Abstract
Abstract An emergency conveyance seat comprises a base and a back extending upwardly from the base. The back has a pair of elongated side pads, each of which has an upper end and a lower end. The back further has a head pad located adjacent the upper ends of the side pads. The side pads define a vertically elongated cavity in the back and an enclosure is connected to the side pads for enclosing the rear of the cavity. The cavity is adapted to receive a removable cylinder of a self-contained breathing apparatus. Each of the side pads is formed with a recessed area between the upper and lower ends and is adapted to receive a portion of the cylinder. A pair of removable side cushions is provided, each of the side pads being adapted to be disposed in one of the recessed areas when the cylinder is removed from the cavity.
