Abstract
Abstract A resilient accessory adapted for a number of different uses including a resilient cap for the top of an armrest of an airplane passenger seat. The accessory includes a hollow, resilient, first member having an outer wall and a pair of sides integral with the outer wall, and a second rigid, plate-like member secured to the first member in closing relationship to an open extremity of the first member opposite to the outer wall thereof. The first and second members are interconnected by posts integral with the first member and extending through holes in the second members, the outer ends of the posts having heads which retain the second member on the first member. A number of stops adjacent to the posts are integral with the first member and engage the inner surface of the second member, whereby the heads and the stops hold the second member in a fixed position relative to the first member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A resilient support comprising: a first member of resilient material, said first member having a wall and a pair of spaced sides integral with the wall, the outer margins of the sides defining an opening in the first member opposite to the wall, there being a number of spaced stops on the first member and extending toward the opening; a second, generally rigid member between the sides of the first member; and post means carried by the first member and extending through the second member for interconnecting the members, the outer edge margins of the stops being in sufficiently close proximity to the inner surface of the second member to engage the inner surface of the second member in load bearing relationship with respect thereto when a force is exerted on the first member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A resilient support comprising: a first member of resilient material, said first member having a wall and a pair of spaced sides integral with the wall, the outer margins of the sides defining an opening in the first member opposite to the wall, there being a number of spaced stops on the first member and extending toward the opening; a second, generally rigid member between the sides of the first member; and post means carried by the first member and extending through the second member for interconnecting the members, the outer edge margins of the stops being in sufficiently close proximity to the inner surface of the second member to engage the inner surface of the second member in load bearing relationship with respect thereto when a force is exerted on the first member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein said mounting means includes a number of posts integral with the first member, the second member having a number of holes for receiving respective posts, the outer ends of the posts having respective heads with transverse dimensions larger than the holes through the second member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A support as set forth in claim 2, wherein certain of the posts are integral with respective stops and extend outwardly therefrom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the stops define partitions integral with the inner surfaces of the wall and spanning the distance between the sides of the first member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the stops are integral with the inner surfaces of the sides of the first member and project into the first member and terminate in spaced relationship to each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the outer surface of the first member is substantially convex.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the stops define flat partitions, the inner surface of the second member being substantially flat and generally perpendicular to the planes of the partitions.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
41 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein included a second set of stops integral with the first member and extending toward said second member, the outer edge margins of the second set of stops being spaced from the opening.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, where in the first member is formed of polyurethane and the second member is formed of aluminum.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
A support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the second member has an outer, generally flat surface substantially in the plane of the opening.
