Abstract
A hollow body for use as a seat pad is provided. The hollow body includes a generally planar resting region, a generally planar sitting region substantially parallel to the resting region and a transition region extending therebetween. The transition region is of generally donut or toroid shape. The resting region, sitting region and toroid region may be formed from a plastic skin. Hollow interior portions may be filled with a fluid.
Claims18
A hollow body for use as a seat pad, said hollow body comprising a substantially planar resting region (20), a substantially planar sitting region (10) disposed in spaced parallel relationship to said resting region (20), and a circular transition region (30) extending continuously between and connecting peripheral areas of the resting region (20) and the sitting region (10) such that a single, continuous, uninterrupted fluid-receiving chamber is defined between said resting region (20), said sitting region (10) and said transition region (30), said resting and sitting regions (20, 10) each including outer surfaces facing away from said chamber, said outer surfaces of said resting and sitting regions (20, 10) each including an array of continuous concentrically disposed slip-resisting projections (42, 44) for preventing slipping of said resting region (20) relative to a supporting surface and for preventing slipping of a person seated on said sitting region (10).
A hollow body according to claim 10, characterized by the fact that said projections (42, 42', 42", 44, 44', 44") have a thickness within the range of 0.2 to 0.3 mm.
