Abstract

A cushion for support ribs of tubular furniture comprising a flexible cushioning construction formed in an elongated shape and with a continuous saw tooth seat on one side running from end to end lengthwise and extending inwardly towards a central cavity that similarly extends lengthwise from end to end. The central cavity is of a suitable diameter to envelope and snugly engage the support ribs, with the overall dimensions of the cushion being compatible with installation on support ribs of tubular furniture insofar as clearance between said ribbing and adjacent webbing, and as to overall length. The outer configuration of the cushion may be provided with a cosmetic appearance of an animal such as an alligator or other whimsical likeness.
