POSTURAL AWARENESS APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A postural awareness apparatus comprisinga) a pad,b) a signal producing system, andc) an activator that activates said signal producing system when a compressive force applied to said apparatus exceeds a predetermined compressive force, the activator comprising(i) a switch having an upper portion,(ii) a compressible element having defined therein an opening, said compressible element at least partially surrounding said upper portion of said switch, and(iii) a cap adapted to secure said compressible element in a position at least partially surrounding said upper portion of said switch.

Abstract
A postural awareness apparatus includes a pad, a signal producing system, and an activator that activates the signal producing system when a compressive force applied to the apparatus exceed a predetermined compressive force. The activator includes a switch having an upper portion, a compressible element having defined therein an opening, the compressible element at least partially surrounding the upper portion of the switch, and a cap adapted to secure the compressible element in a position at least partially surrounding the upper portion of the switch.
