Reclinable chair with self-inflating devices

摘要

A chair or seat comprising seat back (11) and seat bottom (10) is provided with one or more self inflatable devices (12) inserted therein. Each inflatable device comprises a flexible, open celled foam filled bladder connected to a control valve (13), and optionally, a bleed valve (27). Control and bleed valves can either be incorporated into the seat back or seat bottom or they can be provided in a remote panel (30) for operating the degree of inflation of the self inflatable devices. The control valves and bleed valves may be manually valves, or they may be electric valves incorporating solenoids. Electric valves can be used in combination with vehicle's electrical and central locking systems to provide for the automatic reinflation and preservation of personal settings.
