A vehicle heating apparatus is a heating apparatus to be mounted on or built in a vehicle seat at a position below a sitting portion of the vehicle seat. The vehicle heating apparatus includes: a housing having an intake port, a blowing port, and an internal space serving as a flow path of air from the intake port to the blowing port; a fan provided in the internal space of the housing; and a heater provided in the internal space of the housing. In a usage state where the vehicle heating apparatus is mounted on or built in the vehicle seat, the blowing port is located above the intake port and opens downwardly with respect to a horizontal direction. Thereby, the amount of heating required for the heater is further reduced.

A headrest assembly is removeably supported on a vehicle seat having a seatback with a seatback frame. The headrest assembly includes a headrest bun operably coupled to a housing via a powered linkage system for driving the headrest bun between extended and retracted positions. A temperature control system is disposed in the housing and configured to provide treated air to a conditioning area disposed below the headrest bun at a vehicle occupant's neck. The temperature control system includes a blower operably coupled to duct assembly for blowing air treated by a thermoelectric module along the duct assembly. One or more vents are disposed at a downward angle on a front portion of the housing. The one or more vents are operably coupled to and in communication with the duct assembly.

A vehicle heating apparatus (10a) to be mounted on or built in a vehicle seat (2) at a location below a sitting portion S of the vehicle seat (2) includes a housing (20), a fan (14), and a heater (15). The housing (20) has an intake port (11), a left nozzle (12l), a right nozzle (12r), an air curtain nozzle (12c), and an internal space (13) serving as air flow paths from the intake port (11) to the left nozzle (12l), to the right nozzle (12r), and to the air curtain nozzle (12c). The air curtain nozzle (12c) is located between the left nozzle (12l) and the right nozzle (12r), and is formed so as to, in the usage state, blow air delivered by the fan (14) in a direction inclined upward at an angle of not more than 90 to a direction in which warm wind is blown out of the left nozzle (12l) and the right nozzle (12r).

A ventilating device is provided that includes at least one air guidance device and a heater resistor and/or a heat conducting pipe. The at least one air guidance device has at least one channel segment that is swingable relative to at least one additional channel segment. At least one of the channel segments carries the heater resistor and/or the heat conducting pipe to control a temperature of air streaming through the at least one air guidance device.

A system for selectively providing either a heated or cooled flow of air to the neck area of the seat occupant. A first embodiment of the present invention provides air flow out of adjustable nozzles fitted to each of the head restraint stays. According to this embodiment, air may also flow out of a vent provided in the front of the head restraint. A second embodiment of the present invention provides air flow out of an adjustable vent positioned on the upper portion of the seat back. Waste air is vented through the seat back or the seat base in a direction away from the conditioned air vents. Waste air is vented near the base of the seat back, through both the seat back and the seat base and out of the seat base, or through both the seat back and the seat base and through the vehicle floor.

An air distribution device that includes an air inlet (44), a first air outlet (46), a second air outlet (48), and a door (52). The door (52) is configured to move relative to the first air outlet (46) and the second air outlet (48) to adjust an airflow provided through the air inlet (44), the first air outlet (46) and the second air outlet (48). The air distribution device may be used in a vehicle seat, a vehicle, or both.
