Benefits of technology

[0005] In accordance with the present invention, an integrated seat pad assembly is provided. The assembly includes an affixed gripping member that forms a pocket and prevents the pad from sliding during use. The gripping member is secured along its edge to the seat pad forming a pocket thereon. The grip...

Problems solved by technology

These types of non-attached gripping surfaces could become a safety hazard due to the likelihood of separation from the pad.
These designs folded with a fabric backing may be reversible but not stable without additional fasteners or fixtures to prevent shifting or rotating movement when weight is applied.
The seat cover can be folded at a mid plane to provide a means to overlay the fabric portion, but the overlay of two layers do not provide a means to resist slippage between the two layers, and are often big and bulky to store and to handle.
Some pads found constructed of polyvinyl chloride material may offer some slip resistance, but not always adequate in gripping mating surfaces, limiting in material selection.
A disadvantage of the above chair cushions with permanently att...

Embodiment Construction

[0030] While the invention described is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, they are shown in the drawing, specification and herein described in the detailed specific embodiments and is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments illustrated. Referring to FIG. 1 the seat pad 1 of the present invention is constructed of a first upper panel 10, and a second lower panel 15 comprising a semi-rigid or resilient fabric like material. The first upper panel 10, and second lower panel 15 may provide different materials, colors, textures or a design that may be provided by other conventional methods. A third side panel component 20 is provided between the first upper panel 10, and second lower panel 15 to be attached at least a portion of the outer perimeter of upper panel 10, and lower panel 15. The third side panel 20 may be fixedly attached to the upper panel 10, and lower panel 15, to at least a portion of the outer periphery to form a three dimensional shape. An...

Abstract

An improved seat pad and integrated gripping member is provided, which prevents the pad from slipping when placed between a seating surface and individual. The gripping member is permanently attached to the seat pad along its edge and covers a portion of either side of the seating surface. The gripping member is reversible therefore either side of the seat pad may be selectively exposed during use. This allows both seat pad sides to be constructed of different materials, colors, or patterns and be interchangeable when desired by the user.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention pertains to seat pads, and more particularly to seat pad assemblies that are constructed of a cushion, a non slip member and providing a multi functional, decorative, protective cover assembly for an individual to sit comfortably and securely on an adjoining surface or structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Many pads exist in the market today that have various shapes, sizes and fashion designs. Seat pads are sold in the market constructed mostly of a fabric like material, and it is not uncommon to find these materials made of synthetic, natural fibers or other man made materials. Filler materials such as foam or other like materials are used to create cushioning comfort in the pad. Pads are typically constructed to provide the same cushioning comfort when the pad is rotated from one side to the other. Chair pads, seat pads, decorative pillows and cushions (hereafter “pads”) are examples of articles that may be placed over a smooth s...
