Multi-functional seating and resting device

Abstract

Described herein is a multi-functional seating and resting device. The device is generally comprised of a pair of hemispheres forming a hexagonal shape and movable between a first position and a second position. The first position generally forms the hexagonal structure defining an interior core with a cavity for the placement of items. In the second position, the hemispheres are generally placed in an adjacent position next to each other to form a surface for seating on by a user. The device is preferably constructed from a foam material for comfort and durability.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]The foam structure of the inner core wrapped in fabric to improve durability and appearance. The hinged coupling of the pair of hemispheres comprising a fabric web generally extending at least an entire depth of the structure. In the preferred assembly of the present disclosure, the fabric web coupled to an extended strap with fasteners to enable the device to be secured to structure it is placed upon.

[0014]The hexagonal shape of the device is specifically selected to offer a benefit to a user of the device while the device is placed in the second position and sat upon. Accordingly, the hinged assembly and hexagonal shape creates a valley between the pair of hemispheres, wherein this valley provides orthopedic support by properly aligning the hip and knees and encouraging good posture. Further, the valley offers relief to pressure applied on the coccyx bone of a user during sitting while using the device.

Problems solved by technology

Frequently, the surfaces offered to this user can be very hard and uncomfortable over this extended period, wherein the individual is forced to stand, stretch, move, or leave the event.

Although these chairs provide additional comfort to a user, they lack additional helpful and useful features.

Although useful, the carrying of an additional item can be cumbersome and undesirable.
