Abstract: The present disclosure relates to cushioning members, methods of making and methods of using, particularly to cushioning members comprising a plurality of spaced apart pillars comprising a polymeric material.

Abstract: A collapsible, aesthetically pleasing, impact-protective sleeve for fragile articles having as a primary structural component molded foam panels having integrally molded pillars on an exterior surface of the sleeve, on an interior surface of the sleeve, or on both the exterior and interior surfaces of the sleeve. The sleeve may comprise one or more molded foam body panels, arranged in the shape of a cylinder, or other shape. Molded foam top and bottom panels may include features that are configured to interact with top and bottom portions of a fragile article for additional protection.

Abstract: A novel and unique bicycle seat for a rider includes a base having a base top surface with an inflatable bladder having a bladder top surface. The inflatable bladder is disposed on the base top surface and the base top surface and the bladder top surface together form a seat contour profile. A pump is connected to the inflatable bladder to introduce fluid media therein with a release valve fluidly connected to the bladder to permit fluid media to exit therefrom. Also, the bicycle seat of the present invention can be configured to be in the form of a cover to be retrofitted to an existing bicycle seat. In this configuration, the cover includes a base with a structure for securing it to the existing bicycle seat. For example, this structure can be a skirt of material or other releasable type of structure.

Abstract: A thermoformed cushioning material, a method of making and products formed with the cushioning material are provided herein.

Abstract: An adjustable wrist rest assembly includes a base housing and a pump assembly residing in the housing. A bladder is provided in fluid communication with the pump where the bladder is configured and arranged to receive a user's wrist region thereon. A optional pump button may be connected to the pump assembly with an optional release button connected to the pump assembly. The configuration of the bladder custom adjusts the receipt of the user's wrist region thereon and the comfort associated therewith.

Abstract: The handle construction of the present invention includes a low durometer grip portion that provides comfort and an ergonomic benefit to the user. The handle includes a rigid core with a gel member received in a recessed seat. The gel member preferably has a durometer of 65 Shore 00 or less. A thin top finish layer, of elastomeric or polymer film, is optionally provided on the top of the gel member, such as in a thickness of less than 4 thousandths of an inch in thickness (<4 mil) to provide a durable and aesthetic surface. The combination of the molded low durometer gel member, with an otherwise rigid handle, allows for the creation of an overall handle that has areas that are more rigid along with areas that exhibit a very soft feel.
