Abstract
Abstract A resilient seat cushion having a top surface and one or more side surfaces which tend to deform when the seat cushion is subjected to compressive force, comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover which adheres to the body. The side surface or surfaces are provided with one or more indentations which are permanently formed in the cover and the body and are disposed transversely to the direction of the compressive force and prevent permanent deformation, wrinkling or creasing of the side surface.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A seat cushion comprising: a resilient compressible body having at least two transverse surfaces, and a flexible cover for said body, said cover adhering to said body at a portion of one of said transverse surfaces thereof which tends to deform when subjected to a compressive force applied to the other of said transverse surfaces, said cover and said body being provided at said portion with at least one permanently formed indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A seat cushion comprising: a resilient compressible body having at least two transverse surfaces, and a flexible cover for said body, said cover adhering to said body at a portion of one of said transverse surfaces thereof which tends to deform when subjected to a compressive force applied to the other of said transverse surfaces, said cover and said body being provided at said portion with at least one permanently formed indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A seat cushion according to claim 1 wherein said indentation is disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A seat cushion according to claim 2 including a plurality of spaced apart indentations at said portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A seat cushion according to claim 2 including a plurality of said portions with at least one indentation in each of several of said portions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
A multi-sided seat cushion having at least one side which tends to deform when under compressive force and comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover adhering to said body at least at said one side, said one side being provided with at least one permanently formed indentation disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force for preventing permanent deformation of said one side of said seat cushion, said indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
84 words
A multi-sided seat cushion having at least one side which tends to deform when under compressive force and comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover adhering to said body at least at said one side, said one side being provided with at least one permanently formed indentation disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force for preventing permanent deformation of said one side of said seat cushion, said indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words

A seat cushion according to claim 5 including a plurality of said indentations in said one side.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A seat cushion according to claim 7 wherein said seat cushion has a plurality of sides which tend to deform and including at least one of said indentations in at least two of said sides.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
A seat cushion according to claim 8 wherein said two sides are spaced apart opposite sides of said seat cushion.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
104 words
A seat comprising a seat support, a seat cushion for mounting on said seat support, said seat cushion having at least one side which tends to deform when under compressive force, said seat cushion comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover adhering to said body at least on said one side of said seat cushion, said one side being provided with at least one permanently formed indentation disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force for preventing permanent deformation of said one side of said seat cushion, said indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
104 words
A seat comprising a seat support, a seat cushion for mounting on said seat support, said seat cushion having at least one side which tends to deform when under compressive force, said seat cushion comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover adhering to said body at least on said one side of said seat cushion, said one side being provided with at least one permanently formed indentation disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force for preventing permanent deformation of said one side of said seat cushion, said indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
32 words
A seat according to claim 10 wherein said seat support is a bucket-type seat support and wherein said one side of said seat cushion is the front side of said seat cushion.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
36 words
A seat according to claim 11 wherein said bucket-type seat support has sloping surfaces for engaging said seat cushion and wherein said seat cushion has sloping surfaces for engagement with said sloping surfaces of said support.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
130 words
A seat comprising a bucket-type seat support having sloping seat cushion supporting surfaces at its sides and rear, a seat cushion for mounting on said seat support, said seat cushion having a front side which tends to deform when under compressive force, and additional sloping sides for engagement with said sloping supporting surfaces of said seat support, said seat cushion comprising a resilient compressible body and a flexible cover adhering to said body at least on said front side of said seat cushion, said front side being provided with at least one permanently formed indentation disposed transversely to the direction of said compressive force for preventing permanent deformation of said front side of said seat cushion, said indentation having normally spaced-apart sides which move toward each other under compressive force.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
