The present application provides an automobile seat cushion comprising: a body shaped like a flat sheet that has a top surface in contact with the buttocks of a user and a bottom surface in contact with an automobile seat; a plurality of protrusions that are distributed under the bottom surface of the body and provided to vertically protrude downward from the bottom surface, the plurality of protrusions being formed integrally with the body of the seat cushion; and a plurality of vertical ventilation holes that are formed to be recessed downward from the top surface of the body, the plurality of vertical ventilation holes and the plurality of protrusions being in one-to-one correspondence vertically, wherein each vertical ventilation hole of the plurality of vertical ventilation holes vertically extends downward beyond the bottom surface of the body from the top surface of the body, and enters into a corresponding protrusion but does not penetrate through a bottom of the corresponding protrusion, and wherein each protrusion of the plurality of protrusions is provided with a horizontal ventilation hole that penetrates through at least one side surface of the protrusion, and the horizontal ventilation hole and the vertical ventilation hole meet and communicate with each other in the protrusion.

It is provided a seat pad having excellent comfort in seating with improved air permeability and cushion durability in a seat pad of the vehicle seat. The seat pad includes an air permeable member having a ventilation n function with an outside. The seat pad is integrally foam molded using a foamed resin material in a state where the air permeable member is introduced. The seat pad has a surface of the air permeable member projecting with respect to a surface of the seat pad located at a closest position to the air permeable member.

A method of controlling a seat cooling cycle in a vehicle seat includes determining whether a vehicle cooling system is operating. If the vehicle cooling system is operating, then executing a seat cooling cycle such that portions of an occupant-facing surface of the vehicle seat are urged outwardly to create high contact zones between the occupant and the portions of the vehicle seat that have been urged outwardly, and such that areas of reduced occupant contact are defined between adjacent ones of the portions of the occupant-facing surface that are urged outwardly, wherein the areas of reduced occupant contact define low pressure zones that facilitate the flow of air between the vehicle seat and the occupant within the low pressure zones.

The present invention comprises a ventilation system in a flexible heat exchanger system of a seating assembly. It relates to a flexible layer having perforations positioned underneath the surface of the seat that enables ventilation to control temperature and humidity. The seating assembly comprises of a plurality of layers wherein the seating assembly has an upper layer upon which the occupant is in direct contact with, a middle layer having a heat exchanger system with perforated cooling pads or ventilation system for ventilation and a lower layer which is a cushioned layer having vents. The ventilation system includes but not limited to an array of holes, pores and cavities for maintaining temperature and humidity thus making the seating assembly breathable.

A seat for a passenger compartment, for example a vehicle passenger compartment. The seat has a backrest that includes a heating device for heating the space behind the backrest. The heating device includes, from front to back of the backrest, an insulating layer which is a foam, a heating layer, and an outer layer which forms the back of the backrest. The assembly of the insulating layer and the heating layer is achieved by compression on at least their peripheries.

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.

An air distribution system that includes a plenum. The plenum has a top layer having one or more top layer corrugations; a bottom layer having one or more bottom layer corrugations; and an open space formed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The one or more top layer corrugations and the one or more bottom layer corrugations are spaced apart and oppose one another, and when the plenum flexes, the one or more top layer corrugations contact the one or more bottom layer corrugations.

A method of controlling a seat cooling cycle in a vehicle seat includes determining whether a vehicle cooling system is operating. If the vehicle cooling system is operating, then executing a seat cooling cycle such that portions of an occupant-facing surface of the vehicle seat are urged outwardly to create high contact zones between the occupant and the portions of the vehicle seat that have been urged outwardly, and such that areas of reduced occupant contact are defined between adjacent ones of the portions of the occupant-facing surface that are urged outwardly, wherein the areas of reduced occupant contact define low pressure zones that facilitate the flow of air between the vehicle seat and the occupant within the low pressure zones.

A seating module for a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, may have at least a substantially air-permeable upholstery part. The upholstery part is substantially configured to let air-flow pass through horizontally.
