Flexible bamboo chair pad

Abstract

A bamboo Chair pad that can be manufactured from 100% Anji Mountain bamboo from China. The bamboo is all treated with various protective coatings to add resistance to natural factors including water, sun and dirt. All bamboo chair pads can be manufactured from the harder portions of the bamboo trunk. (Some bamboo is manufactured from the softer fibers of the inside of the bamboo trunk). This portion of the bamboo trunk is not utilized for this invention. The bamboo utilized in the present inventions is taken from the harder part of the bamboo trunk to assure maximum endurance and longevity. The lower trunk portion of the bamboo plant is harder and less porous.

1 . An chair pad comprising:
 a plurality of elongated flat bamboo planks arranged lengthwise and side by side and each plank connected in a substantially abutting relationship with respect to an adjacent plank by at least one fibrous tape strip connected orthogonally to the said flat bamboo planks for forming a bamboo layer portion of the chair pad;   a fibrous mesh sheet applied on the underside of the bamboo layer portion of the chair pad;   a resin material layer applied to the fiber mesh sheet underside bonding the mesh sheet to the underside of the bamboo layer portion of the chair pad; and   a high density layer made of matted felt, rubber, or polymer padding bonded over and to the resin material layer, wherein the slats, tape, mesh and high density layer are pressure rolled for bonding.   
   
   
       2 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 1 , where the bamboo planks are kiln dried to prevent warping. 
   
   
       3 . The chair pad of  claim 2 , wherein the bamboo planks are either oxidized or carbonized in a boiling vat of liquid for coloring the bamboo slats. 
   
   
       4 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the resin layer is a mastic resin layer. 
   
   
       5 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the bamboo planks are made of the harder lower trunk portions of the bamboo, and with the planks have several layers of urethane coating applied thereto. 
   
   
       6 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the high density layer is made of matted sisal. 
   
   
       7 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the fibrous tape strip is a polymeric fiber. 
   
   
       8 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the fiber mesh sheet is a nylon fiber mesh sheet. 
   
   
       9 . The chair pad as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the peripheral shape is substantially rectangular and where adjacent corners are notched away.
