Backrest Design Refinements

11/15/2014

After building a model of the initial backrest design into SolidWorks, we realized that the backrest frame needed some modifications in order to provide reasonable support without putting undue stress onto the frame.

We added an additional support bar, and now the backrest provides twice the amount of back-support as the first design. Next steps are to put together specs and assembly instructions for manufacturing and start talking to our factory about prototyping!

Here are some computer renderings of the backrest cushion, using the same waterproof vinyl as our bike seat cushions. We're considering adding a Companion Bike Seat logo to the backrest mounting plate on the back, but need to talk to our factory first to see what is possible.

We should have more updates within the next couple of weeks once we've started the conversation with our factory and have their initial feedback!
