Abstract:
A dynamic support apparatus. The dynamic support apparatus includes a cushion, at least one actuator wherein the at least one actuator defines an interior volume and wherein the interior volume may be configured to be at least partially filled with a fluid, and a support disposed in the interior volume wherein the support configured to support an occupant when the interior volume is not filled with the fluid such that the support is sufficient to support the occupant.

Claim (Index 15):
A dynamic support apparatus comprising:\n a cushion; at least one actuator wherein the at least one actuator defines an interior volume and wherein the interior volume configured to be at least partially filled with a fluid and the at least one actuator attached to an actuator fluid conduit in communication with the interior volume; a fluid pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet; a rotary valve comprising:\n a stationary portion including a pump inlet port, a pump outlet port, an atmosphere port, and an actuator port; \n a rotor having a planar body with transversely disposed flow paths recessed into each of q first face and a second face of the rotor, wherein the second face is opposingly situated with respect to the first face, the rotor captured between a first part of the stationary portion and a second part of the stationary portion, the rotor having at least one recessed portion which does not contact the stationary portion, wherein the first face of the rotor includes a plurality of fluid pathways and the second face of the rotor includes a single fluid pathway; and \n a motor arranged to impart rotary motion to the rotor to rotate the rotor to at least\n a first position in which the pump inlet port is in fluid communication with the atmosphere port through the valve and the pump outlet port is in fluid communication with the actuator port through the valve, \n a second position in which the pump inlet port is in communication with the actuator port via the valve and the pump outlet port is in communication with the atmosphere port via the valve, and \n a third position in which the actuator port is in communication with the atmosphere port via the valve.
