Suzanne Vanderbilt's Inflatable Back Support |
|||
According to Consumer Bulletin, October 1962, p.3:
Vanderbilt developed her inflatable back support in response to work showing that automobile seats were uncomfortable and caused back pain. Below you can see some of the work she put into the design with two patent drawings (top left and bottom) and an original drawing for the inflatable back support. Vanderbilt talks about this back support in her oral history. |
