Abstract

Abstract A reversible cover for a baby seat with a three-dimensional seat support, comprising a core of foamed urethane with a smooth side and a side with hills and valleys and a cover around the core. The cover is made of air breathing seersucker on the smooth side of the core and is made of soft, insulating pile on the hill-and-valley side. The cover closely conforms to the seat support and can be reversed with the pile side being used during the winter and the seersucker side during the summer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 224 words
A pad for a seat comprising: a core of a foamed material of generally planar shape when undeformed with a first side thereof being relatively smooth and a second side thereof being substantially covered with projecting portions and depressed portions relative to said projecting portions; and a cover for covering said core, said cover including a first cover part of a first material disposed on said first side of said core and a second cover part of a second material disposed on said second side of said core to define cavities between said second cover part and said depressed portions, said first cover part being connected to said second cover part, said second material being softer and more resistant to passage of air than said first material, wherein said second side covered by said second cover part is adapted for greater deformation when in contact with a user than said first side covered by said first cover part, and said first side covered by said first cover part is adapted for greater air passage when in contact with the user than said second side covered by said second cover part, and wherein said core and cover are adaptable to conform to a form of said seat with either said first material or said second material facing outward from said seat for contacting the user.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 224 words
A pad for a seat comprising: a core of a foamed material of generally planar shape when undeformed with a first side thereof being relatively smooth and a second side thereof being substantially covered with projecting portions and depressed portions relative to said projecting portions; and a cover for covering said core, said cover including a first cover part of a first material disposed on said first side of said core and a second cover part of a second material disposed on said second side of said core to define cavities between said second cover part and said depressed portions, said first cover part being connected to said second cover part, said second material being softer and more resistant to passage of air than said first material, wherein said second side covered by said second cover part is adapted for greater deformation when in contact with a user than said first side covered by said first cover part, and said first side covered by said first cover part is adapted for greater air passage when in contact with the user than said second side covered by said second cover part, and wherein said core and cover are adaptable to conform to a form of said seat with either said first material or said second material facing outward from said seat for contacting the user.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A pad as recited in claim 1, wherein said seat has a three-dimensional form.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
A pad as recited in claim 1, wherein said seat has a changeable three-dimensional form and wherein said core and cover are adaptable to conform to said changeable three-dimensional form.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 26 words
A pad is recited in claim 3, wherein said cover further comprises sleeve parts not overlying said core and capable of surrounding projections of said seat.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
A pad as recited in claim 1, wherein said second material comprises a pile material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
A pad as recited in claim 5, wherein said first material comprises a woven cloth of continuous yarn.

A pad as recited in claim 6, wherein said first material comprises cotton and polyester and wherein said second material substantially consists of cotton.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 13 words
A pad as recited in claim 8, wherein said foamed material comprises urethane.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 232 words
A baby carriage, comprising: a collapsible support frame including wheels; a seat support for supporting an infant, connected to said collapsible support frame and having a varying three-dimensional form as said support collapses; and a reversible cover for said seat support comprising a foamed core having a smooth first side and an undulatory second side having projecting portions and depressed portions relative to said projecting portions, a first cover part of a first material for covering at least a portion of said first side of said core and a second cover part connected to said first cover part for covering at least a portion of said second side of said core and defining cavities between said second cover part and said depressed portions, said second material being softer and less permeable to air flow than said first material, said reversible cover being conformable to said varying three-dimensional form with either said first cover part or said second cover part facing away from said seat support for contacting the infant, wherein said second side covered by said second cover part is adapted for greater deformation when in contact with a user than said first side covered by said first cover part, and said first side covered by said first cover part is adapted for greater air passage when in contact with the user than said second side covered by said second cover part.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 232 words
A baby carriage, comprising: a collapsible support frame including wheels; a seat support for supporting an infant, connected to said collapsible support frame and having a varying three-dimensional form as said support collapses; and a reversible cover for said seat support comprising a foamed core having a smooth first side and an undulatory second side having projecting portions and depressed portions relative to said projecting portions, a first cover part of a first material for covering at least a portion of said first side of said core and a second cover part connected to said first cover part for covering at least a portion of said second side of said core and defining cavities between said second cover part and said depressed portions, said second material being softer and less permeable to air flow than said first material, said reversible cover being conformable to said varying three-dimensional form with either said first cover part or said second cover part facing away from said seat support for contacting the infant, wherein said second side covered by said second cover part is adapted for greater deformation when in contact with a user than said first side covered by said first cover part, and said first side covered by said first cover part is adapted for greater air passage when in contact with the user than said second side covered by said second cover part.
