Benefits of technology

The patent describes a seat cover for traditional stadium seats that can be easily slipped on without buckles or straps. The cover is made of a reusable or washable material, and it attaches to the seat with elastic or a drawstring. The cover remains securely attached to the seat even when the user moves or the seat assembly pivots. The technical effects of this invention are a comfortable and easy-to-use seat cover for stadium seats that is stable and less prone to becoming unattached during normal movements.

Problems solved by technology

Such stadium seats are often comprised of rigid materials, such as plastics, which are uncomfortable, especially for long durations.
Additionally, traditional stadium seats are repeatedly used and seldom cleaned, resulting in dirty seat and / or backrest assemblies.
Moreover, stadium seats may be cold to the touch during cold weather; and hot to the touch during hot weather, especially when exposed to direct sunlight.
Moreover, conventional seat cushions are awkward and cumbersome to carry and do not fit in a bag or purse.
Conventional seat cushions are often attached to the seat with a strap that is difficult to wrap around the seat assembly and / or backrest assembly, thus making securing the conventional seat cushion tedious.

Preparing a Seat Cover

[0121]Cutters will stack layers of the material top of each other and then lay the marker on top of it to cut out the pattern piece(s). They will use a large electric saw-like cutter to cut through the multiple layers of fabric. They use the marker as a guide. Once the pattern pieces are cut in the fabric, they will be bundled for sewing.

[0122]Sewers will set up their machines with thread (of any material) to sew all aspects of the seat cover prior to dye. Sewers will then single needle stitch the four darts at each of the corners of the seat cover. Using a 4 thread overlock machine, sewers will overlock the perimeter edge of the seat cover with a ¼″ seam allowance. The sewers will cut the tape to the seam allowance. The twill tape will be folded in half to find the center to make button holes that are 1″ apart (this will later be used to feed the bungee cording through the edge of the seat cover). They will fold in half the twill tape around the perimeter edge...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 151,976 filed on Feb. 22, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]A stadium seat often includes a folding seat assembly which attaches to a fixed backrest assembly. In some embodiments, the seat assembly is pivotally attached to the fixed backrest assembly. In these embodiments, the seat assembly will pivot from a first, upright position which, depending on the configuration of the stadium seat, may be substantially parallel to the backrest assembly; to a second position substantially perpendicular to the backrest assembly (and substantially parallel to the ground).[0003]Such stadium seats are often comprised of rigid materials, such as plastics, which are uncomfortable, especially for long durations. Additionally, traditional stadium seats are repeatedly used an...
