Improvements in Pads for Boat and other similar seats.
I, DAVID CHAMPION, Engineer, of Church House, Shepperton-on-Thames, in
the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-—
This invention for improvements in pads for boat and other similar seats has
for its object to provide a pad that shall be readily applied to the seat and shall
not be liable to move when in use, and consists in sewing or otherwise securing
metal or rigid projections to the underside of the pad and in making corresponding
recesses in the seat. Preferably a flat bar folded and bent in the middle to form a
flat plate with a central projection is secured on each side of the pad.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings;
Fig. 1 is a plan of the underside of a pad or cushion constructed according to
this invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the pad and seat showing an elevation of
the metal attachment on a larger scale.
Fig. 3 is an inverted plan of the metal attachment, and
Fig. 4 is a plan of the seat.
On the underside of the pad or cushion a are fixed two or more metal bars 6
bent at or near their centres to form projections c and provided with holes d by
means of which they are sewn or otherwise attached to the cushion a.
When the cushion or pad is placed on the seat e of a boat or the like the
projections on the pad take into recesses provided in the seat, and prevent any
movement or sliding of the pad or cushion from the seat.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A pad or cushion for boat and similar seats provided with a rigid projection
projecting from its underside for the purpose set forth.
2. A seat for a boat or the like consisting of a rigid seat provided with holes or
recesses, and a pad provided on its underside with rigid projections adapted to
engage in the holes or recesses in the seat.
3. The improvements in pads for boat and other similar seats substantially as
