VEHICLE SEAT
A vehicle seat according to the present invention includes: a seat back frame constituting a framework of a seat back; a blower disposed in the seat back; a bracket to which the blower is fixed; and a cover member provided on the rear side of the seat back frame. Herein, the bracket is fixed to the cover member with the seat back frame being held between the bracket and the cover member.
Seat
A car seat includes an air outlet located in a seat upper portion (a portion provided above a seat cushion and including a seat back and a headrest) to let out air therethrough; an air inlet located in the seat upper portion to draw in air therethrough; at least one fan configured to produce a current of air flowing from the air outlet toward the air inlet at a front side of the seat upper portion; and a scenting device configured to scent air to be forced out through the air outlet. The air outlet and the air inlet are located in such positions that at least part of the headrest is positioned between the air outlet and the air inlet in a direction from the air outlet toward the air inlet as viewed from a front side.
Drying rack
An occupant support for a vehicle includes a seat bottom and a seat back. At least one of the seat bottom and the seat back includes an integrated article-drying system configured to dry articles.
CONVEYANCE SEAT
Regarding a skin in which pores are formed for passage of a current of air generated by an air blower, the present invention properly ensures strength around the pores. A vehicle seat includes a skin forming a part of a seat body facing an occupant and an air blower attached to the seat body. The skin is provided with a top layer provided on a side of the skin facing the occupant in a thickness direction and a fabric layer provided at a position on a side opposite to the top layer. A plurality of pores allowing passage of a current of air generated by the air blower are formed in both the top layer and the fabric layer. A part of the fabric layer positioned at an edge of the pore is made of a fabric constituted by urethane resin-impregnated fibers being knitted.
VENTILATED SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE SEAT
A ventilated system for a vehicle seat. The ventilated system includes a ventilator fan, a fan housing and a fixing member. The fan housing covers the ventilator fan, and the fixing member is adapted to be secured in or on a trim part of the vehicle seat. The fan housing or the fixing member includes a concentric ring element having a wall portion and an engaging element. The fixing member or the fan housing has an engaging portion adapted to engage with the engaging element of the concentric ring element. While engaging, the wall portion of the concentric ring element forms a wall around the airflow to avoid any air leakage from/in-between the engaging portion of the fixing member and fan housing.
VEHICLE ZONAL MICROCLIMATE SYSTEM
A vehicle occupant air curtain system includes a seat that has a seat cushion and a seat back. The seat back has a region that is configured to be arranged above an occupant shoulder. An air vent is supported on the seat back and is arranged in the region. The air vent is configured to be directed adjacent to a seated occupant's head and neck.
Insert for integration into trim layer and providing conditioning
An insert comprising: (a) a cover layer; (b) a spacer layer located below the cover layer; (c) a connection material that is adapted to extend between and connect the cover layer to a trim layer so that the insert is fixed to the trim layer.
Ventilated seat assembly with active air flow
A ventilated seat assembly with active air circulation including a structural frame element, a cushion assembly supported by the structural frame element, a perforated dress cover, a conduit network embedded in the cushion assembly configured to direct air to at least one target region of the cushion assembly, an air mover coupled in fluid communication with the conduit network, and a controller operable for activating the air mover to cause air to flow through the conduit network to the at least one target region. In operation, the controller activates the air mover to flow air, such as unconditioned air, through the conduit network to be released through the dress cover in the at least one target region.
Temperature-Controlled Child Care Support and Transport Device
The present invention relates to a temperature-controlled child support and transfer device for cooling and warming a child positioned in the seat. More specifically, the seat has a Peltier unit for controlling temperature of air blowing onto the seat and has a fan unit for blowing air. The seat has a power source, a temperature control to control temperature and a fan control to control speed of the fan. In another embodiment, the seat has heating grids for providing heat to the seat and a fan unit coupled to a conduit for blowing cool air onto the seat. The seat can be used with vehicle, stroller, swing, crib, or bassinet.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING VENTILATION SHEET FOR VEHICLE
Disclose are is method of manufacturing a ventilation sheet for a vehicle. The ventilation sheet for a vehicle is manufactured by performing anti-fouling finishing treatment using an anti-fouling coating agent including an anti-fouling composition. The anti-fouling properties can be improved to prevent the sheet from being fouled, and flame-retardant treatment is performed through a flame-retardant aqueous solution including flame-retardant PET fiber and flame retardant in bath so that the deterioration of flame retardancy caused by the improved anti-fouling properties can be prevented through the flame-retardant treatment while ventilation properties are maintained.
