Abstract
A seat pad is provided with a lower pad member and a upper pad member that is attached to the lower pad member by an adhesive. A pair of projections is formed at the front portion of the seat pad. A concave is defined between the projections. The upper surface of the seat pad is inclined to be lower toward the front end of the seat pad when the seat pad is put on a seat of a chair. When a person sits on the seat pad, a pelvis is held in a proper position, which improves the flow of blood and the behavior of nerve.
Claims20
A posture correcting device comprising:
- an upper pad member having a substantially uniform thickness, a front end, a rear end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the top surface and the bottom surface being planar from the front end to the rear end;
- and
- a lower pad member having a plurality of sections, the plurality of sections including:
- a first section having a substantially uniform thickness, a front end, a rear end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the top surface of the first section contacting the bottom surface of the upper pad member so that the rear end of the first section lies adjacent to the rear end of the upper pad member;
- and
- a second section having a non-uniform thickness, a front end, a rear end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the top surface of the second section contacting the bottom surface of the upper pad member so that the rear end of the second section contacts the front end of the first section, wherein the bottom surface of the second section is angled with respect to the bottom surface of the first section so that a thickness of the rear end of the second section is greater than a thickness of the front end of the second section,
- wherein the upper pad member includes a pair of projections that extend away from the front end of the upper pad member, and wherein a concave region is defined between the projections.

A posture correcting device comprising:
- an upper pad member having a substantially uniform thickness, a first front end, and a first rear end;
- a lower pad member contacting the upper pad member, the lower pad member having a second front end and a second rear end, the second front end having a first thickness, the second rear end having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness;
- and
- a slit having a thickness, a length, and a width, the slit extending through the upper and lower pad members such that the thickness of the slit is equal to a combined thickness of the upper and lower pad members, the slit extending from the first rear end to a point between the first rear end and the first front end so that the length of the slit is from the first rear end to the point, a width at the first rear end being less than a width at the point, and the width of the slit gradually increases from the first rear end to the point.
