Patent ID: 7753442

Claim:
A spherically guided safety seating system comprising: a. a base featuring: i a vehicle attachment interface having a generally horizontal lower portion to engage a seat portion of a seat of a passenger vehicle and a generally vertical portion to engage a seat back of the seat of the passenger vehicle, the vehicle attachment interface adapted to provide a snug area of contact between the vehicle attachment interface and the seat of the passenger vehicle and removably fix the spherically guided safety seating system on the seat of the passenger vehicle; and ii an external spherical guiding member having a first surface defining a portion of a sphere, wherein the external spherical guiding member is sized to fit within the passenger vehicle on the seat of the passenger vehicle, the first surface defining a geometric center point; b. a spherically guided unit featuring: i an internal spherical guiding member having a second surface defining a portion of a sphere, wherein the second surface mates with the first surface such that the spherically guided unit is freely rotatable in any direction about a spherical path, the spherical path defined by the geometric center point of the first surface; and ii a head whip lash minimizing seating including a head positioning region and a torso positioning region that are: 1. in radially close proximity to said internal spherical guiding member; and 2. substantially below said geometric center point while at rest.
