US Patent 10384579 Seat gap guarding apparatus

A seat gap guarding apparatus is disclosed. In embodiments, the seat gap guarding apparatus includes a support member configured to be coupled to a repositionable seat and one or more deformable guard members fixed to the support member. The one or more deformable guard members are configured to press against a surface adjacent to the repositionable seat to keep objects and/or debris from falling into the gap between the repositionable seat and the surface adjacent to the repositionable seat. When the repositionable seat is transitioned from a first position to a second position, the support member is configured to maintain the one or more deformable guard members pressed against the surface adjacent to the repositionable seat.
