Abstract

A seat cushion structure is formed by combining upper and lower substrates made of a soft elastic material. Recessed spaces are formed on the upper and lower substrates respectively. Protrusions are formed in the recessed spaces. A flow passage is formed between every two protrusions. An inwardly concave air chamber is evacuated from each protrusion within a contact range of supporting a sitter'"'"'s buttock. A shallow cut groove is formed on a side of the inwardly concave air chamber. A concave arc form corresponding to the shape of the buttock is disposed on an external surface of the upper substrate in contact with the buttock, such that when the upper and lower substrates are combined integrally, the protrusion of the upper substrate is disposed precisely above an upper periphery of the inwardly concave air chamber of the protrusion of the lower substrate.

Claims

1. A seat cushion structure, comprising:

upper and lower substrates made of a soft elastic material and combined with one another;

two recessed spaces each formed on an attached surface of each of the upper and lower substrates;

a plurality of protrusions disposed in the recessed space of each of the upper and lower substrates;

a plurality of flow passages each interconnected between every two protrusions;

a plurality of inwardly concave air chambers each formed in the protrusion of the lower substrate;

a plurality of shallow cut grooves each disposed on a side of the inwardly concave air chamber;

a plurality of ventilation holes each formed on an external surface of the upper substrate to communicate with the flow passage; and

a two concave members disposed on the external surface of the upper substrate,

wherein each of the protrusions under the concave members of the upper substrate is disposed on the inwardly concave air chamber of the protrusion of the lower substrate.
