FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a seat cushion.
The present invention is designed using engineering involving back and forth circulation and transfer of fluid or gas within a fluid or gas containing bag. Body weight of a person applied on different portions of fluid or gas containing chamber rises or lowers the seat cushion which supports the hip and coccyx such that the correct sitting posture is formed and lower back muscles are exercised.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The conventional seat cushions are configured into sheets of different shapes having different seat heights filled with sponge, foam, synthetic fiber, or other solid materials. When different weights are applied on the seat cushion, it will be leveled equally across the sheet.
In the seat cushion according to the present invention, when body weight is transferred back and forth, the amount of fluid or gas contained therein which defines thickness of the seat cushion will be transferred back and forth which results in a continuous movement of muscles connected to the hip, coccyx and lower intervertebral discs for highest benefit of the user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Seat cushion according to the present invention is configured as a big fluid or gas containing bag containing fluid or gas. When weight of the hip or thighs is transferred back and forth in different directions, the fluid or gas contained in the seat cushion will in turn be transferred back and forth in the bag containing fluid or gas in order to enable free movements of muscles of coccyx and intervertebral discs and to support all hip movements so that the hip can be moved naturally which results in a continuous and smooth movement of the back and a reduced pressure on the intervertebral discs which reduces fatigue.
The main objective is to provide a cushion for supporting the curvatures of muscles of hip and coccyx using air or fluid system based on fluid or gas transfer which can be laid on a chair or a seat for convenient use on an office chair, a couch, an airplane seat, or on the floor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The seat cushion according to the present invention is characterized in that:
In FIG. 1, the seat cushion has a circular shape with a diameter of 315 millimeters, a fluid or gas containing bag (1) having a circular shape with a diameter of 300 millimeters being disposed inside having a small oval with a width of 86 millimeters and a length of 106 millimeters on its center for compartmentalizing the fluid or gas containing bag for supporting hip and thigh from the fluid or gas containing bag (1). Fluid or gas is filled in the fluid or gas containing bag (1) to a level of 5-40 millimeters, the fluid or gas containing bag (1) is sewn to a fabric sheet (2) for firmly fixing the fluid or gas containing bag (1) in a cover fabric (4), the edges of the fabric sheet (2) is sewn to the peripheral edges of the cover fabric (4) with a space of 14 centimeters, the cover fabric (4) is then flipped such that the fluid or gas containing bag (1) is disposed inside the cover fabric (4), sponge pad (3) is inserted between the fluid or gas containing bag (1) and the cover fabric (4) for additional softness on the contact surface in use, a product label (5) is sewn thereto, and the gap on the lower edge of the fabric of the product is closed.
FIG. 2 shows attachment of the seat cushion to a cushion of a chair wherein the product label (5) is positioned at the back toward the backrest of the chair.
In FIG. 3, when the seat cushion is in suitable position and a user sits such that buttocks was laid on the seat cushion wherein the right buttock presses the right side of the seat cushion (6) and the left buttock presses the left side of the seat cushion (7), if more weight is applied from the right buttock, the fluid or gas in the right portion will be transferred to the left portion such that the height of the right side of the seat cushion (6) is lowered and the height of the left side of the seat cushion (7) is increased, if more weight is applied on the left side, the fluid or gas in the left portion will be transferred to the right portion such that the height of the left side of the seat cushion (7) is lowered and the height of the right side of the seat cushion (6) is increased, if more weight is applied from the rear of the buttocks, the fluid or gas in the rear portion will be transferred to the front portion such that the height of the rear side of the seat cushion (8) is lowered and the height of the front side of the seat cushion (9) is increased, and if more weight is applied from the front of the buttock, the fluid or gas in the front portion will be transferred to the rear portion such that the height of the front side of the seat cushion (9) is lowered and the height of the rear side of the seat cushion (8) is increased. The transfer of fluid or gas from the left portion to the right portion, from the right portion to the left portion, from the front portion to the rear portion, and from the rear portion to the front portion result in movements of the muscles of hip, coccyx, and lower intervertebral discs in the direction of the fluid or gas contained in the seat cushion which exercise the muscles of hip, coccyx, and lower intervertebral discs in order to reduce fatigue.
