The bracket (50) is provided with a first engagement portion (110) protruding toward the pan frame (12), and the pan frame (12) is provided with a first engagement hole (12A) in which the first engagement portion (110) is engageable. The first engagement portion (110) includes a first stopper portion (112) configured to be locked to the pan frame (12) when the first engagement portion (110) is engaged in the first engagement hole (12A), and a first elastically deformable portion (113) configured to deform elastically to allow the first stopper portion (112) to pass through the first engagement hole (12A) when the first engagement portion (110) is inserted into the first engagement hole (12A).

A seat pad 10 comprises a cushion pad 11 as a seat portion to be sat on, wherein a high ventilation member 12 higher in ventilation property than a cushion pad member forming the cushion pad 11 is embedded in a part of the cushion pad 11 except a under-hip portion located under hips when sitting, in a state of being exposed only to a rear side of the cushion pad.

A seat assembly for a vehicle comprises a seat base fixed to a vehicle floor, a seat back pivotably disposed to the seat base, a first side bolster mounted onto a first side of the seat back, a second side bolster mounted onto a second side of the seat back, a third side bolster mounted onto a first side of the seat base, a fourth side bolster mounted onto a second side of the seat base, and a back insert mounted within the seat back, each of the side bolsters including a support member and an outer trim member, the support members each including a base, an outer frame and a plurality of interior support walls, the outer frame and the plurality of interior support walls defining a plurality of passages extending through each support member to allow light and air to pass through.

A vehicle seat and a vehicle, with the vehicle seat are provided. The vehicle seat includes a seat cushion, a backrest, and at least one of a cavity located under the seat cushion and a cavity located under the backrest. The at least one cavity includes at least one air intake, at least one air outlet, and at least one drain port.

In a seat pad 10, a high ventilation member 12 higher in ventilation property than a seat pad member forming the seat pad 10 is embedded in a state of being exposed only to a rear side of the seat pad. The high ventilation member 12 is polyurethane foam subjected to membrane removal treatment, the polyurethane foam subjected to membrane removal treatment having a density of 20 kg/m.sup.3 to 40 kg/m.sup.3 and a number of cells of 45 cells or less per 25 mm.

A cushion cover for a ventilation seat includes: a first adhesive layer including an upper surface coupled to a lower surface of a cushion part of the ventilation seat, the lower surface of the cushion provided with an air flow channel; a non-permeable layer made of a non-permeable material and including an upper surface coupled to a lower surface of the first adhesive layer to block the air flow channel of the lower surface of the cushion part from outside; and a protective layer coupled to a lower surface of the non-permeable layer to direct friction between the non-permeable layer and a seat structure.

A ventilated child car seat system. The system includes a child car seat attachable to a base, which is securable to a seat of a vehicle. The seat comprises a cushioned seat portion affixed to a frame. The frame includes a canopy and a handle affixed thereto. The frame includes several pluralities of air vents positioned thereon, and the base also includes several pluralities of air vents positioned thereon. The air vents facilitate air flow therethrough for cooling a baby laying therein, and in this manner the system prevents the baby from overheating in the vehicle.

A vehicle seat and seating system is disclosed that includes a seat portion (e.g., seat bottom, seat back) defining a cavity with an inlet in fluid communication with a vehicle cabin and an outlet in fluid communication with an ambient environment. The cavity with the inlet and outlet provide an exhaust to allow air in the cabin to escape to the ambient environment when the air is pressurized due to, for example, a vehicle door closing. An acoustic seal is provided adjacent the cavity and is configured to seal at least a portion of the passageway to reduce or dampen sound from entering the cabin.

In a preferred embodiment there is disclosed a vehicular seat element comprising a foam substrate, the foam substrate comprising an A-surface for contact by an occupant and a B-surface opposed to the A-surface, a central portion of the A-surface have a first surface area and comprising a plurality of channels, the central portion of the A-surface comprising an occupant contact portion having a second surface area, wherein the first surface area is greater than the second surface area, a plurality of apertures disposed in the plurality of channels, each aperture interconnecting the A-surface and the B-surface of the foam substrate. The plurality of channels acts a distribution manifold for air to be moved laterally with respect to the A-surface of the foam pad and also through the holes in the seat pad to allow for circulation of air. In other words, the through holes in the foam provide a pass for air to flow from the B-surface of the foam pad to the A-surface of the foam pad, and vice versa. This air flow is further promoted by compressing and decompressing of the foam by the mass of the occupant while the vehicle is in motion. This compression and decompression of the foam creates a so-called bellows effect to push or pull air through the vehicular seat. Ideally, the series of channels molded in the A-surface of the foam pad form a manifold that enhances air distribution by providing multiple paths for the air flow around (not just beneath) the occupant and through the seat.

A seat pad 10 comprises a cushion pad 11 as a seat portion to be sat on, wherein a high ventilation member 12 higher in ventilation property than a cushion pad member forming the cushion pad 11 is embedded in a part of the cushion pad 11 except a under-hip portion located under hips when sitting, in a state of being exposed only to a rear side of the cushion pad.
