrations detectable at a region of an outer surface of the second portion;
- and
- coupling a control unit to the vibrator mechanism.
