An anti-thrust seating system (1) and low profile, adjustable back system (2) primarily intented for use in a wheelchair (3). The anti-thrust seating system includes a base seating member (7) with a forward section (15) to support the user's thighs and a rearward section (17) to support the user's buttocks including the ischial tuberosities. The upper surfaces of the forward and rearward sections meet to form an edge (33) extending across the base seating member (7). The upper surface of the rearward section has two portions which form a first step face or anti-thrust barrier (29) to the user's ischial tuberosities. The seating further includes at least one separate step means (41) that can be removably positioned adjacent and rearwardly of the first step face (29) wherein the separate step means has a second step face (29'). The separate step means also has an upper surface (21') which serves to effectively extend the thigh supporting surface or shelf rearwardly. The adjustable back system has first and second relatively rigid shell members (6, 8) with a back cushion (10) removably attached to the second or forward shell member (8).

An adjustable cover (5) and seating system (1) for a wheelchair (3). The cover (5) has an enclosure portion (35, 37) and a skirt section (53) extending about the sides of the enclosure portion (35, 37) and downwardly under the lower section (37) of the enclosure portion. The enclosure portion (35, 37) can be placed over the seating members (7) and secured in place by a zipper (41) to encase the seating member (7). The skirt section (53) can then be pulled to draw the skirt section downwardly which, in turn, draws the upper section (35) of the enclosure portion snugly across the top of the seating members. The system includes a slit or cut-out fluid pad (9) forming sides (2) which can be positioned to straddle a removable accessory such as an abductor (11).
摘要:
A seating system (1) primarily intended for use with wheelchairs. The seating system (1) includes a relatively rigid, shaped tray (5) and a fluid pad (7). The tray (5) has a forward section (11) to support the user's thighs and a rearward section (13) with a depressed, contoured seating well (17) to support the user's buttocks including his ischial tuberosities (21). The seating well (17) includes a bottom portion (19) and a U-shaped rim portion (19') extending about it. The fluid pad (7) contains a fixed volume of incompressible fluid and is provided and dimensioned to be bunched up and received in the seating well (17) of the tray (5). The seating system (1) also includes a self-adjusting feature to automatically and properly fit a user based on his weight. This is accomplished in the preferred embodiments by adding a layer of resilient, compressible foam (9) over the upper surface (19') of the rim portion of the seating well (17) between the fluid pad (7) and the rim portion.
摘要:
The invention describes a seat back system (20-30-10) for wheelchairs which provides for height adjustability of the back, adjustment of the tilt of the back, a lumbar support (120, 130) which may be positioned to fit the specific height required by the wheelchair user independent of the height of the back, and provides for contoured, adjustable lateral support. The back system (20-30-10) may be readily attached to or detached from a wheelchair, in order to fold up the wheelchair for transportation or storage. The wheelchair back system (20-30-10) may be used on new wheelchairs and may be retrofitted on existing wheelchairs to replace existing back structures

A seating system (2) for wheelchairs and other applications. The seating system (2) includes a base member (6) with an upper surface (8) and a fluid pad (7) positioned on the upper surface (8). The upper surface (8) is preferably contoured and dimensioned to have areas (12, 14, 16) corresponding to the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16') as well as the user's femurs (18', 22') including trochanters (20', 24'). The fluid pad (7) in the preferred embodiment is one piece and has at least three separate and distinct pouches (1, 3, 5) filled with fluid. Each pouch includes seals (9) to contain the fluid in each pouch and to isolate and prevent fluid communication with the fluid in the other two pouches. Each pouch of the pad is then respectively positioned on the upper surface (8) of the base member (6) under the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16'). In this manner, each of the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16') is thereby supported on its own separate and distinct fluid pouch.
