POSTURE SUPPORT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092240 titled 'POSTURE SUPPORT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a seating innovation with adjustable support members for increased flexibility in positioning and angle adjustments.
- The innovation includes at least one fixing plate on the seat back and at least one support member on the fixing plate, allowing for arbitrary positioning and angle adjustments on the front surface of the fixing plate.
- The support member can be adjusted not only vertically and horizontally with respect to the seat back but also in terms of angle, providing increased freedom in positioning and angle adjustments compared to existing solutions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various seating systems, such as office chairs, car seats, and stadium seating, to provide customizable support to users.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of limited adjustability in traditional seating systems, offering users the ability to fine-tune the position and angle of support members for improved comfort.
Benefits

Unanswered Questions
How does this innovation impact the overall design of seating systems?
This innovation could potentially lead to more ergonomic and user-friendly seating designs, but the specific design implications are not detailed in the abstract.
What materials are used in the construction of the adjustable support members?
The abstract does not mention the materials used in the construction of the support members, which could impact the durability and functionality of the innovation.
Original Abstract Submitted
it has at least one fixing plate arranged on the seat back and at least one support member arranged on the fixing plate, and the support member can be arranged at an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary position on the front surface of the fixing plate. therefore, the position of the support member can be adjusted not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction with respect to the seat back, but also in the angle. therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the position and the angle of the support member as compared with the related art.
