The present invention relates to support apparatus for supporting at least a portion of a gluteal region of a user while the user is seated in a seating apparatus comprising a seating surface, a back support surface and a transition region at the intersection of the seating surface and the back support surface. The support apparatus a support member structured to support at least a portion of the gluteal region of the user. The support apparatus further comprises a support element structured to position the support member at the transition region of seating apparatus such that the support member extends between the seating surface and the back support surface of the seating apparatus.

A hybrid seating cushion made up of a cushion base and a cushion insert. The cushion base has a seating surface in which a void in or extending through the cushion base is formed. A cushion insert such as an air bladder or fluid sack is positioned within the void. A lip or upper surface around an opening in the void overhangs at least a portion of the cushion insert, thereby minimizing the size and corresponding negative effects of a transition area where the base and the insert overlap.

A dual-use support cushion includes a seat cushion side and a back cushion side, with the seat cushion side configured to provide seat support and the back cushion side configured to provide back support. The dual-use pillow is an all-in-one design that allows the owner to choose between using the dual-use support cushion as back support or as a seat support and the owner can manually flip the cushion depending on what side is more appropriate for the user at any given moment. The dual-use support cushion provides, in a single item, the option of sitting on the cushion, and the option for using the same cushion, after relocation of the cushion, for back support.

The present invention relates to a seat for infants and toddlers equipped with a ventilation cooling device, the seat comprising: an upper plate (10) in which a plurality of air intake ports (101) and air exhaust ports (102) are formed; a lower plate (20) coupled to a lower portion of the upper plate (10), and having an internal space partitioned, by means of a partition wall (201), into an intake space (202) and an exhaust space (203), wherein the two spaces communicate with each other through a vent portion (201a) having a predetermined size formed in the partition wall (201); a blowing fan (30), installed inside the intake space (202), for intaking air that is outside the air intake ports (101) and discharging same through the air exhaust ports (102) that communicate with the exhaust space (203); a power supply unit (40) for supplying power to the blowing fan (30); and an air guide (50), formed at a lower portion of the air exhaust ports (102), for guiding air discharge. According to the present invention, ventilation between a baby's body part in close contact with a seat surface and the seat surface in close contact with the body part, and cooling corresponding to the ventilation are smoothly performed by means of the blowing fan, such that excellent comfort can be provided, and it is possible to carry and store the seat easily.

A sit assist device (1) comprising a base (2) adapted to be supported by a seating surface, and a sitting platform (3) hingedly connected to the base (2) and movable between a raised position and a lowered position to assist a user to sit down onto and to stand up from the sitting platform (3). A primary biasing means (4) provides a primary resilient bias to resiliently bias the sitting platform (3) from the lowered position to the raised position over an operating range, thereby moving the sitting platform (3) from the lowered position to the raised position over the operating range as the user stands up from the sitting platform (3) and slowing the movement of the sitting platform (3) from the raised position to the lowered position over the operating range as the user sits down onto the sitting platform (3). A secondary biasing means (5) provides a secondary resilient bias to supplement the primary resilient bias over a portion of the operating range adjacent the lowered position.

The invention relates to outdoor furniture having a seat cushion having a cover material on the bottom and back sides so that the seat cushion that can be turned over and flipped front to back to protect the cushion from weather outdoors. The frame includes a seat pan support for supporting a seat assembly. The seat cushion assembly has a cushioned first surface and a covered second surface. In use, the seat cushion assembly may be configured for protection or may be configured for seating by a user by flipping the seat cushion assembly over and by flipping the seat cushion assembly from front to back.

An inflatable seat cushion comprising a cushion assembly and a control assembly. The cushion assembly has a base and a bladder. The base has a top surface and a bottom surface and a controller cavity. The bladder has a chamber and is positionable on the top surface of the base. The chamber has an inlet. The control assembly is within the controller cavity and has a housing, a pump and a first valve assembly. The pump is positioned within the housing and has an outlet. The first valve assembly has an actuator, an inlet, a vent outlet and a bladder outlet. The inlet coupled to the outlet of the pump. The actuator can place the inlet into communication with the bladder outlet and the vent outlet into communication with the bladder outlet. The bladder outlet of the first valve assembly is in communication with the inlet of the bladder.

A foldable cushion includes a cushion mechanism and a connecting mechanism. The cushion mechanism includes a seat unit and a back unit. The seat unit and the back unit are juxtaposed and movable relative to each other along a transverse folding line. The connecting mechanism includes a first endless cord and a second endless cord. The first endless cord and the second endless cord respectively extend through the transverse folding line and are flexibly arranged on the seat unit and the back unit. When the seat unit and the back unit are moved relative to the transverse folding line, the first endless cord and the second endless cord are stretched, so that the seat unit and the back unit are positioned at an expanded state by the elastic force of the first endless cord and the second endless cord.
