View page
US Patent:
7350251, Apr 1, 2008
Filed:
Jul 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/179859
Inventors:
Kevin Gerard Fraser - Belleville IL, US
Winfield Russell Matsler - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
A47C 27/18
US Classification:
5654, 5653, 5657
Abstract:
A cellular cushion includes a base and a plurality of hollow cells. The base includes at least a first layer and a second layer. The hollow cells are coupled to the base and extend outwardly from the base within at least one region. Each of the cells within each region are coupled together in flow communication. Each of the cells includes a hollow body portion and an outer surface. The plurality of cells are spaced across the base such that the cell outer surfaces define a contoured seat configured to cradle a user's buttocks. The cells also include a plurality of first cells and a plurality of second cells. An outer surface of each of the first cells is substantially parallel to the base. An outer surface of each of the second cells is oriented obliquely with respect to the base. At least some of the cells are substantially cylindrical.

US Patent:
7434282, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
May 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/448290
Inventors:
Kevin Gerard Fraser - Belleville IL, US
Winfield Russell Matsler - Belleville IL, US
Assignee:
Star Cushion Products, Inc. - Freeburg IL
International Classification:
A47C 20/02
A47C 27/08
US Classification:
5654, 56553
Abstract:
A cellular cushion includes a base, a plurality of hollow cells, and a sealing layer. The base includes at least a first layer and a second layer. The plurality of hollow cells are coupled to the base and extend outwardly from the base. Moreover, the plurality of cells are coupled together in flow communication. The sealing layer is coupled to at least one of the base first and second layers. At least one of the sealing layer and the base defines a plurality of lock pockets, wherein each of the lock pockets is positioned between adjacent hollow cells for selectively controlling flow communication independently to each of the plurality of hollow cells within the cellular cushion.

Adjustable Seat Cushion

View page
US Patent:
7648198, Jan 19, 2010
Filed:
Jan 26, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/359552
Inventors:
Winfield R. Matsler - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
B62J 1/26
A47C 31/00
US Classification:
297200, 297199, 297DIG 3, 29721911
Abstract:
An adjustable seat cushion for use on a support surface such as the seat of a motorcycle. The seat cushion is cellular and laterally spreadable inwardly or outwardly depending on the space between the ischial tuberosities of a user seated on the cushion for improved comfort. In an embodiment, the cellular cushion cups the buttocks and also tilts the pelvis of a user seated on the cushion forward for enhanced seated stability.

Lighter-Than-Air Aircraft

View page
US Patent:
58102868, Sep 22, 1998
Filed:
Oct 11, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/729185
Inventors:
Winfield R. Matsler - Belleville IL
International Classification:
A64B 100
US Classification:
244 29
Abstract:
A stable and highly maneuverable lighter-than-air aircraft is provided. The aircraft includes a body portion which is supported beneath a balloon portion by a stem or axle. The balloon is fillable with a lighter-than-air gas and is sized to accept sufficient amounts of gas to make the aircraft buoyant. The balloon portion is rotationally fixed to the axle and the axle is rotationally journaled in the body. Thus, the balloon portion can rotate relative to the body portion and the body can selectively be rotated relative to the axle. A motor is housed in the body portion and is operable to propel the aircraft in a desired direction. The aircraft is operated such that the balloon portion rotates above the body portion without rotating the body portion. The rotation of the balloon portion provides stability to the aircraft and the ability for the body portion to rotate about the axle enables the aircraft to be highly maneuverable.

Foam-Air Hybrid Cushion And Method Of Making Same

View page
US Patent:
58453520, Dec 8, 1998
Filed:
Jul 12, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/679267
Inventors:
Winfield R. Matsler - Belleville IL
Kurt Graebe - Belleville IL
Assignee:
Roho, Inc. - Belleville IL
International Classification:
A47C 2710
A47C 702
A47G 900
US Classification:
5654
Abstract:
A composite foam base air cell module cushion having a water resistant skin, a contoured foam base designed to relieve pressure on the trochanters and the ischia and an air cell module having two sets of air cells, each partially filled, positioned inside the foam base in a chamber beneath the rear of the base. The skin is of two layer construction with a two-way stretch outer layer and a water impervious inner layer. The bottom of the base is covered with a water impervious sheet and the edges are secured to the edges of the top skin covering. The air cell is made by placing the preformed top into molds smaller in depth than the air cells to partially collapse the air cells before a base is applied to the top to close the open ends of the air cells and trap air therein.
