A bellows device can contain fluid product, such as gasses or liquids. The device can include a series or plurality of pouches attached or otherwise operatively affixed in a manner that provides fluid communication between the pouches to facilitate expansion and contraction, much like an accordion. One or more of the pouches can include one or more apertures or holes defined in one or more portions of a panel portion. One or more affixation patches can be included to provide the structure for attaching the pouches in a serial manner to define the bellows device to facilitate fluid communication between the pouches. One or more apertures or holes are defined in the patch for alignment with the aperture of a first pouch, and an aperture of an adjacent second pouch, to facilitate fluid communication between adjacent pouches.

A motor vehicle seat having a backrest and a seat part, at least one flexible, fluid-fillable hollow body attached to the seat part or the backrest, and at least two chambers that are in fluid communication with one another. The chambers are arranged one on top of the other and have in their walls corresponding passages which enable a fluid exchange between the chambers. The chambers are firmly connected to one another in the region of the passages, wherein the volume of the lowermost chamber adjacent to the seat part or the backrest is the largest and the volume of each additional chamber is smaller compared with the volume of the chamber below it. The chambers are arranged one on top of the other such that the maximum lift of the fluid-fillable hollow body when it is being filled with fluid is outside the center of the lowermost chamber.

A chair facilitates both rocking and bouncing. The chair includes a base adapted to support a seating portion, the seating portion having a surface adapted to be sat on by a user. The seating portion has a bouncing mechanism, such as an exercise ball. A rocking mechanism is provided to cause the base to rock. The rocking mechanism facilitates the rocking back and forth of the user when the user is seated on the seating portion, and the bouncing mechanism facilitates the bouncing of the user when the user is seated on the seating portion. The bouncing is in a bouncing direction that is different than the direction of rocking. The chair is particularly useful for calming a baby and/or for facilitating stimming.

Inflatable coveralls provide individuals, who fall frequently, with protection and independence. The coveralls consist of pads on the shoulders and hips to reduce the impact of a fall on the person. When worn and located underneath the fallen person, the coveralls can be inflated with air into a chair, creating a higher platform from which the person can more easily get up. This reduces the dependence these individuals have on a caregiver. Users can fasten the coveralls using hook & loop or magnets, instead of buttons or zippers, because it is easier to wear and they automatically open from the increase in air pressure of the inflated coveralls. Made of lightweight and air-impermeable material, the inflatable coveralls pads the fall of individual and elevated the fallen individual so that they can more easily rise, allowing them to gain independence.

A toting apparatus can include a bucket, a combination lid and seat cushion, and a harness for carrying the apparatus while the lid covers the top opening of the bucket and the cushion is in the inflated or deflated configuration. The cushion can be formed by a drop-stitch type bladder inflatable using a common hand-operated bicycle pump. The harness can include a belt that wraps around the bucket and a pair or diametrically spaced-apart straps that adjustably and snuggly attach to a central handle structure atop the lid. Various corresponding patches of hook-and-vane style fabric fasteners allow for releasable affixation of various components of the apparatus. Thus the harness can be made of durable flexible fabric.

A fitness device is provided, the fitness device comprising: an elastomeric member having an interior cavity, the elastomeric member comprising a cylindrical portion extending between a first hemispherical endcap and a second hemispherical endcap, wherein a surface of the elastomeric member defines an aperture positioned between the interior cavity and an exterior of the elastomeric member; and a structured surface positioned on the surface of the elastomeric member over the aperture, the structured surface extending into the interior cavity of the elastomeric member.

An adjustable seat system for use with a vehicle, with the system including a cushion associated with a passenger seat of the vehicle. The cushion includes a support structure and a bladder encapsulating the support structure, wherein the support structure is formed from a porous foam material. The system also includes an actuator in communication with the bladder, wherein the actuator is configured to selectively adjust the hardness of the cushion by inflating and deflating the bladder.
