Cushion Systems Overview
• a foam filled chamber with a push-button
valve allows air to escape or enter when
opened.
• when closed, the chamber is sealed and no
air may enter or escape.
• to adjust the contour, the seat occupant
leans on the cushion and opens the valve
causing the cushion to deform and fill all
the hollow spots of the occupants back and
relieve pressures on the bony protrusion of
the back i.e. the spine.
• To re-inflate the cushion, the occupant
merely leans forward, thereby removing
Design Advantages
pressue from the cushion, and simultaneously opens the valve.
• Almost any design can be achieved using
our construction method.
• The valve can mate with the Semco Aerospace cable controls which can be routed
to the armrest.
• Little to no weight or cost penalty over conventional fabricated seat foam.
• The finished device weighs nearly the same
as the foam it replaces, either in the seat
back or seat bottom.

Pneumatics Systems Overview
• A system comprised of a pressure source
(pump) and one or more bladders
• Bladder - A sealed chamber or chambers
configured in such a way to inflate to a
desired shape when air pressure is introduced.
• Pump - Electric powered compressor utilized either a piston or diaphragm method of
providing air pressure.
• Control - A switch capable of selecting an
air circuit connected to a bladder. If an electric pump is utilized in the system the switch
is also capable of closing electrical contact
to energize the pump motor. When released, the switch rocker centers and simultaneously breaks electrical contact with the
pump and seals the circuit thereby keeping
the bladder at the selected pressure level.
Design Advantages
• Significant weight savings compared to mechanical systems, manual or powered.
• Bladder shapes can be varied to achive
support and or relief of pressure in critical
areas.
• Low power requirements.
• With the use of Semco Aerospace’ “Air
Wave” air sequencer, multiple bladders can
provide continuous changing of pressures
under the seat occupant greatly enhancing
comfort.
• Great versatility is possible through multiple
bladders and switches.

will connenct the pressure source to
the bladder.
• Actuating the switch in the other direction will close the path to the pressure source and open the bladder to
atmosphere resulting in a deflated
bladder
SC-925-100-00
• Opens a pneumatic path from a compressor to a recieving chamber such
as any of Semco Aerospace’s bladders.
• Also incorporates a single pole single
throw electric power to the compressor thereby simultaneously energizing
the compressor as the path is opened
to the bladder.
• Removing pressure from the rocker
will allow the rocker to return to the
neutral position closing the path from
the compressor to the bladder and
simultaneously stopping electrical
power to the compressor.
• Actuating the rocker in the other direction opens a path from the bladder
to atmosphere thereby deflating the
bladder.
