Definitions

  • This invention relates to back supporting cushions for seats and which are fitted as loose cushions to the backs of existing seats.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a back supporting cushion which can be used as a support for the back of a sitter in the manner of an orthopaedic back support.
  • a back supporting cushion has a rigid backing sheet and a body of resilient material disposed against said backing sheet for location against the back of a sitter and having a central area which in its upward extension is convexly curved on its surface remote from the backing sheet and two upwardly extending side supports, one on each side of the central area and which project forwardly of the central area.
  • Said central area may be formed by a single piece of material or it may be in the form of three adjoining and vertically extending sections.
  • the two outer sections are similar and the central section extends higher than the two outer sections.
  • the back supporting cushion comprises a rigid backing sheet 1 for example of plywood. Secured to the backing sheet 1 by adhesive is a body of resilient material for example of foam rubber or synthetic foamed material. A cushion cover (not shown) is tailored to fit over the cushion.
  • the body has a central area 2 and two similar side supports 3, one on each side of the central area 2 and which project forwardly of the central area 2.
  • the side supports 3 are made of a harder material, i.e. are less spongy, than the central area 2; for example, they are made of material known as 81b chip foam.
  • the central area 2 is in three adjoining and upwardly extending sections, namely a central section 4 and two similar outer sections 5 and 6. Each of the sections 4 to 6 is convexly curved in its upward extension.
  • the central section 4 extends higher than the two outer sections 5 and 6 and provides full support of the spine of a person sitting in the seat. Since the outer sections 5 and 6 end below the central section 4 the shoulder blades of a sitter can be comfortably accommodated on either side of the central section 4.
  • a typical construction of back supporting cushion in accordance with the invention and for use as a domestic cushion has the following dimensions. Its width a is 11 inches (27.94 cms) and its height b is 131 ⁇ 2 inches (34.29 cms).
  • the width d of the central section 4 is 4 inches (10.16 cms) and the width e of the outer sections 5 and 6 is 21 ⁇ 2 inches (6.35 cms).
  • the height of the central section 4 is 131 ⁇ 2 inches (34.29 cms) since this corresponds to b and the height f of the two outer sections 5 and 6 is 117 ⁇ 8 inches (30.16 cms).
  • the maximum depth h of the sections 4, 5 and 6 is 2 inches (5.08 cms) and their depth i at the bottom 3 ⁇ 4 inches (1.9 cms).
  • the height of the side supports 3 is 11 7 / 8 inches (30.16 cms) since this corresponds to f and their maximum depth k is 21 ⁇ 2 inches (6.35 cms).
  • the back supporting cushion being a loose cushion can be adjusted vertically so that the back of a- sitter is most comfortably located against the central area 2.
  • cushions in accordance with the invention can also be used on car seats.
  • the width a can be approximately the safe but the height b is 8 inches (20.32 cms).
  • the three sections 4, 5 and 6 all have the same height b of 8h inches (21.59 cms) or the central area 2 can be formed of a single piece of material.
  • the maximum depth h of the central area 2 is 13 ⁇ 4 inches (3.17 cms) and the depth d at the bottom is 3 ⁇ 4 inches (1.9 cms).
  • the height f of the side supports 3 is 8 inches (20.32 cms) and their maximum depth is 17 ⁇ 8 inches (4.76 cms).
  • side supports 3 having the rather full curve at their upper ends they can have a shallower curve as shown in chain-dotted line at 8 in Figure 2.
