It comprises (1) a bottom contoured to conform to the shape of the buttocks of the occupant or (2) supports for two or more different areas of the occupant"s body or (3) any support surface disclosed as a buttocks support in combination with a means, such as a table, desk or an additional buttocks support, which limits the use of such surface to the disclosed use. As used in this class, the term "seat" is distinguished from the term "bottom" in that the bottom is the buttock supporting portion of a seat.
