Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 is a plan view of a foldable, portable seat cushion 101 in an embodiment of the present invention. Cushion 101 is shown in flat, unfolded condition in FIG. 1, and comprises contiguous areas 103 of relatively thick, resilient material, such as sturdy foam material, and areas 102 of relatively thin material. The longer more narrow areas of relatively thin material provide room for the thicker, resilient material to expand under the weight of a user.

[0017]Area 110 indicated by a dotted circle defines the larger area of relatively thin material, and is an area where a user's genital area and tailbone will be with the user sitting on cushion 101. The user's buttocks will be supported by areas 111, and the user's thighs by areas 112. Because the user is supported on the thicker areas 111 and 112, the user's genital area and tailbone have extra room, and do not support the user's weight.

[0018]Two fold lines 105 are indicated in FIG. 1, and their purpose is described in further...

Abstract

A portable, foldable seat cushion has a first planar section comprising a first layer of cushion material joined to a first rigid panel, the first section having a first overall height, a second planar section comprising a second layer of cushion material joined to a second rigid panel, the second section having a second overall height equal to the first overall height, and a fold section having a constant width of substantially twice the overall height of the sections, and a height no more than the height of one of the rigid panels, the fold section joined to each of the first and second sections along two fold lines, such that the seat cushion may be folded with one of the planar sections overlying the other.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to provisional patent application 60 / 904,991, filed Mar. 5, 2007, and the prior application is incorporated in its entirety at least by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is in the field of personal comfort apparatus, and pertains more particularly to a portable and foldable seat cushion.[0004]2. Discussion of the State of the Art[0005]Seat cushions and pillows are abundant and well-known in the art. But there remain unmet needs. For example, sports stadiums, except for VIP sections and luxury boxes, are typically provided with hard seats and benches, rather than cushioned seats or chairs. Many thousands of people attend sports events and concerts every day, and most are relegated to uncomfortable seating. Further, there are many among these people who are elderly, and some disabled, or suffering from conditions that make it doubly uncomfo...
