A bicycle seat , unlike a bicycle saddle , is designed to support the rider s buttocks and back, usually in a semi reclined position. Arthur Garford is credited with inventing the padded bicycle seat in 1892, and they are now usually found on recumbent bicycle s. Bicycle seats come in three main styles mesh, hardshell and combination Seat types Mesh A typical mesh seat consists of a metal frame with mesh stretched over it and secured with adjustable straps, zip ties, string or shock cord. Hardshell Hardshell seats are normally made from of a composite material such as GRP or carbon fibre although metal and wood versions do exist. A hardshell seat is normally covered with some form of padding, this is usually closed or open cell foam although some extreme racing machines do not have any padding on the seat to reduce weight and increase efficiency. Hardshell seats are generally used at more reclined angles than mesh seats. Some riders complain of excessive road noise vibrating through the hardshell seat. Also, the hardshell seat is closed, providing no ventilation, which may cause excessive sweat to build up on the cyclist s back on hot days. Combination A combination seat has a padded hard seat base with a mesh back. See also Saddlebag DEFAULTSORT Bicycle Seat Category Bicycle parts Seat Category Seats Cycling stub ... more details

For the movie The Seat Filler Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date May 2008 A seat filler is a person who fills in an empty seat during an event. There are two types of Seat Fillers 1 a person who subscribes to a seat filling theatre club. Members of these clubs help fill in unsold seats for theatre, music, film, sporting events, dance performances and other live events. The producers of the event give complimentary tickets to the seat filling organization, who pass them on to their members. The producers get a fuller audience and therefore a better experience for the paying patrons and talent , while the seat filler is able to see an event for a small service charge. Within the industry, this is also referred to as papering the house . 2 a person who takes up spare seats when the person allocated the seat is elsewhere. An example of this is the Academy Awards in which many of the audience are either gaining awards, once they win the award the recipient needs to wait for an appropriate time to return to their seat, or because the member of the audience is involved in producing the show. Seat fillers are primarily employed so that when TV cameras show audience shots there are no empty seats. In popular culture In the Two and a Half Men episode My Doctor Has a Cow Puppet , Charlie tries to set up Alan with one of his friends who works as a seat filler at award ceremonies. In the Seinfeld episode The Summer of George , Cosmo Kramer Kramer works as a seat filler at the Tony Awards .

A power seat in an automobile is a front car seatseat which can be adjusted by using a switch or joystick and a set of small electric motor s. Most cars with this feature have controls for the driver s seat only, though almost all luxury cars also have power controls for the front passenger seat. In addition to fore and aft adjustments, power seats can be raised or lowered and tilted to suit the comfort of the driver and or passenger. Many power seats allow occupants to adjust the seat lumbar or seatback recline, all at the push of a button or flick of a switch. Some cars also have memory adjustment s, which can recall usually two different adjustments of the seat by pressing a button, along with settings and adjustment for such conveniences as rearview mirror s and the car s stereo system . Cars which do not have this feature have a lever or bar to provide fore and aft adjustment s. Power seats began appearing in automobiles in the late 1940s. Most early seats were fore aft only, which saved little work. A six way power seat appeared in the late 1950s. Most power seats in newer cars are either six or eight way.

for the song by Erykah Badu Window Seat song A window seat is a miniature couch sofa without a back, intended to fill the recess of a window. In the latter part of the 18th century, when tall narrow sash windows were almost universal, the window seat was in high favor, and was no doubt in keeping with the formalism of Georgian era Georgian interiors. It differed much in decorative detail, but little in form. It stood as high from the floor as a chair the two ends were identical, with a roll over curve, more or less pronounced. The seats and ends were usually upholstered in rich fabrics which in many cases have remained intact. The legs followed the fashion in chairs and were square and tapered, or, somewhat later, round and reeded. Hepplewhite and the brothers Adam designed many graceful window seats, but they were produced by all the cabinet makers of the period. A window seat may also be built into the recess containing a window. ref citation chapter Window seats title Small strawbale natural homes, projects & design page 75 isbn 9781586855154 year 2005 ref In vehicles, where seats are arranged in rows, a window seat is a seat nearest the window. Seats further from the window may be middle seat s or aisle seat s. References reflist 1911 gl parladoiro Category Furniture gl Parladoiro ... more details
