Benefits of technology

[0005]It is an object of the present invention to provide an inflatable chair cushion which assists getting up from and sitting down on a chair of a user.
[0006]Another object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable chair cushion which is inexpensive.
[0007]A further object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable chair cushion which has a low weight and hence is easy to transport.

Problems solved by technology

Elderly persons and those who are handicapped at lower body parts have difficulties to get up from a sitting position and to sit down.
However, the assisting chair 50 has a high volume and weight and hence is hard to move.
However, the assisting chair 60 has a complicated structure, a large weight and high manufacturing cost.
Furthermore, adjusting a lifting force of the lifting device 65 to persons of various weights is necessary, since too large a lifting force cannot be overcome by a user for sitting down, and too small a lifting force will not prevent the user from rapidly falling to a seated position, which is dangerous.
