Cushioning device

Abstract

A cushioning device includes a base member having an upper cloth member and a bottom cloth member, and two or more longitudinal resilient members disposed between the upper cloth member and the bottom cloth member for providing a resilience to the cushioning device. A coupling device includes a number of coupling members, such as fibers, secured between the upper and the bottom cloth members for coupling the upper and the bottom cloth members together. The longitudinal resilient members may include a tubular structure having a longitudinal bore for receiving an insert which may be made of gel materials, polyurethane materials or other synthetic materials.

1 . A cushioning device comprising: 
 a base member including an upper cloth member and a bottom cloth member, and    a first longitudinal resilient member disposed between said upper cloth member and said bottom cloth member, and    at least one second longitudinal resilient member disposed between said upper cloth member and said bottom cloth member for providing a resilience to said cushioning device.    
   
   
       2 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base member includes a coupling means for coupling said upper and said bottom cloth members together.  
   
   
       3 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said coupling means includes a plurality of coupling members secured between said upper and said bottom cloth members for coupling said upper and said bottom cloth members together.  
   
   
       4 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said coupling members are fibers.  
   
   
       5 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base member includes a first longitudinal chamber and at least one second longitudinal chamber formed therein for receiving said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members respectively.  
   
   
       6 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said upper and said bottom cloth members are made of woven cloth materials.  
   
   
       7 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said upper and said bottom cloth members are made of non-woven cloth materials.  
   
   
       8 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members include a tubular structure having a longitudinal bore formed therein.  
   
   
       9 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members each include an insert engaged into said longitudinal bore thereof.  
   
   
       10 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said insert is made of gel materials.  
   
   
       11 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said insert is made of polyurethane materials.  
   
   
       12 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said insert is made of resin materials.  
   
   
       13 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members each include a hose engaged through said longitudinal bores thereof and said hoses are coupled together.  
   
   
       14 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising means for connecting said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members together to form an inner cushioning layer.  
   
   
       15 . The cushioning device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said connecting means includes a cloth member connected between said first and said at least one second longitudinal resilient members.
