  • Patent number: 5713631
    Abstract: A seating support cushion system has a seat cushion with an H-shaped inflatable cell, with the sides of the "H" extending parallel to a cushion axis that corresponds to the longitudinal axis of a person sitting on the cushion, and therefore parallel to the thighs. The crossbar cell is midway in the cushion, forward of the location of the position of the ischial tuberosities of a person supported on the cushion. A pair of inner cells fill in the voids of the "H" shape, with one cell in the rear of the cushion positioned for supporting the ischial tuberosities. This rear cell also preferably has a recess for receiving the coccyx without significant pressure, and a secondary crossbar portion adjacent to the crossbar cell. A back cushion has two sets of alternatingly inflated, laterally extending cells forming a spinal recess and contoured to conform to the shape of a person's back.
