Abstract
Abstract An elongate longitudinally aligned cushion member mounted about a selective frame portion of an associated lawn chair to effect desired cushioning relative to the lawn chair structure. The organization is defined by a tubular member, including a coaxially aligned board directed therethrough. A modification of the invention includes an elongate member defined by a serpentine exterior configuration defining parallel ribs, with the member including a pneumatic chamber therewithin and further including an overlying fluid chamber and an underlying chamber formed of a resilient pad-like member.
