Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a furniture appliance, and particularly to a seat pad swayable according to various sitting postures.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional seat pad is always made in fixed type. The seat pad is correspondingly fixedly attached to a chair, so as to bear the weight of a sitter or articles. However, the sitter will not always maintain a sitting posture. Especially, a sitter who will sit for a long time will, with no doubt, change the sitting posture frequently, so that the center of gravity of the sitter changes accordingly. As a result, seat pad will counteract with various pressures in different directions and levels, and the counteracted pressure from the seat pad will apply to the sitter. As the sitter is seated in an improper sitting posture for a long time, the counteracted pressure can cause bad blood circulation, dullness or numbness et al. which is harmful to healthy.

The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a seat pad which is swayable according to various sitting postures so that one's blood circulation will not be hindered and uncomfortableness due to sitting for a long time can be obviated.

To achieve the above and other objects, a seat pad includes a base plate, a meddle plate, a foam layer, a cushion member, a fixation plate and a fixation screw. The fixation plate is disposed correspondingly above a meddle region of the meddle plate, the meddle plate is disposed on the cushion member, the cushion member is disposed on the base plate, the fixation screw is disposed through a through hole of the base plate at a meddle region of the base plate and screwed with the fixation plate, and the foam layer is attached on the meddle plate.

Whereby, the seat pad is simple in structure and easy to assemble and can obviate pressure of one's hips, and one's blood circulation will not be hindered and uncomfortableness due to sitting for a long time can be obviated.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a breakdown drawing of a seat pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a seat pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and

FIG. 3 is a view showing a seat pad in use according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a seat pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided. The seat pad includes a base plate 1, a cushion member 2, a fixation plate 3, a meddle plate 4, a foam layer 5 and a fixation screw 6.

The fixation plate 3 is disposed correspondingly above a meddle region of the meddle plate 4. The meddle plate 4 is disposed on the cushion member 2. The meddle plate 4 is preferably made of a composite material including nylon or other plastic material which has characteristic of resilience. The cushion member 2 is disposed on the base plate 1. The cushion member 2 is preferably made of rubber or the like which can provide deformation and sway ability of the seat pad so as to avoid stress concentration due to displacement of element(s). The fixation screw 6 is disposed through a through hole of the base plate 1 at a meddle region of the base plate 1 and screwed with the fixation plate 3. The foam layer 5 is attached on the meddle plate 4.

When a sitter is seated on the seat pad which is swayable, the center of gravity of the sitter will change according to various sitting postures. As the center of gravity moves forward, the front end of the seat pad sways downward; as the center of gravity moves rearward, the rear end of the seat pad sways downward; as the center of gravity moves rightward, the right end of the seat pad sways downward; as the center of gravity moves leftward, the left end of the seat pad sways downward.

Given the above, the seat pad is simple in structure and easy to assemble. Furthermore, the seat pad is swayable according to various sitting postures which can obviate pressure of one's hips, such that one's blood circulation will not be hindered and uncomfortableness due to sitting for a long time can be obviated.

Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.

Claims
