A suspension fabric seat includes a fabric seat surface formed from a woven fabric material having heating element fibers. The heating element fibers are in electrical communication with a conductor. A carrier is overmolded onto the seat surface. The carrier and the conductor are disposed in a frame and a connector is mounted to the frame in electrical communication with the conductor.

The present invention relates to an automotive trim device and a process for making the same. The automotive trim device comprises a foam body with a cavity, into which a mechanism comprising both functionality-conferring elements and a frame element can be inserted. The foam body is manufactured from liquid foam and uses tooling for the inner core. After the foam body has formed, the tooling is removed and the mechanism can be inserted into the foam body, thereby preventing the mechanism from being exposed to liquid foam. An advantage of the present invention is that the automotive trim device can be used with electrical and/or mechanical devices containing components sensitive to the intrusion and curing of liquid foamable materials. The process may also provide mass and cost savings due to reductions in scrap and material, as compared to other known methods of manufacture.

A foam molding article includes an outer-shell-configuring part, an insert that is at least partially embedded in the outer-shell-configuring part, and a fitting member. The outer-shell-configuring part includes a body side foam member. The body side foam member includes a foam and a missing part where a part of the foam is missing. The missing part is located in an intermediate part of the body side foam member, and the fitting member is mounted in the missing part.

A body-supporting component may have a main body. A 3D lattice structure of the main body may have deflection properties portions of the main body. The main body may be formed by a flexible material according to the 3D lattice structure combined with the deflection properties portions.

A vehicle seat includes a support structure, a seat surface (14) and a molded polymeric frame (18). The frame has an edge region and the seat surface (14) is mounted to the frame (18) and the frame is mounted to the support structure. At least a portion of the edge region is flexible.

A foam part of a motor vehicle seat having seat occupancy detection, wherein the foam part includes a seat surface and an underside opposite to the seat surface, and wherein a number of seat occupancy detection sensors are arranged in the region of the underside and these sensors are fastened via a number of holding profiles on the foam part to detect a weight force acting on the seat surface. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for producing such a foam part and a motor vehicle seat having foam part.

A method of producing a foamed composite molded product includes fixing an exposed part of an insert material on a fixing part provided in a mold, the insert material being inserted in an in-mold foamed molded product made of a thermoplastic resin; introducing a polyurethane liquid into the mold; and producing the foamed composite molded product by foaming the polyurethane liquid in the mold. The foamed composite molded product includes an in-mold foamed molded product unit including the insert material and the in-mold foamed molded product; and a polyurethane foam. At least part of the insert material is exposed to an outside of the in-mold foamed molded product, and the in-mold foamed molded product unit and the polyurethane foam are integrated.

A vehicle seat is provided with a frame, a cushion pad which is disposed on the frame, a trim cover which covers the cushion pad, and a fastener provided to the surface of the cushion pad, which is installed on the frame. The fastener has a frame affixation section which is affixed to the frame, and a cover engagement section with which an end of the trim cover is engaged, and the fastener is joined to the cushion pad.

There is provided a head-rest of a car sheet which is configured to includes: a skin configured to cover a surface of the head-rest; a foamed material filled in the head-rest covered by the skin; and a stay extending to an outside from the skin in which the foamed material is filled, wherein the head-rest has a gate shape by indenting a center portion of a lower surface of the head-rest, and a groove portion is formed at the indented center portion of the gate shape by making end portions of the skin abut against each other, and members which are softer than the skin are seamed to the respective end portions of the skin which abut against each other in the groove portion.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a first part, a second part with a second foam part, and a barrier with a permeable portion and a non-permeable portion. The vehicle seating assembly also includes an air passageway extending through the first part, the second foam part, and the permeable portion of the barrier and an air mover fluidly coupled to the air passageway for moving air through the air passageway.
