The back body support 1000 that is provided with the include related assemblies, such as a primary elongated cushion member 100, a secondary elongated cushion member 200, a headrest extension member 300, a flexible seating support member 400, a tail bone and buttocks support member 500, a rigid seat member 600, and a posture correction member 700 will now be described in conjunction with FIGS. 1A to 6B. In particular, FIGS. 1A and 1B, respectively, illustrate a perspective view and a top view of a primary elongated cushion member of a back body support; FIG. 2A illustrates a perspective view of a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member of a back body support; FIG. 2A illustrates a perspective view of a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member of a back body support; FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of a flexible seating support member, a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member of a back body support; FIGS. 4A and 4B, respectively, illustrate an assembled view and an exploded view of a rigid seat member, a flexible seating support member, a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member of a back body support; FIG. 5 illustrate a perspective view of a back body support having a headrest extension member coupled to a secondary elongated cushion member, and a tail bone and buttocks support member coupled at an angular orientation of a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member, along with a rigid seat member, a flexible seating support member; FIG. 6A illustrate a perspective view of a posture correction member to be coupled with a back body support having a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member; and FIG. 6B illustrate a perspective view of a posture correction member coupled with a back body support having a primary elongated cushion member and a secondary elongated cushion member, in accordance with various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.


Referring now to FIGS. 1A and 1B, in one main aspect of the present disclosure, the back body support 1000 includes a primary elongated cushion member 100 extending along a horizontal plane (H). The primary elongated cushion member 100 may be adapted to be used by the user along a pelvis region of the body while the user is sitting or walking. When the user is walking, the primary elongated cushion member 100 may include strap to secure the primary elongated cushion member 100 along the pelvis region of the user.


The primary elongated cushion member 100 may include an outer layer 110, an inner layer 120 and a liner layer 130.


The outer layer 110 is adapted to support the pelvis and side hip regions of the user. The outer layer 100 includes a pelvis cushion support member 112 and a pair of elongated hip support members 114. The pelvis cushion support member 112 is adapted to support the pelvis region of the user. The pelvis cushion support member 112 includes a first flexible material 116. Further, the pair of elongated hip support members 114 is adapted to support the side hip regions of the user. Each elongated hip support member 114a, 114b of the pair of elongated hip support members 114 are coupled side by side to the pelvis cushion support member 112. Each of the elongated hip support member 114a, 114b of the pair of elongated hip support members 114 includes a second flexible material 118. The second flexible material 118 of the pair of elongated hip support members 114 is relatively softer than that of the first flexible material 116 of the pelvis cushion support member 112. Further, the pair of elongated hip support members 114 is aligned along the pelvis cushion support member 112 at a height (H1) greater than a height (H2) of the pelvis cushion support member 112 from the horizontal plane (H). Such lower height (H2) of the pelvis cushion support member 112 from the horizontal ground (H) may enable proper positioning of the primary elongated cushion member 100 on seats while the pair of elongated hip support members 114 remain in raised position to properly support the hip portion of the user.

Further, as seen in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the inner layer 120 is coupled below the outer layer 110 and extending across the pelvis cushion support member 112 and at least partially across the pair of elongated hip support members 114. The inner layer 120 may include one or more blocks 122 spaced from each other to support the pelvis cushion support member 112 and the at least partially across the pair of elongated hip support members 114. One or more blocks 122 are of a third flexible material 124 having hardness greater than that of the first and second flexible materials 116, 118 of the pelvis cushion support member 112 and the pair of elongated hip support members 114.


In one example, the first flexible material 116 may be of soft memory foam including silicone gel, or any other soft foam. The second flexible material 118 may also be of memory foam including silicone gel, or any other foam memory, relatively harder than that of the soft memory foam including silicone gel, or any other soft foam of the first flexible material 116. Further, the third flexible material 124 may be of a rigid or semi-rigid foam, spaced out for a belt-like fit along the inner layer 120.


Furthermore, the liner layer 130 is coupled to a back side of the inner layer 120, opposite from the side of the inner layer that is having the outer layer 110, to support the inner layer 120 and the outer layer 110 thereon. The liner layer 130 may be of a fabric material, which is flexible that may enable folding of the primary elongated cushion member 100.
