Stadium seat

Abstract

A weight distribution and suspension system is disclosed. This system provides comfort for the human body in a seated position by using a plurality of foam layers of alternating densities and elasticities to form a seat cushion. In one embodiment, the system is comprised of a plurality of foam layers of alternating densities and elasticities, a vinyl cushion cover, a second layer of vinyl, covering the top surface and creating a pocket, a fabric cushion backing, a mesh pocket for holding small items, a nylon zipper, and one or more elastic bands for holding small items. In this embodiment the system is intended to provide user comfort in stadium seating.

1 . A weight distribution and suspension system for a human body in a seated position comprising a plurality of foam layers of alternating types, densities, and elasticities.  
     
     
         2 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layers are laminated together.  
     
     
         3 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layers are not laminated together and remain independent without adhesive or adhesion to another layer.  
     
     
         4 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of foam layers contains a quantity of layers laminated together and another quantity of layers that remain independent, without adhesive or adhesion to another layer, providing varying degrees of softness and retention of softness.  
     
     
         5 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein the foam layers are not of uniform thickness, providing varying degrees of softness and retention of softness.  
     
     
         6 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the foam layers is comprised of reticulated, open cell foam.  
     
     
         7 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the foam layers is comprised of closed cell foam.  
     
     
         8 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the foam layers is comprised of flexible polyurethane foam.  
     
     
         9 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of foam layers is comprised of a quantity of layers with reticulated, open cell foam and another quantity of layers with closed cell foam.  
     
     
         10 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 9 , further comprising one or more foam layers of flexible polyurethane foam.  
     
     
         11 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of foam layers is laminated together.  
     
     
         12 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 9 , wherein the foam layers are not laminated together and remain independent without adhesive or adhesion to another layer.  
     
     
         13 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of foam layers contains a quantity of layers laminated together and another quantity of layers that remain independent, without adhesive or adhesion to another layer, providing varying degrees of softness and retention of softness.  
     
     
         14 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 9 , wherein the closed cell foam layer is a low elasticity closed cell foam bonded to reticulated, open cell foam.  
     
     
         15 . The weight distribution and suspension system of  claim 10 , wherein the flexible polyurethane foam is high density, high resilience polyurethane foam.  
     
     
         16 . A seat cushion for a human body in a seated position comprising; 
 a plurality of foam layers of alternating densities and elasticities;    a vinyl cushion cover;    a second layer of vinyl, covering the top surface and creating a pocket;    a fabric covered cording;    a mesh pocket for holding small items;    a nylon zipper;    a nylon hand strap; and    one or more elastic bands for holding small items.    
     
     
         17 . The seat cushion of  claim 16 , further comprising a shoulder carrying strap.  
     
     
         18 . A method for assembling a weight distribution and suspension system for a human body in a seated position comprising; 
 selecting foam layers of one or more foam types, densities, and elasticities;    selecting foam layers of one or more foam thicknesses;    selecting whether the foam layers will be laminated to one another;    laminating foam layers to one another if selected;    assembling a plurality of foam layers into a vinyl cushion cover;    attaching a fabric covered cording; and    attaching accessories.
