Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an assembly and method for easily attaching and removing seat cushions on chairs, particularly those used on Chiavari style chairs with upright leg and seat back members. The assembly includes a seat cushion with a strap assembly attached to it, which is secured to the cushion with a first fastener. The strap is then looped around the chair's seat back or leg member with a second fastener, which is removably secured to the first fastener, to keep the cushion in place on the chair. This invention allows for quick and easy attachment and removal of seat cushions on chairs.

Problems solved by technology

As such, chairs requiring installation of the attachable seat cushions may often times be rented in amounts exceeding hundreds of chairs per event, which can result in a time consuming and tedious process when attaching the seat cushions to the chairs.
