Ventilated seat cover apparatus

Abstract

A ventilated seat cover apparatus includes an understructure assembly which includes a pair of side pipe assemblies and a plurality of transverse pipes connected between the side pipe assemblies. The transverse pipes include plural air-venting apertures, and the side pipe assemblies include end portions which have removable and replaceable pipe plugs. A porous understructure-cover sheet covers the understructure assembly, and a flexible hose is connected to the understructure assembly. Cushion units are placed between neighboring transverse pipes. The understructure assembly may include a seat portion and a back portion connected to the seat portion by a pair of flexible interconnector hoses. Straps are used to connect the seat portion and the back portion to a seat and a seat back, respectively. The side pipe assemblies include sequential arrays of T-shaped members alternating with straight members. The transverse pipes are connected to perpendicular portions of opposing T-shaped members in opposing side pipe assemblies. A DC battery-powered dedicated blower assembly is connected to the flexible hose for use on a vehicle seat. The blower assembly includes an air filter for filtering air drawn in by the blower assembly. Alternatively, a vent adaptor is connected to the flexible hose for connecting the flexible hose to a source of ventilation which has an already in-use blower motor and an already in-use vent. A Y-shaped connector may be used to connect one blower to two seat portions.
