Abstract
An anatomically corrected seating element set includes improved and enhanced seating tools in an improved type of seating apparatus. Processes for disposing a user and posture ameliorating tools and subcomponent products are likewise caught. Silicone extension elements add substantial benefits and are heretofore undisclosed, within the context of a system for enhancing ischial tuberosity support and venous blood flow.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A material comprising an arrangement of resiliently deformable elements wherein the material comprises at least one outer element with a hollow interior and at least one insert element, wherein the insert element is arranged inside the hollow interior of the outer element.
2 . A material according to claim 1 , in which the elements are silicon elements.
3 . A material according to claim 2 , in which at least one of the elements is an elongate element.
4 . A material according to claims 3 , in which at least one of the following is predetermined according to the application in winch the material is intended to be used:
the dimensions of at least one outer element and/or insert element the clearance between at least outer element and the associated insert element the durometer at least one the outer element and/or insert element the shape of at least one outer element and/or the insert element the tension of at least one outer element and/or the insert element.
5 . A material according to claim 4 , which comprises a plurality of outer and insert elements arranged to form a sheet of material.
6 . A material according to claim 5 , in which the outer elements and/or the insert elements may have different physical properties across the sheet of material.
7 . A material according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of elements are insect elements effective to use without outer elements.
8 . In a venous blood flow enhancing ischial tuberosity support system having at least two primary material densities, an A-configured structural geometry for alignment of the ischial tuberosities in a desired position under the lumbar spine, which increases cross-sectional areas of a user's veins proximal to the groin, the improvement which comprises, in combination:
at least a supplemental silicon member having individuated and fully recoverable memory, disposed at, at least one location therein.
9 . The venous blood flow enhancing ischial tuberosity support systems according to claim 8 , said at least one location being at least one of disposed in a chevron-like pattern associated with said A-configured structural geometry; along a principal axis of a ray-like projection extending from the vertex of the chevron, and extending about the axis of said ray-like projection member.
10 . The venous blood flow enhancing ischial tuberosity support systems according to claim 8 , wherein respective densities of said at least two primary densities differs according to the application for which it is designed.
11 . In a seating apparatus tot preventing muscle fatigue and cushioning the spine to increase lordosis in the lumbar spine, which comprises a wedge-shaped cushion have a top and a bottom, whereby the top's substantially planar parallel to a surface upon which the seating apparatus stands, and a bottom which houses two projecting members each in geometric configuration of a ray whose vertex is at a back portion of the seating apparatus, which abuts a user's back when seated for improving venous outflow from the lower extremities in the sitting position by decreasing venous obstruction at the femoral vein level and the relative position and placement of the two projecting members is determined by capturing a distance measurement for a user's ischial tuberosities to optimize receiving pelvis weight bearing on each of the ischial tuberosities of the involved users. The improvement further comprising disposing a plurality of silicon tubes and rods at critical locations within the seating apparatus to varying stiffness and load-bearing capacity.
12 . In a seating apparatus for preventing muscle fatigue and cushioning the spine to increase lordosis, in the lumbar spine comprising a wedge-shaped cushion having a top and a bottom, whereby the top is substantially planar parallel to a surface upon which the seating apparatus stands, and a bottom which houses two projecting members each in a geometric configuration of a ray whose vertex is at a back portion of the seating apparatus, which abuts a users back when seated for improving venous outflow from the lower extremities in the sitting position by decreasing venous obstruction at the femoral vein level; and
Using parameters including a distance measurement for a user's ischial tuberosities to optimize receiving pelvis weight bearing on each of the ischial tuberosities of the involved user by altering the relative orientation of the two projecting members each in the geometric configuration of a ray whose vertex is at the back portion of the seating apparatus, the improvement which comprises, in combination:
at least arranging silicon rods and tubes, in geometric shapes selected from the group consisting of rods, tubes, triangles, diamonds, and combinations thereof at the searing applications.
13 . A process for enhancing a seating construction, comprising, in combination:
providing a plurality of silicon elements to be incorporated into the same; and bolstering desired aspects of the seating construction by attaching said plurality of elements to the seating configuration.
14 . The process of claim 13 , further comprising silicon rods and tubes which surround them.
15 . The process of claim 13 , further comprising an assembly of triangles and rods.
16 . The process of claim 14 , further comprising diamond-shaped elements.
17 . The process of claim 13 , wherein attaching further comprises emplacing the silicon elements within predetermined areas of the seating construction.
18 . The process of claim 17 , wherein attaching further comprises caulking.
19 . The process of claim 13 , said attaching step comprising at least one of bonding with glues, melting, and otherwise permanently affixing silicon-elements.
20 . A product, by the process of claim 19 .Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
