ABSTRACT:
A combination seat cushion and life vest particularly adapted for use as an aircraft chair includes a generally rectangular buoyant main rear panel and a buoyant segmented front panel hingedly joined to the rear panel in substantially covering relationship thereto so as to form, in a closed position thereof, a generally rectangular cushion of generally uniform thickness and, in an open position thereof, an openable and wearable life vest sized and dimensioned to cover the rear side and front side of a user from the shoulder to approximately the waist. The segmented front panel includes a neck cutout slit centrally disposed along and adjacent to its top edge forming a neck flap hingedly joined along a hinge line to the top edge of the rear panel, and a bifurcating vertical slit extending between the bottom edge thereof and terminating at the neck cutout slit so as to divide the segmented front panel into an openable front left flap and an openable front right flap, each flap being hingedly joined along a hinge line to the rear panel and being releasably securable to one another. The front left and right flaps each include an arm cutout slit disposed along the corresponding side lateral edge thereof forming an arm cutout flap hingedly joined to the corresponding side lateral edge of the main panel.
