A shock mitigation seat 10 includes a plurality of individual shock absorbing members 16 resilient to compression from a shock impact. The shock absorbing members 16 are positioned one adjacent another and such that at a certain stage of compression an individual shock absorbing member 16 resiliently deforms and comes into contact with one or more adjacent individual shock absorbing members 16 which thereby increases resistance to further compression. The seat may be incorporated in a shock mitigation system 50 which has at least one sensor operable to detect a force and to provide a feedback signal indicative of the nature of the force and a memory record the incidence and severity of these forces and provides an indication of cumulative forces absorbed.

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.

A foam core (12) for a cushion (8, 9) of a seat part (2) or a reclining part or a back rest (3) of a piece of upholstered furniture (1) or a motor vehicle seat (11) or for a mattress or support surface of a piece of reclining furniture, with a core base (13) of foam material, in particular of cold foam, visco foam, latex foam or molded foam, there being in the core base (13) a plurality of spring strips (14) which run preferably at least essentially parallel to one another. It is provided that at least one spring strip (14) has an in particular pultruded fiber core (20) which has preferably glass fibers, and a mantle (21) of a thermoplastic material, in particular of polypropylene, which surrounds the fiber core (20).

A vehicle seating assembly having a seat including a support frame. A seatback is pivotally coupled with the seat and is adjustable between a passenger support position configured to support the weight of a passenger and a cargo position. The seatback is folded forward to a substantially horizontal position. A seat cushion includes a dynamic forward portion and a generally static rearward portion. An articulation feature is disposed below the forward portion of the seat cushion. The articulation feature is operable between a deployed and a non-deployed position. Movement to the deployed position results in the dynamic forward portion of the seat cushion being adjusted to a raised position. Movement to the non-deployed position results in the dynamic forward portion of the seat cushion being adjusted to a lowered position that allows the seatback to fold forward to the cargo position.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular for rail transport, with a seat part, with a backrest part and with a soft upholstery section arranged on at least one hard seat plate for upholstering a seat surface of the seat part, in which the upholstery section has an upholstery cover on the upper side and an upholstery foam section which covers the entire surface of the upholstery cover, the upholstery foam section having at least one recess on the underside in which a plurality of foam spring elements arranged next to one another in the form of hollow cylinders are embedded.
