| 297199000 | Pneumatic cushion | 9 |
| 20080224506 | Seat With Adjustable Omnidirectional Suspension - A seat includes a bladder assembly having a plurality of pneumatic bladders arranged one within another. The compressibility of each pneumatic bladder is based at least in part on a pressure within the pneumatic bladder, and/or on a thickness of an outer layer that defines the shape of the pneumatic bladder. In a configuration, an inner bladder is inflatable independently from an outer bladder, for adjustable, targeted support and compressibility. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090261632 | Bicycle Saddle - A bicycle saddle comprises a saddle including front and rear portions; an elastic member disposed between the front and rear portions; a valve assembly installed to bottom of the saddle between the front and middle portions and including an air pump and an air escape valve communicating with the elastic member. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100164260 | SHOCK-ABSORBING DEVICE FOR SEATING STRUCTURES AND SEATING STRUCTURE INCORPORATING SUCH DEVICE - A shock absorbing device for mounting to a bicycle saddle-type seating structure, includes at least one main hollow body ( | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110057485 | BICYCLE SEATPOST ASSEMBLY - A bicycle seatpost assembly is provided with a pair of telescopically tubes, a floating piston, a valve unit and a flow control part. One end of the second tube is open such that one end of the first tube is telescopically disposed in the second tube. The floating piston forms a gas chamber in a first tube. The valve unit is immovably disposed with respect to a second tube and divides the first tube into first and second fluid chambers. The flow control part moves relative to the valve unit such that fluid flows from the second fluid chamber to the first fluid chamber through the valve unit when the flow control part is in a first position, and such that fluid flows from the first fluid chamber to the second fluid chamber through the valve unit when the flow control part is in a second position. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20140300150 | PNEUMATIC CUSHION WITH VARIABLE CONFIGURATION & CONSTRICTION - A bladder formed inside or positioned on a seat accounts for variations in personal anatomy with changes in the configurations of multiple chambers in the bladder and may also allow for changes to the constriction between the chambers in the bladder. The bladder forms a cushioning device that is used for seating applications which involve movement and continuously changes softness between the chambers by using the movement of the rider. Rider movement results in the interchange of pressures through variable-sized orifices between variable-displacement chambers. The number and size of the chambers can be varied according to a desired seating configuration. The orifice size can be changed with a variable constriction mechanism. Different fastening configurations can change the number and shape of the chambers. The cushioning device can be used in retrofitting existing seats and can be produced in new seats. | 10-09-2014 |
| 20150298752 | DISTINGUISHING SYSTEM FOR SADDLE CONTACTING MODE - A distinguishing system for a saddle contacting mode includes a saddle and a deformable pressure sensing apparatus. The deformable pressure sensing apparatus is disposed on the saddle, wherein the deformable pressure sensing apparatus deforms in response to a sitting pressure, and a saddle type is determined in accordance with the deformation. The deformable pressure sensing apparatus can actually acquire the pelvis contact shape. The deformation is visible on the saddle after the sitting pressure is released, and the deformation can be compared with a comparison table to determine the suitable saddle type for the user instantly. Therefore, the distinguishing system could save the test time and reduce the production cost. | 10-22-2015 |
| 20150298753 | MOTORCYCLE SEAT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A seat comprising a base pan defining cutouts positioned under a seating area for a seated user, a resilient membrane over the cutouts, a cushion on the base pan, at least one air cell pad on the cushion at the seating area and a cover. | 10-22-2015 |
| 297200000 | Plural independent compartments | 2 |
| 20120292958 | MOTORCYCLE SEAT CUSHION - A motorcycle seat cushion comprising a base with an array of upstanding air cells across the base. In one aspect, the air cells are interconnected such that pressure is spread cross a wider area to reduce pressure points. There are external air flow pathways between the cells that allow air to circulate among the cells to disperse heat and moisture. There is a midline pathway that is positioned under the perineum and coccyx of the rider to provide pressure relief to the perineum, prostate and coccyx of the male rider. In one aspect, the cushion includes a cover having top and side walls of the cover constructed from a two-way stretch material. The cover has air vents that functionally align with at least some of the air flow pathways to promote the flow of ambient air into the air flow pathways. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20160009327 | SEAT INCLUDING INFLATABLE BLADDER AND ELECTRICALLY POWERED AIR COMPRESSOR | 01-14-2016 |
