Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lumbar cushion having a gas bag with fixed air pressure.
  • a typical seat back normally cannot adaptively match the back profile of each person, for example, when driving a car, the lower back of a person normally cannot be nestled onto the seat back and is therefore normally not supported by the seat back. This may result in strain of the lumbar muscles and may bring soreness and pain.
  • lumbar cushions are widely used in the art.
  • a typical lumbar cushion is disposed on the cushion of the seat, and is fastened to the seat back by fastening means.
  • users are different in body height, their lumbars are also in different elevations, which make it difficult for a fastened lumbar cushion to align precisely to the lumbar of a user.
  • gas lumbar cushions in the art.
  • a typical gas lumbar cushion normally includes a gas bag which is fully inflated. However, if the gas bag is fully inflated, it will not be prone to deform when being pressed which may be less comfortable when being used, on the other hand, if the gas bag is not insufficiently inflated, it will not function as desired.
  • US 2013/0076091 A1 describes a lumbar support device comprising a flexible cover encasing a bag.
  • the bag comprises at least one compartment holding a predetermined amount of fluid or gas.
  • Fastening elements are engaged to the cover to secure the device to a seating apparatus.
  • the fastening elements may be realized in the form of a buckle for receiving engagement with a first belt-like end of the cover and a rod inserted into an insert of a second belt-like end of the cover.
  • the invention directs to a lumbar cushion having a gas bag with fixed air pressure, which can relieve fatigue.
  • the lumbar cushion according to this invention has a simple structure, easy to be assembled, and comfortable in use.
  • the invention can be implemented by providing:
  • Both sides of the enclosure having a contour of curved line or polyline.
  • the enclosure can comprise a front piece and a rear piece, the front piece and the rear piece are connected to one another at the perimeters thereof to form the inner lumen between the front piece and the rear piece.
  • a connecting piece is provided on the inner side of the front piece and the rear piece. An upper end of the gas bag is fixedly attached to the connecting piece.
  • the gas bag is provided in a middle portion of the enclosure.
  • the connector at the lower portion of the enclosure is a protruding bar.
  • the breathable material suitable for summer time can be sandwiched mesh fabric, three-dimensional breathable mesh fabric, or viscose fiber fabric.
  • the thermal insulating material suitable for winter time can be suede nap, genuine leather, or shearling.
  • the seat covers having a gas lumbar cushion in this invention are advantageous in that:
  • a lumbar cushion with fixed air pressure gas bag that can relieve fatigue is provided.
  • the lumbar cushion comprises an enclosure 1 of a flattened shape, a lumen formed within the enclosure 1.
  • the enclosure is made from flexible material.
  • a gas bag 2 is provided inside the lumen.
  • the gas bag is provided with an inner cavity that is filled with gas of fixed air pressure. To ensure the lumbar section can feel comfortable in all directions, the gas bag is filled with a small amount of gas.
  • the gas bag 2 is fixedly connected in the lumen, so that the contour of the lumen changes with the gas bag 2.
  • An upper portion of the enclosure forms a neck 3 for connecting to a snap-fit connector, and a lower portion of the enclosure forms a connector for connecting to a seat.
  • Both sides 4, 5 of the enclosure have a contour of curved line or polyline.
  • the enclosure can also be configured to other shapes, such as cucurbit shape, or reversed cucurbit shape, according to actual design requirements.
  • the enclosure 1 comprises a front piece and a rear piece, the front piece and the rear piece are connected to one another at the perimeters to form a lumen between the front piece and the rear piece.
  • the front piece and the rear piece are normally attached to one another via concealed seam processes, but they can also be connected via zippers, snap-buttons or regular buttons.
  • a connecting piece 6 is provided on the inner side of the front piece and the rear piece.
  • An upper end of the gas bag 2 is fixedly attached to the connecting piece 6.
  • the gas bag is attached to the connecting piece by sewing.
  • zippers, snap-buttons, and regular buttons can also be used for attaching the gas bag to the connecting piece.
  • the gas bag 2 is provided in a middle portion of the enclosure. In use, the gas bag is arranged in the lumbar section to ensure the lumbar section of the body can feel the comfortable automated adjustment function from all directions.
  • the connector at the lower portion of the enclosure 1 is a protruding bar 7.
  • the lower portion of the enclosure 1 is disposed in the seam between the seat bottom and the seat back of the seat.
  • the protruding bar 7 extends through the seam between the bottom portion and the back portion, that is, the low portion of the cushion can be fixedly connected to the corner of the seat back to facilitate attachment.
  • the front piece of the enclosure is made from breathable material suitable for the summer, the rear piece is made from thermal insulating material suitable for winter time.
  • the front piece is made from thermal insulating material suitable for winter time, the rear piece is made from breathable material suitable for summer time.
  • the front piece and the rear pierce are both made from thermal insulating material suitable for winter time; or the front piece and the rear piece are both made from breathable material suitable for summer time.
  • the breathable material suitable for summer time can be sandwiched mesh fabric, three-dimensional breathable mesh fabric, or viscose fiber fabric.
  • the thermal insulating material suitable for winter time can be suede nap, genuine leather, or shearling, or other thermal insulating materials.
  • the cushion can be used in both winter and summer. Thus, in addition to the convenience and comfortableness bought by the cushion, the total cost can be lowered as preparation of separate cushions for different seasons may not be necessary.
  • the neck 3 of the enclosure 1 is connected with a dedicated snap-fit connector 8, the dedicate snap-fit connector 8 is hung on the steel rods of the head rest, the protrusion bar in the lower portion is fixedly connected to the corner of the seat back.
  • the connection between the neck portion and the snap-fit connector 8 is adjustable so that the vertical position of the gas bag 2 is adjustable.
  • the gas contained within the gas bag can travel within the gas bag in response to the external force applied thereon as it has a fixed air pressure.
  • the gas may flow freely within the gas bag 2 so as to fit the lumbar section of the human body to bring comfortableness and to relieve fatigue.
